MAIAM Homestay

MAIAM Homestay is a homestay in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, on a small alley off Lê Thị Riêng street, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and, in several rooms, a balcony over a quiet street. It suits travellers who want to explore the district on foot, with markets, temples and cafés close by, and who prefer a small property to a large hotel. The airport is 5.1 km away.

The 18 m² and 22 m² rooms share the core equipment: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and a private bathroom with a shower, bidet and hairdryer. The 22 m² rooms are the ones with a balcony, and one of them has a bath alongside the shower. Guests share a kitchen and can use the outdoor furniture, while the property has a lift and offers luggage storage. Bicycle rental, car hire and a paid airport shuttle are available.

Within a short walk are Huyện Sỹ Church (150 m), Thai Binh Market (350 m), the Hakka Thien Hau Temple (400 m) and September 23 Park (450 m). Ben Thanh Market and the War Remnants Museum are also nearby, and Saigon Railway Station is 1.9 km away. Free WiFi covers all areas of the property.

MAIAM Homestay has eight room types, and every one has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom and one large king-size bed. The rooms come in two sizes: 18 m² rooms, of which one sleeps three and the others two, and 22 m² rooms, which all sleep up to three guests. The range therefore suits couples, solo travellers and small families alike.

Balcony rooms form the main choice: four 22 m² rooms, three Deluxe Double Rooms with Balcony and one Double Room with Balcony, look out over a quiet street from a private balcony. One of the Deluxe rooms with balcony has a bath as well as a shower. The Budget Double Room is the simplest layout, with a street view but no balcony, and the Deluxe Queen Room shares the 18 m² layout and fittings of the Deluxe Double Room.

MAIAM Homestay's practical services focus on arrival and departure. Private check-in and check-out and express check-in and check-out are offered, and luggage can be stored. A paid airport shuttle is available, bicycle rental and car hire can be arranged, and daily housekeeping and laundry are on offer. A lift serves the building.

Shared spaces include outdoor furniture, board games and puzzles, and the lift. Pub crawls are also offered, and the property is non-smoking throughout. Ironing facilities and air conditioning are available too.

In the rooms, free toiletries, towels, slippers and a hairdryer are provided, and extra towels or sheets are charged separately. A shared kitchen, an electric kettle, a clothes rack and seating areas complete the in-room basics, and free WiFi covers all areas of the property.

MAIAM Homestay is on a small alley off Lê Thị Riêng street in District 1, the central part of Ho Chi Minh City, where the streets around it are lined with small shops and eateries.

The transport links are close. The Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 250 m from the property, Ben Thanh Station 900 m, and Saigon Railway Station 1.9 km. Tan Son Nhat International Airport lies 5.1 km away, so a taxi or the paid airport shuttle covers the trip.
