Luxury Hotels in District 1

Fast & easy check-in at midnight. Good sized room. Welcomed with plate of fruit and water in the room. Nice touch. Interesting space (no exterior window) but actually worked. Not as bad as it would seem. Can hear people talking in the hallway at times but ok otherwise. VERY LOVELY breakfast rooftop space and delicious offerings! Would go back just for this! Nice afternoon tea spread included in price as well! Great value. Good location.

Hotel is very well maintained. I chose this hotel for an older and more authentic feel. Given that expectation, it did live up to it. Staff was professional and friendly. Housekeeping staff was excellent. Expect the furniture and decor to be dated, but clean. The hotel borders the river, so exploring on foot is limited to one direction, but within walking distance of main attractions. It does sit on one of the busiest streets in D1, and locals love to say good morning, good afternoon, and good evening with their bike horns.

Initially, our room smelled and the AC did not work properly. This was unacceptable and we requested another room. My girlfriend and I expected a 5 star hotel to be inspected prior to guest's arrival. This should be standard procedure especially at a 5 star hotel. Maid service for the room was the best part of our stay. Breakfast was nicely prepared and the quality of the food was above average. Some notable and concerning issues were as follows.: 1) One night after dinner outside of the hotel, we were stopped by security when trying to return to our room. My girlfriend was a registered guest under my reservation. However, security wanted my girlfriend to registered at the lobby implying that she was a prostitute. We were both shocked and extremely offended. This is UNACCEPTABLE!! 2) We requested a bucket of ice and two wine glasses. This should be standard and should be included in the room rate as part of staying at this hotel. The staff charged us 1 million VND for ice and two wine glasses. This is egregious in so many ways. My overall recommendation is that there many other hotels in Saigon that are better suited for guests wanting a peaceful, respectful and relaxing experience without feeling the way we felt. Hotel management should review their standard operating procedures and re-train their staff to show respect to all guests and provide clear guidelines on what services are included in the overall cost. I do not recommend the Reverie hotel in Saigon.
