L'amour Hotel

L'amour Hotel is a hotel in Go Vap, 6.6 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, where all three double rooms include a private hot tub. The rooms measure 20 to 30 m² and each has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, with free toiletries and slippers provided. Two of them have a view, the largest has a balcony and a spa bath, and the middle room opens onto a terrace.

Guests can relax in the sauna and the hot tub, and the 24-hour front desk and room service are available round the clock. Reception staff speak English and Vietnamese, and bathrobes come with the two larger room types. The hotel suits travellers who value a private hot tub and in-room comforts more than a stay in the city's central streets.

Restaurants are close by: Phở Quê Hương is 100 m away, Bò Bít Tết Steak Việt 150 m and Korean Fast Food Hanuri 200 m. The Công viên Hòa Bình park is 1.2 km away.

L'amour Hotel offers three double room types, all with a large king-size bed for up to two guests and a private bathroom. They range from 20 m² to 30 m² and share the core features: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private hot tub in each room. The layout is the same in every room, so the choice comes down to size and extras.

The differences lie in the bathroom and the outdoor space. The Deluxe King Room, at 20 m², is the most compact, with a bathroom that has a shower. The Deluxe Double Room with Bath, at 25 m², adds a view, a separate bath, a spa bath and a terrace. The Queen Room with Spa Bath is the largest at 30 m², with a balcony, a view and a spa bath, and it is the best choice for more space.

L'amour Hotel's shared facilities centre on relaxation. A sauna and a hot tub are available to guests, and the terrace gives an outdoor place to sit. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, room service is offered, and non-smoking rooms are available throughout the property. Reception staff speak English and Vietnamese.

Inside the rooms, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a telephone and internet services are provided, with a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a clothes rack. The bathroom has a toilet, a bath or shower, towels, slippers, toilet paper and free toiletries, and linen is included; extra towels and sheets cost an additional fee.

Parking is free, with private parking at a location nearby that needs no reservation, and WiFi is free in all areas of the hotel.

The hotel stands on a street in Go Vap, a district of Ho Chi Minh City where the local landmarks are its pagodas, churches and markets rather than the major tourist sights. The Chùa Sắc Tứ Trường Thọ pagoda is 350 m away and the Nhà Thờ Thánh Giuse church is 800 m away, so the first walk from the hotel passes two places of worship. Within about a kilometre, the Nhà Thờ Hòa Bình church is 900 m away and the Công viên Hòa Bình park is 1.2 km away, so the neighbourhood's green spaces are close at hand.

The centre of Ho Chi Minh City is 6.6 km away. The hotel is 3.7 km from the Nga Tu Ga Bus Station and 5.2 km from Saigon Railway Station, the southern terminus of the national rail line, so trips to the main sights take longer than a short walk. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the practical way to reach the centre from here, and it is worth allowing extra time at rush hour, when the main roads slow down. For a longer outing, Crescent Lake is 12.2 km away.

For museums, the Vietnam People's Air Force Museum is 3.4 km away and the War Remnants Museum is 5.7 km, and a taxi can take you between them in a single day of sightseeing. Closer to home, Chợ Gò Vấp market is 1.1 km away, a local market for food and everyday goods, and Gia Dinh Park, at 2 km, is a green space for an evening walk.
