Janus Hotel 168

Janus Hotel 168 is a 1-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with rooms that range from 12 m² to 20 m². It suits travellers who want a simple base for exploring the city centre on foot or by bicycle, and families who need three large beds in one room.

The rooms are practical rather than fancy. Most have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle and a wardrobe, and the Double Room and the Suite with City View each have their own private bathroom. Free WiFi covers all areas of the property, and the hotel offers a lift, a 24-hour front desk, room service and bicycle rental, so late arrivals and day trips by bike are easy to manage.

Ben Thanh Station is about 1 km away, Saigon Railway Station 2.2 km and Tan Son Nhat International Airport 5.4 km, and Thai Binh Market is only 100 m from the hotel. There is no parking, so guests arriving by car need to arrange a taxi or ride-hailing car. For the nearer sights, a bicycle or a walk is enough.

Janus Hotel 168 has four room types, running from a 12 m² Double Room to a 20 m² Standard Family Room. The Double Room is the most compact and has its own private bathroom, a private entrance and a seating area with a flat-screen TV. The Triple Room with City View, at 16 m², sleeps up to three with a single bed and a double bed, and its view is the feature that sets it apart.

The Standard Family Room, at 20 m², has three large beds and sleeps up to six guests. Most rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle and a wardrobe, so the choice comes down to size, view and bathroom. The Suite with City View has a large king-size bed, a private bathroom and a city view, for up to two guests.

The facilities are practical rather than extensive. WiFi is free throughout the property, internet services are offered as well, and the hotel has a lift and a 24-hour front desk, so late arrivals are straightforward. Room service and dry cleaning are available, and bicycle rental lets you cover the district at your own pace.

CCTV covers the common areas, and air conditioning runs through the rooms. Breakfast is not part of the room rate, and the nearest places to eat are cafés and restaurants about 50 m away, including Tap Out Vietnam, G5 Restaurant & Lounge and Bánh Mì Anh Phán.

Parking is not available at the property, so guests arriving by car should arrange a taxi or ride-hailing car. Dry cleaning is also offered on site, and the 24-hour front desk means that help is available at any hour.
