Rooms

4 room types · 16–30 m²

Saigon Amigo Hotel has four room types, from a 16 m² Standard Double Room to 30 m² family and deluxe rooms. All are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom, free toiletries, towels and a flat-screen satellite TV, with a minibar in each. Bed set-ups range from one king-size bed to a single bed combined with a double or king-size bed, so the range covers couples and families of three.

The Standard Double Room is the smallest and has no window, which suits a couple on a short stay. The Superior Triple Room, at 25 m², has a window, a single bed and a double bed for three guests.
