    The temperature in the lift was higher than i like but who cares...

    Outstanding atmosphere of a small hotel in the real center of the city, just next to the Independence park.

    Everything was great, especially the breakfast and roof top pool.

    You need to pay an extra for a room with a window, and late checkout is not available, which forced me to pay for an additional night.

    The hotel offers excellent value for money. The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, and the breakfast is plentiful and varied. The overall experience was positive.

    That the TV froze and didn't work. Construction work going on until past 12am.

    Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was comfortable. We slept with a construction work outside that went on until past 12am which was unusual for us. Our TV worked but froze all the time. I could see that this is due to poor internet connection. Air-con was not very powerful but enough to get by. Receptionist was helpful and accommodating. Overall, it was nice for a short stay.

    The shower water would run out into the bathroom, leaving the bathroom floor full of water.

    So close to Ben Thành markets, very presentable and comfortable hotel. Room was clean and tidy. Shower pressure was good and bed was firm and provided 2 pillows. Staff were friendly and easy and quick check in. Breakfast had a good selection, was happy with the options. Had English speaking channels on the tv. The pool area is pretty, not huge but 3 separate pools , comfortable enough during the May heat.

    I tried numerous times to contact the hotel via email before we arrived but no-one ever go back to me. Lots of charges if anything is broken accidently. Got charged 500'000 VND for a make-up mascara mark on a pillow.

    We stayed as a large group of 15 with numerous room types. The hotel was in a fantastic location, 2 mins walk from Ben Thanh market. The rooftop pool was nice but it is very shallow and small, there are 2 tiny pools too. Very crowded rooftop if busy and loud music. The breakfast was really good and they will make fresh omelettes too. Staff were nice. I had a Zen room, which looked amazing and was large but the bathtub was oddly placed and designed, it was a hazard trying to get in it!

    Brilliant hotel

    The only small issue we had was that the pump on the hand soap dispenser was broken so we had to unscrew it and pour it into our hands. On one evening, it took about 10 minutes for the shower water to get warm enough to step under. This only happened once throughout our stay so it did not become an ongoing issue.

    The location of this hotel is superb. It is a 3 minute walk to the Ben Thanh Market (a massive indoor market of food, clothing and souvenirs), a 10 minute walk to the city hall, 10 minute walk to the war remants museum (a must do in HCM) and 8 minute walk to the Independence Palace (the directions via Google Maps are incorrect, you must enter the palace grounds via Đ. Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa). It is very central to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and clothing stores, particulary Vincom Center which is a huge shopping mall with everything you need. With regards to the room, we had to be moved from the initial room we were booked into as one of the lights would not turn off even after trying every switch; we did not spend the night in this room nor did we use any of the facilities (shower etc so will not comment on that). The front desk graciously moved us to another room instead where we stayed for the duration of our stay. This was a very comfortable room, with a free mini bar (this is not restocked during the stay FYI) and a large bed. There is a wardrobe that included a safe, bathrobes and extra clothes hangers. The bathroom was clean, with a spacious shower and sink area, and clean, soft towels. The shower gel and hand soap have a beautiful smell, I only wished I asked the reception if I could buy some to take home with me! Breakfast was included in our booking. Breakfast was good, I think the options available could be better however there was still pently there to make sure we were full for the day. Staff were courteous, professional, friendly and very helpful.

    I dont like Booking.com misrepresentation of the hotel like" family room with free mini bar" as one of the options when you try to choose the type of room. The hotel staff clarified that its only free mini bar for 1 day only and not the whole duration of your stay. I explained to them that the reason why i choose the hotel also is because of the free mini bar that was mentioned in booking.com. But they insisted its only free for 1 day and its not the first time that they heard complaints about it. They were apologetic also eventhough its not their fault... its booking.com and please will you rectify when you said free mini bar and its for 1day only. The standard mini bar are 2 cans of fizzy drinks, 2 cans of beer and 3 snacks. I asked them why there are only 2 cans of fizzy drinks eventhough there are 3guests staying in the room....thats the standard mini bar.

    I like the location, the zen ambiance effect outside the room, buffet breakfast serving different varieties, the staff are very accommodating and helpful. They even gave my mom a tray of fruits on her birthday .

    Little bit over priced for what it is. Staff are really nice but on the first night of arriving after flying over 8 hours to get to saigon, they rang the room after 12pm asking for some card information as they hadn’t got it when we checked in hours earlier. This was a bit inconsiderate and could have just been sorted out the next morning as we were asleep.

    The roof top pool was good. Breakfast was really nice. Rooms are really clean.
