The Haven

The Haven is a homestay in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned family rooms, a mixed dormitory and a sun terrace with a garden. It suits travellers who want a central base with a round-the-clock front desk and who are comfortable sharing the common spaces of a homestay. Every room has air conditioning and a private bathroom, and the two family-sized rooms also have balconies.

The Family Room with Balcony sleeps up to four guests, and the King Room with Balcony sleeps up to six. The Mixed Dormitory Room has eight bunk beds for up to eight guests and suits solo travellers and small groups who are happy to share a room with others. Outdoors, guests can relax on the sun terrace, in the garden, or at the barbecue facilities and picnic area, and indoors the shared lounge and TV area offers a place to sit.

Practical services run from the 24-hour front desk, which offers concierge service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, grocery deliveries and car hire. A minimarket and a coffee house are on site, and the property also has express check-in and check-out, a public bath, and fruit to round out daily needs.

The Haven has three room types, and they share the same basics: air conditioning, a private bathroom and a floor area of 40 m² in each case, so the choice comes down to the layout. The two family-sized rooms, the Family Room with Balcony and the King Room with Balcony, suit parents with children or small groups travelling together. The first has one double bed and one bunk bed for up to four guests, while the second has an extra-large double bed and two single beds for up to six guests.

The third option is the Mixed Dormitory Room, with eight bunk beds for up to eight guests. It also has a private bathroom and air conditioning, but guests of both sexes share the room, so it works best for solo travellers who are at ease with shared sleeping space. Balconies come only with the two family-sized rooms, so anyone who wants one should choose either of those.

The Haven's facilities are built around outdoor space and round-the-clock service. A sun terrace, a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and barbecue facilities give guests room to spend time outside, while a shared lounge with a TV area and a public bath offer shared indoor spaces. The 24-hour front desk is backed by concierge service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, and car hire.

Everyday needs are covered on site by a minimarket, grocery deliveries, a coffee house and fruit. WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge, and private parking is possible on site, though a reservation is needed and charges may apply. Air conditioning and a private bathroom come with every room.

The Haven is on Nguyễn Trãi street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City. Guests find the setting quiet and local for such a central address, and several cafés and restaurants lie within 100 m. The nearest landmark is the Nhà Thờ Đức Bà Fatima church, 100 m away, with the Chùa Lâm Tế pagoda at 250 m and Thai Binh Market at 450 m, so everyday shopping and a walk to a pagoda need no transport.

Transport links are spread around the district. Ben Thanh Station is 1.5 km away, Saigon Railway Station is 2.2 km, and the Sài Gòn bus station is 550 m from the property, which makes it the closest long-distance coach point. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.3 km away, a distance usually covered by taxi, and most of the sights below are reached the same way when you have luggage or are short of time.

For sightseeing, Tao Dan Park is 1.3 km away, the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is 1.6 km and the War Remnants Museum is 1.8 km, while Công viên số 1 Lý Thái Tổ park lies 800 m from the property. A taxi between them keeps each leg short, and the district's markets and streets for evening food are a short walk from the door for a more relaxed afternoon.
