We booked this as it was right in the backpacker district and had family rooms. All the restaurants and shops you could need- right on the doorstep. 

As other reviews stated, the family were so charming and friendly.. several generations living there, being all smiley and helpful despite language barriers. 

Our family room was big and had our own balcony. Perfect for chill out time after the hectic city days. I was disappointed though that there was no kettle- but in asking for hot water they gave me one they had spare. 

Our room was cleaned and towels replaced each day and they arranged our tour to Cu Chi tunnels at late notice for the next day for the best price I had found. 

I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Ho Chi Minh. We loved it. 

An oasis of charm in a hectic city. 

We loved our stay at banana Leaf Hotel! 

Positive - location, great little street, the family were so warm and inviting and helped us with our bus booking and tours. 
Little mino protects the front gate was lovely to see the little dog there who keeps to himself and does his job well.
Little bathroom kit was great and only had few flights of stairs to a spacious room with peaceful balcony. 
We found the price fantastic and the location and food places perfect for us.
PLEASE NOTE: I have seen a few comments complaining about noise.
Yes there is a club that plays music, no it doesn't rock the walls and if you come to one of the busiest a cities with massive population and stay near backpacker street then you may need to go elsewhere. 

Hidden gem - no complaints 

Small Indian Vegetarian restaurant.
Lot of vegetarian dishes available through out the day. Service is fast. Staff very courteous. Mr.Ganesh and Mr.Arun were very helpful in choosing our dishes. Take aways also good.

Great Indian Vegetarian Food in HOCHIMINH

After receiving a cancellation from hotel was booked before, I had to struggle to find a another place to stay 1 night. This hotel is central of city, nearby BuiVien walking street and quite noisy.
Host is friendly and nice
Room is clean and simple, it is suitable for lower budget and short stay.

HoChiMinh city

After my evening flight had been delayed, I opted to spend another night in Saigon rather than fly out super late. Unfortunately, the hotel I'd been staying in was all booked up, but they pointed me in the direction of several other accommodation options down the alleyway across the street. The first I stumbled upon was Banana Leaf which looked pretty good to me. Greeted by a barking dog which was more cute than intimidating, I opened the gates and walked inside and was welcomed by an older couple. The woman offered me a single room for a decent rate and allowed me to view it first. Up the many flights of stairs I went, and the room was what I'd hoped. It was spacious, clean and had a working air conditioner. To avoid schlepping my gear back up the winding stairwell, they loaded it into a makeshift baggage elevator which made its way up to my floor. There was a nice little garden patio I spent all of 5 minutes in, admiring the limited nighttime view. As I was only spending the night, I just needed a quiet place to stretch out and crash. This did the trick. I was up and out of there only a handful of hours later to catch my plane.

Short but sweet

I give my experience in this two star hotel, 4 stars, and very good if you are on a budget. This is in a good location, initially a little hard to find off the alley. Very friendly family run business. You feel fairly secure in the building as they lock the gate after certain hours at night. Strong wifi. No elevator, but they have a pulley system, like a dumb waiter, that will pull your luggage up to your floor. The rooms are stark but serviceable, but there is a little outside patio available to each floor and I thought that was a nice benefit. You are right around the corner from Bui Vien Street with some nice dining choices and you have to try Mimosa. 

Perfectly adequate

This hotel has everything going for it.
Location is great. Family staff are great. Facilities are great. Has all you need. Room, good bed, air conditioning,  fan, hot water,  WiFi. The door shuts at midnight but no problem, just ring the bell and somebody will open up for you. The only downside is the nearby nightclub.  10 pm till 4 am  it's boom boom music. So ....  earplugs are supplied if your a light sleeper,  but the boom boom bass can make the room rattle. Me, I was fine but it may bother other's. So you have been warned. Please don't stay here then complain.  Yes I'd stay here again and would recommend to others if your happy with bass to go to sleep with.

Only One Downside 

We stayed 3 days in the banana Leaf hotel. The room was clean and very quiet. There was a small terrace with plants to relax outside. The location is great with a market and restaurants nearby. In addition, it is only a 5-min walk to the bus station.

Quiet hotel at a good location

This hotel is property of a family, who is very welcoming and smiling ! 

Room was clean and confortable. 

Water was just too cold or too hot, not easy to found the middle.. 

We really loved terraces for each floor. 

There is a night club near the hotel, and it's a bit too loud. 
They give us earplugs.

Another issue : the door is closed every day at midnight, not so good if you want to party all night... :) 

Price is very cheap, and you are in a good place in the city. 

User-friendly hotel

The location is perfect. In the heart of District 1, but hidden in the courtyard from the noise of the street. Though there is night club beside, so you can hear music playing all the night. If you are sensitive sleeper cosider booking another place. Rooms are basic, but clean. AC worked fine. Hamily who runs this place was polite and pleasant. But they do not really speak english, except few basic words.
