168 Hotel

168 Hotel is a city hotel in Binh Tan, 9.7 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and city views. The rooms come in four types, from a 15 m² Superior Double Room to a Quadruple Room with two large beds, and each one has a desk, a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Balconies look out over the city in three of them.

A 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, room service, laundry, an ironing service and luggage storage are on hand, and a lift serves the upper floors. Private check-in and check-out are offered, and the reception staff speak English and Vietnamese. Free WiFi is available in the public areas, and a paid airport shuttle can be arranged.

The hotel suits travellers who want a comfortable base in a quieter residential district rather than the old centre, and families or small groups, since the Quadruple Room sleeps up to four. It has facilities for disabled guests, and guests who drive can use the free public parking on site.

168 Hotel has four room types, all with air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower and bidet, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and city views. Their floor areas run from 15 m² to 20 m², and each room has at least one large king-size bed, with two in the Quadruple Room. Every room comes with towels, slippers, free toiletries and a hairdryer.

The differences lie in the balcony and the size. The Double Room and the Quadruple Room are the largest at 20 m², and the Double Room has no balcony, while the Superior Double Room at 15 m² and the Deluxe Double Room at 18 m² both have one. The Quadruple Room is the choice for families or small groups: it has two king-size beds, sleeps up to four and allows up to two children.

Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, and the hotel offers private check-in and check-out, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, laundry, an ironing service and room service. A lift serves the upper floors, and the building has CCTV in its common areas and outside, a key card access system and 24-hour security.

For getting around, the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle and car hire, and free public parking is possible on site without a reservation. Free WiFi is available in the public areas. Facilities for disabled guests include wheelchair accessibility, auditory guidance and upper floors reachable by elevator, and family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available.

Inside the rooms you find a private bathroom with a shower and bidet, free toiletries and a hairdryer, plus a wardrobe, a desk, a seating area, a refrigerator and an electric kettle. A flat-screen TV and internet services complete the room.

168 Hotel stands on Đường Vành Đai Trong in Binh Tan, a largely residential district in the west of Ho Chi Minh City. Hue Nghiem Pagoda is 150 m away and Chùa Nam Tông 400 m, both easy to reach on foot. For a quick coffee or a meal, Coffee Mộc 89 is 100 m away and the Lotteria restaurant at Aeon Bình Tân 150 m, so the eating options around the hotel are simple and close.

Bến xe Miền Tây, the long-distance bus station serving the Mekong Delta, is 550 m away, so coach travellers can reach the hotel on foot or by a short taxi ride. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 7.4 km away and Saigon Railway Station 8.1 km, and the city centre lies 9.7 km from the hotel. Arrivals by air or train need a taxi or the paid airport shuttle for the last part of the journey, while the bus station is close enough for a walk.

Chợ An Lạc market is 600 m away and Phu Lam Park 1.2 km, both close by for a morning walk. The city's museums are further out: the War Remnants Museum is 9.4 km away and the Fine Arts Museum 9.7 km, so they are better reached by taxi. In the evening, the karaoke venues and cafés near the hotel are a few minutes' walk away.
