Khách Sạn Kim Long

Khách Sạn Kim Long is a 1-star hotel in District 10, 3.6 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that have balconies and private bathrooms. It suits travellers who want a simple, well-equipped room in a residential district rather than in the busy streets of District 1. Every room has a flat-screen TV, a desk and free toiletries.

The hotel has two room types: a Double Room of 16 m² and a Family Room of 20 m² for up to four guests. Facilities include a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, 24-hour security, concierge service, luggage storage, room service, and private and express check-in and check-out.

The setting is practical rather than scenic. Saigon Railway Station is 1.4 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport about 3 km, while Tao Dan Park and the War Remnants Museum are each 2.9 km away, a short taxi ride into the centre.

Khách Sạn Kim Long has two room types, and both are air-conditioned, with a balcony, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and free toiletries. The Double Room is the smaller of the two at 16 m² and has a shower, a hairdryer, slippers and a desk, set up for two guests with a double bed and an extra-large super-king bed.

The Family Room is the larger option at 20 m² and sleeps up to four guests. It has two large King-size beds, and its bathroom adds a bidet to the shower. Both rooms have a balcony, a dining area and a flat-screen TV, so the main difference is space and capacity. Families and small groups will find the Family Room more comfortable, while couples and solo travellers will find the Double Room compact but complete.

Reception runs a 24-hour front desk, and guests can use private check-in and check-out, express check-in and check-out, and concierge service. Daily housekeeping, room service, luggage storage, a wake-up service and lockers are offered. Security is 24-hour security, with CCTV in the common areas, and family rooms are available for groups.

The hotel is non-smoking throughout. Each room has a wardrobe or closet, an electric kettle, a clothes rack and a dining area, and the bathroom is stocked with toilet paper, towels and free toiletries. In-room media includes a flat-screen TV and internet services, and WiFi is available in all areas and is free of charge. Private parking is possible on site, but it needs a reservation and costs VND 70,000 per day.

Khách Sạn Kim Long stands on Tô Hiến Thành street in District 10, a busy residential district that lies 3.6 km from the city centre. Everyday life is close at hand: the Chợ thuốc Quận 10 medicine market is 300 m away, the Hội Thánh Tô Hiến Thành church is 550 m, and the FITO Museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine is 700 m. Several cafés, a Lotteria branch on the same street and the Bún Bò Huê 149 restaurant are within a short walk, so meals and errands can be done on foot. The street is lined with small shops, and the pace is quieter than in the tourist streets of District 1.

Getting around is straightforward. Saigon Railway Station is 1.4 km away, Tan Son Nhat International Airport about 3 km, and the two city bus stations are both within 3 km of the hotel: Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Vĩnh Viễn at 1.7 km and Bến xe Sài Gòn at 2.8 km. A taxi or a ride-hailing car is the simplest way to cover each of these trips, and the shops and eateries along the street keep most daily needs within walking distance.

For sightseeing, Tao Dan Park and the War Remnants Museum are each 2.9 km from the hotel. The War Remnants Museum is one of the most visited sights in the city and deals with the Vietnam War, while Tao Dan Park is a shaded green space for an early walk. Closer to hand, Công viên Hoa hồng park is 1.4 km away and the Southeastern Armed Forces Museum is 2.4 km. A workable plan is to visit the Tao Dan and War Remnants pair in the morning and return to the quieter streets of District 10 for the evening.
