Smile Boutique - Tropical Designer Apartment is an apartment in Thao Dien, 7.1 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with a sun terrace and a year-round outdoor swimming pool. The property suits independent travellers and couples who want a self-catering base in a residential district that has long been popular with expatriates. Every unit has air conditioning, a kitchenette and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Each unit has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle, so you can prepare your own meals, plus a flat-screen TV. The studio has a patio, while the apartment with view and the duplex each have a terrace. The duplex is the largest unit at 30 m², so it suits guests who want more room to spread out.

Free toiletries, a hairdryer and towels are provided in the bathrooms. Private check-in and check-out are offered, and reception staff speak English, Vietnamese and Chinese.

Smile Boutique - Tropical Designer Apartment has three self-catering units, each for up to two guests, and all of them have air conditioning, a private bathroom and a kitchenette. The range runs from a 25 m² studio with a patio to a 25 m² apartment with a separate living room and bedroom, and up to a 30 m² duplex studio. Every unit has one large king-size bed, and the bathrooms have free toiletries, a hairdryer and a bidet.

The choice depends mostly on how much space and outdoor area you want. The studio and the apartment both have a patio or terrace for time outside, and the apartment is the one to pick if a separate bedroom matters.

Every unit has a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a microwave and an electric kettle, so meals can be prepared in your room.
