The BongSen is ideally located for getting a feel of the old city center. The quality is so-so -- we had a room without any windows, which was good for noise control, but does give one a feeling of living in a cave. Otherwise, the service is ok, and the breakfast is sufficient. Communication with the staff in English can... More

stayed for one night out of a booked 3, left early morning first morning. room was so overpriced for what it was. true it had everything you wanted but at 60US a night i expected alot more, was very surprised they were charging such a high price. the staff ignored on every occasion we asked for help and made incredibly...

I have been staying 3 nights in this hotel last september. The location is great of course, in the old Catinat street just in the very center of the city. The main value of a hotel is the quality of your sleep. If you choose a bedroom with view on the backyard, no noise will disturb you but you will... More

I travel to Ho Chi Minh City about every other month for business and have been staying at the Bongsen Hotel for more than 3 years now on and off. Staff is very welcoming, the rooms are clean and have free wifi and good selection of cable channels, and there is a good selection of food in the two food... More

I chose this hotel with some trepidation because of previous reviews, but i needed a mid-range hotel located close to the Duxton. I was extremely happy with my choice. Saigon does not have a lot of mid-range choices so it was quite difficult choosing. I must have been in a renovated room, as my room was really quite modern -... More

This was our 2nd stay at the Bong Sen and like what other reviewers have mentioned, the best thing about this hotel is the location. It's along one of the most upmarket streets in town, and within walking distance to the main tourist sights. We had pretty good service throughout our stay, and breakfast was good. We stayed in a...

This hotel came as a recommendation by a friend, but turned out to be quite disappointing. We booked two rooms. Even at the early-bird price, I think I would have gotten better value from a 2-room serviced apartment. PROS: The location was great - right opposite the sheraton too and close enough to the Opera House that we could pop... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here on our trip through Vietnam, with the last few days in Saigon. With the exception of the location and the help of the bellmen, this hotel left a lot to be desired. The front desk service was poor, the room was dirty, the bathroom a bit scary and the "balcony" was dirty. We had... More

My trip to Vietnam was great. My girlfriend and I found the people to be amazing and customer service throughout the country to be outstanding. We could not the say the same for this government run hotel. Aside from the door men and waitresess in the cafe the customer service in this hotel was severely lacking. The hotel reception never...
