Nice staff and convenient location

ibis Saigon Airport
As a quick stay prior to a very early morning flight, it works perfectly. Situated just outside the airport entrance, it is extremely convenient with excellent airport shuttle service. The check in staff was extremely helpful. For more than a 12-24 hour stay, I cannot recommend it.
