Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.”

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

4 night stay

Pros - Staff were friendly and helpful when asked anything - building looked historic and nice - rooms were comfortable

Cons - free boat shuttle wasn't operating for the whole stay (the easy access to the city was the reason we booked here. Ended up having to pay taxis to and from the city each day) - pool area was a thoroughfare for staff and people coming to the hotel for meetings. Wasn't relaxing at all. Pool lounges/cabanas were a bit weathered. Lots of mosquitos - calls to room service were unanswered sometimes. Had to walk down 2 floors to order room service - no english speaking channels on the tv. Even though the channel list provided listed plenty of english speaking channels

Pleasant ambience but lacking high end touches

Lovely ambience and river feel Great breakfast and drinks Suite has a nice architectural feel Staff were friendly and helpful

It’s a little dated and needs refreshing. Hotel common areas such as pool need some updating. Boat service should run into the evening. The common areas and restaurants are used for parties

Great calm location. Big rooms. Comfortable beds. Very helpful Manager.

Great calm location. Lovely colonial style hotel. Big rooms. Comfortable beds. Good bathrooms. Very helpful Manager. Great speed boat service into town.

In room facing river could hear music at times from the bar. For most people probably not a problem but if you want a totally quiet room ask for one at the back. Management changed ours without problem. Even upgraded us.

Wonderful relaxing stay. Couldn’t be better!

The location was excellent. Far enough away from the city but easily accessible by taxi. Staff were so helpful and attentive to detail

Nothing not to like.

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.

Beautiful residence and location let down by poor customer service.

Great food, lovely room and beautiful riverside location.

For a property of this calibre staff did not have adequate english language skills. We had booked both the Imperial suite and another river view room to accommodate our children but had minimal engagement by onsite personnel leaving us almost neglected at times. So much potential!

apart from the above function it was a pleasant, quiet stay

location and access into main city via short ride on Villa Saigon ferry

there was a function going on and the M/C was just screaming into the microphone the whole evening - it was offensive

Gorgeous place by the river.

Everything was great starting from check-in.I received a nice glass of welcome juice,which was a nice gesture in the hot weather. The place is beautiful, the staff is great,the pool is amazing and room with the balcony and river view was exceptional. If you prefer to stay a bit further from the city center,this place is for you.It is very relaxing and the receptionists are really nice.I had an amazing time there. The size of the pool is very nice,I loved it. The variety of breakfast was good too. You can choose from the menu and you can have it by the river. They also have a small room with a few fitness equipments,so you can do a little workout as well.The place is really quiet and relaxing.

I loved everything.Only the mosquitos were bothering,so prepare for that.

Very enjoyable, in a nice part of the City.

We really enjoyed Villa Song. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The situation was lovely and so interesting being next to the Saigon river. Lovely setting. Would definitely stay there again.

A lift would be nice - we were on the third floor so going up the stairs was quite hard in the heat and with two of us having asthma, etc. The air con didn't work as well as it should have done.
