Royal Hotel Saigon

Friendly staff both front desk and breakfast staff - housekeeping kept our room clean everyday, delicious breakfast, breakfast area looks elegant, spacious bedroom, bathroom very clean~ lobby is nicely curated- enjoyed the gallery full of paintings done by local artist, beautiful chandeliers…it may look old world to some but isn’t that better than a chain hotel, sometimes it’s nice to experience different things- and oh welcoming drinks upon arrival 👍 very refreshing and welcoming, near areas we wanted to explore. Pool is nice! Enjoyed people watching on the front patio drinking Saigon beer :) - definitely 💯 percent pleasant stay.

The location is great. The reception area has a great vibe - loved sitting in it watching the people walk by! The room itself was spacious and clean. Bed was not too hard. My and her reception team are great - very helpful and go the extra mile with arranging check in, a taxi and general information. Nhan who greets you at the front door and at breakfast is perfect at his job. Talking of breakfast - it’s very good. Lots of choice and well presented. The pool is half undercover which is a godsend in the hot weather!

Breakfast was included in our cost and was a lovely buffet (though would benefit from more variation from day to day) and terrific views of the area. Staff try to find answers to questions. The room was relatively fresh considering the hotel's age, as well as roomy and comfy. The boulevard outside is lovely and when we were there in early March there was an annual festival going on. We loved the atmosphere and the quality of music and dance. Nearby are some important monuments and a significant number of other key buildings including museums, markets and gardens. The surrounding location of this hotel somewhat avoided the worst of hazardous road-crossing.

The room was very comfortable and while I had a window, it looked out onto a cement wall. But to be honest, I didn't care, it was natural light into the room. The room was modern and was well appointed. There was a diverse range of breakfast options and I appreciated the choice. I really liked the cook while you watched egg station. The staff were super friendly. I would like to shout out a than you to the housekeeping staff and the door staff for their more personal interction with me during my stay. That is not to say that the reception staff or restaurant staff were lacking, it just is I had a more personalised experience with the other staff. I never used the pool so can't comment. The hotel is situated in a big pedaestrian area which is closed off the traffic on weekends for families and events. I loved this aspect and brought a smile to my face to step out of the hotel and join families having and happy time together. For me this truly reflects Ho Chi Minh's vision of a Vietnam that is community focussed under the confucius foundations. Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would happily recommend to others and It will be on my list for the next time I come to Vietnam. Maybe 2026.

The Front Office Manager, Nguyen Thi Thuy My, and her colleagues was nothing but fabulous to us from the day we arrived up to the day of our departure from the hotel. When we arrive roads where closed due to 50th reunification anniversary and My went out of her way to fetch us so we arrive the hotel Safely. She’s an asset to the hotel. Definitely I recommend this hotel to anyone going to Vietnam. You’ll feel comfortable. Everyday they clean the room, refill water and coffee. Breakfast was limited though but if you like Vietnamese food you’ll love it. The location is near in everything you need. Everything is walkable. Front desk staff are accommodating.
