Travel Guide: Yen Home 3 – Millennium Residence Infinity Pool-Gym, Ho Chi Minh City

Introduction

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is a chaotic, vibrant tapestry of French colonial architecture, street food markets, and nonstop energy, and finding a calm, comfortable base to explore it makes all the difference. Tucked in District 4, Yen Home 3 at Millennium Residence balances modern convenience with laid-back luxury, perfect for couples, small families, and independent travelers who want to stay close to the action without paying downtown premium prices. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about booking, staying, and exploring from this hidden gem.

Hotel Overview

Yen Home 3 is located at 132 Bến Vân Đồn, District 4, a quiet residential neighborhood just a short bridge crossing from central District 1. This serviced apartment-style property offers all the comforts of home for short or extended stays. Every unit is fitted with a full kitchen, complete with a stovetop, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine, making it easy to whip up quick meals after a day of sightseeing or store leftover banh mi from a morning street stall. In-unit amenities include air conditioning, free WiFi across the entire property, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, an iron, hairdryer, clean linens, towels, and a private balcony. The property’s standout feature is its stunning infinity pool, plus on-site gym access, as well as barbecue facilities for casual outdoor evenings. Family travelers will appreciate the added safety of childproof outlet covers, and the multilingual staff speaks both Vietnamese and Mandarin for seamless communication. Note that there is no on-site parking available, so this property is best suited to travelers using ride-hailing apps or public transport.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a 10 to 15-minute ride away:

• Ben Thanh Market: Ho Chi Minh City’s most iconic central market, just 15 minutes from Yen Home 3. Wander crowded stalls selling handcrafted textiles, leather goods, and traditional Vietnamese coffee, then stop at the market’s food court for authentic pho and fresh banh xeo crispy pancakes at local prices.
• Bitexco Financial Tower: The city’s most famous skyline landmark, 12 minutes away by car. Head to the 49th-floor observation deck for panoramic views of the Saigon River and surrounding neighborhoods, or book a table at the rooftop bar for a sunset cocktail over the city.
• Nhà Thờ Đức Bà (Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica): This stunning 19th-century French colonial cathedral, 10 minutes away, is built entirely from materials imported from France. Its red brick facade and soaring spires make it one of the city’s most photographed landmarks, and the adjacent Central Post Office with its vaulted ceilings and vintage murals is equally worth a visit.

Travel Tips

Grab a Grab or Gojek ride (Vietnam’s popular ride-hailing apps) to get to and from the property; most rides to District 1 attractions cost less than $2. The neighborhood has dozens of local street food stalls serving cheap, delicious breakfasts and dinners within a five-minute walk, so skip the tourist traps and eat like a local. Book early if you want to guarantee access to the infinity pool during peak dry season (December to March), when the weather is perfect for swimming. Finally, don’t forget to bring a travel adapter for Vietnamese power outlets (Type A, C, and D are standard) to keep all your devices charged.
