Glenwood Suites

Glenwood Suites is an apartment in Thao Dien, 5.4 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with self-contained units that have a kitchen, a private bathroom and air conditioning. Each apartment has a dining area, a work desk and soundproofed walls, and the units are fitted with a washing machine, so you can manage meals and laundry on your own schedule.

The apartments range from 46 m² to 90 m², and the largest sleeps up to six guests. The property has a fitness centre, a terrace, a hot tub, luggage storage and 24-hour security, and family rooms are among the accommodation types. Reception staff speak English and Vietnamese, which makes arrival and questions about the neighbourhood straightforward.

Thao Dien is an expatriate residential area, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 6.2 km away, with an airport shuttle offered. Free parking is available on site with a reservation, and free WiFi is offered in the public areas. The property suits guests who want a self-contained base with their own kitchen rather than a hotel with a restaurant on site.

Glenwood Suites offers three apartment types, all air-conditioned, with a kitchen, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a washing machine and soundproofed walls. Every apartment has its own bathroom and a dining area, so the choice comes down to size and how many people are sleeping. The One-Bedroom Apartment is the most compact, at 46 m², with one large bed (King size) for two guests.

The Two-Bedroom Apartment covers 75 m² and has two separate bedrooms, each with a large bed (King size), and it sleeps up to four. Its bathroom has a walk-in shower as well as a bath. The Three-Bedroom Apartment, at 90 m², has three large beds (King size) and sleeps up to six, making it the option for the largest group. All three have a seating area, and the kitchens include a refrigerator, microwave, toaster and electric kettle.

Glenwood Suites offers a set of shared facilities: a terrace, a hot tub, a fitness centre, luggage storage, a lift and 24-hour security, with CCTV in the common areas and a safety deposit box. Family rooms are also offered, and an airport shuttle is among the services.

Inside the apartments there is a kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, kitchenware and a dining table, plus a washing machine and cleaning products. The apartments have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a desk, a sofa and soundproofed walls, and the bathroom comes with a bath, free toiletries, towels and a hairdryer.

Parking is free on site, but a reservation is needed. WiFi is free of charge in the public areas. The property is non-smoking throughout, with non-smoking rooms and a designated smoking area.

Glenwood Suites is on a residential street in Thao Dien, an expatriate area on the far side of the Saigon River from the city centre. The Tịnh thất An Hòa pagoda is 150 m away and the Đình Ích Phú temple 400 m, while the Chợ Thảo Điền market is 650 m from the property. For eating out, the restaurants Gosu Sushi and Ans Saigon are both within 200 m, along with several cafés on the same stretch of road.

The city centre is 5.4 km from the property, Saigon Railway Station is 6.5 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 6.2 km, so for longer journeys a taxi or ride-hailing car is the usual choice. Thao Dien station is 800 m from the building. An airport shuttle is among the services offered, which saves arranging a car for the airport run. If you drive, parking is free on site, but it needs a reservation in advance.

Most of the main sights are across the river in the centre. Crescent Lake, in the south of the city, is 9 km away, while the Vietnam History Museum is 3.6 km, so a day in town can be split between the museums and the lake. Tao Dan Park, 5.6 km away, is a green place to walk, and Công Viên Cầu Sài Gòn, a local park, is 750 m from the property. For a slower afternoon, the cafés on the nearby streets are within a few hundred metres, and the Ho Chi Minh City Museum is in the centre as well.
