The Myst Dong Khoi, Ho Chi Minh City
Expert reviews
“The eclectic design of this hotel is almost as mysterious as its name. Everything here is a tribute to Saigon—its past and its secrets—from the stained-glass details to the antique furnishings and knickknacks throughout, and the scent of ylang ylang that fills the lobby.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Ho Chi Minh City.
“Very popular, this hip hotel is just a short stroll from the riverside and good shopping along Ð Dong Khoi. Decor combines retro Indochinese style with a dash of 1930s art-deco influence. The quirky exterior is enlivened by a living wall of tropical shrubbery.”

Inside, one can observe wooden flooring, artworks, colored glass windows, and metallic enhancements that bring a touch of indigenous dwellings to this high-end accommodation.

A beautiful hotel in a perfect location. Would stay again on our next trip to HCM!
Was an architecturally interesting building, the plants were beautiful along the room terraces. The rooftop pool was so beautiful! Afternoon tea was a real treat. Location was perfect.
The room we had was quite dark as there wasn't much natural light. The balcony faced a building just a few feet away. We were told it was a room upgrade but when looking at our reservation details it was exactly what we had booked.

The Myst is the best in saigon , no doubt!
I knew this hotel would be stunning ! The welcome drink and sweets was a wonderful treat after arriving . Refreshing and always a hospitable gesture. Our room was on the 4 th floor. Great view of the city and beautifully decorated. Classic , cozy and such a comfortable bed and pillows. They give you a lot of bath amenities and the location is perfect for walking to great shops, restaurants and cafes . The pool is AMAZING! Its serene and the service at the bar was great! The staff really go above and beyond.
Nothing ! This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in .

Pleasant stay near main attractions.
Great location in District 1, near a lot of the main attractions. The rooms are spacious and very nicely decorated.
The sheets did not completely cover the mattress and there was no option for early check in.

Just wonderful - one of the loveliest places I’ve ever stayed.
Wonderful hotel - unique decor and the most helpful and friendly staff. Great breakfast and lovely (free!) afternoon tea. Great location in District one.
Tiny thing but would be nice to have a wider range of soft drinks at the bar plus snacks.

Beautiful hotel! Wonderful decor, rooms and incredible rooftop pool
This is one of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at! The decor is charming and beautiful. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable- incredible spacious beds! It was great having a balcony with a jacuzzi tub as well. The pool on the top level has amazing views and is covered in plants like a jungle - it’s breathtaking up there. As is the dining room and the breakfast was wonderful - good selection of Asian and Western food. The location is great for exploring Hi Chi Minh and the staff are very nice and professional

Beautifully designed hotel with absolute style
We had a great stay, brilliant location, well designed spacious rooms with very comfortable beds, and beautiful staff that were knowledgeable and attentive.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Highly recommended.
This boutique style hotel is amazing. The mix of traditional and funky decor worked well. Staff are amazing and helpful. Breakfast is excellent. The complimentary high-tea was not expected and a great bonus. Beds are super comfortable. I was most grateful for a surprise birthday cake 😊
WiFi was not reliable. The access to the gym is actually dangerous climbing up a very small steel spiral staircase!!

Location, straff, room, pool everything is brilliant! There is a jacuzzi on the balcony! Amazing view!
A bit slow check-in and -out proces. The beer selection of bar is very narrow and only Heineken based. 7 Elleven just outside has a great and local variation of craft beers available.

Amazing hotel in a great location! Great vibe and superb staff.
I loved my stay at The Myst. By far the best hotel I stayed in during my travels through Vietnam. The room was immaculately presented, the staff were attentive and professional and the breakfast was delicious. I will absolutely be returning to stay again in the future. Special thanks to Truc and Sang who were very helpful and went out of their way to ensure I had a pleasant stay. 10/10
If I had to choose something - I would say that the gym could be a little bit larger with a bigger range of weights. This is so minor that I wouldn't necessarily call it a drawback as there are plenty of gyms around in the area.

Really fantastic boutique hotel with quirky and surprising design features and lovely staff!
Really beautifully designed property, including the architecture, lobby, restaurant, room, and pool area. The staff were also attentive and kind and made us feel special and welcome. We were upgraded to a better room upon arrival and ended spending more time in the room, pool area and bar. Also, they provide a tea time service between 2-4 pm which is a delightful presentation of specialty foods, desserts, drinks and snacks, which ended up being our lunch every day! All of this made it very difficult to go out exploring into the busy city.
The only thing that was a bother is that there were no curtains on some of the windows in the room and that made it hard to sleep deeply.

Perfect stay for a visit in Ho Chi Minh City where you can really take a rest and breath
