About
Ahu Hotel & Apartment
Ahu Hotel & Apartment sits on a small lane off Pham Ngu Lao, the backpacker artery of Ho Chi Minh City. With just 13 rooms, it's a compact operation that trades on its position: Bui Vien Street is about a 10-minute walk away, and Cong Vien Van Hoa Park is roughly 800 metres from the door.
The hotel keeps things simple — a shared lounge, a sun terrace, a terrace bar and a snack bar cover the common areas. Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and kettles, and the higher-tier Penthouse Apartment adds a balcony and bathtub. It's a practical base for exploring the city on foot, not a resort.
