This was our first stop in Vietnam, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The place is wonderful, clean, and perfectly located to explore the city. We stayed in the private two bedroom apartment but also visited their homestay & cafe. Special thanks to Huy and Bao, who went above and beyond to help us with everything, from booking activities and keeping our luggage after check-out, to even designing a Google Maps route so we could make the most of our visit. They were always available and happy to assist at any time of the day. We really appreciate all their help and kindness, it made our first days in Vietnam feel so easy and welcoming. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay in Ho Chi Minh/Saigon! From the moment we arrived, the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome – truly the best host we’ve ever had. Every detail was taken care of with so much kindness and professionalism. The room exceeded our expectations: very spacious, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. It felt like a perfect retreat in the middle of the bustling city. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully arranged, making our stay both relaxing and convenient. What really stood out was the level of service. Nothing was too much trouble, and the host’s hospitality made us feel completely at home. It’s rare to find such genuine care and attention to guests. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. It’s more than just a stay – it’s an experience we will definitely remember and would love to return to.

The property is great. A very clean room that is nicely furnished and the owners could not have been more helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.
There was a list of proposed costs for any damage to items in the room when I arrived. I thought this was quite bizarre and amature.

What a Great Find - this place was just perfect. So personable and friendly, nothing was a bother. We arrived quite late & check-in was so seamless. We were aware that we needed to pay in cash but they didn’t need us to pay until departure, very trustworthy. Off the Main Street down a SML alleyway which opens up to a beautiful structure. We were on the 3rd floor. Lift was good however we were more than happy to just do the stairs, the luggage did the lift. I cannot recommend this place enough, my husband and I were very comfortable here and the price was amazing for what you get. Thankyou for making our holiday a memorable one.
NOTHING - It was just perfect.

Location: Plenty of restaurants, walking distance to sights (if heat allows!), in a sidestreet which means less noisy. Cleanliness: Crispy white sheet, clean bathrooms We are a family of four with two teens and got the family room. We got quite homely there, good space, Loved playing FIFA (nice little detail of the room) during downtime, Matcha/Coffee downstairs in coffee area was good too.
A couple of days prior we got a message that we cannot pay by creditcard. Easier said than done. The total was 10Mio VND, but you can only get 2Mio out at the ATM. We had to spread the withdrawal over two days, luckily we had two CCs. The withdrawal fee was in total an extra 300.000 VND. Other than that everything was fine.

The service from the brothers who run the homestay was outstanding. They are very helpful and are always smiling. The coffees from the Cafe are so good too. We rebooked for when returned from hanoi and def be staying there again in future visits. The facility is very clean, spacious rooms, bed/pillows are so comfortable. Location is walking distance to many shops. We highly recommended it.
Nothing all was good.

My absolute favourite place we stayed throughout our four week Vietnam trip! Everything was amazing, the room was spacious and clean, the staff were friendly, and the owner was so so helpful! Every time we walked in we were greeted with a smile! I also really appreciated the small touches, like some free snacks in the room and a welcome drink from the cafe on arrival! The coffee was delicious! The owner helped us book an awesome trip to the cu chi tunnels, and was always a message away if we needed absolutely anything. The location was also great too! Highly highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back!

Leiden Homestay&Cafe really stands out in the neighbourhood. It's bright, perfectly well-designed, and overall looks like a toy house. The staff are all amazing and very helpful. The room I had was very spacious and convenient. Clean modern bathroom, comfy bed. The room had quite a few windows overlooking neighbours' rooftop gardens, so you could choose to watch that or roll down the blinds. I've really enjoyed staying there. The place is located in a relatively quiet area which is still cental enough to walk to most places you'd be interested to see. It's not facing the main road (but is just around the corner), so it feels very peaceful. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

A very warm, friendly welcome set us into a good frame of mind from the start. Our bedroom (Anna) was an exceptionally spacious, airy room with ample storage and plenty of complimentary snacks as well as the usual tea/coffee/water and toiletries. The whole place was spotlessly clean and the cafe a popular local meeting place serving excellent coffee and pastries. The location, down a short alleyway from the main road, was quiet despite being in the heart of District 1. I would not hesitate to recommend the Leiden Homestay to anyone.

We loved absolutely everything about this property- from the big friendly smiles, warm welcome and delicious coffee (the best of our trip) at the cafe downstairs, to the beautiful spacious rooms-a hidden oasis tucked in behind the bustling Saigon streets. This place was absolutely outstanding - believe what the reviews say, it is fantastic! Another thing we loved was coming in and seeing the cafe full of students hanging out as though it was their own living room- this place has a great homey feel! The smell of coffee wafting up the stairs was an added bonus too! When they give you recommendations for local eats- they were also some of the best and most memorable of our whole trip too! I hope we can make it back there one day, but otherwise will be telling everyone about what a fantastic place this is!!!
Nothing. It is perfection!
