Good location but noisy
New sound-proof windows would be advisable. And maybe a shower curtain. One of the power outlets didn't work either. Location is good though and price is ok. Friendly staff.

Close to nightlife
Clean room, shower was spacious. Had two queen beds to myself. I had a room with a window that overlooked a wall I could touch but I didn't care. I only use the room to sleep. Staff friendly and accommodating .good value for money . Only thing is that sometimes can be noisy due to some music nearby but it was actually pretty quite considering the location. I will definitely stay here again!

Dragon Palace 3 - definitely not a palace.
This is their newest hotel but if it is the best, avoid Dragon Palaces 1 & 2. I haven't seen them. The write-up and photos lead one to expect more. Our room was very cramped: one 18" wardrobe with rod aligned front to back instead of side to side; only a warm duvet to sleep under -- no plain top sheet available; one pillow each; tiny bathroom: no hot water, the only mirror is above the sink; "balcony" is 2' x 2'; traffic & music noise till 2am+. Positives: Best surprise was very good breakfast buffet with many options except cereal and real fruit juice; aircon and Bombay fan work; bed and pillow comfortable; mini fridge works; lobby clean and inviting (except when the staff is gathered around the magazine table eating their collective meals); 1 minute walk to Bui Vien St. In summary: you don't get what you pay for.

ants lizard, Braekfast not so good. Location good
Located beside sinh cafe. 5min cab to ben thanh market for $1 usd. Nearest supermarket is Co-op supermarket. One at 7min cab drive, one at 15min cab drive. Staff was friendly, not good with english. One lift. Triple room seems 24m2, not 35m2. Walk 3min to the food street where they sell dim sum, satay, western foods. Many pubs nearby, very noisy at night even until 1am. Shower water was too hot.

unacceptable hotel
The stay on the hotels is totally unacceptable . There is no hot water for bathing , the bed are so dirty . Worse there is only 1 bell boy that helps with all the lugguge. imagine that you have 13 person and there is not person to assit you with the lugguge? On top of this , my sister is handicapped and need wheelchair assistance. As my sister is obese , we will need support from the bell boy to carry him down to the stairs. And becasue there was not enough man power to support, my brother and sister trip and fall on the maindoor staircase. Casing my brother to have a fracture arm. We do not have this issue with Alagoon western hotel where there is plenty of support . 4 bell boy lift up the wheel chair and move my sister down the stairs with ease. The breakfast have very limited choice as well.

it was OK
This hotel has been updated, but there were definitely issues. Any time we used the sink, water exploded out of the pipe all over us. The sink was in the room, not the bathroom, so it also got all over the room. The bathroom was so tiny I could barely sit on the toilet, and I am 5'4" female. I had to sit sideways to fit. The room was clean and the bed was comfy, so I can't complain there. The breakfast was great and the staff were also very nice.

Less than a block walking dist. to Bùi Viện st.
Hotel location is great. Less than a block away from Bùi Viện street for foods and entertainments or massage. Less than 15 mins walk to the famous Ben Thanh Market. Room was OK but saw some ants on the desk and in the bathroom. Breakfast items include both western and local selections which were good.

Room was tiny and not like photos!!
The room we booked was nothing like the photos, this hotel was meant to be 3 star and was not at all close!! Bathroom was tiny and the shower was over the toilet and poorly designed so the whole room would get wet. Aircon smelt foul and overall looked shabby. Hotel lobby looks nice but rooms are not!! Do not stay here it's such a rip off even at half price! We ended up moving to a different hotel because it just wasn't functional to be in a smelly hot room for a night. Disappointed we couldn't get a refund either because we had booked through wotif!

Disappointing
Pros: - Perfect Location - Comfy Bed Cons: - VERY small room - Bathroom is so ridiculously tiny, it's impossible to use the toilets if you're taller than 5"10 (175cm) - Not very clean - Unfriendly staff Stay there only if you have no other option. You can find a much better value anywhere next door (we paid USD $30 for 1 night, double bedroom)

Just okay
A basic review for a basic hotel. Using the booking site we have used for years, the prices were actually really high ($60 AU) for what we experienced. Hard bed (standard), nice pillows (awesome!), good sheets and okay towels, basic toiletries, some cockies in the bathroom and drain smells at night...(which isn't unusual). A shower with great water pressure but no screen, so prepare for toilet and sink and whatever is on the floor to have a good shower too ;) But, the worst was really bad, warm, stuffy air con, only made okay by the ceiling fan, seriously. We booked the 'triple' room as a couple, just because we like to have a balcony to check out the world going by. On arriving knackered after coming from Nha Trang, we were taken to what we later worked out was the only 'triple' room in the hotel actually without a balcony (Room 701). We quickly asked why there wasn't one and were equally quickly taken to a room with said balcony... The wifi was very good, the tv channels were fine, and there are plenty of food/drink options around. The Pham Ngu Lao area is always amazing for people watching, as it is for touts, over-priced drinks and hard working vendors.

Nice Hotel in our first HCM trip
OK. For a 3 star, nothing the greatest to expect. Basics are met without issue. clean, staff good smile/service, noisy but comfortable. Some rooms for improvement: 1. Breakfast is very limited; hotel shuttle we asked was actually a taxi they booked from the street, but charged at premium price. Overall, very nice experience in the hotel, as opposed to the street experience.

Great staff, clean room
We stayed for a week and the staff were so friendly and helpful! The hotel was right in the middle of the backpacker area, which was a bit of a shock at first, but we grew accustomed to the conveniences and cheap food and beer offered there. Breakfast was nice with eggs of pho prepared to order and a selection of other items available. Rooms were nice and clean.

Hotel is new but room is extremely small. Shower and toilet bowl was literally beside each other and the sink was outside the toilet! I did not like that. Only has 1 towel in the room which was weird. Plus points were the room is clean since it's a new hotel and Wi-Fi was strong. I won't complain about anything else besides the super small toilet and sink being outside.

Choose Carefully. Not for a Long Stay
The bathroom did not look like the photos. The shower was literally over the toilet. When I had to sit on the toilet my face was literally squished up against the wall because the b room was so small. The airconditioner when turned on made the room smell musty. The second side of the bed was jammed up against the wall. The hotel staff ignored the do not disturb sign and entered the room anyway while we were not there

The room had no window but didn't state that before booking (if I knew that I wouldn't have booked it). The shower was almost directly on top of the toilet. And we shared the room with a family of cockaroaches. Considering the cost (for the area) this hotel was quite disappointing

드래곤팰리스3 정말 별로입니다.예약해도 다른곳으로 이동될 수있어요.
완전 실망했습니다. 새벽도착이라 호텔스닷컴 통해 미리 늦은 체크인예정이라고 알린 상황이었습니다. 막상 도착하니 화장실이 고장이라며 드래곤팰리스2로 가라고 하네요. 드래곤팰리스2는 냄새가 많이 났고, 내가 처음 예약한 더블베드2개가 아닌 더블1,싱글1.엑스트라배드1로 이루어진 작은 원룸같은 방이었네요. 화장실이 고장나서 옮겨달라는 후기를 다른 글에서도 본적있다는걸로 보아 그게 사실이었을까 의심스럽습니다. 드래곤팰리스2의 룸 컨디션은 정말 최악이었습니다. 에어컨 고장, 옆방 소리 다들리고, 외부 소음, 무엇보다 이상한 냄새. 전 후기 남기는 편이 아닌데 이번엔 꼭 알려야겠다 싶어 후기 남깁니다. 여행첫날이 숙소때문에 너무 화가 난 하루였네요.

仕事で一週間止まりましたが、多分今回きりでしょう。 窓はあるけど無いのと同じぐらい光が入らない、 期間中のトイレの便器は一回も掃除されなかったし、 朝食も写真よりずっと内容が貧しく、こっちらも変らない、 値段重視の人には十分でしょうが、 快適さ重視なら別のホテルを探したほうが良いでしょう。

Hotel in Zentrum-Nähe
Dies ist ein angenehmes, sehr günstiges Hotel mit gutem Service. Es liegt in der Nähe der lauten Bui Vien Street und bietet dennoch ruhige Zimmer. Die Räume sind klein, aber ausreichend. Beim Duschen wird das ganze (kleine) Bad nass, da der Bereich nicht abgetrennt ist (bei der Badgröße aber auch kaum möglich).
