KEN 2 HOTEL

KEN 2 HOTEL is a 2-star hotel in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, with three room types, two of which include a sauna. It suits travellers who want an air-conditioned room with a private bathroom and a simple, well-equipped base in the city, and who value a 24-hour front desk and room service. Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, so the choice comes down to size and extras.

Room sizes run from 16 m² in the Standard Double Room, with a shower, a bidet and a hairdryer, to 20 m² in the Superior Double Room, which has a balcony, a terrace and a sauna. The largest is the 25 m² Suite, with a separate living room, a separate bedroom, a bathroom with a bath and a terrace with city views.

The hotel is about 3.2 km from the city centre, and parking is public and on site: a reservation is needed, and it costs VND 50,000 per day. The front desk is open 24 hours a day.

The three room types at KEN 2 HOTEL share a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, and each is for up to two guests. The simplest option is the Standard Double Room, a 16 m² room with one double bed, a shower, a bidet and a hairdryer, and the most compact of the range.

The Superior Double Room, at 20 m², adds a balcony, a terrace with a view and a sauna, while the 25 m² Suite is the largest choice, with a separate living room, a separate bedroom with a double bed, a bath and a terrace with city views, and a sauna too. If you are travelling as a couple and want more room to spread out, the Suite is the one to choose.

A 24-hour front desk is open at KEN 2 HOTEL, and room service is available. The facilities include a sauna and a hot tub, so you can relax after a day out. Non-smoking rooms are offered, and every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator.

Parking is public and on site: a reservation is needed, and the fee is VND 50,000 per day. No restaurant or bar is among the hotel's facilities, so meals are taken outside, and cafés and restaurants are a short walk away.

Inside the bathroom you will find bathrobes, free toiletries, slippers, towels, a hairdryer, a bidet and an additional toilet. The Superior Double Room and the Suite both have a sauna in the room, and the rooms with a terrace or balcony give you space to sit outdoors.

KEN 2 HOTEL is on Sư Vạn Hạnh street in District 10, a residential district with small parks and neighbourhood markets, about 3.2 km from the city centre. The nearest green space is Công Viên Hồ Kỳ Hoà park, 300 m away, and the FITO Museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine and the Chọ mini market are each 400 m away. Small cafés and food stalls are a short walk from the hotel, so meals outside are easy to find, and the park makes an easy first stop on a walk through the neighbourhood.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 3.5 km away and Saigon Railway Station 1.3 km away. The Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Vĩnh Viễn bus station is 1.2 km away and the Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station 2.3 km, so most trips to these hubs are short taxi rides. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the usual way to cover the last stretch from these hubs to the hotel.

For sightseeing on foot, the Chùa Phước Hải pagoda is 800 m away and the Chợ thuốc Quận 10 medicine market 700 m away, and both give a good sense of everyday neighbourhood life, a different side of the city from the central sights. Further into the city, the War Remnants Museum and Tao Dan Park are each 2.6 km from the hotel. Taking a taxi to the centre is the simplest option for the longer trips.
