The Caravelle Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City

The breakfast was great , staff great

Great service from the concierge, beautiful room, great rooftop bar

Breakfast was very crowded. Pool didn’t have enough seating and felt a bit tired, needs a refresh

Location is great. Rooms and common areas are perfect

Breakfast was crowded. It was good, but they need a bigger area

Great signature lounge, pool area, gym and location. Clean room. Comfy sheets

A bit musty smelling room. Not a bother , but did exist. Perhaps room was not booked often.

Really good location. Super helpful staff. Luxurious room

What a beautiful hotel. Modern, clean, great rooms and restaurants. Rooftop bar great view. Tri who was the staff member when we arrived was fantastic and so helpful.

Breakfast closes at 10am And the Vegas area was a waste of time as all machines reserved whether they are being played or not. You need US dollars which we changed then were told no machines. Some of the staff disinterested.

V good

Expensive

Clean and comfortable

Value for money

It was great location and very clean and stylish. Staff were amazing and breakfasts were great.

I was very happy with my stay but if I had to choose one thing that could be better was that there was too few sun beds around the pool at times and for the size of the hotel they could do with more. But staff were amazing at finding us a seat

The location is great, easy walking distance to most things. Great beds and good swimming pool.

The staff upon check in were very disinterested. Didn’t give us any information on the property.

The location is great, close to everything The beds and especially the pillows were very comfortable, making for a great nights sleep

Excellent Hotel with exceptional location .Service par excellence from the time you check in at Signature Lounge Ms Uyen welcomes you with a warm and courteous service which stays through out the stay .Very impressed by overall facilities and service which made my stay memorable .

Perhaps some local Vietnamese fare in the breakfast

Signature room and access to private check-in and lounge. Everything is great. Caravelle remains as one of my first choice in HCMC.

Nothing :)

The location of the hotel was central to all attractions & shopping malls. There were many restaurants surrounding the hotel. The rooftop bar entertainment was superb, the artistes were very talented. The food was delicious. Our stay was outstanding.

Bed location staff

Lifts were a little slow on some days

The room is beautiful and location is excellent. Walking distance to everything. Staff are friendly & helpful.

Breakfast buffet could be better and We had a horrible sleep for 3 nights because we were assigned to one of their connecting room, the noise from the next room were unbearable until 2-3am every night we were there. Only the last night we noticed the noise were came from that room as at first, we thought it was from the street. Front office manager tried his hardest to rectified the issue and kept apologising. Unfortunately there was nothing he could to made our stay better since it was our last night.

Stayed in Club room. Very helpful and friendly staff with good English. Rooms spotless and cocktails in the rooftop bar a plus.

We only had a short 1 night stay at the Caravelle. The location is amazing and everything was very clean and tidy. The staff seemed welcoming and the breakfast was quite good - although if the place was booked out it could be quite busy/packed as it was in a small space. Our main concerns would be around the smell in the room (many others have reviewed with similar with a musty smell that lingers despite air conditioning) and the room whilst clean looked like it was in need of some love.

Good location in downtown. Very helpful staff. Clean room.

The shower drain was not working properly.

Location and the lounge on the 9th floor

Pool was to noisy

Everything..superb facilities, service and location

The property is in a very central area next to the opera house & near the post office and other major attractions. Hotel food excellent.

The bed was very soft. Struggled to sleep.

Loved this room and this hotel The attached facilities were great The breakfast was excellent Location was perfect

The staff were really friendly and professional. They kindly upgraded us to a city view room. Room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower facilities were also great! The hotel is in a great location 15 minute walk to most tourist attractions. It was a 5 minute walk to the famous apartment cafe's. Breakfast was also good with a lot of options from Asian to Western food. Breakfast staff were very attentive. The hotel also has a nice rooftop bar with good selection of drinks, happy hour and a live band in the evening. I would stay here again if I come back to Ho Chih Minh and would recommend everyone to stay in this hotel.

Quite expensive

We loved ambience, location, rooms, rooftop bar, staff & breakfast!

We love the Caravelle Saigon…we have stayed here a couple of times and we will be back

The hotel was beautiful, staff were friendly, thoughtful and attentive!! The rooms were spacious and clean and the view was incredible. Rooftop bar has great music and this hotel even has a casino on ground floor!!! Great restaurants to try and the hotel is nearby A lot of Luxury and affordable shopping centres!

The minibar was empty but apart from that it’s perfect!

Very good buffet breakfast, friendly helpful staff

Great location. Rooms are very good with great layout. Best shower in the world, water pressure is the best. The breakfast is first class and the service offered is always of high quality.

Cost is high, particularly food & drinks at pool. Can of coke 100,000 dong, 7Eleven 13dong.

This is truly a 5 star hotel in district one . The location is literally opposite the famous opera house. A lot of places of interest like the cathedral, post office, the river , Ho Chi Minh statue, shops, shopping malls, markets,dining and pleasure walking in lit up city are within walking distance of hotel . We stayed in signature suite which was huge and had a separate living room. Our two balconies from bedroom and living room had views of the opera house and the super views of the square. The signature lounge serves morning breakfast, soft and hot drinks throughout the day and evening canapés and alcoholic drinks from 5.30 pm to 7.30pm. Such a variety of food items available. Please respect the dress code.My wife being vegetarian was well looked after. All the staff have positive attitudes to work, always supportive, attentive and smiling.The swimming pool is well maintained and have adequate seating and a drinks bar offering happy hour. Thank you Caravelle team for making our stay comfortable. Highly recommend this place. Reasonably priced compared to other hotels nearby. .

All good

Beautiful property and great location

Roof top bar with Happy Hour on the 9th floor, a great start to our evening. Serve food there too at reasonable prices. Stunning views overlooking Saigon (HMC). A late afternoon swim in the open air pool & relaxing on the sun beds with a good book or use of the gym & spa/beauty treatments on the 7th floor. Great food on the ground floor restaurant. Breakfast was amazing choices to suit all tastes & nationalities. Our deluxe room decorated in a Colonial style had a superking sized bed so plenty of space. Big room with 2 big wardrobes, a safe, iron & ironing board, spacious bathroom shower & separate bath. Fabulous views of the city & river in the distance.

Very nice and extremely clean hotel with great rooms. The beds were to die for, with the comfiest pillows ever and amazing shower pressure. Pool and gym facilities also a great feature. Overall the staff were very nice. Location is excellent, walking distance to the center and markets. However was it worth the very high price? To each their own, the design of the rooms were beautiful but quit crowded for 2 people and suitcases not to mention that breakfast wasn’t included in the “cheaper option” that in our opinion for Vietnam wasn’t that cheap… but we understand that this is the set price. But for a country of very hard mattresses, those beds saved this review ;)

love our room with large floor to ceiling window for the view of City. The staff of the Signature Lounge is courteous, attentive and definitely made our days at Caravelle better

Excellent location, friendly staff, great breakfast, love the toiletries

Bed too old, some springs already given way

Beautiful hotel with clean, spacious rooms that are very well equipped. Super location within walking distance to all major sites and restaurants.

Nothing

Great rooftop bar and lovely staff, particularly Tu, who told us a lot about the history of the hotel and surrounding area. The hotel is also in perfect location for a lot of the main attractions. Very comfortable room and bed, beautifully decorated and clean.

Luxury hotel in Saigon. Great location. Close to everything you would want to do in Saigon.

Nothing

Beautiful hotel. We splurged on a suite after an international flight. No matter what type of room you reserve, definitely upgrade to Lounge Access which includes private breakfast and dining area and free tapas buffet every night. Definitely worth it.

Nothing

A hotel that is a slice of history of Saigon itself, the Caravelle is an epitome of old world luxurious charm. Staff are courteous with impeccable manners, which personally makes me feel welcome. Rooms were immaculate as usual and regularly cleaned. But it's the rooftop bar Saigon Saigon which steals the show. The bar transports patrons to a bygone era and the views along with the live music makes for a delightful evening.

The Signature Lounge was an utter letdown. Staff didn't seem too happy to serve and would rather direct me either to the breakfast buffet or the rooftop bar. Didn't even get served a welcome drink despite an early check-in.

Had the lounge access package very worth while great selection. Location of the hotel was great

nothing

The breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect

The rooms were a little smaller than expected but manageable.

Fantastic view of the city and very easy to walk out in the evenings to bars and restaurants

The breakfast room was far too small for the number of people staying. Really squashed in and the buffet ran out of food several times and it took a while before it was restocked. It’s a shame because the room itself was lovely. We stayed for 3 nights and tried different times but it was always overcrowded.

Location, friendly staff, clean room.

Pool area needs more sun lounges. Price of drinks is really expensive compared to outside the hotel.

Perfect central location. Very comfortable room. Nice terrace bar with a fantastic view. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly

Maybe more choices of vegetarian food for breakfast.

Everything. From comfort of room, location, incredible staff. Loved it all.

Great hotel in an excellent location. Staff are lovely and friendly, beds are really comfortable and the shower is huge!

N/A

As it was our second stay in this excellent hotel, there is no any additional remark. Perfect hotel.

Unfortunately the buffet restaurant was overbooked, but it was not the fault of the hotel. Simply, the foods and the service is so good, therefore half of Saigon wanted to eat here. :-)))

It was one of the best hotel whenever I booked. Location is excellent, in the heart of Saigon. The hotel is extravagant from outside, and even more inside. The staff is super helpful. The buffet restaurant offer is non plus ultra, with seafoods, traditional vietnamese foods etc. Reservation is advisable, because it's more than popular! The breakfast is extra rich. However there is a tapas bar as well if someone prefers the lighter foods, or simply wants to have tea or very good coffee. The hotel concierge is ready to prepare sightseeing tours or even farer excursion for instance to Chu Ci Tunnels or Mekong-delta. Even the airport transport is not cheap, but if somebody arrives to Saigon firts time, I guess this is a good solution.

Maybe the cushions should be less rigid.
