I am a tour organiser from India . I organised Vietnam tour from 08 may 2012 to 12 may 2012 for a group of 28 persons through a local supplier ICS. When the group checked in the hotel Grand Central, Saigon, the airconditioners in the rooms were not switched on . On enquiry with the front desk, the clients have... More

The hotel was cheap, and centrally located near the Ben Thanh Market. Most places walkable distance. The rooms were impeccably clean and nothing was too much trouble. I would advise not drinking in the bar at the hotel as it was very expensive even in comparission to other hotels of five star ratings! The breakfast had good variety and there... More

We stayed at the Golden Central for four nights. Within easy walking distance of the good restaurants, the market and various other sites like the opera house. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, breakfast is reasonable - not a lot of variety but tasty. The restaurant and breakfast room are on the top floor with stunning views and... More

The hotel is located few steps away from Ben Thanh Market. The street itself has a lot of shops to discover. Good choice for optimizing a very short trip in the city. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was disappointing, though.

The Golden Central Hotel is central and well-located but we were disappointed with it overall: the rooms were very small; it was not possible to get the BBC, Sky or CNN news; and internet access, although free, was at a computer by the lobby without seating facilities. Staff were brusque and unfriendly; at breakfast the kitchen seemed to run out... More

Central and within 5 minutes from Ban Thanh Market. Easy to take taxis there and the reception is friendly. Rooms are small though but clean.

We were a couple staying in the hotel for 4 nights. The hotel has an excellent location, you are close to the main sights like the Ben Thanh market, war museum etc. The room was not very big but clean and had everything you need. In addition would highly recommend the spa in the basement - great prices and excellent... More

This is a nice hotel within a stone's throw of Ben Thanh Market. It is an easy walk to the Saigon River. Restaurants and ATMs are near. The rooms are recently renovated (or built), modern and very clean. There are flat screen tvs with many cable channels. However, there seems to be no availability of English language news channels.

If you want to have a nice and clean hotel in HCMC center and do not want to spend the Nikko prices, this hotel is a good catch. Would choose it again for a next HCMC stay.

We loved the roof top pool at this hotel and the roof top restaurant. It was so great to eat supper and look over the city. We were within walking distance to to restaurants, shops and the ben thanh market. We went to the market in the morning and it wasn't as crowded as it is at night. Our room... More
