ABOUT
Our Story

Local hosts.
Real Saigon.

We started Saigon Homestay because we believe the best way to experience Ho Chi Minh City is to live like a local — not just pass through it.

📍 District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Why We Started

Hotels give you a room.
We give you a neighbourhood.

Our apartments are in District 1 — steps from Ben Thanh Market, the best coffee shops, rooftop bars, and cultural landmarks. We designed every space with the international traveller in mind.

Whether you’re here for a weekend adventure, a month-long work trip, or figuring out if Saigon is your next home — we’re here to make it easy.

How we build Saigon travel advice

Saigon Homestay is written for visitors who want clear, practical help before they arrive in Ho Chi Minh City. The site focuses on everyday decisions that can make or break a first trip: which area to stay in, how to get from the airport, what local dishes to try, how to plan day trips, and how to avoid common first-timer mistakes.

Our guides are designed around real traveller questions rather than generic destination copy. You will find price ranges, route notes, neighbourhood context, safety tips, and links between related topics so you can plan a complete stay without opening ten tabs. Start with the best areas to stay in Saigon, then compare transport in getting around Saigon and food ideas in the food and drink guides.

The site is independent and editorial in tone. When information changes, especially visa rules, transport routes, airport transfers, and attraction access, our goal is to update the relevant guide so readers can make decisions with current context instead of stale travel advice.
