"Pro: swimming pool is clean, nice view of the city. Breakfast is very good with plenty of food, veggies, fruits, breakfast coffee and different juice drinks and different options for the most difficult guests. Staffs are very polite and friendly. Nice view of Saigon river. Con: no parking for cars. They have free parking for motorbikes though. Parking for cars nearby at Bitexco will cost you by the hour. For us overnight parking cost 350,000 VNĐ= $16 per night. "

"I am at a loss for words for this hotel. Everything was perfect from check in to check out. All staff are very well trained and accommodating. They readily have all the information you needed for your trip. Breakfast was varied and of superb quality. Room was sparkling clean and the bed mattress was so soft and comfortable. What sets this hotel stand out from the rest is it’s unique 24-hr feature - you can check in anytime and check out 24 hrs thereafter. You can save bucks if you arrive...

"both myself and my partner were more than happy to call this place home for 7 nights. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and the staff was nearly flawless. Surprisingly the breakfast was worth the cost. Rare now a days. 1. Needs more amenities on site. 2. Massage services double what you pay 1 block away 3. We were charged for a private tour when we asked for a group tour (double the cost)"
