Even though I got there a bit earlier than 2p check-in, I waited only a short time before they had my room ready for me. The room was good sized, with a nice view of the city. The bed is a bit rough compared to the other Asian hotels I was in prior, so my back hurt some from it. The pool was warm unfortunately since it was hot out, but all to myself and relaxing. Just a heads up. You do have to take the elevator to the sixth floor, then two flights of stairs to get to the pool. The location is great for about everything you need to see! The water is close, food is close & the bus stations are nearby as well (very easy to use). The hotel looks nice in the inside... maybe too much art work, but nice. I walked all over HCMC for miles with no issues, so I feel it's a safe area. Overall it's a pretty good choice if you're needing a hotel in that area. I would suggest that you check it out if you're in need!
