Why use Giặt Ơi! at La Vela Saigon Hotel?
La Vela Saigon is the single hotel our drivers visit most often in Ho Chi Minh City. It sits on the calm District 3 side of the centre, so guests here tend to stay several days and build up real laundry — exactly the traveller our by-the-kilo pickup service is built for. We collect from the La Vela reception, wash and fold, and bring it back to the same desk, usually the next day, at roughly a third of what the hotel charges per piece.

How pickup works at La Vela Saigon Hotel
- WhatsApp us at +84 39 754 4696 with: "La Vela Saigon Hotel, room [number], approx [weight in kg], need back by [time]." Takes 30 seconds.
- We respond in 10 minutes with: confirmed driver ETA (typically 30 min), final price quote, and an order code (GO-YYYY-NNNN).
- Bag your laundry in any bag (your own duffel, the hotel's laundry bag, or a shopping bag). Label with your room number written on a sticky note if you're not handing it directly.
- Driver arrives at the concierge desk. La Vela Saigon Hotel's reception team is familiar with our drivers and the process. You can be present or just let the concierge hand the bag over.
- We weigh on-site in front of the concierge, take a photo of the receipt, and WhatsApp it to you with the final per-kg total.
- Processing happens at our central facility using industrial Alliance USA washing and drying machines — same brand used in 5-star hotel laundries worldwide. Photo updates at sort, wash, dry, fold, pack.
- Delivery back to the concierge in 4 hours (Express) or 24 hours (Standard). The concierge calls your room when it arrives, or you pick up at your convenience.
- Pay on receipt — cash (USD or VND), VietQR, or bank transfer. No app, no signup, no deposit at any stage.
Pricing realistically — what should you expect to pay?
The actual cost depends on what you have to wash, not how the hotel does the math. Honest examples:
- 3-day trip, light packer (3kg load): 5kg minimum applies → 150,000đ ($6) Standard / 250,000đ ($10) Express
- 5-7 day trip, typical (5kg load): 150,000đ ($6) Standard / 250,000đ ($10) Express
- Family of 4 across 4 days (12kg): 360,000đ ($14) Standard / 600,000đ ($24) Express
- Business traveler with one suit (dry clean) + 3kg general: ~150,000đ general + 150,000-220,000đ dry clean = ~$12-15 total
- Whites separated to prevent yellowing: add 80,000đ flat to the order ($3)
La Vela Saigon Hotel-specific frequently asked questions
Is pickup free from La Vela Saigon? It is in District 3, not District 1.
Yes, pickup and delivery are free. La Vela is in inner District 3, which is inside our free-pickup zone (the 14 inner districts of HCMC). There is no District 3 surcharge. The only delivery fees are for outer districts like Q12 or the Tan Son Nhat airport area, which do not apply here.
How does the pickup work if I am staying at La Vela?
Message us on WhatsApp +84 39 754 4696 (English is fine) with your name and the La Vela address. Bring your laundry bag down to the reception when the driver is close — we coordinate the exact time with you. Drivers do not go up to rooms (standard hotel policy); everything is handed over at the front desk, and your clean, folded clothes come back to the same desk.
What does it cost versus La Vela's own laundry?
We charge by the kilo, flat: 30,000d/kg for Standard (24 hours) and 50,000d/kg for Express (4 hours), with a 5kg minimum (150,000d). A typical 5-day load is 3-5 kg. Hotel laundry is billed per piece, so a few shirts and trousers there often costs more than a whole kilo-based load with us.
I fly out tomorrow evening — can I still get everything back in time?
Yes. For a next-evening flight, order Standard by 11 PM tonight (picked up around 11:30 PM, back by the next evening). If it is already the day of your flight, order Express before 6 PM and your clothes are back the same night, around 10:30 PM. Tell us your flight time on WhatsApp and we will confirm the timing before we take the bag.
Do you do dry cleaning for a jacket or dress, not just wash-and-fold?
Yes. Dry cleaning is 150,000d per item and handled by our partner dry cleaner. Send a photo on WhatsApp before pickup so we can confirm the garment and price. Wash-and-fold and dry-clean items can go in the same order and come back together to the La Vela reception.
