10/10 Excellent
"We had a very enjoyable stay at New World Saigon Hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to Ben Thanh Market, restaurants, shopping and many of the main attractions in District 1. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious, and the hotel facilities were very well maintained. We were offered an upgrade to a suite on the 11th floor, which had additional costs, but was well worth the space and view! Breakfast was a highlight, with a large variety of both local and international options. The pool area was also a great place to relax after a day of exploring the city. Overall, a comfortable and convenient hotel with great service, excellent facilities and a fantastic location."

"We loved the Lotte hotel inn Ho Chi Minh. Easy to get to everything we wanted to see, e.g the war museum, markets, restaurants etc. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal, the staff impeccable, and the facilities were perfect. The only negative was that the Lotte hotel had now spoilt me so much, I don’t think I want to stay in any other hotel chain in the future."
