“Highly recommended! Value for Money!”
Had switched from a so-called 5 star hotel after a few days of stay in HCM and if I had not known better, I would have thought this was the 5 star hotel instead. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive! (ok, not all but I would not let 1 or 2 who are not very friendly looking take credits off those who really excelled). I changed room 3x before settling on one I liked and the staff were patient and had the right attitude about it. The change was due to it being on the low floor and other being without a balcony, nothing to do with poor maintenance etc. Kudos to the staff! something the 5 stars hotel can learn a thing or two from? The place was very clean, very satisfied on that account. The lift could do with a little upgrading as there is only one lift and kinda slow. As my room was facing the pub and the street, it was a little noisy but it was bearable. Would definitely stay in this hotel if I do go back to HCM. Ben Thanh market was walking distance away, big round on cab, so walk, that will be a better option. Only disappointment is I could not find a massage place. Dropped by nearby hotel but was not comfortable when I was told that I had to pay 2x tips on top of the amt for the massage. I also noticed that all the patrons walking in and out were men, so decided against it. Tailoring an au yang or cheong sum, there are some shops just round the corner that offer pretty decent prices (at least to me).
