LA VELA SAIGON HOTEL

Best

Would stay again, Quieter that district 1

Booked it for the pool and boy it was worth every penny! Couldnt get enough of it. The breakfast was beyond great, the rooms were amazing and the massage available at the hotel was one of the best ever. Also tried one of the best bahn mi and pho in Vietnam from local stores nearby that were just a walk away.

Room is too small

At reception, Laura was cool and very helpful

Liked: Good location, excellent customer service, love the gym and the pool.. breakfast was amazing with nice view. Very quiet at night, overall 9/10!

Disliked: Only complaints are the sink in our room was clogged, door to balcony was difficult to open, and had to switch room key twice because it wasn’t working properly

Liked: Excellent hotel in a part of the city that's easy to get to and navigate around. Breakfast was great and the rooftop pool is amazing. We only stayed one night as a bit of a layover between our long haul flight and domestic flight. Would absolutely go back.

I booked two nights but checked out after one. On arrival, several bellboys were standing in the lobby while we carried our own luggage in. None of them offered to help. At around 1am I woke up being bitten by bed bugs. After that I couldn’t face another night, so I left the next morning and gave up the second night. The room has no international power sockets, so bring an adaptor. I’ve stayed in several hotels across HCMC, and some 3-star ones gave me a much higher standard of service and hygiene than this. It’s marketed as 5-star, but what I got was 1 or 2-star at best. My advice to other travellers: if hygiene isn’t a priority for you, you may be fine here. If it is, stay away.
