Tan Hoang Long Hotel

Tan Hoang Long Hotel is a hotel in Cho Lon, District 5, 2.2 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that each have a private bathroom. It suits travellers who want a practical base in the old Chinese quarter, with a lift and a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals and early departures.

The rooms come in three types: the Standard Queen Room (20 m²), the Deluxe Queen Room (25 m²) and the Triple Room (30 m²), which has a single bed alongside a large bed and sleeps up to three guests. Each room has a flat-screen TV, a desk, a refrigerator and free toiletries, and family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available. The hotel also has 24-hour security and CCTV in the common areas.

Guests tend to praise the friendly, attentive staff, the central position close to places to eat, and the value for money for short stays. The main sights are close by: Chùa Long An pagoda is 100 m away and Chợ Nancy market 250 m, while the War Remnants Museum is 2.5 km away.

Tan Hoang Long Hotel offers three room types, all with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer, slippers and free toiletries. The range runs from double rooms for two guests to a triple room, so it suits couples, solo travellers and small families alike. Sizes rise step by step, from 20 m² in the Standard Queen Room to 25 m² in the Deluxe Queen Room and 30 m² in the Triple Room.

The rooms share the same basic equipment, including a desk, towels, linen, a socket near the bed and a tiled floor, so the difference lies mainly in space and beds. The two Queen rooms each have one large bed for two guests, while the Triple Room adds a single bed next to the large bed and suits a group of three, such as a family of three.

The shared areas are straightforward. A lift serves the building, the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, and 24-hour security covers the property, with CCTV in the common areas, a security alarm and a wake-up service. Fans sit alongside the air conditioning in the rooms.

Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, a toilet, towels, free toiletries, toilet paper, slippers and a hairdryer, while the room equipment includes a refrigerator, a desk, linen and a tiled or marble floor. Free WiFi is available in the rooms at no charge.

Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are on offer, and a designated smoking area is provided. Guests can also use internet services and a telephone. There is no parking available at the property.
