The Caravelle Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City

Very central and easy to get to main tourist attractions

Location is super, hotel staff perfect, everything was ok.

Rooftop-Bar ist sehr old-fashioned.

The friendly staffs

Nothing

Staying in the Signature Suite with lounge access is definitely worth the price. There is courteous service and you can avoid the crowds at the breakfast buffet, for example. Breakfast and the snacks served in the afternoon are first class. The hotel is certainly a few years old, but our room was relatively newly renovated and everything else we saw was well maintained. The location of the hotel is first class - please remember that you are in the center of Saigon - it is certainly a bit noisier there in the evening. I don't need to say anything about the prices for drinks and food, the casino or the bars. Of course, a 5-star hotel also means 5-star prices - and it's up to you to make the most of it. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider the Caravelle for another vacation.

It should be said about the Signature Lounge that it is a strange logic that a cheap 10 dollar cargo pant is allowed for men, but with a 200 dollar designer short, you are denied access. Ladies also have special rights there - because the very very short black dress is accepted in contrast to men's shorts. And my legs are really something to behold. It would be better to find a different rule here, such as "no boxer shorts, basketball shorts and swimming shorts + no flip flops". Because with my shorts I can get into any golf club without problems, but not into the Caravelle Lounge, whereas my golf club wouldn't let anyone in with cargo pants.

Everything! Exceptionally clean. Warm, friendly staff. Large room and comfortable bed, great food. We upgraded to the King signature room with lounge access and a view of the opera house (room 1711) and so glad we did. The view was amazing with a seating area to sit and watch the hustle and bustle from above. Facilities in the room were outstanding and the lounge access was worth every penny! Private check in and check out, sunset cocktails and canapés (more like an elegant buffet spread), along with the most loveliest of staff and great views of Saigon, the lounge was definitely an added bonus and exceeded our expectations. I also booked in for an aromatherapy massage which was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough… interesting to read of its history as a war hotel too. Also worth a night at the roof top bar Saigon Saigon, a good Latin band play there most nights.

Having to leave!

Perfect in everything

Nothing

The staffs , location, food excellent.. I like the shampoo, too.

Almost nothing , maybe breakfast too crowded?!

Location Exec floor Spacious 2 bedroom suite

A little noisy

Fabulous 5 star hotel, clean and staff to suit. Everything is spot on.

All good

Location and rooms were lovely. Staff were hepful

Caravelle in his style and with it's great renovations in the best hotel in Saigon and Vietnam!!!

All perfect

A real 5* hotel in the very heart of Saigon, right next door to the opera and one block from the main walking street. Very stylish and comfortable room, high quality breakfast, well trained staff.

Despite the overall great experience, there was one big con - ventilation: 1) unfortunately there was light damp smell from pipes in the shower and room - this is common here, but not in such expensive hotels. 2) the aircon did not have dry mode so the air was too humid. The windows are blocked so you have no chance to get fresh air.

This hotel is absolutely perfect.

Nothing to complain about, will return.

This is a rather wonderful very sophisticated hotel with quality service that included evening turn down. My room overlooked the Opera house.

Nothing

Location

Rooftop bar was literally empty. Nothing is happening dWe were there until 8pm so we moved to another hangout spot.

Breakfast was fabulous as was the location I actually went to Vietnam for some dental work

The pool area let it down. Required more shade and it looked quite sparse It also could have had a lovely bar with cocktails and bar food

Location cannot be more central - right next to the Opera and within a ten-minute walk from three major shopping malls. Elegant hotel with interesting history from the war. Nicely decorated room with a comfortable bed. Pleasant atmosphere in the executive lounge on 9th floor of the Heritage wing. Professional, helpful staff.

Hotel lobby is small compared to other competitors in the area. Our room had a strong musty smell throughout the stay, not good for people with allergies and impossible to eliminate with A/C. Very long wait for warm water in the shower. You have to start it and do something else for a few minutes before getting in. Breakfast room on the ground floor very tight and crowded. Much more relaxed in the lounge. Finally, I am splitting hair here, but keep in mind that the Opera building next door is relatively low and what that means is that most Opera-view rooms are really looking at its roof, especially from higher floors. General bird’s eye view of the city is pretty though.

location was great. The hotel also accommodated our needs very well. The breakfast boxes were great and allowed us to get to the airport early. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms very clean.

First room offered had a damp smell, however the hotel offered us another room which was much better.

Everything!

Nothing not to like.

Location and cleanliness

Shower pressure was low

The belt team was really helpful, I also love how they delivering the posted parcel to my room when I was outside. Great experience, everyone was nice especially car park attendant. Thank you.

The rooms are beautiful, and the bathrooms are excellent! We booked two rooms: the Opera Room and the Corner King Room. Despite being in an old building, it's actually quite new, well-maintained, and tastefully renovated. The bed and sheets are top-notch, the room lighting, the shower, and the fragrance are all wonderful. If you have an affinity for French architecture, this location is the best in Saigon, right next to the Opera House, the French-style Intercontinental Saigon, The Park Hyatt, and the LV building. Everything is within walking distance! You'll find fine restaurants, coffee shops, and the best food stalls around. When compared to the neighboring Intercontinental King Room, Sheraton, or The Majestic, my Opera Room not only boasts more beauty but also offers better affordability and overall value – I'm not exaggerating or guessing.

Amazing comfort and large clean room & bathroom. You feel Very quiet in room though located in very busy area. Accessible to good malls and food overall great location & awesome breakfast.

Nothing..in particular
