I was interested in scheduling a couple nights at a nicer hotel during my honeymoon in Vietnam this summer. Is there a particularly nice hotel in Saigon that really sticks out above the rest? Any opinions and personal experiences would be appreciated! Cheers

• adult men mainly wear collared shirts

• no one wears sunglasses

• crosswalks mean nothing

• sidewalks are for motorbikes

• ben thanh market and binh tay market are hot cramped hellholes

• the reverie hotel looks nice but is not worth staying at

• you might not get food poisoning but you probably will depending on how long you stay

• many service workers seem surprised to receive tips

• hotel swimming pools are mostly cold, and it’s hard to tell if the water is treated

Xin Chao,

I recently came back from Vietnam and wanted to share my experience staying in Vietnam's only six star hotel, The Reverie Saigon. I've never stayed at such a luxurious place before and it was amazing for the price I paid. Here's the full take on it if you're curious:

I am travelling to Ho Chi Minh in December and looking to booking a few nights at a nicer hotel for my honeymoon. Currently looking at either Intercontinental Saigon or the Reverie Saigon. Is the Reverie Saigon worth it? And are there other luxury hotels worth looking at or do you guys feel i should not even bother staying at these expensive hotels in Ho Chi Minh.

Any opinions and personal experiences would be appreciated! Cheers!

Hey, does anyone have some good hotel recommendations for saigon and also in what district to stay? (i guess 1 or 2)

I planed to book the landmark 81, i think its the highest building in town, but just double checked the prices and they skyrocketed compared to 10 days ago... now i am not sure if its worth to me to spend around 250$ per night (before it was like 150)
Somehow all big hotel chains increase their prices +20-30% since i checked last time

Been here for a while now and I am honestly SO tired of being misled by top tier hotel reviews online that turn out to be rigged or fake. Every “well-reviewed” hotel or accommodation (even higher end ones) I’ve stayed in was so terrible (or subpar at best) despite raving reviews online which leads me to believe it’s all fake and manipulated.

Then, whenever you leave an honest review or comment on booking.com or google that isn’t a 9 or 10, hotel staff will literally track you down on your personal whatsapp or e-mail to emotionally blackmail you urging you to delete or edit your comment, or worse! They will even threaten you!

Pictures on websites are insanely misleading too and idk why but staff always give off this insanely fake vibe with weird fabricated personas they sport because they they think this somehow pleases tourists? (Spoiler: IT DOES NOT, everything just feels pretty off and not genuine at all).

All very exhausting. I’m leaving Vietnam soon and couldn’t be happier to leave this all behind me.

Sorry I just had to rant for a moment after countless disappointing experiences.

I’m going to Vietnam in January and I’m looking for a nice hotel to stay at. I have been there before and I stayed at the Silaverland hotel. I liked the location but this time I am traveling with family that haven’t been to VN. Is there a hotel that is more “western” within the area of Binh Thanh? Is Binh Thanh still a thing with the night markets and food?

Been tracking the room rate for the Xmas holiday and tempting to lock in the price but not sure if it’s worth the money

I want to make my gf a surprise and book 1-2 nights in extremely calm, beautiful, luxury.. what can you recommend? Or also some rare airbnbs/apartments/tiny houses where everything is glassed within ricefields or smth like that… I hope u get me :D Thanks!

Hi all, my parents in their late 60’s will be coming to visit Saigon in October would love some suggestions of nice hotels with nice amenities and food, good service.

thank you!

I’m booking a trip to Vietnam in April-may and having an absolute nightmare with hotels on Booking.com - all have thousand of reviews with no ratings below 9 and all AI images. It’s an absolute minefield to manage. Google and Tripadvisor seem no better with giving ‘real life’ photos. They just seem to be impossible to find!

Any tips would be appreciated

Anyone got tips for Hotels in the Vietnam city of Ho Chi Minh? Not much on offer with just three options.

Budget $100-$200/night. I’d like hotels where I can walk around to Nguyễn Huệ etc. thank you!
