I booked the Empress because of the need to use up points available through an online booking agent. My normal hotel, Spring hotel in Le Thanh Ton, was not available for points use. I wish I had foregone the points and stuck with the Spring! I requested a non-smoking room but ended up stuck in one that reeked of cigarettes.... more

We stayed at the Empress hotel for a night on a trip to Saigon. When we checked in the front desk was very nice and even let me use his computer to print out the voucher I had from Agoda.com. On top of that they upgraded us to a suite on the top floor, which was pretty good for our... more

From the minute I stepped out of my taxi to the moment I hit the sack on my first night I felt comfortable, safe and happy. Staff are very helpful and seem genuinely interested in your comfort and safety. They also tell you the cheapest place to buy drinking water for your room. For a budget hotel with reasonably priced... more

Junior Suite was cozy. The front desk girls just doesnt speak english well so ask the front desk men instead. Service is average but not a bad hotel to stay in. Staff is helful though and seems trying their best to please everyone. Breakfast is very ordinary but im fine with it anyway. Good enough for a 3 star hotel. more

The hotel room was actually petite but the facilities was good for the price that we pay :) and the morning breakfast was also good. they also arrange daily tours at the reception so you longer need... more

I just used the hotel as a transit hotel twice. The rooms were nice and the staff was helpful especially when I arrived late at night and left early in the morning. Location gives you a good feel of how the locals live with all the busy small alleys. You'll get your exercise going out anywhere. For a longer stay,... more

Small reasonably neat Hotel 15-20 minutes walk from the tourist district. you get what you pay for. My wife and I had no complaints at all with sevice or the food at the breakfast table. It was noisy because it is situated opposite a school which house up to 500 students all on scooters twice a day. If you want... more

This hotel is not really close to anything (except there is a handy supermarket down the road). It was a long walk or a taxi to get to the tourist sites. Our room was fine but very small, barely fitting the bed. It was clean though and sufficent for us. The bed was very hard (like most the hotels in... more
