When I stayed at this hotel, although it was convenient for the airport, and a nice enough hotel.. it was not convenient for all the tours, and everything closer the main city. Also it seemed more expensive for some reason, then the second hotel we stayed... The staff and service were good, except one instance when we were unable to... More

As we had an early flight to catch we stayed here. The hotel is clean and breakfasts are impressive even at 6am. The staff are very helpful and HCM city centre is only a 15min taxi ride. It even has a small casino which is worth a look.

Great value, including free airport transfers even when our outbound flight was changed and it meant a 4.30am start. They even offered to provide us with a breakfast pack. Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was suitable, clean and all amenities provided. We didn't eat at the hotel as there were lots of local places to discover in the side... More

Having been denied access to our flight, the airline (who will remain nameless) offered to compensate us, due to their error, by footing the bill at First Hotel for two nights. They informed us that this venue was a four star hotel. The hotel is situated on a busy roundabout approximately 15 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City airport, which... More

This is a great hotel for a short stop near the airport. From our welcome drink to airport drop-off, staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms are clean and facilities are good. Two thumbs up to the 24 hour restaurant that caters to every form of jet lag!

Very good value.But,more important, efficient,clean,friendly and convenient. Only one night but I'd return.Nothing to complain about really.Not much to see in the area but we dined at the restaurant around the pool and it was excellent.The place is a bit weird with casinos,receptions,multiple restaurants but it has character.

I stayed here for one night as I couldn't get a connecting flight on arrival. It fits the bill - rooms clean, if small, and the benefit of free transfers to and from the airport is valuable. Staff very friendly and efficient. Breakfast ok, nothing special, but I would stay here again in similar circumstances.

Stayed here in the new wing on our last night before flying home, close to the airport and had a swimming pool which was another reason for choosing this hotel. Airport pick up good and staff very helpful and polite, room was clean and a good size. What I did not appreciate was the restaurants were either across the road... More

Stayed here 2 nights on my business trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Booked the hotel on recommendation from our distributor but it turned out to be a bad choice, bathroom was as small as it can get..more like a standard old European property, Rooms were OK, it would be hard to find a power plug in the room! ,there...

Selected this hotel as we needed an overnight stay before flying home. Things that attracted us were free shuttle, breakfast included and a hotel with an upmarket feel on which to finish our trip at a reasonable price. Shuttle from the airport was efficiently organised by email and even though our flight was 30 mins late was not a problem.... More
