This hotel was booked for us as part of a private tour by car from HCMC to Hanoi. It was fairly basic and the room was very small and a little tired. It would seem they spent a lot of money on the shower recess - practically needed a license to operate it! The bed was comfortable but I found... More

We were disappointed. We have checked hotel reviews before arriving. Pros: Centrally located. Rooms are big. Cons: In room: Not enough electric sockets. We had to ask for an extra toilet paper (they put only the one in use). Breakfast - Need to get coupons for breakfast. Sometimes too many guests at breakfast, and no room to sit, juice jar... More

Location of this hotel is excellent, within walking distance of the main daily market and many shops. Had a room with 2 single beds so not much space for anything else. One suitcase had to live on the floor for 4 days. Aircon not working when we arrived but was soon fixed by a handyman and his trusty ladder! Shower... More

Stayed at this hotel with my family as part of a tour package - the first night and the third night of our tour. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room decor was rather dated, but very neat and clean. What really we felt out of place in the room was the super futuristic shower contraption in the bathroom!... More

We stayed at Golden Central for two nights. The rooms are very small with very little space for keeping baggage. However it's at a nice location and central to night market and many other venues. Breakfast is adequate and some nice views. Being a vegetarian it is always a struggle in South East Asia. Staff at breakfast are pleasant but... More

This hotel is right in the heart of the commercial and fashionable centre of Saigon. The bedrooms are small but quite efficient and comfortable. The restaurant for breakfast is on the 16th and 17th floors where you get good views, of course. There were not enough staff to replenish the jugs of coffee and tea for all the guests. The... More

We are here for 5 nights total and I have to say, the soundproofing is great as we are next to the elevator shaft and only on the5th floor but our room is very quiet. We are traveling with our 2 year old which was clearly stated at the time we made the reservation and we requested a small cot.... More

Small rooms, I mean tiny! But it was clean and comfortable. Staff in the restaurant were friendly when we ordered drinks and admired the views. Staff at the front desk were ok but not really warm, as in personal. They were formal. Food for breakfast was not great, but its convenient . We stayed here for 3 nights and it... More
