5 minutes from the airport. Free pickup / return. Despite other reviews, we had no problem with that service. The one problem we had was that we booked through Agoda or something and it put down 1 person instead of 2 - and infuriatingly there was an additional charge for a second person in the room. We got in late,... More

We didn't choose this hotel but were directed to it by one of the hotel desks at Ho Chi Minh airport having arrived late at night in a thunderstorm. We took the room with some trepidation as it felt like a state sponsored hotel and didn't look great in the pictures. However it was a) very comfortable and clean b)... More

We stayed for 4 nights. Picked 2 parties up at airport at 1am. Makes coming to a new country easier. Our room was very nice, gave us an upgrade. Kept our suitcase when we did some overnight trips. Swimming pool was perfect for hot days and the kids. Had sections for both. It is a $5 taxi ride to city... More

Room is very clean and comfortable. Staffs are extremely helpful and very pleasant. Facilities, sauna, swimming pool and steam bath are cross the road. Swimming is free but you have to pay for the use of the Sauna and steam bath and you have to have a massage. The charges are double that which are stated in the hotel book... More

15 of us arrived at 10 p.m. and had to leave at 3:30 the next morning. The staff went out of their way to get us quickly into our rooms so we had more time to rest. The next morning they had packed our breakfast in take-away boxes. The door men were ready for us with the van. Our rooms... More

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids (aged 6 and 8) stayed for 1 night here - it's very close to the airport so it was a good stopover location. We had 2 connecting rooms and they were a great size. We found the staff very friendly and welcoming - they went out of their way to ensure we... More

First hotel is a perfectly decent place for a quick, close-to-the-airport overnight in Saigon. We arrived in Vietnam at 9pm and had a flight to Hanoi at 10am the next day. It was a quick 10min taxi to the hotel. Overall thoughts: The doormen/bellhop type guys were very helpful and friendly. Used Agoda to book and checking in went smoothly.... More
