King Star Central Hotel — Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

If you want to stay centrally at an affordable rate, by all means come here. Otherwise, there are plenty others to choose from depending on your budget.||Arrival: |There was a power outage when we arrived and they had no backup generator. I don't think it's a good idea to forego that when in a humid, tropical country, especially since power outages are common and mostly scheduled.||Room:|Clean. That's all its got going for it.|The hotel is in between a construction site and a bar, and getting a good night's rest is almost impossible unless you're absolutely smashed. Some form of noise-proofing is needed.|The thermostat indicates 16°C but the room feels no colder than 23°C. ||Breakfast:|Food in chaffing dishes are cold, because they are unplugged. The tables are not cleared for a long period of time, so even though no one was occupying them, you can't really sit and have breakfast. ||Service:|This hotel needs a lot of customer service training. The service is so poor that I would not recommend it. It's one of the worst places I've stayed at, and we've traveled quite a bit.|We complained of the noise and heat in the room, and the male night receptionist gave us a different room but offered no assistance with luggage and room transfer. In fact he was rather rude about it.|And forget about asking for anything from the attendants at breakfast. I asked for tissue and was completely ignored and so my fiance asked again and the woman acknowledged him by responding to his hello and then proceeded with what she was doing, completely ignoring the request, so much so that we had to ask |for tissue from the reception.|Tuy, the female day receptionist was the only one who was actually helpful.||Departure: There was another power outage on our last night, but only the hotel had no electricity. The whole city was lit up. Nobody has ANY idea what happened, and unless you talk to them, NOBODY will update you. This place is...

I stayed in this hotel at the end of an Intrepid Tour.||It is right behind the Opera House and centrally located.||It has been renamed Blessing 1 Place hotel and is a good solid 3 star hotel. ||The room was at the back of the hotel and overlooked the roof tops (everything in Saigon overlooks something). The beds and bathroom were clean and neat.||The bathroom was a bit small if two of you tried to use it at the same time, but for one person at a time was fine.||The breakfast was both western and local dishes. I enjoyed the pho for breakfast and the coffee was local (not to my personal taste, but when in Rome, go with the flow).||We were able to leave our bags here on the last day, to collect before moving to our next location.||There is a construction side to the side, but we did not hear any noise - we got back about 7pm, went out and back at 9:30 pm. we were up at 06:00 am and out by 07:15 am. So there might be noise but as we were out and about, we did not hear any.||Would be happy to...

We book 4 rooms and payment settled 3 months before arrival. When i am standing in front of the front desk, they told me they have only 1 room and the other 3 have to go to another hotel and transfer back the next day! Not just...||Next day, we have have tour booked and they said the room is not ready in another 15mins. Since we are going out, we dont mind to check in after the tour. Who knows after we came back from the tour and it was like 7pm. Only 1 room ready and 2nd room is ready in 15mins where the 3rd room can only be ready after 9pm!!||end of the day, the manager gave us a half day refund for the last room that check in after 9pm! Just imagine if you have to drag your tired sticky body...
