About
Chang Oi Homestay Sai Gon
Chang Oi Homestay Sai Gon sits in a narrow alley off De Tham Street, putting it steps from the backpacker energy of Bui Vien while keeping guest rooms tucked away from the main drag. The property is roughly a 20-minute walk from Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, though most guests find themselves heading the opposite direction toward the bars and restaurants that fill the surrounding streets.
The rooms keep things simple: a double bed, air conditioning, a balcony, and a clean space that several reviewers described as comfortable. Wi-Fi is free in public areas, and the staff consistently earn high marks for friendliness. If you want to be in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City's most lively neighbourhood, this homestay delivers on location without sacrificing a decent night's sleep.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central but tucked away — The homestay is inside an alley just off De Tham, quietly removed from the main street noise while still a short walk from Bui Vien's bars and restaurants.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests consistently single out the staff as approachable and welcoming, and the category score reflects that.
- Clean, comfortable rooms with air conditioning — Simple rooms that cover the essentials – a comfortable bed, working AC, and cleanliness that several reviewers noted.
- Good value for the location — Guests rate the value highly, suggesting the balance of price and location works well for this part of town.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The property does not list parking, and the alleyway setting makes street parking unlikely to be an option.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 13:30 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to plan ahead.
- Limited room variety — With only one room type listed – a double with a king bed – this may not suit larger groups or families.
- No breakfast mention — There is no indication of breakfast being served, so guests should expect to head out for meals.
