“Highly recommend”

Great hotel for the price and we enjoyed it very much. This is a 3-4 star hotel with a basic lay out but was very clean and the staff are very good. It has a clean pool,sauna,spa,gym and a massage was available for a fee. The new bar area on the ground floor is very small but quite quaint and is the perfect way to spend an afternoon just kicking back with a cocktail and watch the people and motor bikes go buy, this is in air conditioning and although on the main road very quiet. This hotel is in the perfect location in district 1 as it is just 10 minutes to the Sigon river or the Ben Thanh market and only 1min to Dong kohi street for up market shopping.The breakfast was fantastic with both western and asian food a plenty and the Tax store right next door made shopping for almost any thing easy and it's airconditioned.

“Friendly hotel in central Saigon”

We were very pleased with our experience at Kimdo Royal City. As a family of 5 we found it hard to find a hotel that would let us stay as a family in one room booking but this was no problem at Kimdo. The rooms are reasonably large, a bit old but clean and well-maintained. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was large and had good variety of Asian and Western foods. We stayed over the New Year holiday and the hotel had a free party for guests on New Years Eve which added a nice touch to the vacation. The location can't be beat. We would stay here again.

“Reasonable rate in good location”

Service was great, staff were all friendly. Only downside was that room was a bit dark and location of aircon made it not very effective. Room rate was special rate which made it very reasonable compared to other hotels. If normal rate it probably would have been overpriced.

“Good location with nice breakfast buffet”

Very good location -- walking distance to Ben Tanh market, river and surrounding areas. Good selection in breakfast buffet. Wireless and wired internet is included in the hotel room, which is nice and convenient. However, the room is a little old and outdated. No good and comfortable desk to use your laptop in the deluxe room -- use the nightstand which also act as a table -- room is average size at its best. Forget the spa and massage offered by the hotel -- all the packages and different types of massages describe in the brochure are not available after the renovation as claimed by the working staff -- only a regular massage is available -- feel like a bait and switch strategy.

“Good location, older style hotel in District 1”

I stayed at the Kimdo Royal City Hotel during a business trip. The wireless internet access was important to me, and worked well throughout my stay. The breakfast buffet was nice, and I found a good mixture of foods that let me try out local food as well as some western favorites. The location is good for a walk in the evening or sightseeing in district 1. I especially enjoyed the woodwork of the floor, furniture, and doors. While the rooms are not large, they have a charm that was a nice change from the usual hotel rooms that one often stays in. A small criticism - the mattress was much harder than I prefer, but others might prefer it that way. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and most spoke English fairly well. If my travels take me to Ho Chi Minh City again, I'll be happy to stay in this hotel.

“A hotel with one of the best locations in Ho Chi Minh City”

This hotel is located in a very good location, very near to popular shopping places, restaurants, and cafes. Room interior is a bit old and the lighting on corridor is a bit dim, but it is not a problem to me. Breakfast menu is good with quite a lot of variety.

“Good location & breakfast”

Kimdo was very conveniently located and was a short walk from most of the attractions. The breakfast (included in the room rate) was very good and provided a wide spread of Western and Vietnamese food.

“Excellent Experience”

We had the buffet breakfast which offered a very extensive selection of Vietnamese and American food. The location is ideal and is one block from the Rex and Continental Hotels which are at least $100 more expensive per night. Fitness center and indoor pool were good. Staff very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

“Very comfortable place to stay. Recommended!”

Wife and I stayed here 3 nights, 18-21 January 2009. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel had very popular decorations fronting it for the upcoming Lunar New Year. You just cannot beat the location. Walking distance to many tourist sites, shopping and restaurants. Plus, it is reasonably priced. Great deal for the buck. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The staff was courteous and helpful. Recommend you use their airport pick-up service. Very reasonably priced Mercedes Benz pick-up and well worth it if you have never been to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) before. I have paid a lot more for just a regular taxi in Honolulu for the same distance. Warning: some of the taxis are crooks. For return to airport, use their recommended metered taxis services or book their Mercedes Benz again. Excellent restaurant named Lemongrass, directly across the street from them on a side street. Do not remember the street name, but you cannot miss it.

“Good value for a convenient location”

Close to Dong Khoi Street yet the price is quite reasonable with complimentary high speed internet connection. Overall, good value for a convenient location.
