"A nr perfect hotel. Lots of friendly staff which would always make the effort. Roof top pool is a nice touch and free take away drinks from the hotel lobby was an unexpected nice touch. Location is ideal nr local metro station and all the main shopping areas. Plus great for familles"

New World Saigon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Millionaire experience I travel for experiences. If it’s good food or adventure, I love hospitality. As far as hotels, New World is my favorite. It starts at the door and continues through the staff that operates as a team. I’m always amazed how I feel like an MVP when I enter the door at New World hotel Mr Quok’s concierge team is fabulous. After this trip, I made a point to get everyone’s name that had treated me the best that I’ve ever been treated, at a hotel. Thank you! Concierge team: Hưng, Phu, Thanh, Tam, Toan, Tung, Khang, Phuong, Phu"

Hotel Majestic Saigon

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming looking hotel with a grand reception area. The rooms are also generally well kept. A nice experience of classic hotel. The small sized lift are part of the interesting character of this 101 years old institute. Could have perhaps upgrade the rooms slightly to make it more in line with modern living, but not much issue with me on that. The location of the hotel is brilliant, near to many eateries and shopping area. I would stay again."

Caravelle Saigon

10/10 Excellent

"I would like to say that the hotel is amazing in itself. Everything is super clean. The maids are amazing. The spa was fantastic. The signature lounge was great. The food was very good. We enjoyed our time. In fact we extended an additional four days. I wish I could remember everyone’s name, but I would like to point out how kind they were and how considerate everyone was. It’s truly an amazing hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone and I’m sure I’ll be returning soon."

Rex Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Rex is located in the very heart of District 1 in Saigon.. moments from the Walking Street and other iconic attractions such as the Post Office and Notre Dame. The style of the hotel is quite old school with dark woods and classic design. Bed firm and comfortable with a pillow menu. Ironing set delivered via concierge available by email at all times. We had a view of the central Square which had huge screens and a buzz of traffic and tourists. Highlights - the buffet breakfast is literally 10/10 and every day the menu differs slightly. We appreciated the friendly warm staff and expert chefs preparing international and Vietnamese classics. The two swimming pools were a welcome break from sightseeing and the fitness centre has all you need for a workout. I used the sauna too which was great. The lack of sockets is always a slight issue in older hotels but we managed to charge our phones by unplugging lamps or the kettle! A convenient lighting and clock control was beside the bed. Room was made up every morning by an exceptional team of cleaners. Our only issues were around quality of sleep- the streete noise wasn't the issue, some mornings there seemed to be a 7am conference below us which was a disruption for a couple having a relaxing holiday. The curtains were not blackout which meant we awoke with the sun at 6ish, fully glowing into the room. For a 5* I'd expect full blackout curtains and better soundproofing. Overall a great stay for four nights in October."

The Reverie Saigon - The Leading Hotels of the World

8/10 Good

"Another wonderful stay at The Reverie Saigon! This is my third time staying here in two years and it is one of my favourite hotels in Asia, however, no one seemed to know that I had stayed multiple times. I believe it would have been nice touch to see the appreciation of my loyalty returned with an acknowledgement that I have stayed multiple times. I would have thought a hotel of this caliber would have this information in advance and inform the staff. Even a personalized note saying welcome back would have gone a long way! Other than that, wonderful attentive staff, great food/drink/service/ambience and location."
