An An Hotel is a step above its surrounding competitors. Of course the price is higher, but so it should be. Located on Bui Vien, where Mini-Hotel Alley empties out, the An An is spitting distance from De Tham and the heart of Pham Ngu Lao. All rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with modern furniture. They include air-con, cable TV and a fridge with mini-bar, and spacious bathrooms -- with bath tubs -- are standard. The highlight of the An An Hotel is the deluxe room on the 11th floor. Large windows run the length of the wall and provide a stunning view towards the south of Saigon -- the bathroom also commands a spectacular visage. Obviously, the lower down you go, the worse the view gets, until you arrive in a standard room which has no view to speak of. All rooms come with complimentary ADSL access. We've used the ground-floor travel agent and have found them to be reliable. An An is always busy so make sure you confirm your bookings before arrival as there have been some complaints of reservations not being honoured.

Top floor is GREAT - 16th December, 2007
Stayed here for one night and will return again after Mui Ne. Splashed out on the luxury top floor room (111) $36 and it was the biggest room I have stayed in over 4 weeks in Vietnam. The views are GREAT and I could have stared out of them all day. Good aircon, friendly staff and are looking after my luggage until I return from a side trip. Great area to be in, just around the corner from Sinh Cafe for buses to everywhere. Nice restaurants nearby. Go for it, it's worth every cent

Nice Hotel - 13th February, 2009
Nice Location. Rooms are Nice and Clean. Only thing is they lock the doors around 11 p.m. and have to buzz the night person to get in. Staff is friendly as well.

Nice place - 11th August, 2008
We stayed here 26july for one night. Airport pickup was $15 and worth it for the peace of mind when arriving in a foreign country. However we waited over an hour for another passenger who never showed? We cant fault the service however as we found all the staff friendly and helpful. The accomodation was great, it had all the basic things that come with a hotel. We paid $36 for a double room on the 10th floor. The room was huge and spotless and we didnt find noise to be a problem. At reception there is also a tour desk, no restaurant or hangout area so no real vibe although we started up a few convo's with people in the elevator and met another couple while they were booking a tour. Anan is a safe bet, but at thirty six bucks should probably include brekkie. It wasnt a prob for us however as we just cruised on down to sozo (i think thats the name) across the road from stella for brekkie and paid about 30,000 dong thats under $2 USD for omellette toast and a fruit shake :)

Nice, good value - 8th December, 2007
Tried to book a room through the internet and was told is was fully booked. Went there the next day when I arrived and got a room! $28 for a room with 2 beds which could sleep 3 people, bathroom with a bath, aircon, Tv and minibar. Friendly staff, can book all sorts of tours. Recommended.
