Good value, comfortable hotel with great facilities.
Pros:

Great rooftop bar and swimming pool. Excellent service from the staff. Very comfortable room.

The hotel is a couple of km’s from the City centre.
The building is starting to look a bit tired for a modern hotel.

Convenient location
Pros:

Central Location. We were placed on 23rd level in a twin room which was quite big.
Great rooftop pool, and the breakfast which we included had plenty to choose from

Cons:

That you could only get a buffet dinner, Chinese or Italian. No A La Carte - which some nights we would have preferred to stay in and just have a simple meal.
Didn’t know there was a casino within the premises, so this made it exceptionally busy also

Embracing the beauty of the chaos!
Pros:

I actually really loved the hotel by the time I left. I wasn't really impressed to begin with - the checking in process was long and they kinda forgot about me. It also initially felt dated. But it was such a convenient location to get grabs from and it was actually cute when I embraced the enviroment. The bathrooms were nice and the bed was big - it was all clean which is the one thing I like. The corridor was a bit messy and dirty but my room was clean. Also some random person's driver's license was used to keep the lights on in the card slot which was funny. It was just that kind of wild, makeshift attitude that kinda matched what makes Ho Chi Mihn so nice. Would go back, would recommend.

Cons:

Service was a bit chaotic but still good - it just took a while to get things moving.

Excellent Stay with Incredible Views
Pros:

Excellent Stay with Incredible Views

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. Our Corner Deluxe Room offered amazing views across the city, and we particularly loved the open-plan bathroom, which added to the luxurious feel of the room.

The staff were exceptional throughout our stay. We were warmly greeted by the manager on arrival and personally escorted to our room, which was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome from the start.

The pool area was outstanding, both during the day and at night. Despite the hotel's popularity, we were always able to secure sunbeds, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the facilities.

One of the highlights of our stay was ordering room service each evening. Enjoying dinner in our room while overlooking the Ho Chi Minh City skyline was a wonderful experience and made our evenings particularly memorable.

Breakfast was buffet-style and could be busy at peak times, but there was a good selection available and this did not detract from our overall enjoyment.

Checkout was quick and easy, and we were able to relax in the lobby before our taxi arrived outside. A special shout-out to the door persons, who was always friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our stay.

Overall, a superb hotel with excellent service, stunning views and great facilities. We would not hesitate to stay here again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cons:

The lifts could be busy at peak times, although this was only a minor inconvenience. Access to the pool area involved a number of steps, which may be challenging for some guests, and it's worth watching your head in a few places. However, once we discovered the access lift, getting to and from the pool was straightforward and no longer an issue.

Pros:

Excellent hotel in a part of the city that's easy to get to and navigate around. Breakfast was great and the rooftop pool is amazing. We only stayed one night as a bit of a layover between our long haul flight and domestic flight. Would absolutely go back.
