Sherwood Residence

Location & getting around

Pasteur Street, District 10 — 630m to the palace

The address says District 3, but the distances compete with the District 1 core. The Reunification Palace is 630m away — closer than the 1.1km from The Reverie Saigon or the 1.1km from The Myst Dong Khoi.

City Hall is 1.1km and Ben Thanh Market 1.3km in a straight line — further on foot. Reviews describe walking to the palace and the War Remnants Museum, and morning walks along Pasteur Street. What you give up is the Nguyen Hue and Dong Khoi side after dark — that becomes a ride each time.

Agoda scores the location 9.0. A clinic sits 230m away and an ATM at 390m.

19 minutes to the airport, the shortest here

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5km straight-line away, about 19 minutes by car — the shortest figure among the Ho Chi Minh City stays covered on this site, and roughly ten minutes each way faster than the 26–31 minutes from the District 1 core. Saigon railway station is 1.8km and about 11 minutes; the Mien Dong bus terminal 4.1km and about 17.

In a city where the constraint is time rather than distance, that gap matters most on early departures and late arrivals.

Rooms & occupancy

Two and three bedrooms only

Built in 2007 and renovated in 2015, with 228 units. This is a serviced residence rather than a hotel, and the room list reflects that.

Types run Two Bedroom Executive and Premier, then Three Bedroom Executive and Premier, up to a Three-Bedroom Grand Suite. Some two-bedroom units come with a balcony. There is no one-bedroom or standard hotel room on the list.

Reviews repeatedly describe a separate living room and two bathrooms. Accounts include four people in a three-bedroom unit and two families sharing one apartment. Above a party of four, this is worth pricing against two hotel rooms.

Free stays only for one infant

The layout favours families; the rate rules do not. Only one child aged 0–1 stays free on existing bedding, ages 2–11 need a paid extra bed, and guests aged 12 and over count as adults — the opposite direction from Fusion Suites Saigon, where the free bracket runs to 11.

Business travellers are the largest guest group, followed by families with young children, couples and groups. It rates 9.1 overall across 7,374 reviews, and January is the busiest month.

Facilities

The kitchen and the laundry room

The point of this property is inside the unit rather than downstairs. Reviews return again and again to a kitchen with an induction hob, microwave, rice cooker and full-size fridge, and a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer. Guests describe buying detergent and running a wash mid-trip, and washing sweaty clothes the same day.

On a stay of three nights or more, or with children, that changes the shape of the trip. Fit-out can vary by unit type, so confirm on the booking screen.

Indoor and outdoor pools, and a kids’ club

Both indoor and outdoor pools are listed, along with a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a pool table and a games room. There are three event halls for up to 55 people, and a convenience store on site. Reviews mention half the pool sitting in shade — usable in the middle of the day — and the facilities being quiet enough to use on demand.

The caveat is age. This is a 2007 building, and reviews return to dated exteriors and furniture. The same reviews credit the housekeeping with covering it, but do not come expecting a current fit-out.

Compared & alternatives

For a hotel format in the same district, La Vela Saigon has a rooftop infinity pool and sits 4.4km from the airport.

For a kitchen inside District 1, Hotel Nikko Saigon runs apartment-style units as standard room types.

To see how walking radius actually differs between here and the District 1 addresses, read it beside staying inside District 1.

Bottom line

Above four people, or beyond three nights, the arithmetic changes here. Two or three bedrooms with a kitchen and laundry, 630m to the palace and 19 minutes to the airport is not a common combination in this city.

The trade-offs are real: the Nguyen Hue side becomes a car ride, children from age 2 are charged, and the building is from 2007.
