Ruby Star Hotel Nam Quoc Cang

Ruby Star Hotel Nam Quoc Cang is a 2-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, a few hundred metres from the Bui Vien walking street. Its air-conditioned rooms have private bathrooms and, in two of the three room types, city views, and the setting suits travellers who want to stay within walking distance of the bars and restaurants of Phạm Ngũ Lão.

The hotel has three double rooms, from 17 m² in the Standard Double Room to 20 m² in the Superior Double Room and the Deluxe Queen Room. Each has one double bed for up to two guests, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Services include a 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, room service and a lift, and guests can relax on the terrace or in the shared lounge area.

Free WiFi is available in all areas, but there is no parking, so most guests arrive by taxi or ride-hailing car. Guests praise the friendly staff, who help with laundry, taxis and early check-ins, and the walkable setting near markets and supermarkets.

Ruby Star Hotel Nam Quoc Cang has three double rooms, and all of them share the same core equipment: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar, soundproofed walls and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers are provided in every room, and each one has one double bed for up to two guests.

The range is distinguished by size and view. The Standard Double Room is the most compact at 17 m², with a desk and hypoallergenic features, and it has no city view. The Superior Double Room and the Deluxe Queen Room both measure 20 m² and overlook the city, with the Deluxe adding a sofa to its seating area. For a stay with a view and a little more room, choose one of these two.

Ruby Star Hotel Nam Quoc Cang offers free WiFi in all areas, a 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, room service, luggage storage and a lift. The hotel has 24-hour security, CCTV in the common areas, key card access and a soundproofed building, which adds to the sense of a quiet stay behind the busy street.

The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar, a telephone-free desk setup, a wardrobe, a dining table, an electric kettle and a refrigerator. The bathroom has a shower, free toiletries, a hairdryer, towels and slippers, and the floors are hardwood or parquet.

A terrace, a shared lounge with a TV area and a cash machine on site complete the common areas, and the hotel also offers daily housekeeping, fax and photocopying, and express check-in and check-out. There is no parking.

The hotel stands on Nam Quốc Cang street in the Phạm Ngũ Lão area of District 1, a few hundred metres from the Bui Vien walking street, where bars, street stalls and budget hostels fill the evenings. Restaurants are close by: Bánh Cuốn Nóng Minh Minh, Lẩu Dê Tư Trì and Bánh Xèo Bích Liên are each 50 m from the front door, so the first meal of the day is easy to find without going far.

Transport links are close. Bến xe Sài Gòn, the bus station, is 200 m away, so long-distance buses are an easy trip from the hotel. Ben Thanh Station is 1.2 km away and Saigon Railway Station 1.9 km, both a short taxi ride. The hotel has no parking, so most guests arrive by taxi or ride-hailing car.

For sightseeing on foot, start with Thai Binh Market, 200 m away, and Huyện Sỹ Church (St. Philip the Apostle), 150 m away. The Chùa Lâm Tế pagoda is also within a short walk. Tao Dan Park, 850 m from the hotel, is the nearest green space for a shady break between sights. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, 1.3 km away, is a short taxi ride, and Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River is worth a visit for the river views.
