Thanh Lan Hotel

Thanh Lan Hotel is a 1-star hotel in Cho Lon, Ho Chi Minh City, 4.0 km from the city centre, with rooms from 14 to 48 m² and a restaurant on site. Cho Lon is the old Chinese quarter of District 5, and the hotel suits travellers who want a base among its temples, markets and cafés rather than a resort-style stay. The lift, room service and 24-hour front desk make it a practical choice for a short city break.

The rooms range from a 14 m² double room with air conditioning and city views to a 48 m² room with three double beds and a king-size bed for up to eight guests. Every room type has a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproof walls and a private entrance, and family rooms are available for groups.

Guests can eat at the on-site restaurant, drink coffee at the coffee house or sit on the terrace, and free WiFi is available in the public areas. Guests often praise the friendly, responsive staff.

Thanh Lan Hotel has three room types, from a 14 m² double room to a 24 m² standard quadruple room and a 48 m² dormitory-style room that sleeps up to eight. Each one has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproof walls and a private entrance, so the differences lie mainly in size and beds.

The double room is the most compact option, with a double bed, air conditioning, a seating area and city views. The standard quadruple room adds a second double bed, a desk and a wardrobe, and it suits four guests who want a city view. The largest room offers three double beds and a king-size bed, a dressing room and an electric kettle, which suits families or groups of up to eight.

Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, and the front desk offers luggage storage, currency exchange, wake-up calls, daily housekeeping, ironing and dry cleaning. Room service is available, and the building has a lift and a terrace.

Dining takes place on site, in the restaurant and the coffee house. Parking is at a public car park nearby, where reservation is needed and charges may apply. Free WiFi is available in the public areas, and the hotel also offers a paid airport shuttle, telephone and internet services.

In the rooms you will find air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, private bathrooms with a shower, bidet, hairdryer and towels, a desk, a wardrobe or closet, an electric kettle and a refrigerator. Soundproofing and private entrances are standard, and the larger rooms have tiled floors.

Thanh Lan Hotel stands in Cho Lon, the old Chinese quarter of District 5, 4.0 km from the city centre. Within 50 m are the Chùa Quang Minh pagoda and several cafés, among them Milano Coffee, The Alley and Steven Tea Coffee, as well as the restaurants Cơm Gà Viễn Đông and Bít Tết Lục Nguyên. The Công viên Võ Văn Kiệt park is 250 m away and the Tịnh Xá Quan Âm pagoda 400 m, so temples and green space are a short walk from the door. The quarter's temples and markets are the main sights within walking distance.

The Bến xe Quang Tỷ Sài Gòn bus station is 1.3 km away and Saigon Railway Station 3.5 km, so both long-distance coach and train journeys end within a short drive of the hotel. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.8 km away, and the hotel runs a paid airport shuttle from there. The Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Vĩnh Viễn bus station, a second coach hub, is 1.6 km away.

For markets, Chợ Ba Đình is 500 m away, and the Công Viên Nước Đại Thế Giới water park is 200 m from the hotel. Further out, the War Remnants Museum is 4 km away and Tao Dan Park 3.6 km, so most museums and parks lie beyond the quarter and need a longer trip. Cho Lon's own streets, with their temples and markets, are the main reason to walk out from the hotel.
