Top Downtown Ho Chi Minh City Hotel Reviews

GRAND HOTEL du LAC Boutique Saigon

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and beautiful property. Everybody was very helpful and friendly and we will definitely return."

Sheraton Saigon Grand Opera Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here and enjoyed our stay very much. We can't speak highly enough of the hotel and it's staff. The location was central to everything and easy for tour pick ups as well. Both the staff and the facilities at this hotel have been the best experience we have ever had. Book the Lounge access/rooms, it was well worth it. The Lounge staff were amazing and made us feel very well taken care of. We had a lovely dinner at Li Bai restaurant and relaxing massages at Evolve spa. The hotel facilities were great including a well equipped gym and Pool area. Hotel management were very helpful as well with any queries we had before and after our stay. All in all great value for money. We will absolutely stay here again."
