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.

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.

I had a truly memorable experience at The Myst Dong Khoi. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the hotel’s elegant, boutique charm . The room was spacious, uniquely styled with vintage touches, and came with a delightful balcony that overlooked the bustling streets below. What really made my stay exceptional was the service. A special thank you to Tran, who went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome and well looked after. Tran’s warm hospitality, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations.

A definite repeat trip. Ideal for couples.
The Myst is an amazing gem in District 1. It is tastefully and eclectically decorated, with a hint of whimsy. It is quiet, and well-appointed. The buffet breakfast and high teas are a must do, and the private and quiet rooftop pool and bar were also a highlight.

Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings
Very charming unique boutique hotel in district 1. Close to restaurants and shopping. Great coffee at Cafe Bason downstairs. Comfy beds and beautiful bed linen. KL spa was also good. Free afternoon tea from 2-4pm. We asked for recommendations for dinner and were not disappointed, they even made the reservation for us. Totally fabulous hotel. Great value for money. Would stay here again.

Location, design, staff, breakfast and interior is just perfect!
I couldn’t give it a full 10/10 because of one major issue: the air conditioning unit in the room was extremely loud. It made it nearly impossible to sleep, whether I kept it on to stay cool or turned it off to avoid the noise. This really impacted the overall comfort of the stay

Thoroughly thrilled.
I am obsessed with this hotel. Every aspect of this hotel is considered and includes a wide range of amazing repurposing of Saigon history. The details are exquisite, but even more so is the service. I hope the owner understands just how incredible their staff are. They were beyond helpful and provided us with the best first experience of Ho Chi Minh city. We are truly blessed with this hotel experience and indebted to your staff, especially Mr Nghia. Thank you.
Not living here full time!

Great location, staff and amazing sheets.
The location was a huge tick for us. The bed was fantastic and we enjoyed the pool area and drinks. The staff were attentive and helpful. No issues booking tours/taxis/ changing money.
The amenities in the rooms weren’t overly functional. The shower area was disappointing no privacy and just wet the room. Seperate private bathrooms would have been more enjoyable.

Beautiful hotel with great service. Friendly staff and a fantastic rooftop bar and pool.
Rude and inconsiderate guests smoking around the pool. This should be banned!

The best Hotel in HCMC.
I could not find fault with this hotel. The staff were amazingly helpful going out of their way to get you what you wanted, the location exactly where we wanted to be. The breakfast and the complimentary afternoon tea were both equally impressive. Overall an amazing stay.
We couldn’t find fault with any aspect of the hotel.
