See bustling Ho Chi Minh City and the peaceful countryside from the river for a different perspective on Vietnam.

As the Saigon River flows down to the South China Sea, it snakes through South Vietnam, bringing with it trade and travellers. For a romantic encounter, book a floating restaurant or dinner cruise. The Ho Chi Minh City skyline by night is sure to impress. Or how about a speedboat tour of the countryside? Head upstream for a buffet lunch or temple visit on Thanh Da Island. Go downstream to explore the Can Gio Mangrove Forest and Viet Cong-dug Cu Chi Tunnels.

This place was amazing - a complete 5 star experience from start to finish. Rooms were spacious, super clean, and the bathroom smelled like a chef's kiss after a long day.

14.4/10 Exceptional! (5 reviews)
The stay would have been perfect should have we been informed of ongoing renovations in the hotel. We were also moved twice of rooms because the AC did not work... staff was so nice so i want to give them credits for that, but otherwise it was disappointing...
