"Staff is very nice and welcoming, they speak good English and very helpful. The area have tons to do. We will be back!"

Silverland Ben Thanh

10/10 Excellent

"This is may be the best hotel I have ever stayed at 😭. My favorite part is waking up, going upstairs for breakfast with a bowl of pho and an assortment of fresh cut fruits and juices. Every one is so sweet, I want to come back and bring my parents! Great location, plenty of amenities and very clean."

Icon Saigon - Lifestyle Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. The most outstanding part was the staff. I happened to lose my passport while there and the staff went above and beyond for me. I don’t think I could have figured it all out without them. They treated me with so much kindness that I will remember them for the rest of my life!"

New World Saigon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very enjoyable stay at New World Saigon Hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to Ben Thanh Market, restaurants, shopping and many of the main attractions in District 1. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious, and the hotel facilities were very well maintained. We were offered an upgrade to a suite on the 11th floor, which had additional costs, but was well worth the space and view! Breakfast was a highlight, with a large variety of both local and international options. The pool area was also a great place to relax after a day of exploring the city. Overall, a comfortable and convenient hotel with great service, excellent facilities and a fantastic location."
