This hotel was great for a one-night stop in Saigon. Very affordable and included breakfast. The area is safe and convenient for shopping and dining. It is VERY close to central Saigon & all the things you want to be close to. Staff were very nice but I DETEST that they ask for a copy of the Vietnam visa. In my opinion, that is only necessary at the AIRPORT - not the hotel. They can see the stamp in my passport that allowed me into the country. That was a real hassle. Breakfast was a bit average and a pool would have been nice in the hot, steamy weather but for 1 night, it was a good choice. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Breakfast buffet was good except for the omelette cook as someone needs to teach him. Good variety with a few changes daily. Staff was excellent and was willing to help in any way they could. Good location for shopping and thought Taka Plaza was better than Ben Than Market. I would definitely stay there again. Use only Grab as many taxis are scammers.

Stay somewhere else

Where to start! Before our stay, I sent four emails and messages to organise a airport pick up but received zero response. On check in, we were 'greeted' with a dull stare and eventually 'check in?'. That was it. No smile. No greeting. No other words. We were handed our room key and were then ignored. Our room reeked of cigarettes...apparently a smoking room but weren't given any option. An actual COCKROACH ran across the bed before I put my bag on it!!! Our 'garden view' room is actually an internal window, no natural light, facing doors of other rooms and the 'garden' is a patch of fake grass! I could go on but what's the point. They have no interest and seem to copy and paste the same regretful msg when ppl complain. Just do yourself a favor, save some money and stay anywhere but here.

Best part was the doorman

My husband and I booked in here for 4 nights. Wish we hadn't. From the air conditioner leaking all over the bed, which took 4 times of myself and my husband going downstairs to ask for it to be fixed, to my husband asking for us to change rooms. Hearing the people in the next room conversations, being woken up at 5am from the aerobics instructor on the loud speaker across the road in the park, to breakfast with cold stale eggs. Would not recommend.

Clean place, centrally located

This hotel is right in the thicket of district 1, on a very busy street, with lots of restaurants and travel agencies nearby. Across the street is a little park. Most of the rooms a grouped around an interior, covered courtyard, with balconies to access the rooms. This means on the one hand, it's surprisingly quiet inside, but on the other hand, it's quite dark in the rooms, especially when the curtains are drawn for privacy. My room was too small for my taste, but clean and with everything I needed. The shower was a little odd, with no possibility to adjust where the spray goes and the toilet to my dismay didn't have one of the little hand-held butt showers otherwise common in Vietnam. The breakfast is a good, generous buffet.
