Having stayed earlier during the week at the Sofitel, I decided to book into the Equatorial for 1 night before flying out the next day. Hotel location is about a 10min taxi ride to the city (around 30- 40,000VND by taxi). Room is clean and quiet, however I was horrified upon checking out that a can of coke was 96,000VND... more

Stayed at this hotel for 4 night it was brill staff were very nice but had a bit of difficulty with the language barrier but no probs. the whole of the hotel was clean and the pool was great. Outside of the hotel was like walking into another world but we walked around and the people were amazed to see... more

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saigon for over a week. We spent 9 days here for my birthday and had a truly unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to have a room that opened up onto the pool area which I absolutely loved (I hadn't been in a swimming pool for about 10 years and am... more

Top hotel in the middle of lots of little grotty shops/units making bits for motorbikes etc.Lobby bar a little expensive but they do have happy-hour,although we were still the only two there.If they dropped the prices a little perhaps there would be more customers than staff.To get to the centre you need a taxi which are cheap, but once you... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in February 2009. The Equatorial Hotel has large rooms, air con fixed at 25c, but you cannot adjust it yourself, duvet only so we found it too hot under duvet, but too cold without duvet. Good breakfast. No free wifi, wifi costs $12 per hour. But 30-45 minutes walk to town if you can... more

We have enjoyed staying in Equatorial (club deluxe) for 3 nights and wished there were more. It was a real delight! The hotel is luxuriuos, very stylish and comfortable. We can't but mention how convenient club system is. The staff is very well trained, very attentive, polite, tactful, friendly, and - what is extremely important - they all speak English... more

I was recommeded this hotel purely for business reasons, near my meeting locations. I think my room on the 9th floor was renovated, as there was the flat screen tv. And luckily for me, the construction noise on the 10th floor which a previous reviewer described has disappeared, and maybe the 10th floor renovation is completed. The lobby restaurant also... more

We did not have a good start to our time at this hotel. Arriving lunchtime, jetlagged after a long flight, we just wanted an hour or two's sleep in our room. Our rep had said there might be a bit of noise, but we were unprepared for the continuous drilling, banging and hammering that appeared to be next door but... more

Finally, I was back to Hotel Equatorial's Club Floor on the 11th floor after it was shut down for rennovation for many months. You have to stay here to believe how well it was done up. I stayed at many hotels in Ho Chi Minh City including Park Hyatt. This new club floor is on par with Park Hyatt standard... more
