which you can stay at for the best nightlife<\/strong> as shown on the map above. They are <strong>Pham Ngu Lao<\/strong> (Blue) and <strong>Dong Khoi<\/strong> (Purple) area and both of them are in <strong>District 1<\/strong>. Both are slightly different in offerings but they are relatively close to one another. We will talk more about each area and who is it suitable for.  <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pham-ngu-lao-for-nightlife-and-on-a-budget\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"pham_ngu_lao_for_nightlife_and_on_a_budget\"><\/span>Pham Ngu Lao For Nightlife and On a Budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Pham Ngu Lao is a very popular place to stay for nightlife.<\/strong> You will often see accommodations being fully booked if you do not book in advance. There are several reasons why it is a popular choice for tourists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Firstly, the hotel\/hostel in the area is really cheap<\/strong> as compared to other areas. Due to its cheap prices, it is well-known in backpacker circles as the backpacker district. You can get a decent Hostel bed for as low as $7 USD a night. You will not be able to find a 5-star hotel here as most buildings are only shophouses. Due to the many backpacker accommodations, if you&#8217;re staying for long, you might get an even better deal. Not only are accommodations prices low, food and drinks prices are equally low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secondly, the nightlife scene.<\/strong> Pham Ngu Lao is an area that has many small connecting alleyways that contain many hostels, delicious food stalls and spas. At night, back-alley bars, pubs, dance clubs, and sidewalk beer cafes are open for business. A famous street Bui Vien Street that is in this area is well-known for its nightlife. The whole road is closed at night and filled with bars, street performances and live music that occurs sometimes even till dawn! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/q1eDffzR4NY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thirdly, it is in<\/strong> a good location. It is in the centre of HCMC and you can reach top attractions by foot or a very short private transport. You can easily reach the Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral. There are also many tour agencies here where you can book tours to the famous <strong>Cu Chi Tunnels<\/strong> and <strong>Mekong Delta<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-is-bui-vien-area-suitable-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who_is_bui_vien_area_suitable_for\"><\/span>Who is Bui Vien Area suitable for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an area where you can <strong>find nightlife and parties<\/strong> and <strong>not spend a ton of money on food and accommodation<\/strong> then this is it. Best suited for <strong>Backpackers<\/strong> and <strong>budget travellers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best places to stay in Pham Ngu Lao &amp; Bui Vien for Nightlife:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mid-range Hotel ($$):<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/vn\/jan-hostel-central-point.en.html?aid=7968298&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jan Hostel Central Point<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 From its name it mentions hostel, but actually it\u2019s a hotel with only private rooms.
