Description

Happy Chubby Homestay is a homestay in Cho Lon, 4.5 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms from a single room to a 38 m² family room. It stands on Triệu Quang Phục street in District 5, in the old Chinese quarter, where a temple, a market and several cafés are within a few hundred metres.

The two double rooms, of 22 and 23 m², each have a private bathroom, soundproofing and views over the city or the inner courtyard, and the double with a balcony adds a terrace. The family room sleeps up to four guests in two extra-large super-king beds, and the single room is for one traveller. Guests share a sun terrace, a garden and a kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, electric kettle and kitchenware.

Private check-in and check-out, a concierge service and luggage storage help with arrivals and departures, and laundry is available. There is no parking at the property and no breakfast is offered, so the cafés and eateries 50 to 100 m away cover that need. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00 and check-out is by 11:00.
