On the pic is a nightview from our balcony.
Most inexpensive hotel in Saigon that has a swimming pool and buffet breakfast with excellent location.
Unfortunately the pool was under construction when we were there. When we complained for that(hey, the reason we choose that hotel was mostly the pool!!), suddenly the stuff couldnt speak english..."wat, sir, i dont understand, yes, yes, oki". We didnt bother to ask for manager, but we never got back there again.
But, there are a HUGE brakfast table that contains almost everything; noodles, salada, omelettes, fresh fruits, soups, desserts,...you name it, they got it!
And, the room was very clean, even little bit torn cause it is so old.
So, i still think its good value(and maybe the pool is now opened...). Theme: HotelComparison: about average

| Metropole Hotel: Hospitality At it's Best

I came across the Metropole Hotel by means of anger. Let me explain, I arrived into HCMC late in the evening and had tried to check into another hotel of which I had reservation, however this other hotel was not going to accommodate me. So I went back into a cab in search of a hotel in HCMC at 1:00am. We drove randomly in Dist 1. then I notices the Metropole Hotel.
We pulled up without taking out my luggage to see if any thing was available. The gentleman behind the desk said yes . He said he had limited space and how long do i need the room for. I figured overnight and would deal with everything in the morning. With that he said it was late and would discount the room for me. Even better!
Well from that day on, I ended staying here for over a week!.
The staff was extremely helpful, rooms were large ,clean and modern. The rate included breakfast buffet which had a large assortment of both east and western dishes.
The staff in the bar on 2nd floor became like family, had a pool on 3rd fl, spa on 2nd floor, and business center on the main floor. What else can you ask for in a hotel and great hospitable people to boot.
Great shops and restaurants in area. Walking distance to sights. Plenty of Taxis.
All I can say is thanks to the Metropole staff. Some of the finest hotel staff Ive come across in my 20 years of traveling.
I leave next week for a three week trip to SE Asia. You can be sure that the majority of my trip will be spent here. Thanks again!
Pool - small but clean, great wait staff
Bar personal, the best Ive come across in all my travels. Made you feel like you were home
Food - Restaurant and room service quite pleasing
