    There was only one double power outlet in the room and one of the outlets was not working. I always bring a multi-outlet power strip with me so i could plug in the fridge, kettle and charger. The room was clean but an undertone of ancient cigarette smell was lurking. I really dislike that smell but found this at a tolerable level. At times, the bathroom air vent would channel cigarette smoke from the family home below and stink up the bathroom but i closed the door and eventually it went away.

    The young lady at reception was so helpful. She carried my big luggage up the front stairs and gave me a room on the first floor. The AC, refridgerator, kettle, hot shower water was all good. The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Cold drinks are available to buy at reception. The Hotel is a street over from Walking Street but it's in a quiet area.

    I stayed in two different rooms, on one side of the hotel is very quiet on the other side you can hear a bit music and drunk people from the road below, it is close to Bui Vien so this is normal, if you're able to get a room on the quiet side you'll lose out on a huge window. So it's up to you

    The location is good, the hotel is basic but welll equipped, it's clean and the staff are friendly, laundry can be done for a small fee. Theres a TV and small fridge in every room. I would definitely stay, as it's close enough but not too close to the craziness. One great thing there's no loud drunk backpacker kids

    - This is not the property's fault, but Google has put the wrong address for this hotel. If you need help finding the hotel, try googling "New Delhi Restaurant". That is the address for the restaurant next door. And then you will find it. - This is very normal in most places in Vietnam, especially in older buildings, but you might see ants in your room. I don't care because they are very small and I can see only maybe 2-5 ants in my room at one time. They are not a problem and they will not bother you. But if you are very scared of insects, you need to look for a more expensive hotel. I still recommend staying here, but I just wanted to let you know. - Again, this is not a problem to me. But sometimes the kids who live downstairs can get loud. This is normal and I do not think it's a problem at all. But if your worst nightmare is waking up because of children screaming, this is not for you. Children are loud and that is okay. But if you don't like it, find somewhere else. - The building is old, so the rooms are a little old. That is okay. But just remember that this is not a luxury hotel. I am very happy I came to Marieline Hotel 1. I recommend you to stay.

    Staff: Staff are very friendly and welcoming. They even helped me pay for a taxi when I had lost my wallet and had to pay the driver. Not everyone speaks English, but they try to help you anyway or they will find someone who can. Using a translation app can help if no English speakers are available. They are family people, so there are kids around and it shows that these are good and nice people. The hotel room: Keep in mind that the buildings in D1 are older, so the rooms are a little old too. For the price you are paying, you will not get a hotel that is in perfect shape. But they keep things clean and the rooms are nice. Air-conditioner is good. And there is a small fridge that is empty, so bring your own water. Ask reception for cutlery if you need it. The water for the shower gets hot, so no problems there. And my room was quiet, maybe because I booked a room with no windows. I could barely hear the noise from outside at all. It was very nice. Sometimes the kids are loud when they are playing, but I don't mind. That's what kids are supposed to be like. Facilities, services: Room service will clean and change the sheets for you if you hang the sign on the door. And they offer a laundry service where you pay a small amount per kilogram. They kept all my clothes nice and clean. Wi-Fi is good and fast. The reception offers mobile plans, guided tour packages and other things that tourists might enjoy. Final thoughts: This is a hotel that's good for the price. It's got everything you need for a trip to HCMC. The people here are nice, the rooms are good and the location is excellent because it is located close to everything you need in District 1. I recommend everyone to stay here if you just need a place to stay, shower, sleep and relax before going out. It is a perfectly okay hotel, but I still really enjoyed my time here.

    Cramped small room. Could not even sit properly on toilet. Tv did not work. Reviews said how good staff were etc but it did not match those reviews in our experience. Staff could not speak a word of English and one women very strange and unhelpful. They did washing got free but ruined clothes with bleach stains. I would not recomend this place.

    Quiet side alley Close to backpackers St,close to tour info and buses.30min from airport.

    Room is small but cozy and comfortable enough. As well as we stayed only for one night for us it was very good choice.

    Location is superb, hostess is very very helpful and kind - she helped us on the check out.

    The room smells cigarets and its a nonsmoking room. So many ants too, i just placed my snack on the desk and it wast attacked by ants…. I hope they will do some pest control.

    Location is very accessible . Easy to go around the city. Near to restaurants.
