After much dithering about whether to go for the Hyatt or Legend, we decided to try this non-chain hotel. It is exactly that. A unique and special experience. Upon entering it is over the top: towering atrium ceiling in stained glass, lots of marble, ornate furniture. All in perfect repair and gleaming. My first thought was, this was what great hotels used to look like before we were all convinced minimalism was cool. A quick two minute check-in and we were in our room.

The entry to the room is all white with marble floors and gives a feeling of spaciousness. We were on a high floor and had a great view of the river. The bedroom area is carpeted which looked almost brand new. Lots of TV choices. The bathroom was comfotable athough not super new type but housekeeping was amazing and it always felt really luxurious with the wonderful towels which another viewer already commented on. Robes, slippers and amenities were high quality. We had room service once. It arrived quickly, was excellent and reasonably priced.
Breakfast was included. We ate it in the garden next to the pool. The Legend has the only ground level garden with towering palms and flowers in Ho Chi Minh. We lingered over breakfast at least 2 hours every day. A huge selection of breads and pasteries. My favorite were the petit pain au chocolat and the mango bread. Also a good selection of European cheeses and pates and terrines. Waffles, pancakes and omlettes were all freshly made and there was a huge baked ham every morning. There was even moussaka and a great Silcilian basil chicken dish one morning. Huge pots of coffee were delivered promptly. A wonderful break from workday breakfasts.We enjoyed the pool that seemed to be almost empty and the fitness facility had about 20 pieces of equipment, next to the pool so very convenient. One need not go back to the room. There are lockers so to the gym, pool, then shower and back into regular clothes. The spa next to the pool was reasonably priced for a hotel (only marginally more than downtown and certainly much more salubrious) and the massage was excellent.

Small things like live music, traditional and classic, gave the hotel an old world charm. Also, we were given 8 PM checkout without one bit of hassle and no charge. The Legend is only 10 minutes on foot from downtown and is a real oasis to come back to. We paid $127 on Agoda and I consider this the bargain of the year. All staff were excellent. Someone always rushed to press the elevator, taxis were ordered by the doormen quickly and we also arrived without any hassle, breakfast staff were extremely attentive and the breakfast food display was perfectly maintained. It made one feel we were really stepping out of daily life. A rare find. We'll be back.

A river view room on the 10th floor, we experienced great service, and really enjoyed our stay! The breakfast was varied and most definitely 5 star, staff were always very helpful and friendly. 10 mins walk to main shopping area or 5 mins in a taxi.

We were travelling with a 3 month old and 4 year old and staff were always very kind, attention to detail was much appreciated, including adding a additional soft comfortable chair to our room (unrequested) which we assume they had provided to make our lives easier with the late night feeding.

We had a 3.30am checkout and the hotel provided us with breakfast boxes to take with us, this was an unexpected surprise.

Overall an enjoyable stay would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

We stayed here for 3 nights after much deliberation on where to stay in HCMC. The Legend Hotel is quite expensive but it is worth every penny. The staff were friendly and efficient. There was a minor hiccup at check in though, when the receptionist made quite a show of two women checking in and requesting for a double bed as opposed to 2 single beds, which made us feel quite uncomfortable. However, they ackowledged our request for a high floor and non smoking room.
The room was spacious and comfortable. The toilet was a tad small with the fancy Japanese toilet with heated seat and bidet. The towels were exceptionally fluffy and so was the duvet. The bed was extremely comfortable. House keeping staff were friendly and polite.
Breakfast buffet had a good selection of asian and western options but the standard was ok. We had the dinner buffet at the hotel for USD35 per person. It was fantastic value and included a good selection of seafood and even a foie gras station! We did feel a bit ill the next day though. We're not sure if it was from the food or over eating! We also received complimentary airport transfer and half day city tour.
There were little things which really impressed me about the hotel apart from the fluffy towels. Example when house keeping couldn't come into the room as we decided to stay in all day, they left a little note to apologize for not making up our room. Whenever we arrived back at the hotel with a taxi, the bell boy would check to make sure we got our exact change and give the taxi driver evil looks if he tries to pull a fast one. The hotel also had a policy against bringing in prostitutes into the hotel. We got our daily newspapers without having to specially request for them. Will definitely be back if we can afford it!

I love this hotel. It is a five-star, but if you take you time and show around you can get great rates. Yes there are cheaper hotels, but as everything else in Ho Chi Minh is so cheap already splash out and stay here.

I have stayed here four times, and I will book my flight around their availability.

The rooms and big, clean and spacious (ask for a river view above ten floors). The breakfast is the best I have ever scene at any hotel, lots of western food if you wish.

The lobby area is beautiful and the staff are fantastic. A motorbike taxi from here to the main shops is just $2.

If this hotel was in Toronto or New York City, I could never afford this. Simply a fantastic hotel.

Oh, and a huge private pool that is to die for.

Legend Saigon is an excellent hotel, their staff being the best part of the whole experience.

There was some confusion about our reservation which they couldn't locate when I called them from Hong Kong where I was stranded for a day. When I checked in on the following day, the Assistant Manager met with us personally and apologized for the confusion and upgraded our room in compensation for the tension they put us through.

The hotel itself is very clean, the staff very friendly and ever helpful and the breakfast spread needs to be seen and tasted to be believed. They close breakfast at 10 am which is sensible. Otherwise, I may have sat there eating it for lunch and dinner.

  • Liked — The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff
  • Disliked — I didn't find much to dislike.
