"Wonderful stay at La Siesta Premium. Beautiful hotel with all facilities. Great variety at breakfast including made to order options and excellent coffee selections. Stunning little rooftop bar to visit if you want to stay around the hotel at night. Friendly staff, always greating guests on arrival and provided restaurant suggestions for the surrounding area. cof"

Icon Saigon - Lifestyle Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay at ICON and would highly recommend this hotel. The service was excellent, the room was clean, well maintained with a comfortable bed and easy to operate aircon that wasn't noisy. Our room was directly on the street on the 2nd floor as we booked a room with a balcony and couldn't hear any street noise which is a plus for this lively city. The hotel is very well located, the breakfast was very good with the great range of options both western and Vietnamese. It would be nice if they offered Vietnamese Coffee for breakfast, but the cappuccino's were just fine for us. I've stayed at many Saigon hotels over the years, and this hotel offers great value for money when comparing the location, service and the quality of the hotel. We would happily return again."
