Experience of the stay
My first time in Ho Chi Minh City. I stayed at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and attentive to various needs, and the room was clean and comfortable. There was also breakfast and afternoon tea available, with pho, bánh mì, and Vietnamese coffee served during breakfast. Perhaps by chance, I received a complimentary 15-minute massage at the attached spa, which was lovely. The location was great, as it was within walking distance to tourist sites and close to the Japanese district, making it very convenient. While it may not have the opulence of a five-star hotel, everything was just right, and I spent my time comfortably. I would absolutely love to stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thank you.
Experiences during the trip
I mostly traveled by grab taxi from the hotel, but it was convenient to have places like the Central Post Office within walking distance. Additionally, there were many spas near the hotel, and they were about half the price of Japan, so I went every day during my stay. I heard that Miumiu Spa is very popular among Japanese visitors, which was great. There was also a Bánh Mì shop called Bánh Mì 74 that is often featured in guidebooks nearby, and it was delicious. Moreover, the exceptionally tasty bánh mì was from Bánh Mì Huynh Hoa, recommended by the hotel staff! The pho at the hotel was good too, and I popped into several shops in the city and all were nice. For dinner, I chose a restaurant located on the fifth floor of an old building called Secret Garden, which had a rooftop, and also visited a lovely place called Nyahan Gon with a pink interior and blooming flowers; both had amazing ambiance and flavor. For souvenirs, the Takashimaya basement was beautiful and had sweets that seemed to appeal to Japanese tastes. I've heard that Bánh Mì Rusk is quite popular. Furthermore, the Tao Dien area is famous for being a trendy neighborhood, and I found a very cute basket bag designed by a Japanese designer that I really liked.
