A romantic and gentle stay in a beautiful central icon
Pros:

Had a wonderful stay in this lovely hotel. Beautiful airy and immaculate rooms, gracious architecture and an unbeatable location. The hospitality was top notch, with friendly, helpful staff. I enjoyed a great breakfast under the ancient frangipani trees in the inner courtyard - all very civilized. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to stay in this landmark overlooking the Opera house and enjoy the lovely service.
It is an old hotel and I congratulate the team on the level of maintenance you are achieving, these buildings require much love and attention.
I would highly recommend that any traveller wishing to experience the romance of old Saigon with lovely service and amenities book their stay.

Thank you for having me

Enjoy Saigon in a palace from the 19th century

Un bond dans le temps : magique !
Pros:

Rester dans cet hôtel mythique est empreint d'un charme incomparable. On est transporté dans le temps et c'est ce que j'étais venue chercher.... J'ai eu exactement ce que j'avais réservé : une chambre luxe avec balcon sur l'opéra. J'ai adoré les planchers qui craquent, les huisseries en bois qui couinent, j'ai adoré prendre mon petit-déjeuner (gargantuesque!) dans le jardin, j'ai tout aimé dans cet hôtel et si je dois revenir à Ho Chi Minh c'est là que je resterai. Par contre attention : munissez-vous de bouchons d'oreilles pour bien dormir la nuit et c'est nickel ! Mon bémol : personne n'y parle le français...

Cons:

Rien! Ah si : peut-être que les joints de la baignoire pourraient être refaits : ça paraîtrait plus clean.

Memorable - my first experience of Vietnam - indelible
Pros:

Wow - this heritage icon is a beautiful living memory of times gone by. It is faithfully maintained by its caretakers - garden inner courtyard for a gracious breakfast, gilded ceilings, airy outdoor marble passages and high ceiling rooms that have balconies overlooking the Opera House. Thank you for having me

Cons:

Nothing - it is old, it is constantly needing maintenance and you an see the effort. Honestly at this location and with this history thefa t it is accessibly priced is huge benefit that offsets any minor issues

Beautiful hotel, great location, iron needed.
Pros:

Great location, lovely building and room.
The room was set up beautifully with complimentary fruit basket and small bottles of water.

Cons:

The water pressure was dreadful making it hard to wash hair.
Although asking for an iron three times, was told it was on its way, only to then be told they don’t have any available.

Отель милый и уютный, в 2 шагах от здания театра. Локация идеальная.Персонал очень вежливый.
Pros:

Я проживала в номере 214, в котором когда-то останавливался знаменитый британский писатель Грэм Грин. Номер с высоким потолком и балконом с видом на здание театра. Мне понравилось абсолютно все и было даже немного грустно покидать этот отель, который стал одним из символов того колониального Сайгона, о котором написаны романы и сняты фильмы.
