Luas Cosy Home - The Cosy Chinatown Hideaway

Luas Cosy Home - The Cosy Chinatown Hideaway is a homestay in Cho Lon, 4.5 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that have balconies and private bathrooms. It suits travellers who want to stay in the old Chinese quarter rather than in the central districts, and who plan to spend most of their days out exploring the city. Cho Lon is known for its Chinese temples, assembly halls and markets, several of which are within a few hundred metres.

The main room is a 20 m² deluxe double room with a large king-size bed and a sofa bed, a balcony with a city view, soundproofing and a private bathroom with a shower. It also has a desk, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and free toiletries.

The homestay also offers a terrace, bike tours, room service and ironing facilities, and WiFi in the rooms is free of charge. The property is non-smoking throughout, with hardwood or parquet floors. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.6 km away.

The homestay's room range is built around one deluxe double room with a balcony. It measures 20 m² and combines a large king-size bed with a sofa bed, which suits two adults. The balcony has a city view, and the room is air-conditioned and soundproofed, with a private bathroom equipped with a shower.

Essentials are included in the room: free toiletries, a hairdryer, slippers, towels, a desk, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a microwave, plus a clothes rack and a socket near the bed. Extra towels or sheets carry a fee. Because the room has its own balcony and bathroom, it works as a private base after a day out in the city. Family rooms, a terrace and free WiFi in the rooms complete the homestay's range.

Most of the facilities are inside the room itself. The room includes air conditioning, soundproofing, a balcony, a private bathroom with a shower and toilet, and free toiletries, towels, slippers and a hairdryer. A desk, a sofa, a clothes rack, an electric kettle, a microwave and a refrigerator complete the room.

Shared facilities and services include a terrace, bike tours, room service and ironing facilities, and express or private check-in and check-out. The homestay has key card access, CCTV in the common areas, a security alarm, and hardwood or parquet floors, and it is non-smoking throughout. Internet services are also offered.

WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge. There is no parking available, so arrivals by car or motorbike need to plan their parking elsewhere. Breakfast is not part of the stay, but several cafés and restaurants stand within 100 m of the property.

Luas Cosy Home sits in Cho Lon, the old Chinese quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, in District 5, about 4.5 km from the city centre. The name Chợ Lớn means big market in Vietnamese, and the streets nearby hold assembly halls, temples and markets: the Hội quán Nghĩa An temple is 50 m away, the Chợ Xã Tây market 200 m and the Tịnh xá Quan Âm pagoda 400 m. Dim sum shops and cafés, among them Điểm Tâm 259, Coffee Soc and Laha Café, stand close by.

For longer journeys, the Chợ Lớn bus station is 1.1 km away, Saigon Railway Station is 3.5 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.6 km away. A taxi is the simplest way to reach the homestay from any of these points. Near the homestay, the temples and markets can be reached on foot, so you can plan much of your day without a vehicle.

Combine the Hội quán Nghĩa An temple and the Tịnh xá Quan Âm pagoda with a walk through the Chợ Xã Tây market. Nha Van Hoa Q5, the district culture house, is 500 m away, and Van Lang Park, 700 m away, is a green place to rest between visits. Farther afield, the FITO Museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine is 2.7 km away and the War Remnants Museum, which covers the Vietnam War, is 4.3 km away.
