Binh Quoi Holiday Packages

My husband & I stayed at Lotus Saigon for 2 weeks & were very happy with our stay. Breakfast was great with many Asian & Western foods available with about 12 hot food choices, including fried eggs & omlettes, toast, jam, 3 different fruits, yoghurt, sweet cakes, tea, coffee, water & 2 juices (cordial). After 2 weeks though it was a little repetitive. Pool was really lovely (but why aren't lounger mats put out daily?) Adjoining gym looked well maintained too. But like most hotels there's room for improvement, particularly with cleaning of room. Some days we had soap, tissues, toilet paper, water etc replenished, but other days we didn't. We had to ask for soap at reception as we hadn't received any, or body wash for 4 days. Our full bin wasn't emptied one day. Also I don't think our room was ever vacuumed in whole time as we picked up leaves etc that had blown in from balcony. But the friendliness & helpfulness of all staff there made up for any slight misgivings. Hotel is close to a small grocery store where prices were very competitive. It's close to atms, banks, local laundry services & food stalls. One more thing, it's such a pity that the 'Coffee Shop' in foyer is non-operational & also that the piano was never played (sign on it saying not to). Would be lovely to have a young local come in to entertain on piano on a Friday/Saturday night whilst people came in & enjoyed while sitting in Coffee Shop. You could open it to outsiders as well. It would be a little gold mine.

We stayed in a nicer room on the ninth floor. I would say it’s the honeymoon suite. It was even better than the photos! My wife and I were very happy! Vietnam is very humid and the room can get hot when the ac isn’t on. In Ho Chi Minh every hotel uses a system that requires you to put your hotel room key card in this card holder next to the door to turn on the electricity for the room which also affects the ac. The morning breakfast had a lot of different foods to try and was good. Staff are very helpful and do their best to communicate in English when necessary. Pool area is beautiful. And the balcony for the honeymoon suite allowed us to see fireworks for Independence day.
