Upon arriving at this hotel, we were blown away by its unique design and lovely atmosphere. The entrance with the library and sitting areas was a delightful surprise, and the selection of books catered to all tastes. The staff were incredibly accommodating and their English-speaking ability was a bonus.
Although it was located off the main street, the hotel's quiet and peaceful ambiance was worth it. It truly felt like a hidden piece of heaven in the bustling city.

Located in a quiet street, away from the city center but near the airport, making it convenient for those taking off early. Easy to call a taxi. Clean rooms with friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast with a variety of options and delicious Eastern dishes. Staff is helpful, offering services like water bottle refills and money exchange.
Some guests have complained about noise from the adjacent army base and thin walls that allow sounds from neighboring rooms to be heard.

The location was perfect for someone like me who wanted to explore Saigon's main tourist district. The hotel's breakfast was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service throughout my stay.

During our stay over Christmas, we were impressed by the helpful bellman who assisted us with a taxi issue. The comfortable king bed in our spacious room was a real standout. Additionally, the breakfast on the rooftop was tasty and offered made-to-order bowls of noodles, fresh fruit, and good coffee. The hotel's location was also ideal, conveniently situated between the airport and downtown with easy access to cabs.
While the hotel's restaurant had a nice rooftop view, the Banh Xeo we tried for dinner was not quite up to our expectations and seemed a bit overpriced for the small serving size. Additionally, the selection of Vietnamese dishes on the menu was limited.
