Cat Cat Boutique Hotel By 9 Inn

Cat Cat Boutique Hotel By 9 Inn is a hotel in Thao Dien, 5.1 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, where every room has its own kitchen and a city view. Room sizes run from 18 to 49 m², and two of the four types add a balcony or terrace, so the choice works for couples, friends and families alike.

Each room comes with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and a private bathroom, and the kitchens are fitted with a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle and washing machine. That makes the hotel practical for longer stays, when you would rather cook at home than eat out every night. The property also has a spa and wellness centre, a sauna, a fitness centre and a terrace, so there is plenty to do on site.

Asian breakfast is served daily, and the 24-hour front desk and room service complete the day-to-day service. The setting is a residential district across the Saigon River from the city centre, where cafés and small restaurants are close at hand.

All four room types have a private bathroom, a kitchen, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and a view over the city. The Standard Double Room, at 18 m², is the most compact, with a large king-size bed and a shower. The Double Room with Balcony, at 29 m², adds a balcony and a terrace over the city. The Deluxe Twin Room, at 39 m², has two single beds and a bath, and the Deluxe King Room, at 49 m², is the largest, with a balcony, a terrace and a bath.

Every room includes free toiletries and a bathrobe, and the kitchens are fitted with a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle and washing machine. That makes the range practical for families and longer stays. Choose the smaller rooms for a short visit, and the Deluxe rooms if you want a bath and more floor space.

The shared facilities centre on a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and room service, with a terrace, a spa and wellness centre, a sauna and a fitness centre for after a day out. Free private parking is available on site, and reservation is not needed. The property is non-smoking throughout, and a carbon monoxide detector is fitted.

Inside the rooms, the kitchens come with kitchenware, a refrigerator, a microwave, an electric kettle and a washing machine, so you can cook for yourself. Each bathroom has towels, slippers, free toiletries, a bathrobe and a hairdryer, and the rooms have a dining table, a desk and a wardrobe or closet. The flat-screen TV has cable channels.

WiFi is available in all areas and is free of charge, and family rooms are part of the offer, with air conditioning in each room.

Cat Cat Boutique Hotel By 9 Inn stands on Quốc Hương street in Thao Dien, a residential district on the opposite bank of the Saigon River from the city centre. Thao Dien train station is 250 m away, and the Công viên dạ cầu Sài Gòn park is 350 m from the hotel, with the Tịnh thất An Hòa pagoda also 350 m away. The Chợ Thảo Điền market is within a short walk, as is the Bến Thảo Điền ferry landing, which is 550 m away. Thao Dien is an expatriate area, and the cafés and restaurants on the streets around the hotel reflect that.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport and Saigon Railway Station are each 6.4 km away, and the city centre is 5.1 km. The Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Hàng Xanh bus station is 1.6 km from the hotel. Because the district lies across the river from the centre, most trips into town are easiest by taxi or car, while the station, the ferry landing and the market are places you can reach on foot.

For sights further afield, the Vietnam History Museum is 3.4 km away and the War Remnants Museum is 5.1 km away. Closer to home, the Quang San Art Museum is 1.7 km away, and Just Kidding Amusement is 150 m from the hotel, a practical stop for a stay with children. The Vietnam History Museum and the War Remnants Museum are two of the best-known sights on the list, so they make a natural first day out from this side of the river.
