Hotel berhampiran Art Arcade, Saigon

Ia adalah hotel yang cekap di daerah satu di Ho Chi Minh City untuk pengembara bajet. Ia berdekatan dengan kebanyakan tempat tarikan iaitu istana perjumpaan (2 minit berjalan kaki), Pasar Ben Thanh (2 minit berjalan kaki), jalan kaki Bui Vien, Pasar TAKA 239, Pusat Bandar, tepi sungai sungai Saigon, pangsapuri kopi dan sebagainya.

It is difficult to imagine this hotel was once three star quality. Frankly, it’s hard to believe this hotel could legitimately earn one star. The promotional photographs provided on various booking websites and the property’s website are simply not accurate. According to the hotel, they are for “illustration purposes” and are not actual hotel rooms in this hotel. I paid for an upgraded superior deluxe room and the pictures speak for themselves. My room was neither superior, nor deluxe. Dingy, old, rundown, Blank walls, thin, worn mattress, moldy bathroom fixtures, worn out carpet, non-functional light switches, and I could go on. From a practical standpoint, there are no power outlets near the bed - I had to charge my phone in the bathroom where one of the two power outlets was broken. This hotel’s best days are behind it. Many rooms here have no windows, which is why I upgraded to a Superior Deluxe, which has a window but only in the technical sense. Mine has a window that looks out into darkness. See the picture below taken at mid-day. No light whatsoever. Just a physical window. The room obviously used to be a smoking room. Smoking is no longer permitted but my room as well as the corridor do have the odor of stale cigarette smoke. The cigarette burns on the furniture remain evident. My advice is to choose a bite that has a well-established reputation. There are many with comparable prices. I hope my review can save at least one traveler from the great disappointment that would otherwise await them at Bong Sen.

This hotel room blew me away! Impeccably clean, it felt like a cozy haven. The shower was a spa-level experience – hot water on demand, fantastic pressure. Everything was in top-notch condition, making my stay incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend for a delightful and rejuvenating getaway! 👏

Awesome place! Great location, close to everything. It's a brand new hotel, it just opened. It has a brand new washer & dryer to use, so you don't have to take your laundry anywhere. Huey, the owner was super cool & helpful. Don't think twice just book it, you'll be glad you did! I give it 5 stars. Best place i stayed in all of Vietnam. Thanks Huey, Matt from Denver, Colorado

Great Location, walking distance to most attractions and lots of great restaurants and bars nearby. The rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. Breakfast was very good with great selection of local and international food. Service was good and very hospitable. The only flaw I would point out is that the pool is a bit old and doesn't have any view.

Lokasi hotel adalah di pusat bandar. Membeli-belah di sekitar adalah sangat mudah. Ia mengambil masa kira-kira 5 minit berjalan kaki ke Jalan Pham Ngu Lao. Lebih kurang 2 minit dari Pasar Ben Thanh. Bilik hotel itu damai. Sarapan pagi juga disediakan. Akan menginap di hotel ini lagi lain kali.

배낭여행으로 새벽도착하여 오전까지 잠시 눈을 붙이기위해 4인 도미토리 방에 숙박했습니다. 숙소 자체는 굉장히 훌륭하여 대단히 만족했습니다. 이층침대 도미토리에 비해 침대는 호텔식이라 편안하였고, 커튼또한 잘 되어있어 개인프라이버시가 나쁘지 않았습니다. 약간 일본의 캡슐호텔 느낌? 하지만 수납공간이 큰 라커 빼고 침대 주위에 좀 부족하다는 느낌이 있었습니다. 또한 가장 크게 부족하다고 다가왔던 점은 온수가 나오지 않았던 거였습니다. 새벽이라 안나오는 줄 알고 대충 씻고 다음날을 기다렸는데 다음날에도 나오지 않아 찬물로 샤워했습니다. 다만 동남아라 완전 냉수는 아니고 샤워할 만한 냉수였습니다. 아무튼 새벽 체크인 가능하다는 점에서 긍정 평가 드립니다.

NOT the best hotel if you need space and comfort, but it makes up with its Super location, cannot get better. % to 10 mins walk from what ever you need to see/ Go/ whatever. Breakfast is average, nothing that you'd go back for. Pateience is what you need, especially when communicating, but that again, applies mostly all over Vietnam. GET your milk, if you need it, its not available in the room.

I have booked a VIP room costed about SGD 100 per nite for 2 nites. The photo shows a jacuzzi in the room! Upon check-in the room, I found the room a bit dark with dark walls, even with the curtains of the doors to the balcony opened. I have to repaired the right bedside light to make it lit. The TV remote has run out of batteries & the hair dryer is not working. I have to ask the house keeping to change it. The room is spacious with a outdoor balcony for smokers, as there is an ashtray there despite of my booking request for a non-smoking room. The balcony is facing a white wall of the next building!?! So no nice view from the balcony. Double basins are good but the jacuzzi is not working! Just treat it as an oversized bathtub. Feedback to the front counter & the answer is all jacuzzis in the hotel are all not working!?! This should be stated at the point of booking. I felt like being scammed to book a non-working jacuzzi VIP room! There are no face towels, just a medium sized towel & 2 large bath towels. The white floor towel is already stained & wet when I checked in. The aircon is weak even I have set it to full blast. However, the room is quiet without the infamous Vietnam traffic noise. There is no nite light leading to the bathroom in the nite, I have to switch on & off the lights when using it during sleep. The toilet bowl is located in the dark corner without lights. Do avoid throwing toilet paper into the bowl which would choked it. I learn it the hard way! The digital lock of the door sometimes refuses to lock. So do check if the door is lock when going out. The location of the hotel is perfect facing the famous Ben Thanh market. Shopping, eating & money changing are not a problem. There’s is a pharmacy in the left of the hotel & jewellers at the right for money changing. Most jewellers are unofficial moneychangers. This would be my first & last stay with this hotel,as there are plenty of other hotels nearby if I wanted to stay near the Ben Thanh market for my future trips. I do not mind paying but do not scam me.

Roseland Sweet Hotel is a value for money hotel; and there would be many other similar hotels easily found online. But what made Roseland stand out was one of their staff Kiet Anh, who is a bellboy, front desk, concierge all rolled into one. The week I was there, he was working everyday and all hours, I practically see him all the time whenever i'm at the lobby, whether I am going out or coming back. His bright, cheerful and friendly demeanour plus his very personal touch is on par with the service found only at the 5 or 6 star hotels. He was what made the difference for me staying at Roseland; which otherwise would be a good but pretty average hotel. Roseland is indeed very fortunate to have employed a staff like him; and given time and the right grooming would make an excellent management personnel in the hospitality industry. My choice of hotel will still be Roseland for my next coming trip, but only if Kiet is there. Thank you Kiet, for making my stay so pleasant and memorable; and thanks for helping me send my cracked handphone for repair; you really saved my life!! See you soon!
