Hotels near Saigon Cooking Class in Ho Chi Minh City

My wife and I booked a Superior double room incl bfast here for 6 nights in February. We requested a transfer (for approx £12) by emailing the hotel and were met at Tan Son Nhat International airport as arranged. This proved to be a good move as the hotel was further from the airport that we had expected and the traffic was awful. Check-in was quick and easy and we were given a room at the back of the hotel on a higher (10th) floor as requested. Our room was quiet and spacious with a large comfortable bed. There was a wardrobe (but no drawers), a fridge (no free drinking water!), kettle (cups, but no supplies), TV (some English channels), table and 2 chairs and complimentary flip-flops. There was no room safe but valuables could be kept at reception free of charge. The aircon, hairdryer and Wifi worked well. The bathroom had a shower/bath combo with good pressure and plenty of hot water. 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, a bathmat, 2 small soaps, 2 sachets shampoo, 2 toothbrushes and a comb were provided. The cleaner came daily but did not clean the floors or bath and on one occasion left no towels or toiletries. However these were quickly obtained from reception. The breakfast area was on the ground floor. The breakfast buffet selection was small but adequate. You were offered a choice of eggs (fried, scrambled, omelette) cooked to order. The buffet itself consisted of 3 hot asian dishes, bread/toast, cakes (2 types), fresh fruit (usually watermelon), juice, (not replaced once finished), tea and coffee. Milk was kept behind the counter and you had to ask for it every time you wanted a splash in your tea or coffee. There were 2 convenience stores close by (the Vinmart minimart across the street was cheaper than the CircleK) and there was a large Co-op supermarket at the end of the street (about 10 mins walk away). My wife and I thought this hotel was very good value for money. It was in an excellent location and staff were friendly and helpful. We had an enjoyable stay and would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel or staying here again if we are in the area. This review is based solely on my experience and I hope you have found it helpful.

Totally love this hotel, for the priced I was offered the smallest room at the highest level, 7.. however as someone with a large, heavy luggage, there were some flight of stairs that i had to take to access to the next building, so I had to carry my heavy suitcase on my own.. Room is very much 95% soundproof which helps a great deal!

I stayed here in Feb 2019. First, I booked for 4 nights only but then I liked the location, the staff and cleaniness, I decided to stayed in this hotel 2 more times in March 2019. The hotel was about 1 year old. I stayed in room 401 and 501. AC worked fast. Room was clean. Lots of restaurants around including a vegetarian one. There was also a catholic church near by. Staff were super nice and friendly (especially Bich Lai). The owner of this hotel also has 2 more older hotels near by (Bloom hotel 1 and 2). I stayed at the Bloom 2 (Or Hoang Hotel) for 3 nights due to the Saigon Park was sold out. (Both hotels were few steps from one another) However, I don't like the Hoang hotel much since it was a bit dated. Overall, I liked the Saigon Park hotel, but I can't give it a 5 star rating. There is no tissues in the room and no free daily bottle of water. Also, the AC does not automatically on after you insert the key card into the slot. You have to remember to turn it on all the time.

The hotel is newly renovated, everything is stylish and beautiful👍👍👍 Excellent location next to the most party street, but it wouldn’t hurt to put up signs, because... hard to find

Private mini hotel, with a good location, large room, comfortable beds, clean, well cleaned, the only negative for us was the lack of an elevator, but we knew about it, the price is a little high

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!

Would not recommend to anyone. Why? PFB the instances:- Cons 1) We were in transit from 12 AM the previous night and we reached the hotel around 9 AM. We were jetlagged, tired, sleepy and head was heavy. We requested the receptionist (a male) to please give us the room based on an early check in price. The response was shocking! We were told the category of room we have booked will not be available till 2 PM so you can wait in the lobby. Else, pay early check price for the room (that they were never giving until 2 PM) and also, play half price for another category of room (they were offering a suite). Imagine having to pay A+B just to get the room to sleep off. No consideration for the tired travellers. We paid early check in price for the room we never got and also, paid half price for a lower room category and slept till 1:30 PM. After we woke up, we moved to Our room. 2) No room service whatsover. If you wish to eat, eat during the buffet breakfast or Sky Garden on the top floor. When we enquired, if hunger strikes at say 12 noon or 9 PM - receptionist told us - You can go out and eat! 3) No iron available. Forcefully, we had to give the clothes for dry cleaning. And guess what? Ironing AFTER dry cleaning came at an extra cost. I mean how does that add up???? Also, they had almost lost my husband's t-shirt. They took them 3 hours to find it after the 48 hours delay. Yes, you heard it right - 48 hrs and 24 hours TAT for dry cleaning. 4) No tourist guidance whatsover. When we asked where do we go how do we go? We were handed a pamphlet. When looking for more options Alagon (just on the other street of this hotel) advised us to use Grab for travel. Which was a lifesaver. 5) When we asked for currency to be exchanged (Dollars to Dong) - The receptionist emptied his own pockets to give us the money and said he did not enough. How is that legal?? He did not give us the rate or even opened the hotel's money drawer. It was like he was transacting with us. Not the hotel! 6) The hotel is dull and gloomy. We requested for an upgrade or even a different room to get better sleep. We were given a road facing room which was full of traffic whole day and night. The receptionist (this time a female) said you can book online, with us expensive and we will see if we can give you. It is based on my manager. It was like pushing off business. 'I am not interested in giving you a room' vibes. Pros- 1) It is centrally located. So you can walk up to Starbucks or convenience stores. 2) Zen at the restaurant is a lovely lady who will take care of you. She wears a bow scarf and shirt pant. She was the only one who was welcoming. The days when my husband did not go down for breakfast, she would enquire about him and ask if I needed eggs prepared beforehand in case, he was on his way down. 3) Housekeeping staff is nice and helpful. 4) The room is clean with well equipped washroom. We had booked this room for 2 legs as we were doing Hoi-An inbetween for 3 days. After the

I am a repeat stayer from Singapore in this hotel. Saigonciti hotel is in a very location district 1. In this trip, I notice that the breakfast menu have improved alot. Service and staff have also improved. Value for money to stay in this 3 star hotel. Strongly recommended.

We booked two rooms temporarily, and the cost was a bit expensive (about VND 5000K). The room was small and the facilities were relatively old. When my friend who was traveling with me was looking for a hair dryer in the room, he found rotten fruit left behind by previous guests in the cabinet. The smell was very smelly. Another puzzling thing is that there are two bathrooms, but the service staff did not tell us how to use them. The overall service of the service staff was okay, and the breakfast was normal. Overall, the price/performance ratio is not very high.

Policy lousy.. We booked 2 rooms for 4 ppl .. At first we registered our child plus 1 adult for one room yet the child no stay and we want to change 2 adult per room , just 2 hours difference , staff requested us pay extra fee another 200000vnd for exchanging person ..
