The Myst Dong Khoi, Ho Chi Minh City

6-8 Ho Huan Nghiep, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (show on map)

Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.

Lonely Planet review:

“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.

How could it be anything less than a perfect 10? 😍

This was one of the most unique and best-serviced hotels I've ever stayed in, especially considering it's location in the heart of the city. The hotel was so unique and stylish. The restaurant and rooftop bar are lavish, offering delicious options and tons of variety. The decor is unique, fresh flowers at every table without being overdone. It's perfectly chic. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet, the feeling is unique and boutique, while still offering luxury like nearby competitors, but with more personality. The service is top-notch. I've worked in hospitality for years, and the staff here is every managers dream. Extremely proactive service. Everyone has great English.

The only staff that were a little inattentive were in the bar, it was very hard to get their attention to order food or drinks. But overall, this is minor and just a bit of feedback to share with that team. It's a dimly lit bar for ambience, so maybe they just have trouble seeing. But I would suggest checking on the customer more often or trying to keep an eye out for people trying to wave them down.

The place to stay in Ho Chi Minh City

The property itself is unique and stunning in so many ways. The rooftop pool and bar were absolutely amazing too. The biggest surprise that was wonderful for us happen to be the 2 PM teatime which had a variety of tasty foods that basically provides you with lunch.

The only thing is I shower needed more pressure and the light over the mirror in the bathroom needed to be brighter or have a make up mirror with a light.

Breakfast was delicious and all types of food available. Vegans were catered for very well which was appreciated. Staff were excellent and the dining room as bright, colourful and spotlessly clean.

This was a really cool property, the architecture and decor are definitely worth checking out. Staff was amazing, there was a mixup with hotel airport pickup, but staff quickly addressed it, and took care of us. Cocktails and food at bar were also unique and delicious.

An exceptional hotel with wonderful character

We loved our 2 night stay at The Myst. I had seen people use the word ‘quirky’ to describe it in other reviews, and I didn’t quite know what to expect. It’s such a lovely hotel! Beautifully decorated with such character. The design of the building and internal decorating is so well done. We found the staff really friendly and helpful. We traveled to Vietnam for our wedding anniversary and got a lovely surprise when we arrived to find our room specially decorated! Would definitely recommend.

I found that we had a long walk or a grab ride to many of the places we wanted to visit. It wasn’t a huge issue but there wasn’t a great deal in the immediate area we wanted to see. Having said that, the area is upmarket, clean and nice and quiet compared to other parts of the city, so a nice escape from the hustle and bustle.

This was a great hotel and a great location and a really good deal. I would highly recommend it.

The location was fantastic. Easily walkable to every part of Ho Chi Minh City what are you gonna say? We stayed for five nights and every night it was great coming back walking through the beautiful lobby stopping for a drink or just hanging out. The cleaning staff left us great fruit including dragon fruit, and a really nice note. They seem to provide all the things that we needed. Lots of freshwater fruit help when we asked.

We actually liked everything about our stay. Our room didn’t have a great view, but they made that very clear on the website and that is the room we chose so that was fine. We did have an outside hot tub, which was great to have.

Exceptional in every way. A small boutique luxury hotel, so different from the massive international hotel chains that all look the same. Real character, beautiful design, amazingly comfy rooms, fab staff and the most delicious breakfast. The pool on the rooftop is stunning too. Absolutely the best!

Nothing at all, stayed 3 nights, travelled around Vietnam and then came back for more!

The hotel is in a great location in District 1, close to lots of sights and great restaurants. The facilities in the hotel are excellent and the staff were so courteous and helpful. We left a bag with them while we travelled to the Mekong Delta for a couple of days and had a local laundry collect our service wash and deliver back to the hotel in our absence. Nothing was an inconvenience or too much trouble. The pool and rooftop bar are an added bonus.

Great location, cute room, nice touches

Really nice hotel in Saigon and very well situated. The room was genuinely cute, and the bubble bath on the little balcony was a great touch.

The only small difference compared to our other stays: the staff felt a bit less warm, and the clientele leaned a little too glam “look at me” for our taste.

Stylistically portraying the Charme of the Old Saigon, very kind and professional hotel staff

The hotel is catering to those guests who are appreciative of the minimalist Indochine style of the early-to-mid 20th century Saigon, portraying old Saigon nostalgia, while at the same time embracing Vietnam's independence, especially independence from the decadent and self-serving U.S. influence. The old furnishings and artistic memorabilia are reminiscent of Saigon's Old Charme, and the hotel has, with that choice of style, definitely carved out a niche for itself The rooms are large and inspire warmth and comfort, even though some guests may be missing a cushion here and there on the wooden bench surfaces.... The breakfast buffet is a standout, both in terms of diversity and the quality of the individual food items. I was unfortunately not staying long enough to utilize all of the hotel's fantastic amenities. We would book this hotel again, and can whole-heartedly recommend it to those who are likewise appreciative of the stylistic features of the Old Saigon of the early-to-mid 20th century.

There is no legitimate reason to be critical, since deliberately installed old furnishings of yesteryear sometimes lack the functionality of contemporary equipment. In our case, the jacuzzi jets did not work, but we nevertheless enjoyed the huge bath tub. ..

Quirky but comfortable and reasonable value for the quality.

The location was fine, but I could not make a comparison to other locations. The design and decor was quirky - we liked the rustic feel! The bed was very comfortable and my wife approved of my choice of hotel (which is difficult to obtain!) so we were all happy.

Nothing really springs to mind.

Loved it!

The property was very quaint. Beautifully decorated with the old and new. The pool and the bar on the 14th floor was exceptional. So was the breakfast. So much variety that changed daily . Rooms were spacious and very aesthetically appealing in a unique way. Actual hotel is better in person than the pics.

The bar on the 14th floor was a little hard to access. The Spa in the room could use a good clean especially the jets. Overall, these are 1st world issues. The place was almost perfect.
