Evie House - Spacious & Cozy Homestay District 1

Evie House is a guest house in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with 36 m² rooms that each have a private bathroom, a kitchen and a balcony. The property was recently renovated and provides free WiFi in the rooms, air conditioning, soundproofing and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. It lies 1.9 km from the city centre and 4.5 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, a practical base for travellers who want to cook for themselves in town.

The four room types are all 36 m² and share the same kitchen fittings: a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. Two of them have a king-size bed for two guests, and the triple rooms add a sofa bed for a third traveller. Some rooms overlook the city or a nearby landmark, so the view depends on which room you book.

Guests praise the host for quick replies and local tips, and check-in is handled remotely with clear instructions. There is no lift, so the stairs are a consideration with heavy luggage. Cafés and restaurants are within 50 m of the door, which keeps breakfast and dinner options close.

Evie House has four room types, all 36 m², and all share the same basics: a private bathroom with a shower, bidet and hairdryer, a balcony, and a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. Each room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and soundproof walls, so the differences between them lie in the bed layout and the view.

The range runs from rooms for two guests with a king-size bed to triple rooms for three, which add a sofa bed beside the king-size bed. The Double Room with Balcony and the Queen Room with Balcony both sleep two, and the Queen Room is the only one with both a landmark view and a city view. The Triple Room with City View has a city outlook, while the Triple Room with Balcony offers the balcony alone.

Inside the rooms you find the practical items for a stay of several days: a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, kitchenware and a dining table, plus a wardrobe or closet, an iron, a fan and a hairdryer. The bathroom has a toilet, shower, bidet, towels and free toiletries.

Shared areas and services are simpler: outdoor furniture, a laundry service, board games and puzzles, and private check-in and check-out. Access to the building is by key card, and the property is non-smoking throughout. The floors are hardwood or parquet, and soundproofing is fitted in the rooms.

For entertainment, the rooms have a flat-screen TV with a streaming service such as Netflix and internet services. WiFi is free of charge in the rooms, while parking is not available at the property. Breakfast is not included, so the cafés on the street fill that role.

Evie House sits on Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm Street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, where cafés, convenience stores and street food stands sit close together. Highlands Coffee, Chunky Cafe and Ikoi Coffee are all 50 m from the door, and Oliu Đỏ 2 and Fat Ape are at the same distance, so breakfast and dinner options are at hand without a long walk. The Vietnam History Museum is 200 m away, and Tiniworld is also 50 m off. The street has a practical, local feel, with cafés and food stalls that residents use, so you can eat well without going far.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 4.5 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.9 km, and since the property has no parking, a taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest way to reach it from either. Ho Chi Minh City Museum is 1.5 km away and the War Remnants Museum 1.6 km, both a short taxi ride from the door. The building has no lift, which matters if you are carrying heavy cases up to the rooms.

On foot, the History Museum of Ho Chi Minh City is 250 m away, and the Chùa Thiện Hạnh pagoda and the Nhà Thờ Phanxicô Đa Kao church are within a few minutes' walk of the same spot. The Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, 400 m away, is a green break from the museums, and Tao Dan Park, 2 km away, is the larger park for a longer morning. Thi Nghe Market, 600 m away, is the place for everyday shopping and a look at local life. The city is hot all year, so the morning is the easiest time to cover the museums and the zoo.
