Venus Hotel

Venus Hotel is a 2-star hotel in Go Vap, 8.8 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, on a quiet street close to Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Its rooms are air-conditioned and come with private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs, and three of the four room types have a city view. Room sizes run from 18 m² in the Standard Double Room to 30 m² in the Deluxe Double Room and the Family Room, so there is a choice for solo travellers, couples and families.

The hotel is a practical choice for a short stay in the city rather than a resort. Its outdoor areas include a sun terrace, a garden, a picnic area and outdoor furniture, and the building has a lift, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, laundry and an ironing service. Free WiFi covers the rooms, and private parking on site needs a reservation and costs VND 30,000 per day.

Payment is made by bank transfer before arrival, and the hotel gets in touch after you book to send the instructions. Guests in recent feedback praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendly staff and the value for money, and check-in runs from 14:00 to 19:00, with check-out at 12:00.

Venus Hotel has four room types, from the Standard Double Room at 18 m² up to the Family Room at 30 m², and every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The bathrooms come with a bidet, towels, slippers and free toiletries, and each room has an electric kettle.

Three of the four types overlook the city. The Superior Double Room, at 25 m², is the first step up with a city view, and the Deluxe Double Room, also with a city view, is the largest double room at 30 m². The Family Room, also 30 m², is the only room for four guests, with two large king-size beds, so it suits families and small groups. The Standard Double Room is the smallest and the one without a view, a simple choice for one or two guests.

The outdoor side centres on a sun terrace, a garden, a picnic area and outdoor furniture, so you can sit outside the rooms. Indoors there is a lift, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, laundry and an ironing service, plus key card access and 24-hour security.

Parking is on site, and a reservation is needed; private parking costs VND 30,000 per day. WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge, and the media facilities include a flat-screen TV, satellite channels, a telephone and internet services.

Inside the rooms you find a desk, a clothes rack, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a socket near the bed, with a bath or shower, a bidet, towels and slippers in the bathroom. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are offered.

Venus Hotel sits on Quang Trung street in Go Vap, a residential district of the city, and the street is quiet. The nearest places to eat and drink are Milk Tea Land, 50 m away, the restaurants Nàng Mơ and Kiều Bảo, both 100 m away, and Cafe Carambola Garden at 200 m. The Chùa Thới Hòa pagoda is 350 m from the hotel, the Đình An Hội temple is 550 m, and the Hanh Thong Tay Market is 700 m away, so the neighbourhood's daily life is within a few minutes' walk.

The hotel is 1000 m from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, so the transfer by taxi or ride-hailing car takes only a few minutes. Saigon Railway Station is 6.8 km away, a longer trip across the city. The centre of Ho Chi Minh City is 8.8 km away, so a taxi or ride-hailing car is the practical way to reach the sights in the centre.

The sights of the centre are further out: the War Remnants Museum is 7.8 km away, in District 3, and the Vietnam History Museum is 7.9 km away. Tao Dan Park is 8.3 km away, the Fine Arts Museum 9.1 km, and the Saigon River Tunnel 9.7 km. Closer to home, several parks lie within 1.5 km, among them the Công Viên Làng Hoa Gò Vấp park at 700 m, Lang Hoa Park and Le Van Tho Park, so a morning walk close to the hotel is easy to arrange.
