Ho Chi Minh City is huge, so where you stay honestly makes a massive difference to your experience. If it is your first time visiting, choosing a comfortable and central hotel can make the whole trip feel much easier.
Where Should You Stay In Ho Chi Minh City?
For first-time visitors, we would personally recommend staying somewhere central in District 1 so you can easily walk to cafés, restaurants, bars, markets and tourist attractions.
Vietnam also has accommodation for literally every budget, from backpacker hostels to some of the fanciest hotels we’ve ever seen.
