Chancery Saigon All Suite Hotel: Like lukewarm or cold food - stay here

by Marthamaire

The rooms in this hotel are very large compared to other hotels I have stayed in. Actually, even the standard room is a suite. Separate room with table, sofa, chair, desk, and refrigerator. I got a standard room. The view was non-existent but who cares. Since I was staying for 11 nights, I requested a tub. There is an individual in-room safe and cable TV with a fairly decent selection of channels. Free internet is a major plus. Tea and coffee making facilities but more on that later.

The downside: the service in the restaurant, the breakfasts, housekeeping service, and the dinner menu. If you like everything cold or lukewarm, this is the place for you. Cold eggs, cold French toast, cold pancakes, lukewarm sausage. There is absolutely no consistency in the breakfast menu. One morning they will have numerous kinds of bread, pound cake, and Vietnamese sweet bread and the next day, for no apparent reason, all you get is plain white sandwich bread. The service is terrible. Breakfast starts at 6am and several times I entered the room to find the staff bringing out the food at 6:15 am. If an item has run out, like corn flakes or pancakes, good luck. You can wait up to ten minutes. Disorganization and plain lack of caring on the part of the waiters is painfully apparent.

I was leaving the maid a dollar tip every day. For that, the least she could have done is provide tea and sugar refills. I asked her several times, via hand gestures and holding up an empty sugar packet, for more supplies. She never, repeat never, refilled my supplies. I had to chase her down in the hall. I left a note for her. Yes, I understand she probably could not read English. The note was left on the pillow. She should have taken it to the front desk and asked what it meant.

The dinner “menu” is really really bad. The choice is so limited as to be nonexistent. And to top it off, the menu in the rooms is different than the one in the restaurant. Fried chicken breast turned out to be slices of bread coated rubber. The French fries were good though. No salads on the menu at all. I had to ask the cook to prepare a basic salad.

Almost every night I was there, there was a wedding. That means the restaurant and bar were off limits to guests. Incredible. A guard stood by the elevator to make sure I went to my room and did not try and sit down in the bar to have a drink.

After talking to an ex pat from America who has lived in Vietnam for five years, I now understand I got ripped off. I paid $55 night and he told me I could have gotten a nicer place, with a decent and hot breakfast, for less.

2.5 stars.

No outstanding characteristics.

the times hotel: Clean, cheap and friendly staff

Cheap hotel and friendly staff. The staff is trying all avenue to help you. I did book a Halong Tour via the hotel and it is cheaper than booking online.

Kim lien guest house: Nice and quite unknown guest house

by Lalaritter

When we arrived in Ninh Binh the lady of the house, Kim Lien, run towards us and tried to convince us to come with her to her guest house. She had pictures with her, where we could see everything. In the end we decided to go with her and it was really worth it. They all did so much for us, helped us planning our next trip, get us what ever we needed. They also made a very nice dinner every night, it was great although it isn´t very central.

Duc Minh Hotel: Clean Room near Tan Son Nhat Airport

by irene3384

I got their website http://ducminhhotel.com.vn/ from another VT member. I was searching for a hotel near airport which is quite clean and decent (because I bring infant) and not so expensive. You can book thru email (they respond fast and also have Yahoo Messenger) and they do not require any down payment for confirmation of your booking.

I ordered Normal Room type with early breakfast (they actually provide breakfast at 6.30am but since I will leave early, they are so kind to prepare simple breakfast) with aircon and hot/cold water with the price VND500,000. You can ask them to write their address in Vietnamese and then print it to be shown to taxi driver.

The location is quite near to the airport (around 10 minutes at 7pm) and near main road, although the entrance is a bit on the corner of a street. You need to take careful look on their signboard because not all taxi driver know this hotel. If you pass Hoa Su 1 and Hoa Su 2 restaurant (very big - you can not miss it) then you are near already.

At glance the hotel was so dim, not much light at night and rather gloomy. Nothing special about the reception area, there was a free computer with internet on the corner. I think the aircon was not working at that time. They have small lift (like many other hotel in HCMC) but enough to bring our luggage.

The room was so nice, not big though, clean enough, one double bed with working aircon and cable TV. Bathroom equipped with bathtub, hot/cold water, and the size is adequate. Toileteries and towels are provided so you don't have to bring any.

With the price they are offering, we consider this as a good hotel and will recommend this to anybody who wish to stay near Tan Son Nhat Airport.

We do not know the real breakfast as we leave early at 5.30 so we only get bread + egg + shreded meat + sausages.

I think this is a 2 or 3 star hotel (not so sure because some of the brochure stated 2 stars and others 3 stars) but wouldn't care so much about the stars anyway. What important is that the service is good, room is clean and decent, and everything is working :)
