Cao Gia Hải

Cao Gia Hải is a 2-star hotel in Go Vap, Ho Chi Minh City, 6.9 km from the city centre, with air-conditioned rooms that all come with a private bathroom, free toiletries and a flat-screen TV. It suits travellers who want a simple, practical base with cafés and a pagoda within easy walking distance.

The hotel has three rooms: two Double Rooms of 20 m² with one large bed each, and a 25 m² Quadruple Room with two large beds for up to four people. Shared facilities include a lift, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing service, and a shared lounge and TV area. Free private parking is available on site, and a paid airport shuttle service is offered.

Some guests find aircraft noise and sounds from neighbouring rooms disruptive, as the soundproofing is not always effective, so light sleepers should weigh this up. Several cafés and restaurants sit within 50 m, and the Chùa Sắc Tứ Trường Thọ pagoda is 500 m away, so you can walk to the neighbourhood's everyday essentials.

Cao Gia Hải offers three rooms in two categories. Two Double Rooms, each 20 m², have one large bed and suit a couple or a solo traveller who wants a compact room with everything at hand. The Quadruple Room is the largest option at 25 m² and has two large beds, so it takes up to four people and is the natural choice for a small group or a family.

All three rooms share the same bathroom set-up: a private bathroom with a shower, a bidet and a hairdryer, plus free toiletries and towels. Each room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, a wardrobe and an electric kettle, with hardwood or parquet floors underfoot. The sleeping arrangement is the main difference between the rooms, so the choice comes down to party size and how much floor space you want.

Shared facilities are practical. Guests can use the 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing service, and a shared lounge and TV area, and the lift serves the upper floors. The building has 24-hour security and CCTV in its common areas, and family rooms, designated smoking areas and non-smoking rooms are all available.

Free private parking is available on site, and reservation is not needed, so you can drive in without arranging a space in advance. Free WiFi covers the public areas of the hotel. A paid airport shuttle service is also offered.

The rooms add a telephone, a flat-screen TV, internet services, a desk, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a wardrobe and a clothes rack. The private bathroom has a shower, a bidet, a toilet, towels, slippers, toilet paper, a hairdryer and free toiletries. Air conditioning and parquet or hardwood floors complete the set.

Cao Gia Hải stands in Go Vap, a residential district of Ho Chi Minh City, 6.9 km from the city centre. The surrounding streets are mostly homes, small shops and eateries, so the area is more about everyday Saigon life than sightseeing. Within a short walk is Chùa Sắc Tứ Trường Thọ, a Buddhist pagoda 500 m away, and Công viên Hòa Bình is a park 1.3 km off for a relaxed walk.

Getting around means combining bus, taxi and ride-hailing rides. Nga Tu Ga Bus Station is 3.3 km away, Bến xe Miền Đông bus station 3.7 km, and Bình Triệu train station 3.7 km, while Saigon Railway Station is 5.6 km. For the airport the hotel's paid shuttle is the most straightforward option, and free private parking is on site so you do not need a reservation to use it.

For sightseeing the centre is a longer trip. The Vietnam History Museum is 5.5 km away, the War Remnants Museum 6 km, and the Ho Chi Minh City Museum and Tao Dan Park 6.6 km each. Zoo and Botanical Garden Ho Chi Minh is 5.7 km away. Ho Chi Minh City's traffic makes the longer trips slower than the distance suggests, so allow extra time for them. Plan these as half-day outings, and keep the morning for closer spots such as Gia Dinh Park at 2.4 km or the markets Chợ Gò Vấp (1.2 km) and Chợ An Nhơn (1.1 km).
