Olie Home

Olie Home is a hotel in Tan Phu, 9.6 km from the city centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that combine private bathrooms with balconies or garden views. Each room has a work desk, a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle and free toiletries, so you can settle in comfortably for a stay of a few nights.

The hotel has several outdoor spaces. Guests can relax in the garden or on the terrace, and the property has a water park. Room service is offered for those who prefer to stay in their room, and the reception team speaks English and Vietnamese. The property is non-smoking throughout.

Free WiFi covers the whole property, and the combination of a garden, a terrace and a water park makes it a comfortable place to return to after a day out in the city. It suits couples and solo travellers best, since every room sleeps two guests. Rooms with a balcony are the ones to ask for if you like to sit outside, while the plain rooms keep the same bed, bathroom and air conditioning.

Olie Home has six room types, each for two guests and each with one large bed (King size). The range comes in three families, the Deluxe Double Room, the King Room and the Queen Room, and every family has a plain version and a version with a balcony. All the rooms are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom, and the usual in-room items are a work desk, a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle and free toiletries.

The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is the choice for a view: it adds a garden outlook to the balcony and comes with a desk and a flat-screen TV. The plain rooms suit guests who do not need outdoor space. Whichever you choose, the sleeping arrangement and bathroom stay the same, so the decision comes down to the balcony and the view.

The facilities at Olie Home are practical and centred on the outdoors and the rooms. Free private parking is available on site, and no reservation is needed. Free WiFi is available in all areas of the property, and internet services are also offered for guests who need a connection.

Outdoor life centres on the garden and the terrace, where guests can relax, and on the water park, which is among the property's leisure facilities. Room service is offered for guests who prefer to stay in their room. Air conditioning is part of the standard room equipment, and the property is non-smoking throughout.

There is no restaurant among the facilities, so meals come from room service or from the eateries and cafés within about 150 m of the hotel, and the cafés are even closer.

Olie Home is on S3 street in Tan Phu, a largely residential district of Ho Chi Minh City where houses sit alongside small shops and local markets. The nearest market is Chợ Sơn Kỳ, 750 m away, and the Công viên Sơn Kỳ park is 1.1 km off, with the Đình Tân Sơn Nhì communal temple 1.5 km away. Tiny World Aeon Mall is 1.2 km away, for a visit combined with shopping at the mall.

Getting here is simple by road. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 1.5 km from the hotel, which is useful for early or late flights, and Saigon Railway Station is 7.2 km away. The Bến xe Tân Phú bus station is 1.5 km away for onward coaches. Parking on site is free and private, and it needs no reservation, so driving or taking a taxi to the entrance is the easiest way to arrive.

For sightseeing, the Địa Đạo Phú Thọ Hòa tunnels are 3.3 km away and the Chùa Tường Quang and Chùa Bửu Lâm pagodas are about 2 km off, so a half-day trip to the tunnels and the pagodas is an easy start from Tan Phu. The central sights are further out: Tao Dan Park is 9 km away and the War Remnants Museum 8.7 km, so you will need a taxi or a ride-hailing app for a day in the centre.
