Ibis Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City

Great location, very close to the exhibition center. Good breakfast selections, having both western and local food (including Pho). Bed is a little bit hard, not the most comfortable one I had but it is acceptable. The front desk asked the staff to check room when I was checking out. I guess it is a common thing in Vietnam? But it may cause some extra time. ( my colleague and I waited about 10 minutes) So maybe people need to come to the front desk early during the peak time.

The allocated King Studio Room for me on the top level is excellent. It has impressive views of the Ho Chi Minh City airport air traffic control tower, the runway, the neighbourhood and impressive views of aircraft flying and landing on the runway. The room has a kitchenette and free dragonfruit, apple and other fresh fruits on a bowl. I am thankful to the receptionist for arranging Room 1511 for me. For transfer to the hotel from the International Terminal (Terminal 2) of Ho Chi Minh City airport, meet the hotel welcomer at Pillar No. 8 within 90 minutes of the flight's actual landing time. For transfer to the hotel from the Domestic Terminal 1, meet the welcomer at Pillar A09. The names of the guests are not indicated on the welcomer's placards. IBIS Saigon Hotel does not provide return airport transfers to the newly-opened Domestic Passenger Terminal 3, which currently serves passengers taking off from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and Van Don. Terminal 3 is located 3 km away from IBIS Saigon Hotel. The hotel provides transfers to Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 only. For return travel to Terminal 3 from IBIS Saigon Hotel, the cost of a ride by taxi ranges from 100,000 Vietnamese Dong to 109,000 Vietnamese Dong. If there is another opportunity, I will stay at IBIS Saigon Hotel again for plane-spotting purpose in Ho Chi Minh City.
