Villa Song Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City
More photosExpert reviews
“Channeling the elegance of the French-colonial era with soaring ceilings and wooden floorboards, the three-story Villa Song is an ode to art and interior design and is a favorite with discerning travelers.”
“In a District 2 garden location with river views, this French-inspired boutique hotel is one of HCMC’s most relaxing places to stay. Very romantic rooms and suites are filled with heritage Indochinese style and contemporary Vietnamese art, and the property’s Song Vie bistro has an absolute riverside location.”
“A charming getaway for travellers who prefer to be away from the bustle of the city, but still remain conveniently close to all it has to offer. It’s a quiet retreat along the banks of the Saigon River, set in a leafy neighbourhood among genteel villas and residences.”

Poor service. Poor breakfast. Very bad experience in this hotel.
The swimming pool is big, nice and clean.
The manager was very pleasant, professional and helpful to find nice rooms for us.
1/ No buffet for breakfast. You need to order everything from the menu. When breakfast is included, they charge you extra if you order more than 1 drink (juice OR hot drink) and 1 plate (eggs or toasts or pancakes….). The service is very slow. We had to leave for the airport before our full breakfast order arrived. We had arrived at breakfast 45 minutes before leaving time. The restaurant was not even half full (1 big group and 2 tables) and the kitchen staff was overwelcomed and could not keep up the orders. We left very disappointed.
2/ the person at reception speaks very poor English. She does not understand what we ask her. I asked at 9am for my luggages to be brought down at reception. At 9.35am, our taxi was waiting outside and still no luggage at reception. My husband and I had to bring down ourselves all our luggages (from our room on the 2nd floor + from the room of our teenagers’ on the 3rd floor). There is no lift in this hotel and no air conditioning outside the bedrooms, so a lot of effort for us.
3/ We had booked 2 rooms with balcony via Booking.com. When we arrived and they tried to give us rooms without balcony. The 2 ladies at reception were not pleasant, not a smile, which is very unusual in Vietnam. Luckily, the manager arrived and was very helpful. He found us 1 beautiful room with a big balcony and another big room without balcony but still very nice. He upgraded us. Rooms were beautiful. The managed did his best to find a solution. We appreciated that.
The manager was very professional and helpful but was not working the day we left unfortunately (to solve our breakfast and luggage problem).
Overall, I do not recommend this hotel, the service is not worth 4 stars.

The Myst Dong Khoi, Ho Chi Minh City
Fodors + 1 more“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.”
