This was my first trip to Ho Chi MInh City and traveling alone for business so it was great to have a hotel with great service. When you check in, you have a selection of local sweets (coconut and tamarind). They try to convince you to upgrade to the executive floor but I kindly refused as I needed internet access... more

I stayed for two weeks in HCMC this month (May 2009) at this hotel. Based on advice from Tripadvisor reviews and it's location on Google Earth, it seemed ideal. It was a considerable shock to finally stay at a hotel whose website pictures match the reality. The non club level room on the 12th floor was fantastic. Altho, I did... more

I travel a lot for business and have had the opportunity to stay at some fantastic, off-the-hook hotels in China, Thailand, Philippines. I would put Vietnam into the same eco-status (for example, I couldn't compare my stays in Singapore, Korea, Japan to Vietnam). This hotel is very nice, typical Mariott experience with better staff than what one might find in... more

This hotel, like its name has suggested, is right besides the river. There are plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops and tourist attractions within walking distance. And if you are too lazy to go out for meals like me, the lobby lounge provides great lunch and dinner buffet. The hotel staff are very friendly and customer oriented making you feel right... more

The Renaissance HCMC is your standard nice Corporate Hotel, but on the river in Saigon. I found it to be a bit far from everywhere we explored, but you're talking a few blocks difference or an extra $1 on the cab meter. If a nice, Corporate Type hotel stay is acceptable to you, then stay here, if you want a... more

Stayed at Riverside for 3 nights, booked a room at exec. floor to benefit from internet. When paying 255 Dollars per night I expect anything above average and I honestly think the hotel is very overpriced and there should be far more competitive options in the city. The hotel is well below the Park Hyatt which is probably at the... more

Only stayed here one night on business but had a pleasant comfortable room. The hotel is in the centre of the city and hence very convenient. Good roof top pool. more

My company travel agent had recommended another hotel in District 1 at a considerably higher price. After researching my options using Trip Advisor, I decided to book the Renaissance which was considerably less expensive but equally highly rated by travelers. The hotel sent a car to pick me up at the airport. The driver spoke very good English and told... more

The Renaissance Riverside is a very good hotel located adjacent to the Saigon River. Rooms are either riverview or city view and to be honest the city view rooms are looking in to a 28 storey building rather than a general view of downtown Saigon. The river view is more interesting with a constant flow of traffic on the river... more
