The Fifth Home Thao Dien

The Fifth Home Thao Dien is an aparthotel in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, 5.9 km from the city centre, with self-contained apartments of 90 m² and 140 m² that overlook the city. Each apartment has a separate living room, a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator and microwave, and air conditioning, so it suits a family or a small group that wants more room than a standard hotel room gives.

Most bedrooms have private bathrooms, several with a walk-in shower and a bath, and most units have a balcony or terrace. Most also have a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a washing machine and soundproof walls, and the three-bedroom apartments add a third bedroom for up to eight guests.

On site you will find a sun terrace, a fitness room, a lounge, outdoor seating and a minimarket, with a coffee house and room service. Free private parking is possible on site with a reservation, and the property offers an airport shuttle. The building has a lift and 24-hour security.

The Fifth Home has five apartment types, and each has a living room with a sofa bed. The two-bedroom apartments measure 90 m² and sleep up to six guests, while the three-bedroom apartments measure 140 m² and sleep up to eight. The kitchens are well fitted, with a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, microwave and electric kettle, and most units include a washing machine and cleaning products.

Bathrooms are private, and many bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom, although not every bedroom does. Most apartments are air-conditioned and soundproofed, and most have city views, balconies or terraces. The apartments differ mainly in size, number of bedrooms and whether a balcony is included, so compare the bed layout and the number of bathrooms before you choose.

Parking is free and private on site, but a reservation is needed. WiFi is available in the rooms at no charge, and internet services are offered. Pets are allowed on request, and charges may apply. The building has a lift and 24-hour security, and an airport shuttle as well as a general shuttle service are offered.

For practical needs, the property offers laundry and ironing service, private and express check-in and check-out, and soundproof rooms.

The property stands on Nguyễn Văn Hưởng street in Thao Dien, a residential neighbourhood on the east bank of the Saigon River that has long been home to many expatriate families.
