Been 3.5 years since I visited the last time due to the pandemic. Everything is still as good as it has always been. Room is clean and seems newly renovated. Shower is hot and that's important because after a whole day of work a hot shower is a relief. Staff wears specialized uniforms now and is as polite as they have always been. No strange smell in the facilities which is important because I got a dog's nose and if you stay in VN long enough you will notice many hotels have a strange smell in the rooms and facilities. Overall I feel everything is more organized and neat.
I do hope they can change the water faucet in some of the rooms - its neck is far too short to cover the center of basin and the whole hand when you wash it. And more volume of water dispensed from the faucet is needed. The room's soundproofing could use a little upgrade as I could sometimes hear the water sounds from the next room, probably from the shower when someone was taking a shower.
Everything else fits the name "Boutique hotel" and I totally love it. They also let me check out late at 4PM without any additonal charge because I wasn't feeling too well and needed more rest. I really love this. Do consider tipping them a little as a token of gratitude for their kindness if you ever need a little more rest.
That's it. I love this hotel and will be coming back again, as I've always been. I'm a very picky and near-perfectionist person and I recommend you this hotel. I don't think you can find another hotel that offers the same value and quality at the same price in the Phu My...
Read moreMuch has been said about the hotel's impeccable service & room standards so I won't dwell on those. This is seriously the cleanest hotel room I've stayed during my travels. I'm a cleaniness freak so I know! Floor tiles are squeaky clean & not a single strand of hair is spared. We saw the friendly owner John in action during breakfast where he chatted with everyone... except us. Perhaps we didn't look friendly enough!
The hotel is close to MANY restaurants, convenience marts (circle K), supermarket and cafes. Our favourite haunts are: 2) Pho 36 - just opp the hotel, vnd55k for a decent Pho 2) Paris Baguette (2min) - bread, pastries from USD1+ 3) Lee Cho (2min) - authentic korean fare, go for the grilled meat + soup set! Vnd280k 4) Awesome Coffee Rooster 5) Papa Chicken (4min) - half chicken for vnd135k is enough for 2pax sharing
If you like shopping, you can walk 10min to VivoCity (clone to Singapore's version!) Or take 10min grab/uber to Lotte Mart.
We chose district 7 over the heart of district 1 as we didn't want to feel harassed by hawkers and tired out by the traffic/noise/smog. Going downtown is easy - 7km and a 20min grab/uber ride away. We tried taking bus 102 but it was too much of a walk locating the bus stop. Save time and energy for sightseeing by taking...
Read moreAfter so long, ten over years, I have not visited Ho Chi Minh city. Upon recommendation by a friend to stay in district 7, I would happily recommend people to stay in district 7 rather than district 1.
The moment we checked in, we were impressed by the of service and the attention to details that the stuff provided. The rooms are spacious and equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The linens are soft and luxurious and the rooms are impeccably clean and well maintained, which is a plus.
There are 2 shopping malls within walking distance. There is Crescent mall and Vivo city. The staff were so patient explaining to us the direction. Visited Crescent mall by the river side. It was so magnificent and beautiful 😍
Along the hotel that we stayed, there are restaurants, massage and KTV karaoke. Less crowded compared to my previous stay in district 1.
Finally, we have to mention the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the moment checked in to the moment we checked out, we felt well taken care of and attended to. The staff went out of their way ensure that we had a pleasant and memorable stay, and we truly appreciate...
