Ola's Home

Ola's Home is a homestay in Binh Thanh, 6.4 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with rooms that have air conditioning and, in two cases, balconies with city views. It offers four room types, suited to couples, families and small groups who want a comfortable base in the city rather than a full hotel service.

The most compact room is the 15 m² Double Room with Shared Bathroom, which has a large King-size bed, a desk and a refrigerator. The two 16 m² twin rooms combine a single bed with a double bed, and one of them sleeps three. Family rooms are offered, the property is non-smoking throughout, and a kitchen with kitchenware is available to guests. Bathrooms are shared, with a shower, hairdryer and free toiletries.

Guests rate it highly, especially for cleanliness and staff. Pets are welcome on request with no extra charge. There is no parking on site and no internet access, so plan your transport and bring a local SIM card before you arrive. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 2.5 km away.

Ola's Home has four room types, and the bathrooms are shared across the property. The Double Room with Shared Bathroom is the most compact at 15 m² and has one large King-size bed, a desk and a refrigerator. The two 16 m² twin rooms each combine a single bed with a double bed, and the Economy Double Room is built around one large King-size bed for two guests. Family rooms are offered and the range is non-smoking throughout.

The Twin Room with Shared Bathroom is the only room that sleeps three, and it has a balcony with city views. The Twin Room with Balcony has the same view and also a refrigerator, which suits guests who want outdoor space and a fridge in one room. Air conditioning is standard, and the bathrooms come with a shower, hairdryer, slippers, towels and free toiletries.

The facilities at Ola's Home are practical rather than extensive. Air conditioning runs through the rooms, and the bathrooms are shared, with a shower, hairdryer, slippers and towels. Free toiletries come with the rooms, and a kitchen with kitchenware is available to guests who want to cook for themselves. The property is non-smoking throughout, and family rooms are offered.

Pets are allowed on request, with no extra charges, so the homestay suits travellers with a pet. The property has no parking and no internet access, so guests should arrange their transport and a local SIM card before arriving. Reception staff speak Vietnamese, and the Double Room with Shared Bathroom and the twin rooms have a socket near the bed for charging devices.

The two balconies overlook the city, which makes the twin rooms the place to sit outside after a day out.
