The Rixx Perfect Apartment/D1/pool/gym/bathtub/fun

First Impressions

Walking into The Rixx Perfect Apartment/D1/pool/gym/bathtub/fun, you immediately get that “this is someone’s actual home” feeling — which, honestly, is exactly what you want from an apartment stay. The building on Thi Sách street might not look like much from the outside, but once you’re inside, it’s clear someone put real thought into making this space work for travelers. The lobby’s small but clean, and the elevator — well, it gets you where you need to go.

Location & Getting Around

You know what’s great about staying in District 1? Everything’s walkable, and I mean everything. From this spot on Thi Sách, you’re maybe ten minutes on foot to Ben Thanh Market, and the Notre Dame Cathedral is close enough that you’ll probably stumble across it while looking for coffee. The street itself is quieter than some of the main drags in Ho Chi Minh City, which means you can actually sleep at night — something that’s not always guaranteed in this city. Couples seem to really dig this area, and after spending time here, I get why.

The Space Itself

This three-star setup delivers exactly what it promises, starting with that bathtub — and trust me, after a day of walking around in the heat and humidity, you’ll appreciate having a proper soak. The room layout feels more like a studio apartment than a hotel room, with enough space to spread out your stuff without everything looking like a disaster zone. The kitchen area is basic but functional — perfect for making coffee in the morning or storing those Vietnamese snacks you’ll inevitably buy too many of.

Amenities That Actually Matter

The pool area is where this place really shines, especially during those brutal afternoon hours when stepping outside feels like walking into a wall of heat. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and usually not crowded — I’ve had it almost to myself on weekday afternoons. The gym is pretty standard stuff, nothing fancy, but it has what you need if you’re trying to maintain some semblance of a workout routine while traveling. There’s parking available too, though honestly, unless you’re planning day trips outside the city, you probably won’t need a car here.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the most Instagram-worthy place you’ve ever stayed, but it gets the fundamentals right. The location puts you in the heart of everything without the chaos of being right on Nguyen Hue or Dong Khoi streets. Recent guests consistently mention how easy it is to get around from here, and couples especially seem to appreciate having their own space rather than a cramped hotel room. The bathtub thing might sound silly, but when you’re dealing with the heat and humidity of Ho Chi Minh City, it’s actually a game-changer. Plus, having that pool means you can cool off without having to venture out into the madness of the city when you just need a break.
