Ho Chi Minh City Hotels with Balcony

I stayed 3 nights at the Ramana Saigon hotel. Good location with easy walks through that part of the city if you do not mind pollution and a lot of traffic (mostly motorbikes). I loved discovering the city with its hectic and very lively environment. The hotel is next to district one. The railway station is a 10 to 15 minutes walk away. Plenty of eateries around and convenience shops next to the hotel. The staff at the reception were very welcoming and helpful. True professionals. That was also the case of security and those in charge of the rooms. I mentioned a very noisy service door next to my room and the issue was fixed immediately. Now I was not too impressed by the service and the attention at the restaurant during breakfast. Too busy with the many tour groups keeping the restaurant fully busy (and noisy) from 6 AM to 9 AM (seating: almost 300 people) then a bit quieter until closing time at 9:30 AM. Today I ate breakfast a bit later than usual at 8:45 and noticed that tables were not cleaned after guests left. Items were removed but nothing more resulting in empty tables with dirty table sets and no more forks, knives, etc... The food at the restaurant is for the masses. No real options for people with diabetes for example as pretty much all items are on the sweet or very sweet side. Including cooked vegetables (sugar and fat). 3 different salads to choose from but no simple dressing with just vinegar and oil. They care for the many Indian guests with a few vegetarian options but ... I tried and ... my glucometer did not appreciate and hit the red zone :( The rooms are old fashioned but nice and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. Not hard as is rather usual in Asia. The noise insulation is on the poor side. The air conditioning system is rather loud. There is a well sized fridge in the room and plenty of space :) The swimming pool on the 5th floor (outdoor) is small but nice and there are a few lounge chairs to relax. It was not busy when I was there in the early afternoon but I guess I was lucky ;-) The guests at the hotel are overwhelmingly tourists traveling in big groups. Mainly Indians and Chinese but also some Westerners. Bottom line: I enjoyed my stay at the Ramana and I understand that the mass tourism supports their business which, to me, comes with some disadvantages: overcrowded restaurant for breakfast, very loud and noisy guests at times ... and the flow of such guests is quite constant during the day (departures crossing arrivals).

The receptionist welcomed all the guests with a welcome drink. The hotel check-in and check-out process were very smooth. The hotel is very neat and clean. Morning breakfast with different varieties was awesome.

Excellent hotel, nice room and all the amenities that comes with it. Will definite come back.

The room is really not very good. I feel that the price is year-on-year. Many hotels are better than him. The breakfast is pretty good.

The front desk staff at White Lotus Hotel are proficient in English, very helpful, and welcoming. The complimentary breakfast was also fantastic. The rooms are clean and very quiet, and the location is great as shopping malls, party areas, and good restaurants are all within walking distance. I will definitely recommend White Lotus Hotel to my friends.

I was very happy with my stay here! Room was clean and spacious, the restaurant food was tasty, and every staff member was very helpful and kind! I'd like to especially thank the receptionists and guards that were on duty during my stay there. I don't remember their names, but what made me deeply thankful is how helpful they were, and here's why: I'm a slightly disabled person (my disability is almost not visible, nevertheless, sometimes it can cause some complications) and also since an accident two years ago which involved stairs, I'm really scared of walking up or down the stairs if there's not anything to hold on to. I didn't pay attention when booking this hotel, but when I arrived there, I saw that one part of their entrance staircase had no railing to hold on to, and then there were pillars and decorations right next to where the railing started, on both sides of the staircase, which made it difficult to access the railing. So it was kind of hard for me to take those stairs, but I managed to walk them 1-2 times. But then, some of their staff members must have noticed I'm having some issues while taking the stairs, and since then, every time I was going out or coming back to the hotel, someone from the reception would come and offer me a hand to walk the stairs. It was really sweet how they helped me without me asking them to do so, and also without judging me or asking personal questions about my disability. Truly wish them all the best!

Perfect location. Really can’t be any better on the location and the staff and cleanliness and updated classic decor was all great. Only two small tips for travelers. Ask for a non-connecting room. Reason being the sound proofing between connecting room doors is very poor. While we loved our stay, we also heard everything our neighbors said and did (and same for them I’m sure). That is not ideal. Other small feedback is the breakfast buffet. The food is good and it’s a great buffet but the room is on the small side and the hotel is usually busy, so it’s not the most relaxing breakfast situation. Back to all the good things. Perfect launch pad for walking Saigon and local restaurants. The pool and gym are pretty nice as well. Staff were uniformly wonderful. Recommended. Opera view rooms do have a better view at any level. If on non opera house side, you probably need to be above level 16 to enjoy a view.

: The hotel's location is fantastic, with plenty of amazing food options nearby. The cafes are great, and it's just a short walk to Ben Thanh Market. The breakfast selection was also top-notch! But what really made our stay special was the exceptional service from the staff. Jenny went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday extra special, decorating the room and even arranging for the staff to sing her a birthday song! Tommy also provided outstanding service, always greeting us with a warm smile. I also highly recommend the massage place nearby (not the one directly below the hotel). The prices quoted are inclusive of tips, and the owner, a friendly guy, remembers his customers. Overall, I'm so impressed with this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in a great location! Some of my favorite nearby food spots include: - Tonkin Speciality coffee (cheap and good, awesome service) - Taco del sol (beautiful decor) - Soko (love everything about this place!) Pro tip for coffee drinkers. Highland coffee is about 500m walking distance but you can get delivered by Grab at a small fee and they are delivered extremely fast like in 15mins!

Location: The hotel’s location is excellent, conveniently situated near [major attractions, restaurants, or business centers]. It made exploring the city quite easy. Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the hotel was pleasant. Both the room and common areas were well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. Comfort: Overall, the comfort of the hotel was also pleasant. The room was well-furnished, and I found the bed and furnishings to be satisfactory.

Stayed here for NY countdown. The location is central, at the District 1 ”Japanese Street”. Bustling and convenient area. When not enjoying their nice breakfast, there are plenty of eateries nearby. The rooftop bar and pool was good for viewing new year fireworks too. However, a few setbacks deducted quite a few points. 1) faulty elevator at times (had to take the stairs sometimes, and be careful at the stairs as its ceiling is really low, my friend hit his head once) 2) hammering and drilling in nearby room or building at early hours (good thing is they let you switch room when dissatisfied) 3) first room had a weird smell (older room with Jacuzzi tub). The final room we got smelled nice (newer room with standard bathtub), but TV remote control and bathtub stopper were missing, had to ask for it 4) the final flaw that made my female friends very uncomfortable, was the clientele - many middle-aged men sitting or waiting around lobby area, ogling girls who walked by. Sometimes it's a group of men, sometimes they're paired with a local lady. Other things to note: - upon check-in, they will request to keep your passport throughout your stay. We were not going to do that, so we gave them VND500000 as deposit (which you'll get back when you check out) - the toilet and shower/bath area are separate, however the walls and doors were made of frosted glass, rather see-through, might be awkward for some if you're not a couple
