Serviced Apartments in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City's serviced apartments offer straightforward, move-in-ready living for business travelers and relocators who need flexibility without the friction of long hotel stays. The city has evolved rapidly over the past decade, and its rental market now spans everything from compact studios in older French-colonial neighborhoods to modern one- and two-bedroom units in newer districts like District 7 and District 2.

Most serviced apartments here include utilities, cleaning, and internet—essentials that matter when you're settling in for weeks or months. They're popular with expat professionals rotating through regional roles, founders establishing local operations, and contractors scoping out longer-term projects. The appeal is simple: furnished, no lease haggling, no deposit drama.

Unlike booking platforms cluttered with unverified listings, Moveandstay curates properties that actually deliver on their descriptions. You contact properties directly through a straightforward inquiry form—no booking fees, no middleman overhead. That directness keeps your negotiation power intact. If you need three weeks instead of two, or want to discuss unit flexibility, the conversation happens between you and the property, not through an algorithm. Central locations command higher rates than residential suburbs, and competition has sharpened quality across the board.

    Minimum stays typically range from one month upward, though some properties accommodate shorter periods depending on availability.

  • Are serviced apartments subject to tax or GST in Vietnam?
    Ho Chi Minh City's rental market involves VAT (Vietnam's value-added tax) on some accommodation types, though treatment varies by property structure. Properties may factor this into their stated rate or quote it separately. Confirm tax treatment with the property before committing—especially relevant for long-stay corporate bookings.
