Your Ride to One of Saigon’s Top Hotels

1. In the Heart of the City, Closer Than You Think

Some travelers spend hours looking for the “perfect place” to stay — somewhere close to the action, yet peaceful enough to rest. But in Saigon, you don’t have to look far.

Right in the middle of District 1, just a short walk from Ben Thanh Market and steps from Saigon’s nightlife, The Rice Hotel stands as one of the city’s most convenient places to arrive — and stay.

And the best part? Getting here is simple, with transportation options available for every travel style and budget.

Nestled in Saigon’s most energetic street, The Rice Hotel is easy to find — and hard to leave

2. From Tan Son Nhat Airport – Fast, Safe, and Stress-Free

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is just 7 kilometers away — making your ride into town smooth and quick.

Here’s how most guests reach The Rice Hotel:

Trusted Taxi
Exit the terminal and look for green (Mai Linh) or white-and-red (Vinasun) taxis. The ride costs about 150,000–200,000 VND ($6–8) and takes 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.

Grab (Ride-Hailing App)
Using Grab is one of the easiest ways to reach the hotel. Book through the app for a clear price and multiple vehicle options. Choose car or motorbike — both are fast and affordable.

Airport Bus for Budget Travelers
Bus 109 or 152 will take you to Ben Thanh Market, from where the hotel is just a 10-minute walk or 3-minute ride away. This option is ideal if you’re traveling light and want to save money.

Whether you choose taxi or Grab, you’ll arrive at The Rice Hotel in less than 30 minutes

3. Arriving by Train or Bus – A City That Connects You

Saigon is well-connected to the rest of Vietnam, and The Rice Hotel is within easy reach of both train and bus stations.

From the Train Station (Ga Sai Gon)
Located in District 3, it’s a 10–15 minute ride by taxi or Grab. It’s the preferred route for travelers arriving from Da Nang, Hue, or Hanoi.

From Mien Dong or Mien Tay Bus Terminals
These stations serve routes from the north and the Mekong Delta. A Grab ride from either station to the hotel takes 30–45 minutes, depending on time of day.

Saigon’s train and bus stations are just a short ride from your hotel in District 1

4. And When You Arrive – The City Is at Your Doorstep

The Rice Hotel isn’t just easy to get to — it’s also the perfect base to explore the city by foot. From your room, you can stroll to:

• Ben Thanh Market

• Bui Vien Walking Street

• Nguyen Hue Walking Street

• Reunification Palace

• Lua Dai Viet seafood restaurants — just downstairs

You don’t need a guidebook. Just step outside and follow the sounds of Saigon.
