I have stayed here many times and normally it's an excellent stay. They messed up my room reservation and I received a terrible room with no balcony. Nothing to view or have a smoke if needed. I always ask for a balcony and this should be a matter of record at this point. I requested a balcony when I booked the room. This stay was disappointing.

Asa muslim traveller, the grand mosque is just a door steps and also halal saigon restaurent just beside the hotel. If want to go to shoping ben thant market and malaysia street about 2km. Easy to get grab. Breakfast if not cheaper better dont take because only eggs, bread, fruits and cerial. Other is non halal. Better bring your own food coz food is very expensive.

Nice and helpful hotel staff. Dated room that needed some TLC including a slightly moldy bathroom. Room facing the street was a bit loud at night. But somehow it was my best night's sleep on the trip so I can't complain too much.

Pleasant hotel. Great location. Terrific staff.
This hotel was a great start to our holiday in Vietnam. Our room faced the street and had great views of the city. The only problem was the constant traffic noise and noise of people driving past using megaphones advertising things for sale in the early hours of the morning. Perhaps double glazing on windows might help keep the noise down so residents can sleep at night

Good service, excellent location!
The staff at Saigon Hotel were excellent. We were very pleased with our stay. We had booked 4 nights initially and one additional night after a visit to Hoi An and the hotel agreed to hold our bags for when we return. They also gave us the same rooms when we got back. The hotel is located in the Dong Khoi area and is ideal to walk around to many restaurants, places of interest like the GPO, Town Hall, Opera house, Notre Dame cathedral etc. The breakfast buffet had a mixture of continental and Asian food, the rooms were clean and well maintained. We would go back there any time.

Horrible WiFi, Fake Fitness Center
After a bad budget hotel on arrival at HCM City, I needed on returning from the Mekong Delta a first-class hotel for an internet and email catch-up, and a few aerobic workouts. The Saigon Hotel failed to deliver on both needs, falsely advertising on Hotels.com, and spoiled my visit. Their WiFi was very difficult to connect to, VERY slow, and frequently disconnected. A nightmare. Management promised a fix but did absolutely nothing. The Fitness Center is a 5m x 12m space with only 3 machines. No Elliptical despite that being the #1 machine in fitness centers; no benches, no free weights. With my orthopedic limitations I went back to my room.

A great stay at Saigon Hotel
Great value for money in Saigon. The location is great, close to many restaurants, spas and attractions. We walked everywhere while here for 4 nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and room were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was different each day but always consisted of made to order eggs and pho soup - delicious! The only two minor down falls were that the room had a musty smell and you could hear the noise of the street (although not an issue until the morning as the street is fairly quiet). Overall, a great stay and I would recommend!
