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.

Check-in happy, check-out even happier!
We had an amazing stay at The Myst Dong Khoi!! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and happy. At checkout, we accidentally left something in our room, but the team immediately found it and kindly sent it along with our other luggage—such thoughtful service! The pool was fantastic, perfect for relaxing and cooling off after a day of exploring. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, and the whole atmosphere of the hotel made us feel truly welcome. We can’t wait to come back!

Great stay
Comfortable bed, well maintained room, happy and attentive staff. Hotel in a great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Breakfast was fantastic.
Room layout was a little unusual. Bathroom and toilet location in our room was a little unusual.

Myst Dong Khoi is a modern hotel that offers many unexpected extras making your stay a relaxed experience.
This hotel does all the basics super well. Location, cleanliness, lovely staff, good sized rooms, a spa (terrific massage) and a gorgeous roof top pool area. What this hotel does that makes it different is the extras such as jacuzzi’s in each room, a stand out breakfast, a free high-tea and drinks in your hotel room. These extras add another dimension to the enjoyment of your stay.

Very good
Big room, nice staff and good location.
There were ants on the desk and wall, the come to clean as soon as we told them, but there were still some left. The towels were to far from the shower. Too expensive hotel.

Peaceful haven at the heart of the city

Great location and a good all round experience.
The breakfast was amazing and they also offered a high tea for guests in the afternoon. The building was beautifully designed. The General Manager came and introduced herself to us and explained some things regarding the architecture which was interesting. We stayed on the 14th floor and the room while it was not large had a nice layout.
The outdoor jacuzzi which we had paid for did not work which was disappointing. It is fairly pricey to stay here.

A Must Visit Boutique Hotel in the heart of Saigon City!
The fabulous Breakfast along with the beautiful, well appointed rooms & the unique architecture was by itself interesting to appreciate & reflect.
A Health Faucet/Jet spray as an option would be a great addition....just my thought, but still manageable....More for the uninitiated guests, getting used to the Japanese WC can take some time exploring....

This was a fab boutique hotel with an interesting vibe in a central location. Loved afternoon tea.
We loved the complementary afternoon tea that was offered every day. It was a lovely treat to come in from sightseeing in the heat and sit down to a cup of tea and plate of treats. Thank you. It was a lovely touch.
The room was a bit basic and got very hot while the room was unattended and the power was off. It took a while to cool the room down each time I came in.

If you want to have a luxurious hotel stay without the typical stuffiness of a luxury hotel, this is for you!
It’s stunning, and the details are exquisite, which is obvious immediately. The lobby, restaurant, and rooftop pool and bar are magical, and the rooms with their high end bidet toilets and outdoor jacuzzi bathtubs make it a very hard place to leave. The staff were so wonderful and hospitable.
They were unable to help us rent scooters, which was a first after having stayed in so many other hotels. It was actually surprising, given the high price point for this hotel and the exceptional service. Also, the dumbbells in the gym don’t go up to very heavy weights, so if you’re really strong, this gym might not be for you.

This was the best hotel we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Vietnam. The roof top pool and bar are stunning. We even got a free room upgrade. I have already recommended to family who are visiting Vietnam soon.
There was some construction noise next door but I suspect this was a short term problem.

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

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!!
