This hotel is right smack in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) at Pham Ngu Lao Street across the 23 September Park and 10 minutes’ walk to the famous Ben Thanh market where you can buy knock-offs at very low price if you know how to haggle. It is a good hotel with also very good money exchange counter with rates better than banks and other foreign exchange shops. The hotel has no swimming pool though. There are heaps of restaurants, cafes and convenience store nearby and a Pho 24 is just about 3 buildings down the street. The room we had is big and clean, it has a 32” flat screen T.V. and a small low round table with 2 stools. Our room is on the street side facing the park which is very noisy which is not good for people who are light sleeper. Ask for room which is not facing the park. Our accommodation comes with free buffet breakfast which has variety with western and Vietnamese food and also comes with free wireless internet in the room and throughout the hotel. The staffs are friendly and we were also given our packed breakfast on our check out the next morning because we had to leave early on our last day of stay. If you are coming from the airport or the bus station, make sure you take a reputable taxi such as Mailinh because those small time taxis will rip you off big time.

I travel a lot, and I am pleased with this hotel.

Everything is good, especially the staff. The restaurant is only OK but within three minutes' walking distance there are many excellent places to eat.

good Value for money, close to center, Market and restaurants. Clean and tidy. Take a room to the inside, street side is too busy.

We sent three nights at this hotel, it is very close to the center. The rooms were clean and tidy. the breakfast buffet was very poor, low choice and the communication and understanding with the staff was difficult. The sould have more training in english for international guest...

In VN, this is a good, economical choice...everything is at least OK, but the staff is exceptional. Door service, laundry, instructions on getting around. I stay here in Saigon because these guys are friendly.

Overall is good for the 02 nights I stay.

I was very happy with my stay at the Vien Dong Hotel. The room was very large compared to other rooms in Asia, and everything was up to propoer standards. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was excellent, both in variety and quality. Location was good with a park across the street used by many local people for exercise and relaxation, especially at night. Felt safe and comfortable in the area. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saigon.

Business center printer was not functional during my stay, rest was good.

The location is very ideal for tourists because it is at the heart of the city. The hotel is very accessible to everything a tourist should need like restaurants, shops, travel & tour services & even a Catholic church so we were glad we didnt miss the Sunday Mass while on vacation. It is also very decent, clean & afforadable. It has also free internet connection in the room. I think the hotel needs to provide enough chairs or space for breakfast buffet as during peak hours we find ourselves standing with our plate & waiting for a few minutes to get settled. Over all, we are happy with our stay & will definitely recommend Viendong Hotel for tourists who want to get value of their money.

I regularly choose this hotel as my standard lodging for Saigon; price is good and everything is clean - and the internet connection, though still not to US standards, is pretty good for Asia - and at no extra charge. I am quite pleased with the Vien Dong Hotel.

Booked for one-night through travelhotel.com and extended our stay for two more nights but the charges for the extra nights were much higher than the internet rates.

It i s easy to access to the Ben Thanh Market and the Bus Tarminal. Many good restaurants are near from it.The room we stayed was clean and large, friendly staffs. We will choose this hotel next time again.

We had thought this hotel would not be great, but were surprised as it is quite modern. The only problem was in the mornings through the window facing the corrider/hallway/balconies there was alot of noise. however would highly recommend. booking on hotel travel was much cheaper than going without a booking. It cost US$90 for a triple share without making a reservation.

Staff is friendly and accomodating; rooms are clean and quiet if not on the street side; location is good. Only personal dissapointment was the breakfast buffet which offered no eggs of any kind during my stay due to the chicken flu scare. Excellent hotel for the price paid. Would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are small and old. no facilities whatsoever. quite near to the tourist area
