“Barry's Vietnamese adventure”

I had everything I needed here and could not ask for more I would recommend the restaurants traditional Vietnamese beef noodle pho, (delicious)

“Adequate”

Hotel with all necessary amenities. Internal rooms with no windows. Only one very slow lift for a 12 floor hotel. Used by large tour groups - so lift and breakfast were a problem if you clashed with their arrival/departure timings. Location OK for a big city with lots of districts.

“Ok for a budget hotel”

First room had false ceiling panels around the perimeter and something was definitely scurrying around up there, geckos maybe? Asked for room to be changed and this was taken care of immediately. Got a room with a concrete ceiling and no false panels so that problem was taken care of. The water backed up in the wash hand basin after only a short time. Power outage in the night and took 5 mins to come back on, so no backup generator available. Dont know how common outages are in Saigon? Receptionists very friendly and helpful and gave advice on sight seeing and which markets to go to. Concierge will hail a taxi for you and give the driver instructions were to go and an average indication of cost. Breakfast was good with some unusual dishes for a breakfast i.e spaghetti bolognese, pork stew, chicken and rice. Fried eggs and omelettes cooked to your satisfaction. A lot of midges around the computer area in reception which could have also been kept much cooler.
