Royal Hotel Saigon

Can't beat the location, right at the center of district one, close to multiple attractions and the waterfront. Really like the outdoor pool. The hotel might be a little old, but it still retains the luxurious characteristics. Hotel staffs are friendly, the breakfast buffet is amazing, and my personal favorite is the pho.

Request to a quiet room upon booking so they will assign you to such so you can relax. Based on our experience, upon arrival we were assign a room on Rex Hotel side which is too noisy. We then requested to move to a quieter room but was told that only a room with 1 queen bed is available (we booked for a room with 2 beds) to which we accepted. The room seemed not often used but was quiet than our first room. We were then asked if we would like to transfer to another woth two beds the following day which we agreed. We left our bags at the lobby while waiting for the room availability we left the hotel. When we came back we were told that our room was ready and they upgraded it to a bigger room. They are very approachable and responded to requests as fast as they could. Breakfast buffet was great. There are usually events during weekends and they close the roads surrounding the hotel so you need to walk a bit if you arrive or leave during weekends.
