The stay was wonderful, and the food was simply five-star quality. The breakfast was varied and delicious, and you could really tell that the ingredients, especially the vegetables, were fresh.
It is a very good hotel that fully deserves its four stars, although I wouldn’t rate it as a five-star hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The cleanliness was impeccable—absolutely nothing to complain about.
The location is also convenient, relatively close to the airport and within easy reach of the city center. I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for a short stay.From€54

Hello, I was the guest in room 206, checking in on June 30th. After resting for a bit, I went out around 3 PM. When I left, my suitcase was open, and inside were clothes and a GoPro camera, which was attached to a neck strap mount and not easy to remove. When I returned in the evening, I noticed the room had been tidied. The next morning, I checked out and left my luggage at the hotel. Around 6 PM that afternoon, I returned to pick up my luggage to go to the airport. During that time, I opened my suitcase once at the luggage storage area to put something in. I didn't use the GoPro at all during my two days and one night in Ho Chi Minh City, so I didn't pay close attention to it. Afterward, I flew directly to Hanoi, and at the hotel there, I discovered my GoPro was missing from my suitcase, with only the neck strap mount remaining. I contacted you to help me look for the camera, but you said it hadn't been seen. After returning home, I carefully replayed all the events in my mind, and it's only possible that it went missing at your hotel. I hope that after seeing this review, you can help me check the surveillance footage again and contact me.From€106

Hotel Nikko Saigon — one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had
My stay at Hotel Nikko Saigon was genuinely exceptional. I have stayed at other Nikko properties before, including Nikko Kansai Airport and Nikko Guam, and I can honestly say that Nikko Saigon exceeded both of them. In fact, the level of service was even better than what I experienced at my previous destination in Singapore, including at the Marriott hotel where I stayed.
From the moment I arrived, I was incredibly impressed by the staff. The doormen and reception staff were waiting to greet guests at the entrance, and one of the staff members noticed my Japanese passport and kindly spoke to me in Japanese. She explained everything about the hotel and even helped carry my heavy backpack. These small details made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
One moment in particular made a very strong impression on me. I was travelling alone, and when my Grab driver suddenly started asking me for additional payment, claiming that he had “forgotten to add it through the app,” I was completely caught off guard. I had no cash with me because I thought I could manage a 22-hour layover entirely cashless.
I wasn’t even sure what amount the driver was asking for in the end, but the hotel staff immediately stepped in. They scanned a QR code, checked something on the driver’s phone, and I asked whether he had paid or whether I could transfer the amount or add it to my hotel bill. The staff simply told me not to worry about it and handled the situation themselves. As a young woman travelling alone, I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I had arrived at a hotel where the staff had not intervened. The two doormen in particular made sure the situation was handled and that I was safely away from the car. I am incredibly grateful to them.
The turn-down service was also absolutely outstanding. It was so seamless and thoughtful that it genuinely surprised me. The staff entered the room while I was away, and although I had left my belongings somewhat scattered around, they had taken such care with everything. They had even carefully flattened out the wrinkled receipts I had left on the table, cleared away my empty coffee cup, and left chocolates on the bed. It was an incredibly thoughtful touch.
The only thing I would mention as a small concern is that I was not aware that the staff had entered my room while I was away. Since I had left some personal belongings scattered around, I would have appreciated being informed beforehand. That said, the care they took with the room and the little details more than demonstrated how attentive the staff were.
Literally, this is one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The combination of genuinely warm hospitality, attentiveness, and thoughtful service was outstanding. Hotel Nikko Saigon has set an extremely high standard for me, and I would happily return without hesitation.From€114

Nguyen Hue Walking Street Ho Chi Minh City|1.12km from city center
Description is overselling this property a bit but all in all a good place to stay. Good space and design is nice though finish a bit worn. Balcony tub seemed interesting but when the view is a huge AC vent a few meters across the alley it wasn’t that inviting in the end. Anyway did not encounter any real problems during the stay and the staff was consistently good.
Location is good, yet quiet at night. Check- in procedure was overly complicated and I get the idea with welcome drink and snack and someone coming to you with the paperwork as a kind of premium experience but I think its better saved for a resort than a city hotel.
Did like the restaurant and breakfast spread is very good with both local and international options.

Ho Chi Minh City Centre Ho Chi Minh City|1.04km from city center
This hotel stay turned out to be even more pleasant than I expected. From the moment the bellboy proactively took my luggage when I got out of the car, to the efficient check-in process at the front desk, there was no unnecessary waiting. The staff's smiles were just right – not overly enthusiastic, but not aloof either.
Upon entering the room, the first thing I noticed was how spotless it was. No dust on the surfaces or floor, and even the curtain seams were clean. The bed was soft yet supportive, and the toiletries were high quality with a refreshing, non-overpowering scent. Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows revealed an expansive city street view. In the evening, I enjoyed sitting by the window, feeling the breeze. A convenience store and coffee shop were just a two-minute walk away. The location was perfect – quiet yet central, making it convenient for getting around without being disturbed by the city's hustle and bustle.
The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but every item was exquisite. The freshly made noodles were perfectly al dente, and the freshly squeezed juice had no added sugar, which was exactly to my taste. Overall, while it doesn't boast exaggerated '网红' (internet-famous) design, it's full of thoughtful details. It's definitely a place I'd choose to stay again the next time I visit this city.From€127

Ho Chi Minh City Centre Ho Chi Minh City|0.59km from city center
Pros: amazingly delicious buffet breakfast from western to asian cuisines. Delicious food and always fresh seasonal fruits. Menu changes daily. Their Triple Roomnis quiet spacious with bonggavillas on window sills. Room is cleaned and linens changed on a daily basis. Bar at the rooftop with jacuzzis and spa pool which added to the zen vibes. Lobby is dimly lighted but just enough to light the way which I think uphholds to its ZEN vibes. The location is superb. Next to it are spas for hair, nails, massage and 3 mins walk right through ben thanh market, saigon square, saigon center. 10 mins walk to Notre Dame Cathedral. Easy to catch Grab. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and communicates in English well.
Cons: they don't have a swimming pool as what is advertised on its amenities. It's more like a spa pool where clients can sit, dip and maybe drink some coctails while watching the night lights and relaxing with the zen environment. However, the spa pool is perfect for my 8 yo nephew. He can play, swim on the pool without us worrying that the water might be deep for him. Bath tub is high so its not good for a short elderly client who got issues with mobility. My 78 yo mom got a hard time climbing in and out of the tub as its also slippery. We finally managed by letting her sit on th edge of the tub first before putting her foot in/out of the tub and putting towel on the floor of the tub while she's showering.From€35

Overall, the hardware is excellent, but the front desk service needs improvement.
My overall stay was actually quite good. The hotel lobby is spacious and beautiful, with a strong sense of design, and there are many comfortable seats, making the wait during check-in quite pleasant. The room was also satisfactory – clean, spacious, and equipped with a bathtub; the overall hardware facilities were excellent.
The breakfast was the highlight. The breakfast area is on the top floor, where you can walk out onto the outdoor terrace to enjoy views of Ho Chi Minh City. The morning breeze was very refreshing. The food selection was incredibly diverse, including Vietnamese, Chinese, Western, Japanese, and Indian cuisines, offering such a wide variety it felt like a dinner buffet, just without seafood. One or two floors above the top floor, there’s also a large infinity pool, with a very relaxing environment. However, the pool is quite deep, reaching around shoulder height, so be mindful when using it.
However, some unpleasant incidents occurred on the day of check-out. There's an electronic entertainment/game area on the 4th floor, and staff mentioned that each guest room receives a USD25 voucher. After I collected the voucher for my room, my friend was checking out of their room next to me. I reminded the front desk staff to give them their voucher, but the staff member seemed to ignore me and continued with the check-out process. Only afterwards did they say that since the room was already checked out, they couldn't issue the voucher. When I tried to explain further, the staff member became impatient and even slammed documents on the counter, making their colleagues a bit awkward. Ultimately, I had to escalate the issue to another manager, who then helped to cancel the original check-out process and re-issue the voucher to my friend.
Additionally, for a hotel of this caliber, I had expected a welcome drink to be offered proactively, but it was self-service, requiring guests to fetch it themselves. I felt that the attention to service details could be better.
In summary, the hotel's hardware, rooms, breakfast, and pool are all quite good, but the front desk's service attitude and how they handle guest inquiries still have room for improvement. The hardware is highly recommended, but the service experience didn't fully align with the hotel's positioning.From€100

I chose this hotel for its convenience, as I had an early morning departure and needed a place close to the airport with shuttle service. The room was more than spacious enough for one person, and it was very clean and comfortable. I particularly appreciated the USB port next to the bed, which was very convenient.
Regarding amenities, as other reviews mentioned, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were an all-in-one type. If you have specific preferences, you might want to bring your own.
The breakfast offered a good variety and was satisfying. However, there were many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores around the hotel, so if I had more time, I might have opted to eat out for a cheaper breakfast.

This is a hotel of contradictions.
The facade is impressive. It's centrally located in District 1 near restaurants, shops and the Western quarter. The buffet breakfast selection is pleasing. The room size is generous. Staff are friendly and helpful. There's a forward thinking eco-friendly policy which clearly implemented throughout the hotel.
However, the hotel is let down by some of its facilities. For example, in the bathroom a spa has been placed under a shower head so that when you shower the water runs down the wall and floods across the bathroom floor from one side to the other and in front of the hand basin. The hot and cold water taps turn on in opposite directions and the cold tap is not fitted properly which causes it to move. My children were unable to turn the shower on or off without adult help. The shower head is also too low and my 6 foot husband had to crouch down to shower.
Another problem area is the rooftop pool area. The clear rooptop pool perimeter fence is woefully too low. I watched a child climb out of the pool to the ledge between the pool and the perimeter fence and I was very worried for his safety. One wrong slip or stumble and there's nothing stopping the child from toppling over the edge and 11 floors down.
This hotel has a lot going for it but also has further room for improvement.From€38

The hotel is located in the Japanese quarter, overall the location is good. Small room, clean, typical business hotel. Very friendly staff! There is an onsen on the eighth floor, the schedule is more for men, but we managed to get there during women's time. Breakfasts are interesting.

This place is hard to find even to some locals, and its especially hard for foreigners to come by for the first time. It's a newly building with security at the lobby, and there are shops and restaurants near by which is convenient. However; there is hardly a management of this property, we booked for 4days 3 nights and there were only 4 bottles in total and we had no respond when we required for more water bottles.(good thing is shops are close by.) Secondly, we also had no respond when we requied of house cleaning, we found and killed Cockroaches everyday. Last but not least, the third night of stay hot water running out, I had to take a cold shower. I don't mind taking cold showers in Vietnam's current weather, its just i didnt have an option of hot water makes this stay less worthy.
There are also some pros of this property, the views are good, you get to see the landmark 81 building right outside the window, and some parts of river view. Besides the views, they use good quality bedding appliances (mattresses are great) and electrical appliances(dryer in your closet, you get to hang your wet clothes, sanitize and dry them).
Overall, I would come back and live here if the management can starting to catch up.From€114

This hotel is perfect for just lying around, relaxing, and doing absolutely nothing.
We stayed in the Aqua Villa. The room was excellent – clean, beautiful, and comfortable.
The private in-room pool had rather warm, even hot, mineral water. The downside was that over the week, the pool was only cleaned once, on the first day. A lot of leaves and flowers fall into the pool.
Breakfasts were excellent.
On weekdays, the hotel was almost empty. It only got busier on weekends.
The grounds are very large and beautiful.
Mineral pools, mud baths, etc., all cost extra! The only free amenities are the general pools (several of them) and the forest for walks.
There's only one restaurant. There are no shops or anything else. You can't rent a motorbike anywhere.
Grab, Maxim, and similar services don't operate here.
You can only get to Binh Chau by taxi – 300,000 VND round trip.
There's absolutely nothing to do in Binh Chau. And everyone stares at Russians like they're some exotic creature. Everyone wants to come up and say 'Hallow'.
Conclusion: If you just want to relax in peace and quiet, do nothing, simply unwind and benefit from the mineral pools and mud baths, this is an excellent option!
If you're looking for hustle and bustle with lots of restaurants, shops, and tourists – this is definitely not the place for you!
It's an excellent option to just relax here for a week, and then head to Mui Ne (a 2-hour taxi ride).From€55

One of the bedrooms in a two-bedroom apartment with double beds is fairly small. The sound distance is poor at night since we could hear the TV's light sound, which is inconvenient, and the water drainage is also pretty slow. Even yet, at this cost, a 1-night stay for a group of 3–4 people is still reasonable and commendable as it's well equipped with culinary equipment, a fridge, washing machine and balcony for drying the clothes.
If you were driving yourself, it was advised to park for one night in the basement for VND 80k from 13 p.m. to 13 p.m. the following day.

A Truly Memorable Stay
I had a wonderful stay at Liberty Central Saigon Citypoint during my birthday trip to Ho Chi Minh City. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive and professional. The housekeeping, bell boys, concierge and front desk team were all excellent and made me feel genuinely welcomed throughout my stay.
What touched me most was the thoughtful birthday surprise. 🎂❤️ I was pleasantly surprised when the hotel presented me with a birthday cake during my stay. I truly did not expect it, and although it may seem like a small gesture, it honestly made my day. I really appreciated the effort and thoughtfulness behind it.
The location is also fantastic very central and within walking distance to major shopping destinations such as Takashimaya and Saigon Centre, making it incredibly convenient for shopping, dining and exploring the city. KKV just next door and cinema within the hotel premises.
Overall, this was such a lovely and memorable stay. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday trip even more special. Your warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made a difference. ❤️
I would definitely return and highly recommend Liberty Central Saigon Citypoint to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!From€91

Excellent 4-star hotel with a fantastic location. There's a delicious Japanese restaurant just around the corner. The hotel offers good breakfast. The views aren't ideal, though – the dilapidated and abandoned neighboring buildings detract from the overall picture. The pool is small and lacks sun loungers, but it was enough for us. The rooms are small but pleasant, and the atmosphere is lovely. We appreciated that even during breakfast, the minibar (non-alcoholic drinks and beer) was included upon check-in, and you could also enjoy snacks during afternoon tea.From€56

Hello! We stayed in Ho Chi Minh City in early August 2026. We booked this hotel in advance and didn't regret it! We even returned for another night on our way back, which is the best review of our stay! The design, furniture, and interior items are all in my favorite colonial (I assume) style, which gives the hotel an authentic feel! The breakfasts are also worth mentioning positively; there's a buffet selection, and you can order several additional dishes from the menu (traditional soup, eggs Benedict on toast, pancakes)! You can have breakfast either inside or on the veranda. The restaurant is located on the 10th floor and offers a great view! The restaurant also operates à la carte. In the evening, you can truly enjoy dishes in a pleasant atmosphere with a beautiful view of the city lights! The à la carte prices at the restaurant are somewhat higher than average, but standard for restaurants with a similar ambiance. The dishes are interesting. The hotel staff is pleasant, very responsive, and ready to help at any moment! Our interactions with the hotel staff were very comfortable. Thank you again! The location is also excellent – not on a busy road, yet close to attractions, activities, and cafes. We walked to the main shopping centers! We definitely recommend this hotel! And perhaps we'll even return to stay there ourselves someday!From€48

The hotel is conveniently located in District 3, within a 20–30 minute ride (traffic permitting) to popular spots like the Café Apartment and Ben Thanh Market. It’s also close to District 1, while offering a slightly quieter environment, which we appreciated. There are plenty of nearby conveniences, including 7-Eleven, Charles & Keith, and various food options.
However, the cleanliness could be improved. We requested housekeeping on our second day, but only basic tasks like making the bed and emptying the bin were done. The room itself was not thoroughly cleaned—trash on the table was left untouched, the bathroom still had used packaging from the hotel toiletries, and there was noticeable dust in less visible areas such as behind and under the bed.
Overall, the stay was acceptable, especially as we enjoyed the convenience of a connecting room, which suited our family well. And the hotel breakfast was super good! Many varieties.From€37

The hotel is located in a prime area along the Saigon River, with convenient access to key business districts, restaurants, and major attractions. This makes it suitable for both business and leisure travelers.
Based on their feedback, the rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, with pleasant views of the river. The overall environment is modern and welcoming, which worked well for both boss and colleagues
The staff were professional and attentive, providing consistent service throughout the stay. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth, which made the overall arrangement much easier from a coordination perspective.

The room was tiny and not worth the price; it felt more like a motel than a hotel.
The breakfast buffet wasn't very rich – wouldn't recommend it. No wonder there were so few people...
In the public facilities, the two treadmills in the gym seemed different, which was odd.
The pool was actually quite small (it looked much bigger in photos), but the rooftop view was pretty good.
Some amenities were available on the second floor for self-service.
Also, the restaurant was located one floor above the guest rooms, which was a bit strange to have to take the stairs up. Luckily, we were assigned to the top floor, so we could just walk up directly without having to take the elevator and then stairs.
The only good thing was its convenient location in the city center; the area around it was also very lively.
The room cleaning was spotless, and the front desk staff were very friendly.
The TV could connect to Netflix and YouTube.
Plus, there were free washing and drying machines, which was a nice bonus.
If I were to stay again, I wouldn't add breakfast, and if the price is over 2,000 NTD, I wouldn't choose this place again.
(I had previously stayed at another 4-star hotel at a similar price point, but the overall experience here was very disappointing in comparison.
That other hotel was also in District 1, with much larger rooms and bathrooms, and it also had a gym and pool, plus a more extensive breakfast buffet.)From€71

Quite pricey for what is offered. The property feels very old and outdated, and the room was not in the best condition. The bed sheets and towels seemed worn out, and there was an odd smell in the room throughout my stay.
The staff, however, were genuinely kind and helpful. They assisted me with storing my luggage, which I really appreciated.
As for the facilities, there is no proper gym. It’s essentially a hallway leading to the pool area, which was extremely hot even with the air conditioning running.
In general, the common areas, including the lobby, did not seem adequately air-conditioned.
Cleanliness could also be improved. The bathtub drained very slowly and was partially blocked, and the sink had similar issues. Overall, the property did not feel well maintained.
Considering the condition of the rooms and facilities, I found the hotel overpriced. Unfortunately, the pool alone is not enough to make up for the shortcomings.From€33

Important warning: Hotel staff in Vietnam are thieves. Do not leave your belongings unattended. I was stolen from twice, both times while I was at the breakfast buffet. Always keep your money and documents with you.
Hotel Continental Saigon
There are many hotels with similar names, but this one has a unique location.
The entire hotel stands as a living testament to four crucial periods in Vietnam's modern history: French colonialism, the Vietnam War, reunification, and the Doi Moi (renovation) era. The building itself is a living specimen of Southeast Asian French colonial architecture, possessing literary, war-related, and urban historical significance.
Consequently, the hotel rooms retain their original charm; they are spacious and include an antechamber.
The cleanliness is meticulously maintained. This was the last hotel I stayed at during my 30-day trip to Vietnam, and I was here for five nights.
The air conditioning in the rooms works well, but the breakfast buffet in the hotel courtyard has no air conditioning and can get a bit warm.
The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the Saigon Opera House. The Saigon double-decker tour bus stop is right at the entrance. A 60-minute double-decker bus tour of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, costs 45 VND.
The Nguyen Hue Walking Street in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is also nearby.
However, during my five-day stay in Saigon, I ate dinner out every night.
Fortunately, the Vincom Center Dong Khoi is right next to the hotel. It's one of Ho Chi Minh City's most upscale shopping malls, conveniently located adjacent to the hotel. It houses numerous international luxury brands, features modern architecture, and even has a high-end hotel inside. It's very popular with tourists and local high-spending individuals. It's quite similar to Shanghai's Joy City or the New World on Nanjing Road, with over a hundred different restaurants offering a wide array of choices.From€68

Reliving old Nanyang dreams, I returned to Saigon, Vietnam. I originally came for the Park Hyatt but was deeply captivated by Mia Saigon.
It was evening when I landed, and my night in Ho Chi Minh City began with a glass of prosecco. I chose the local brand Mia Saigon for my first hotel. Standing on the bar's terrace, watching the Saigon River break the city lights into a myriad of stars, I suddenly recalled the fifteen-year-old girl from Duras's novel – ”I've known you, and I'll remember you forever.”
Mia Saigon is like a modern woman in an ao dai, bringing French elegance and Vietnamese warmth together under the same louvered window. I woke up to the scent of frangipani in the morning, with dew still clinging to the rattan lounge chairs by the pool. The staff here remember if you ordered a drip coffee or an iced latte yesterday, yet they are never overly attentive, much like the restrained gaze from under the man's felt hat in ”The Lover” – ”I love your ravaged face, more than your face when you were young.”From€192
