Excellent, well located, value for money hotel.
Good value for money hotel situated in a quiet street but in easy walking distance to main squares. It would be advisable not to be in this location during the lunar new year celebrations. The terrace bar and restaurant were closed ue to this fact. Apart from this it was excellent.

Great hotel
Location of hotel is great as many of tourist sights are within ten minutes by foot. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast is decent but could do with more vegetarian options or at least have veggies cooked without fish sauce! I would stay here again if in Saigon as it was affordable but service was good.

An Adequate, but Not Outstanding, Hotel
The reoccurring theme at the May Hotel was a luxurious exterior that, when examined further, leaves a bit more to be desired. The hotel appears grand and luxurious, but that it saw it's best days maybe 20 years ago. Rooms are nice, but small compared to other hotels we have stayed in throughout Vietnam. The breakfast that was offered was fine, a good mix of local and international dishes that we've come to expect at hotels like this that cater to an international crowd. We were greeted promptly at the front desk by a bell boy who was happy to take out luggage, but he lingered uncomfortably trying to sell us on excursions from the hotel and waiting for a tip. We could not manage to make our room phone make local calls and, when we went to the front desk to try to make a call, they again strongly encouraged us to book our excursion with them. Overall, our experience at May Hotel was fine. The room was in good condition, the staff was able to flag us a cab and fulfill all the basic duties of a hotel. But, after staying at places in Vietnam that were less expensive and had much better service, I would recommend you shop around a bit more if you're hoping to be wowed by your hotel stay.

For mid to lower priced accommodation May hotel suited us fine. Staff were friendly and helpful, we paid extra for a late checkout, organised a tour through them, breakfast was lovely, plenty to choose from. The room was neat and clean, the shower in our room was interesting as it was over a bath, but, it was nice to be able to have a bath.

Convenient location in the Japanese section of District 1. Breakfast is decent, room is nice sized, staff is nice and helpful but you get the feeling the front desk are watching you to make sure you aren’t sneaking something from the mini-bar, cranking the A/C too high, or causing some other kind of trouble. The pool is awful - murky and used by the local swim club for kids’ lessons. Big fans are running all the time, and it’s all very rundown looking. The lobby is the nicest part of the place.

Great location
This hotel was brilliant! I arrived a day early due to incorrect booking and they were kind enough to accomodate me at 2am for a small fee. Excellent and friendly staff. Close walking distance to everything, with grab motorbikes/cars closeby, the taxi service. Slightly expensive spa across the road, but great service and a cafe on the corner and tiny convenient store two doors down. Within the district for tours so perfect location! The only minor downfall is the checkout bill, pay attention to what they charge you in case the amount is wrong as in my case! But overall fantastic experience, would highly recommend!

Awesome location
The location of May hotel is fantastic along with employees that work there. This hotel is in the heart of district one and walking distance to all the good shopping. Right across the street is My spa which is 12$ for one of the nicest hot stone hour massages you will ever have. Go here!! For the price this hotel rocks! The hotel rooms are small but clean and the breakfast buffet consists of fresh fruit, bacon, egg station, local food (soup,pork,dumplings), and an assortment of breads. This hotel was built in 2005 and may need some updating but it was clean. The indoor pool is ok but always crowded. The sauna was a nice touch though. If your like me and spend minimum amount of time in your room this is the hotel is for you. If you spend most of your time at your hotel I’d book elsewhere or spend 40$ for a 4 hour spa package at my spa across the street.

Comfortable and quiet
We spent 4 days right in the centre of the backpackers area and it was very interesting but noisy and nerve racking with all the motor bikes so when we couldn't get out of the city because of TET, (no flights available) we moved to the May and enjoyed the quiet and the swimming pool. This hotel is still within walking distance of most spots.

Good Mid-Range Hotel -no pool
The room was comfortable if a bit on the small side. It was plenty noisy, but I think that is just Ho Chi Minh City. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpful. The only major downside was the pool. My husband and I like to relax by the pool after a hot day of sightseeing, cool off and have a few drinks. Every time we went to this pool, it was full of children getting swimming lessons. We were relegated to a small wading pool while the cacophony of children rang around us. Not relaxing for adults, but if you have kids this might be a great place to go.

Decent but there's room for improvement
I had a rather enjoyable time at ho chi minh, and may hotel was good too. it was quite new and cosy but there are some rooms for improvement. Firstly, the internet was not strong at all. it may even disconnect at some points. Secondly, i paid for an extra bed and it was a foldable one and was really uncomfortable for me. The bedsheets felt waxy and it was to my total discomfort. The room was also too small. Other than these few things, i had a decent experience at may hotel and i would certainly recommend it to any of you out there. thanks

Nice staff and clean hotel. Great location walking distances to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Only bad thing was I was asleep and my fiancé left to grab food. A staff randomly came into the room for no reason and kept apologizing because she was caught in action. I was told hotel employees in Vietnam like to go into rooms and steal stuff luckily I was there but when we're not in our room we put valuable stuff in the safe box

Understanding the deal????
I never understand the deal with drinking water. There is some given complimentary (free) here, but not sure at which point I start paying for it. I went to seven eleven across the road and bought 6 x 1.5 litre bottles to make sure I didn't fall into any traps. Agoda, your review form should have a category for entrapment, ie, getting money off guests following ambiguous explanations by staff
