We decided to stay at the New World Hotel at the end of our trip in HCM as we had been staying in some fairly average hotels. The service was great when we arrived. The pool and location is probably what hooked us and we spent the majority of the time lazing around drinking beers pool-side. The location of the... more

New World is a fine place in Saigon, really nice. The rooms are good, the staff is very nice and attentive, the breakfast is wonderful, and the location is great -- right between the big Ben Thanh (sp?) market and the backpackers' ghetto (which is fun to wander around.) The high life of Le Loi is just a 10 minute... more

The new world is a 4 star. The rooms are very clean but dated. Maybe it was because the corporation that booked our Executive room, or because of the Tet Holiday, but we had the best service I have ever received at a hotel. It seemed every time we turned around, there was this lady asking us by name if... more

I recommend this hotel only If you are paying less than $150 USD a night and receiving complimentary breakfast. If you are not getting these rates, go stay at the Rex Hotel or another hotel in this class. I stayed at the New World for $200 and was not as pleased as I should have been. Despite being a very... more

For a hotel that claims to be 5* hotel, I have never experience such terrible service. We were arriving late in HCM and ordered a car through the hotel to pick us up. When we arrived at the airport there was no car in sight and the representative from the hotel was not holding up his sign. When we eventually... more

Stayed here for 4 nights from the 2nd December 2008. From the start, the service was very good. While it might take a couple of goes to explain to the hotel staff things that you want, you do get there in the end. Our itinerary wathat we would leave Saigon on the 6th (for Phu Quoc Island) and then would... more

Excellent hotel if you are not interested in becoming immersed in the true culture of the country. My Vietnamese wife and I, being the more adventerous types, chose a more "homey" and smaller hotel very close to this one. Again, this is a great hotel if you are in HCMC on business. Many attractions are within walking distance or a... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3N/4D to attend a symposium. This was actually my 2nd time at this hotel, the last of which was 2003. The hotel would qualify as 5 star as far as im concerned, facilities are complete, can't question the service provided by the staff, from the doorman-front desk -room attendant and the restaurant personnel. The location... more

I was fortunate to join my husband on a recent business trip to Ho Chi Minh staying at the New World in an executive room. We found the hotel facilities and location great. The executive rooms offer a club lounge for breakfast and a nibbly buffet in the evening which was more than adequate with pre dinner drinks. Our room... more
