Chạm's Hotel & Homestay

Chạm's Hotel & Homestay is a hotel in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, 4.9 km from the city centre, with air-conditioned suites and studios that have private entrances and private bathrooms. Room sizes run from 20 to 35 m², and reception staff speak English and Vietnamese, which helps with check-in and with questions about the city.

Several rooms have a kitchen. The Deluxe King Suite and the Deluxe Queen Suite include a stovetop, a refrigerator, a microwave and a dining area, and the 33 m² Deluxe King Suite also opens onto a patio with garden views. The Superior King Suite and the King Suite look over the city and have landmark views, while the Executive Suite, at 35 m², has a bath and a spa bath alongside an electric kettle.

Every room has soundproof walls and a minibar. Guests can relax on the terrace or in the open-air bath, and the property has BBQ facilities. Thao Dien is a quiet residential neighbourhood, with cafés and restaurants within a short walk.

The rooms range from a 20 m² single room to two 35 m² suites, and most are suites or studios with a private entrance. Every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproof walls and a minibar, so the differences lie in size, bed, view and kitchen. The Superior King Suite and the King Suite both have landmark and city views, but the Superior King Suite has a bath and a spa bath, while the King Suite has a walk-in shower and a bidet.

The Deluxe King Suite and the Deluxe Queen Suite have kitchens with a stovetop, refrigerator and microwave, and the Deluxe King Studio is the only room with a double bed rather than a king-size bed. The Single Room with Private Bathroom suits one guest, while the Superior Studio at 23 m² has a shower instead of a bath and hardwood floors. The two 35 m² suites offer the most floor space.
