| *Please note that the links below represent the higher end housing in Vietnam as they are online. Many great and affordable housing units are available all over the city for as low as 4 dollars a day. If you are a backpacking traveller, incoming teacher, or looking for long term housing - go to Our Forum and just ask someone. Bui Vien, HCMC has a lot of side street hotels at super low prices and are pretty good for the casual visitor or new arrival. The Lonely Planet guide has some also, but it only covers a fraction of the real Vietnam. Word of mouth is much better in this category unless you are a traveller who will only be in Vietnam for Tourism. Fully furnished 3-4 story houses can be found for 4-500$ a month if you look around.* |
