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.”

All you need to know
Situated in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1, The Myst Dong Khoi stands as a remarkable architectural marvel in the vicinity. This contemporary skyscraper is set by the Sông Sài Gòn riverbank, featuring verdant balconies and windows that form a distinctive pattern on the building’s white exterior.
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.
Numerous rooms offer balconies adorned with hanging gardens and breathtaking vistas of Saigon beneath – some of these outdoor areas even boast private whirlpools. Each of the 108 rooms comes with tea and coffee machines, minibars, large screen televisions, and stone bathtubs.
Visitors have access to the in-house fitness center, wellness spa, steam room, and a 24-meter rooftop pool enveloped in lush vegetation and comfortable furnishings – it’s easy to spend an entire day here! The KL Spa houses four therapy rooms where guests can reserve conventional Vietnamese body treatments or partake in current wellness rituals.
Recharge after a day of exploration or leisure at the hotel’s in-house dining spot, the Nest. It offers a continuous buffet in a traditional Vietnamese setting, dishing out European favorites along with genuine Asian dishes. Another excellent dining option at this hotel is ERY.
Drawing inspiration from Vietnam’s Son Doong Cave, this restaurant provides a banquet-style meal in an exotic cave-themed ambiance. On the topmost 15th floor resides ROOTY, known for its tempting cocktails and stylish, vibrant atmosphere.
In addition to its tangible amenities, The Myst Dong Khoi delivers unparalleled service, ensuring all guest requirements are handled with friendliness and proficiency. Guests have the option to arrange various local tours via the hotel, making it extremely convenient to immerse in local attractions and culture.

Excellent hotel.Very good value& right in the centre.
Lovely hotel…clean and very nice rooms with comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant was excellent, the breakfast bar is huge covering just about everything you might want! The staff were endlessly helpful & charming.

With its relaxed vibe, comfortable beds, rooftop pool, and perfect central location, The Myst Dong Khoi made our time in
We loved our stay at this beautifully designed hotel, which mixes vintage charm with a modern feel. The rooms are stylish, very comfortable, and feature large beds and private balconies with jacuzzis (we didn’t use ours, but it’s a great option!). The location is fantastic — close to Dong Khoi Street, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and landmarks like the Opera House, Cathedral, and Post Office. It’s also just a short walk to the river for easy access to river cruises. We especially enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar, which was a great place to relax. Although we didn’t visit the spa, it’s another nice option to have. The daily afternoon tea with live Vietnamese music was a lovely extra touch. The staff were excellent, especially Duc from the concierge team, who helped organise Opera House tickets for us at the last minute. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City

Would stay again! Loved it.
Loved the comfort, cleanliness and overall feel of the hotel. Staff were lovely. The pool area on the roof was amazing.
Would have liked a proper separate bathroom. Our toilet only had a slatted door off the main bedroom.

Exceptional stay! Unique interior design with a captivating story behind it – every corner feels thoughtfully curated. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for those who appreciate both style and warm hospitality.
The room location was a bit disappointing. My room was situated behind another building, which blocked the natural light. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the morning sun during my stay.

Beautifully presented hotel
Beautiful hotel lobby and roof top bar with a great steam room and small gym in a good location. The bed was comfortable but the room was a bit dark and uninviting. We did not use the bath on the balcony or choose to sit out there as there was no outlook. The staff were attentive and the afternoon tea served daily was impressive.

We will be back
What a beautiful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. All staff were attentive and nice. Amazing breakfast. Cost of drinks very expensive, go across the road and grab some beers from 7/11 for $1….

Great location very nice interesting hotel with kind staff
It was a shame that your booking system had been hacked and therefore it was challenging dealing with your reception staff trying to find a room. Fortunately a room was found so the day was saved.🙂

Wonderful gorgeous hotel with exceptional staff in a perfect location.
One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in the world, just so much variety. What a lovely comfortable bed we loved the hotel and its exceptional staff, even the maintenance man bowed and wished us a good day in perfect English. Amazing hotel would recommend to anyone and everyone.

An excellent hotel with fantastic pool and bar area, in a central location, with excellent staff.
The overall feel and the style of the hotel, particularly the pool and bar area, and the staff were excellent.
The gym equipment wasn’t great - about half the equipment was faulty.

Perfect hotel in a great location and quite unusual not like all the other hotels
The breakfast was excellent and beautifully presented. The pool also was on the top floor….. a great location
Your booking system had previously been hacked hacked and so our second night wasn’t confirmed . This upset me until kindly one of your member of staff was able to facilitate the second night.

Very cool hotel in great location
The hotel was quirky and interesting everywhere you looked - from the cafe and reception to the rooms and shared areas. The hotel really brings the outside in. The roof pool and bar were amazing
their booking.com account was hacked and i had hundreds of messages prior to the stay asking me to verify with my credit card - hopefully they have resolved this issue now

One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at.
Everything, I’ve travelled to Vietnam many times and this is by far the nicest hotel I’ve been to. The room is clean and beautiful, the bar and pool is gorgeous and the staff are so helpful. The restaurant next door is also great for relaxing. It’s also right in the centre but you hear no outside noise at all. Honestly you won’t be disappointed and well worth a stay.
It was perfect, no need to change a thing

Worth more than a 10. Absolutely wonderful hotel, stay there if you get the chance!!
This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in, if we could give it more than 10 we would. The facilities were great, breakfast and afternoon tea (included in the price) were extensive and delicious. The room was large and stylishly furnished. Shower and jacuzzi were good. The room's mini bar was free (never seen that in a hotel before). the staff were exceptional friendly and helpful and made you feel special and very welcome.
absolutely nothing!

I loved the location of this hotel on Dong Khoi
On arriving at the hotel, I was rather disappointed with our Saigon Double room. The description of this room ( on Booking.com at least) was misleading. Small matter, but this type of room strictly speaking does not have a balcony as we know it, nor does it have a mini garden as it says on the description. What it has is an enclosed stone Spa bath with entry through a side door of the room. This spa bath is enclosed by iron grills open to the outdoors. It cannot be altered I know, but the configuration of this room is odd!
