Just 10-15 mins stroll away from the active area of District 1, this hotel is located near the park and seems to put a breathing space between the road chaos of Ho Chi Minh centre and its urban spread. An elegant entrance is complimented by attentive reception staff and there is often someone on the door to usher in the... More

The hotel's location is a 15-20 minute walk to the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Post Office and the market. This to me is a bonus as I saw more of Ho Chi Minh this way and also got to walk through a very pleasant park. The hotel smelt a little musty, particularly on hotter days, but was clean,... More

Although this hotel is 2 1/2 star but the service is like 4 star hotel with freindly and tip top service that i have experience.It also clean and tidy. I notice that foreignese like to stay this hotel although it quite far from the town.

The reason I booked this hotel was that I was using American Express membership reward points to pay for the stay and it looked to be the best value for the use of the points. The actual cost was around 27.00 usd per night. At first I really didnt like the location because it is slightly away from the major... More

The staff was a bit standoffish (a rare experience during my stay in Vietnam), but the room was clean and the bed fine. The lighting was hideous and the bathroom dismal (though, again, clean). A decent, safe and central location in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City with access to some good restaurants and, for Saigon anyway, good walks. Smoking is permitted... More

The good experience started with helpful advices via email. The stuff answered every single question and when we arrived, we felt very comfortable at this place. The rooms were clean and in a good condition. Working wlan and a/c. The breakfast was good, too. We are sure that you can find a cheaper place with similar equipment (especially on the... More

It was quite a good stay for me & my gf - 3 nights' stay in Empress Hotel HCMC to welcome 2012:) Room was clean, bath room was clean, with towels & toiletries too! With the price we paid, no complaints:)

Pros. Clean room, no bugs, hot shower, good sized room and a little more than basic breakfast (noodles, toast, cereal, eggs, bacon and fruits). Helpful staff. Only one Con. Not walking distance to night market or dong khoi, but only a $1-2 taxi I recommend reading up about taxi scams*** There are a number of taxi companies which are privately... More
