Vietnamese call this Phố Tây Ba Lô, which means Western Backpackers District, because of many low cost mini hotels, frequented by backpackers. It's not necessarily for Europeans, though many backpackers may come from Europe.
In Vietnamese language, originally, Tây meant French but later it means all Caucasian people.
