Where To Stay In Ho Chi Minh City? 

Nguyen Hue Street Ho Chi Minh City

So what’s the best area to stay in Ho Chi Minh City? Ho Chi Minh City is divided into districts. District 1 is definitely the most convenient for visitors, as it has the most sights, restaurants and hotels. District 1, however, is a fairly large area, so from there it will depend on what specifically you want out of your stay.

The area around Dong Khoi Street, Nguyen Hue Street, Le Loi and Hai Bai Trung are where you will find most luxury hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. It is very central, close to lots of sights and restaurants. This would be my pick for where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City.

Pham Ngu Lao Street Ho Chi Minh City

Pham Ngu Lao street and the area surrounding it is known as the backpackers area. If you’re looking for budget accommodation and the best place to stay in Ho Chi Minh for nightlife, then this is for you.

The area around Ben Thanh Market is quite central, a great option if you’re not wanting to stay in the backpacker area.

See our favourite hotel picks for where to stay in Ho Chi Minh District 1 in our accommodation guide below.

Some parts of District 3 that are close to District 1 are also a good option. So when deciding which district to stay in Ho Chi Minh, District 1 or District 3 (near district 1) are your best options.

An Lam is located along the river in an area quite far from the city centre. A complimentary shuttle speed boat service is provided for transport into the city (20 minute boat ride). It’s perfect if you have a few days to relax and don’t want to spend every day exploring and seeing the sights. But if you want to see the sights and spend your days mostly outside of your accommodation, then this location would be inconvenient.
