WA Garden Apartment & Hotel

WA Garden Apartment & Hotel is an apartment in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, where every unit has a kitchen, air conditioning and a private bathroom. It suits travellers who want to cook, work or stay several nights in the city centre rather than in a standard hotel room.

The units measure between 25 and 35 m² and come in three layouts. The Studio with Balcony is the largest, with a terrace and city views, while the Studio Apartment has a separate living room with a sofa and a spa bath. Each unit has a flat-screen TV, a dining table and a large king-size bed, and the reception staff speak English, Japanese and Vietnamese.

Shared services include private check-in and check-out, a lift, a concierge service, laundry, luggage storage and family rooms. Guests can sit in the outdoor seating area, and reception is not staffed around the clock, so arrival times are best agreed in advance.

All three accommodation types at WA Garden Apartment & Hotel are self-contained, with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a kitchen equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware. Each has a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a large king-size bed, and each takes up to two guests plus one child, so the units suit couples and small families.

The range differs mainly in size and outlook. The Studio with Balcony, at 35 m², is the largest and the only one with a balcony and a terrace overlooking the city. The Studio Apartment, at 25 m², adds a separate living room with a sofa and a spa bath, while the Standard Studio, also 25 m², is the simplest layout, with outdoor furniture and a landmark view. Choose by the space you need and by how much you value a balcony.

Guests can use private check-in and check-out, a concierge service, luggage storage, express check-in, a lift, laundry and ironing, and a safety deposit box. Family rooms are offered, and pets are accepted on request with no extra charges.

Each unit includes a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware, plus a private bathroom with a bath, free toiletries and a hairdryer. Air conditioning and a minibar come standard, the flat-screen TV offers cable and pay-per-view channels, and the rooms have a sofa, a wardrobe and extra long beds (> 2 metres).

WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge. There is no parking at the property, so plan on arriving by taxi or ride-hailing. Outdoor furniture and a terrace provide space to sit outside.

WA Garden Apartment & Hotel is on Thai Van Lung street in Ben Nghe ward, District 1, among the shops, bars and restaurants of Japan Town that guests mention most often. Japanese Corners is 100 m away, Ton Duc Thang Museum 300 m and the Saigon Opera House 350 m, so the museums and the opera house are a few minutes on foot. Lam Son Park is 350 m away as well, a green space for a break between visits. Dong Khoi and the Nguyen Hue walking street are also in District 1, the historic core of the city.

The airport is 5.4 km away and Saigon Railway Station about 3 km, so most guests arrive by taxi or ride-hailing car, as the property has no parking on site. Bars and restaurants nearby stay open late, so the streets are lively into the evening, which matters for light sleepers. The terrace and outdoor seating area offer a place to sit outside after a day of sightseeing.

For sightseeing, the War Remnants Museum is 1.4 km away, Nha Rong Wharf 1.3 km along the Saigon River and Tao Dan Park 1.5 km, a large park suited to a slower afternoon. Restaurants are close as well: Nhà Hàng Hàn-Nhật, a Korean-Japanese restaurant, is 50 m away, and Nhà Hàng Skewers is just as close. Mornings are the best time for the museums, before the afternoon heat sets in.
