Description

Crowne Cafe Hotel Pham Ngu Lao is an aparthotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with private bathrooms in every room and a 24-hour front desk. Its rooms measure 25 m² or 35 m², and the range runs from a double room for two to a larger room with two large beds for up to four guests. The property sits in the nightlife and eating area around Bui Vien, so it suits travellers who want to be near the city's bars and restaurants.

The staff speak English and Vietnamese, and the front desk is open around the clock. Free public parking is available on site without a reservation, and the property is non-smoking throughout. Ben Thanh Market is 750 m away and Independence Palace 1.1 km, so the main sights of the centre are a short walk from the door.
