Hotels near Apocalypse Now Bar in Ho Chi Minh City

Overall a good stay. Hotel was not far from the attractions of D1, relatively quieter (few vehicles pass by) & a convenience store is just opposite of the hotel, which was great. Room wise, I would suggest not to expect too much. The room we got was of a different layout from pictures attached, for a suite room, I would say it's on the smaller side. In addition, the layout of towel/clothes hook on the walls can be placed better. One of the hook was placed right at the wall area of exiting the bathtub, my partner got a small bleeding swell after hitting against it. Small issue, but can be avoided. If safety is a high priority, I would suggest going for another franchise hotel. Silverland Jolie does not have lifts with keycard only access and a front desk agent had mentioned our room number out loud in the lobby mid conversation. Hopefully the latter is an isolated situation. Bell boy was always alert and assists with doors/lifts/luggages, which was much appreciated! Other staffs are also relatively quick to accede requests, i.e. housekeeping.

Roseland Sweet Hotel is a value for money hotel; and there would be many other similar hotels easily found online. But what made Roseland stand out was one of their staff Kiet Anh, who is a bellboy, front desk, concierge all rolled into one. The week I was there, he was working everyday and all hours, I practically see him all the time whenever i'm at the lobby, whether I am going out or coming back. His bright, cheerful and friendly demeanour plus his very personal touch is on par with the service found only at the 5 or 6 star hotels. He was what made the difference for me staying at Roseland; which otherwise would be a good but pretty average hotel. Roseland is indeed very fortunate to have employed a staff like him; and given time and the right grooming would make an excellent management personnel in the hospitality industry. My choice of hotel will still be Roseland for my next coming trip, but only if Kiet is there. Thank you Kiet, for making my stay so pleasant and memorable; and thanks for helping me send my cracked handphone for repair; you really saved my life!! See you soon!

Very convenient hotel, close to the local hotspots, very friendly personnel and good breakfast. At lower floor the noise from the nearby traffic is a bit too loud, but fortunately the hotel gave us another room directly at the 15th floor, which was much better. Nice rooftop swimming pool, I'd go back to this place for sure.

After two nights in the Roseland Corp Hotel I just don’t know where to start describing this horrible experience as everything - the service, the rooms, the prices - was just so, so bad. So I just start at the beginning: We arrived on a Thursday. Arranging a pick-up from the airport was surprisingly complicated, it took several mails with the service manager for no reason but in the end there was a quite unfriendly driver waiting for us at the gate. They charged us 750.000 Dong which is way above the common taxi-rate (150.000 Dong). When we arrived at the hotel they charged my credit card for the room - twice. As the woman at the front desk didn’t understand English that well, it was quite complicated to convince her of her mistake and get the money back. The Roseland Corp hotel has an impressive entrance area. It’s nice, really. But unfortunately this doesn’t translate to the rooms. They are terrible, probably furnished in the 80s and not renewed since. They have whirlpool bathtubs made of plastic, lots of wood in the room, curtains that haven’t been washed for ages, and you can hear everything that is going on outside of your room. The first room we got smelled like cold cigarette smoke. I complained and they upgraded us to a bigger room (after we looked at a series of rooms, one of them still in use by a paying guest). But even the upgraded room was by far worse then everything we have seen in Vietnam. I wanted to cancel the whole reservation but they wouldn’t let us go. Instead they promised us the best room of the hotel the next day and we stayed. The first night was terrible. The bed had a very, very old and thus noisy spring mattress. The slightest movement made a noise. The walls and curtains had stains all over it. There’s no constant hot water, I had a cold shower in the morning. Shower and toilet happened to make weird unexpected noises. The best room in the hotel was basically the same as before but with a better view and a less noisy mattress. At this point I was ready to drink on that but unfortunately all the mini bar contained was two bottles of water. Breakfast was…well, let’s not talk about it. All of this would have been okay somehow if this hotel wasn’t so pricey. It’s like paying for a filet mignon and getting McDonalds Cheesburger. When we checked out the woman at the front desk (the same who messed up the payment) kindly asked us to sit and wait in the entrance area so she can check if everything is okay. We waited five, ten, fifteen minutes and nothing happened. When we asked her if everything was okay, she was surprised to see that we are still there. Yes, everything okay, she said. I can’t say the same. P.S.: Neil, the doorman, was the only exception to this experience. You are great, man! Please find a new employer.

We stayed 3 nights in Roseland Centa hotel. Beautiful and comfortable rooms, extensive breakfast buffet, good location. The greatest brightness of this hotel is the reception staff. They shall do everything in their power to make the stay as pleasant as possible. For example, Long advised us to go to look at the firework from the roof of Roseland Sweet Hotel and reserved a VIP table, we asked 2 additional heads and were brought in an eye-spot, ... Special thanks to Long, Niran and Tai.

It was a wonderful stay at Le Merdien Saigon. Check in was a breeze and Ms.Hanni who was on duty was professional and able to address the concern on a minor defect in the room toilet. The issue was rectified while I was outside and issue was fixed prior to returning back to the hotel room. Attentive to the details she verified to ensure everything is in order in the next day. Other concerns were also addressed during check-in and also swift arrangement to address some other issues. A wonderful surprise to a fruit platter as well! We also ordered the in room dining food for dinner and it was good, thanks to the wonderful chef who brought the food up. Overall it was a good stay again in Le Meridien and like to compliment the warm hospitality and excellent customer service to Ms. Hanni and also to the manager on duty . Will be back staying at Le Merdien Saigon in the future. A minor feedback to the Global Marriott bonvoy app ( not Vietnam specific) if the room booking could have a list of default options for customer to be notified if the booking is primarily for room only vs room with breakfast vs room with addon (i.e breakfast , etc ) so that customer would be able to know easily during online booking . Current application may be challenging to navigate these options.

I had booked a night's stay cheap online and they flatly refused to honour it. Said it had been cancelled. I didn't obviously and proved it with documentation. They just shrugged. It doesn't matter whether the fault was theirs or the online booking website, it was obviously not mine. They should have accommodated me and sorted it out between the site and themselves. But they did not care and just left me waiting in the lobby for hours while I waited for the booking company to respond to my emails. The hotel had the cheek to offer me special rate. The special rate was 20% more expensive than the online rate I could have booked with my phone there and then. Eventually embarrassed I just left. My booking company got back to me an hour after and offered to pay the increased rate for me but I couldn't possibly go back to a hotel like that. Even for free. Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.

A lovely old colonial style hotel on the banks of the Saigon River comfortable and clean rooms and very friendly and helpful staff also has a restaurant and tourist information centre attached to it also has a Spa and everything is reasonably priced. I would stay here again 🙂

Stayed for a week. Warm and friendly staff, large room, beautiful, LED TV, wifi, jacuzzi? ! Wow! ! Too full! My child likes it very much. The location is even more superb, very close to the iconic shopping market, where there are many performances during the day and night. There are a lot of halal food behind the hotel. Recommend their milk coffee, so delicious. If you come again, will definitely stay here again. Be careful with taxis, except for Vinasun, because they will detour.

I am travelling around Vietnam, in and out of HCMC and staying at different hotels in Saigon each time just for a change. This hotel has a very good location. On a quiet road but shopping, restaurants, tourist attractions and coffee shops are literally a five minute walk away. Centrally located in district 1. There is a convenience store next to the hotel. Big huge lobby. Very clean apart from the carpets in the hallways which looked old and needed to be changed. Other than that, clean. I had a heavy suitcase and there are stairs to enter the hotel but someone from the hotel was kind enough to help me when I came and left. Once inside, there are lifts to access room levels.  The room was big. Very nice and spacious. The room includes a safe, a few toiletries, slippers, a gown, hairdryer, fridge (although this did not appear to be cold) and mini bar with some crisps and a few drinks that you can pay for, should you consume any items. There is also complimentary water, tea and coffee making facilities plus a kettle. Hot shower but let the water run for a few minutes to warm up. Clean but slightly dated in some areas. Could do with modernising and a paint in some parts. A breakfast buffet is included but I did not bother with it given some of the reviews. It started and finished way too early! I glanced at it one morning on the way out towards the end of service and nothing appealed to me. There was hardly anything left anyway. I prefer trying different coffee shops which are in abundance around the city. They are cheap too. I didn't eat in the hotel. Wifi is a lot better than other places but still slow sometimes depending on what your doing. There is a free map of the area on the reception desk which is worth taking. Checking in and out was generally quick. Staff were very pleasant, helpful and friendly. They speak English and would greet you unlike the previous hotel I stayed at in Saigon. They were kind enough on the last day when I went out but got held up to give me a bit of extra time in the room after the check out time of noon to freshen and gather my belongings without extra cost or rushing me. Travelling a while I had laundry done which was good and reasonably priced. I got my clean clothes back usually on the same day. Quiet in the rooms and perfect for a good sleep at night. My small negative was housekeeping initially. The first day it was not done when I came back early afternoon. When I asked reception it was then done half-heartedly. I wasn't being difficult but it should be done properly. After I kicked off again, the manager I believe was very helpful and ensured it was done properly going forward. Rooms have a sofa and desk. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.
