Great location, helpful staff. We booked Mekong Delta excursion in the hotel, it was amazing.

Rooster in the neighbourhood 🤣

It's no 5 star hotel but offers fantastic value for your money. Comparable to decent budget hotel at hostel prices. Great location. Staff are kind and friendly and breakfast is decent even if it lacks variety. No elevator but luggage can be lifted via motorized cable. Rooftop patio is an interesting space but would be better if there were an electrical outlet, a vending machine or something, as it is now its hard to justify the trip up so many stairs. Highly recommend for a budget conscious tourist!

The hotel was very clean, little extras such as toothbrush, shampoo, mineralwater, etc were provided without any charge. Staff was always available, super friendly and very kind. The view from the 5th floor was phenomenal! Beds were really comfortable. Huge +: lift for your backpack

Ally to the hotel was really dark which makes it a bit uncomfortable. You can not lock the door to the room and the bathroom door wouldn't close properly. Because of the location it was a little bit noisy but we could deal with it.

- Central location - Friendly staff - Clean room - Spacious bathroom - Towels don’t smell misty after usage

- The windows do not close all the way, leaving a gap and you can hear the noises coming from the party street nearby - Breakfast is ridiculous – one of the options is: 2 eggs, 1 baguette, 1 banana and something that looks like coffee. After the first day we had our breakfasts at the Little HaNoi Egg Coffee – highly recommend!!! - A lot of stairs - Beds are very hard   - Internet was horrible. I managed to use the “Rooftop 5G” – Pass: 79797979 - The hotel uses a motor pulley system for the luggage because there is no lift. This is extremely loud - once they used it at 23:00 and once at 08:00 and I am sure they woke up the entire hotel, not just us. So it has its pros and cons.

The biggest advantage by far is the location, which is a great hub for sightseeing and especially nightlife in Bui Vien. The room was smaller than the pictures showed, but it was still fully adequate for 2 people. As for cleanliness it was acceptable, but there are still many elements to be improved. There was a stain on the bedding, there was a fungus in the corner of the room, and the bathroom also felt that it had not been refreshed for a long time. The breakfast selection was poor, but the fried noodles were tasty and the portion was adequate. The staff, despite the language barrier, was helpful and assisted with the following without any problems: arranging excursions, buying a SIM card and printing boarding passes before departure.

As I mentioned above - the cleanliness of the room leaves a little to be desired. A big problem for some may be the lack of elevators, but in our case the second floor did not cause problems. The view from the window was also terrible, as it was pointing directly into a residential building just 3 meteres across the alley, so you are unable to open curtains at any point, unless you want to be seen by other people. One can also complain about the comfort of the bed, which was of Japanese standard - very hard. Maybe not very comfortable, but at least healthy for the spine:)

The staff are super helpful and the location is great, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. It in a small alley off a main street which is convenient and silent at night. There are lots of markets, cafes, and restaurants around, and you can walk to all main tourist sights.

It's an old building so we had a third floor without elevator which was exhausting after a day of walking in the Vietnamese heat (and there were more floors above us). They do have a pulley to bring the bags up and down for guests which is super comfortable, but bear the stairs in mind if it is important to you.

The hotel is in a great location, in an area full of hostels and backpackers. The hotel is very clean, and the staff was very helpful with everything, from booking daily tours to asking me if I needed anything. One day I felt sick and they offered me some fruits which was really nice. The facilities are really good and I overall really recommend it.

Two main things: the breakfast and the wifi. The wifi was not reliable at all, sometimes it worked, but most of the time I had to use my SIM card data. If you have lots of data this is not a problem. The breakfast was not very good, eggs were dry and the noodles too. One side-note, there's a chicken or a bird somewhere in the neighborhood that starts making noises early in the morning, but if you stay in the area, you will probably hear it.

Hotel was lovely and clean, fresh bottled water provided daily and breakfast was nice. Location is perfect, central and close to everything but still tucked away down an alleyway so it wasn't noisy. The staff were always helpful and friendly. Room had everything I needed and the bed was comfortable. They also offer laundry service which is quick at a very good rate. Would happily stay here again.

The wifi wasn't the best, it worked sometimes and others not. There is no elevator so you need to walk up the stairs which can be a little difficult especially when you're not used to the heat. However, no elevator is typical in Vietnam and the staff were very helpful in taking all luggage up and down whenever needed. Also, just a small note that when rooms were made up each day, anything opened such as soap or toothbrush was thrown out. Although new ones were provided this seems quite wasteful (perhaps this is the hotels policy, I did not ask).

Everything! The hotel is tucked behind a small alleyway amidst the central vibrant hood of Bui Vien. Though closr to the party area, it's completely quiet. They offer included breakfast with various choices (vegetarian friendly too) daily with food and drinks. Helpful staff who's always available whenever you need something or even someone local to talk to. Parking lot is limited but manageable. Comfortable bedding. I went for a small room but it doesnt really matter for a short one night stay. Decent unpacking space and check in is seamless.

No stairs. I've been alerted about the absence of lift but if your fitness level agree then feel free to go ahead and book this awesome place.

Had a blast at Spotlight Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam during my four-night stay. It was a very nice experience. The hosts at reception were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made my stay all the more enjoyable. The hotel's location is extremely convenient, making it easy to explore the city's attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and I was particularly satisfied with the breakfast provided each morning.

I didn't encounter anything I didn't like about Spotlight Hotel. From the exceptionally helpful hosts to the affordability that makes it such a great deal for solo travelers, my experience was nothing short of delightful.
