Nice to meet you. Are you come along? For work, business or travel?

You may want to try agoda.com as I use them in my travels and find the information relevant.

Hi all!!

Next month im coming to Saigon for 2-3 months and  ofcourse a need a place to stay.

First thing i need to know is where to stay (hotel/guesthouse) for the first period of time for a decent price   and the second question is can i rent a room or an apartment for that period of time for lets say 200$ in good neighborhood?

You should try the back packer's area in bui vien, district 1.

Thanks alot guys!

francis - im coming to learn Vietnamese language and culture but it could be good to find a job on the way also if it possible.

Would you like to do and can you do???

I work in the tourist sphere and prefer to stay in that sphere coz i like it alot...

Hi! Where you come from? If you like Vietnam language, I can teach you. For free because I like to learn English too. I live in Sai Gon. Contact me if you need a friend. Nice to see you.

Hi,

Maybe you need to see the map where you are going to stay (in which street or district of city?)
with 200$/month you can find a suitable room, fairly difficult for an apartment.

nice day!

Pls. be careful, you can't just trust anyone here.

Greetings and welcome.  Saigon is a wonderful place to live. Shared accomodations from $100 to $300 per month.  The western appartments in D1 are expensive.  D7 a nice 1 bedroom will be $300 - $400 per month. I rent a studio in D3 for $200 a month on a monthly basis.  Most places want 6-12 month lease with 2 months security deposite.  There are nice rooms on a month to month.  (All prices in usd)

Which places are friendly for foreigners? I saw here that almost all the foreigners are talking about D7 and D1 as foregners friendly and didnt see anything about the rest of Saigon

Its just i read lots of stories about people getting robed.. is it really like that?

I prefer people getting unrobed!!

sorry.. robbed

Welcome you to Ho Chi Minh. Alomost of People in there is nice. You can rent a room with 200$. If you need,I will help you to find one. I can guide you to free. My email is uyen0805@gmail.com

tnx Uyen!

Was staying at D1 during my stay in HCMC.
I found that area has easy access to go around.
But i was staying there for short period only, less than 2months so don't know much about the other area. Only know D1, D7 and lush (which also in D1)
Maybe you can try Bui Vien st. at D1?
Good luck!

Hi,

Bui Vien area is the place where was a lot of foreigner living.
It is good place for start discovering Saigon.
After that you go to D3 (near D1), D7,D2 where foreigner also go.
Then after 2 months to get know people and culture by making friend and ask for their experience, you may know where to live next in saigon.

welcome to Saigon and goodluck!
Cheers
