Orchids Saigon Hotel

Ho Chi Minh City|0.41km from Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon

Latest booking 14 hrs ago

Stayed 4 nights in this well located hotel. Generally satisfied with my stay, hence a 4-star rating. Booked a premier deluxe room but found it rather small, with little storage space for clothes. Room was kept very clean and all equipment in room working. However, the shower curtain was too short, hence wet floor in bathroom after every use. Cleaners are polite and helpful though. Breakfast was reasonably good for the price. There us no spa in the hotel, despite it been listed in the website. Main complaint was the staff downstairs. They were not rude but can be better trained. It's my habit to invite some local friends to join me for breakfast. First morning, I invited 2 guests and, despite informing the staff that I would pay for the., they were stopped at the entrance and told in vietnamese that they had to pay. I had to intervene but it still took some time and embarrassment to get them in. A few minutes later, I was presented with the bill at the table. Surely they could wait until we were done. Adter breakfast, I wanted to pick up my case before leaving for a meeting with the guests. Again they were stopped although I told them it was just for a minute to pick up my bag. I understand the need for security but there was no flexibility. On another occasion, a friend, a local university professor, came to visit and she parked her motorbike at the basement. There she was rudely interrogated. I felt disappointed and embarrassed that my local friends were treated so badly. I would be hesitant to stay here again unless improvement in these areas are made. Overall, I like the cleanliness, security and location if the hotel.

Au Lac Legend Hotel
4.4/579 Reviews

Au Lac Legend Hotel

Ho Chi Minh City|0.36km from Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
Au Lac Legend is located in District 3 but its near to the city center at District 1. It took us just under 10mins to stroll to Nguyen Hue Walking Street. We began to appreciate the fact that its within walking distance but not right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Saigon as its much more quiet here with just the occasional honking of the motorbikes on the street below. The hotel is well decorated in an ethnic charm with an Indochine style to it which we like, its well maintained and clean most times. The hotel manager, this tall gentleman Henry was very helpful to give us lots of tips and info about Saigon City Tours. He is always smiling and very accommodating to all the guests and I think that sets a very good example for all his staff to follow. The front desk receptionist, I think her name is Fairy, was so friendly and helpful whenever we have questions to ask her. The hotel has a sky bar with a roof top pool which looks more like a large dipping jacuzzi as its very small for a pool, not meant for swimming but its ok as the hot weather just make you want to soak in there. The little cafe on the roof top is nice, they do serve afternoon tea with snacks, cakes and pastries daily from 3-5pm. By the way, the breakfast area is small but still a good size for the capacity of this hotel. It offers a good spread if you were to stay for 2-3 nights but nothing to complain about as most room bookings comes with breakfast included and that's already value for money for the price you are paying. We stayed on the 10th floor at the Suite Room which comes with a Queen and a Single bed. Good size room with an area for a sofa and coffee table. We love the bathroom which is spacious with separate areas for the standing bath and the bath tub. Now, the only bad thing we can find for this hotel is the shower water, its inconsistent in the hot water, it takes a long time for water to be heated up and when you are showering, it may turn cold anytime. So may I suggest for the management to look into this? A few more staff which I would like to compliment is that fizzy hair supervisor at the breakfast area, he makes an effort to make sure the guests are comfortable so that is good. All the other breakfast staff are also very diligent and hardworking. One suggestion to make is, for the breakfast staff to indicate that a table is taken while the guests go pick up their food at the buffet area. I saw quite a few confusion when guests didn't realize that certain tables had been taken and they just sat down which resulted with the actual table guests coming back with their food to their table that has been occupied by other guests. I also wished to special mention the hotel security staff Ray who is always very helpful and service with a smile all the time. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone.
The Spring Hotel

The Spring Hotel

District 1 - Le Thanh Ton Ho Chi Minh City|0.45km from Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
I booked Spring House for 2 nights mainly based on the reviews on this site and the Lonely Planet travel guide which said it was a good location and value for money. I contacted the hotel via e-mail, and I'm glad they responded quickly and enthusiastically. The hotel had already arranged for a car to pick us up at the Ho Chi Minh City airport (at an additional cost), but it took us an extra 15 minutes to find their receptionist, which was disappointing. He was sitting far away from the passenger exit, with the pick-up sign on his lap. I didn't see him all the time, and finally found him when I was about to take a taxi in desperation. We stayed in a first level room, the room was clean and comfortable, a decent size with a large window with a great view of the city, but that's about it. Its location is the most commendable, the hotel is adjacent to all the high-end shopping areas and malls, and it is only a few steps away from famous attractions such as the President's Palace and the Red Church. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and while it's not a feast, it's plentiful and tasty. There are several computers available for guests to use. The service at the front desk was friendly, welcoming and efficient. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and helpful, very considerate of my elderly father. There is a very steep staircase at the entrance of the hotel. Every time we went up and down the stairs, someone would immediately come up to help my dad. They are very thoughtful in this regard. I'm so glad I chose this hotel, it's a great value for money compared to the sky-high prices of other hotels. While the setting wasn't great, it was just what we needed - clean and comfortable, and a great location!! However, my impression of the hotel has gotten better and better after this.

Hotel des Arts Saigon Mgallery Collection
4.8/582 Reviews
Hotel des Arts is a beautiful boutique hotel in HCMC. We had an amazing stay at the executive studio suite. It’s truly the most instagramable hotel in the city. While located in district 3 it is actually very close to the city center in district 1, though it is a 5-10 minute walk away. The rooftop social club bar has great views and hip vibes. The breakfast buffet is a must and the food is top notch.
Aristo Saigon Hotel
4.2/572 Reviews
We stayed at Aristo Saigon Hotel for two weeks. It was a very pleasant experience at a very clean establishment with spacious rooms. Nice greeting with cold drinks and very fast check in. Very courteous and helpful staff with a special note on Pamela from the reception who did beyond expectation to fulfil our requirements. Breakfast is very good with a variety of local food. The very central location of the hotel is giving a great opportunity to walk towards the Cathedral, the famous Post Office, Zoo & Botanical Garden, Opera, museums market and shopping malls. Street food, restaurants and night clubs are everywhere around. Good value for the money
InterContinental Saigon, an IHG Hotel
4.5/5145 Reviews
Was recommended Intercon and it did not disappoint. Enjoyable stay for a girls' weekend and birthday trip. The hotel's location is the best- right across the Book Street, Notre Dame Cathedral and Post Office and a short walk to a street full of lovely cafes and restaurants and a slightly longer walk to the City Hall and Opera House. We were given a room on the 15th floor with a great view. Beds were very comfortable. Service was friendly and prompt. We will return!
InterContinental Residences Saigon, an IHG Hotel
4.6/566 Reviews
The 2-bedroom apartment we stayed in was large and a great space for my family of four. The facilities were very nice but the service is excellent. We would like to thank Handsome Van at the front desk along with every person at the front desk for the next level of service they provided. I really was blown away by the great service we received from the doorman to the servers to the drivers to and from the airport. It has been 5 years since I have been back to Vietnam and the service at the hotel was spectacular. I would recommend this hotel to everyone! They really made my stay wonderful. Thank you Intercontinental Team. We will be back!

Bach Suites Saigon, a Member of Design Hotels
4.4/5108 Reviews
This is the best boutique hotel at HCM. Read alot of good comments and they didn't disappoint. Love their design - modern and classy, cleaniless and overall maintenance is top notch. Service standard is comparable any 5-star branded chain, they knew I celebrating special occasion, and they were nice to upgrade my room and set up for surprise celebration. Right from the arrival, they were able to provide 5 star hotel service at affordable price There is a guard at the entrance to guide taxi, and open door for guest. Bcos it is relatively small hotel, they are able to provide more attentive service to guest. Special thanks to the hotel manager Ms Thuan for her kind arrangement. The room is very spacious and comfortable, great for rest after long day exploring the city. Note: the breakfast here is not to be missed. Although the spread is small but it is delicous, it has all the standard BF item you want. they also provide complimentary afternoon tea for you and mini bar filled essential soft drink. definitely coming back to Bach Suite next time I am back at HCM.
