This was our last hotel of the Vietnam trip and it was definitely my least favourite. I think a lot of effort goes into the lobby area when it should go into maintaining the standard of the rooms. Our room (1511) was not in the best condition. The carpet was starting to fray, there were marks on the wall and... More

The central location of this hotel and the excellent service made for a great stay. The upgrade to the executive lounge was an unexpected pleasure. The room was very comfortable and the housekeeping excellent. The pool and fitness centre were clean and well equipped. I highly recommend.

Stayed in HCM from 08 - 12 May and I was pleasantly surprised by this busy bustling city! What an up and coming gem of a country to visit. We booked into the Caravelle after a short (30 mins) ride in from the airport - to be greated by a sort of old world 5 star type glitz. District 1... More

Hotel is a bit old style. But great location in District 1. Breakfast is amazing. Stayed for 3 nights and everyday the breakfast selections changes.

Everybody likes Caravelle, its location, service, room quality -- so who can find fault with the hotel must sound like a mean, grumpy person. I am not being picky, I am trying to be objective to consider the good and the bad. The good side of Caravelle is the quality of the beds and the hotel prides itself in offering... More

The Caravelle is an excellent choice when staying in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The room I had was spacious and well appointed. The WiFi was first class as was the buffet breakfast. The staff were extremely friendly and well presented. I highly recommend this hotel.

We can't say enough about the Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. We chose the Caravelle because it's where the network people stayed during the Vietnam War, watching the tracers and bombing in the distance from the rooftop bar. We greatly enjoyed a large, beautiful, contemporary room on the twenty-first floor of the modern, high rise section overlooking the... More

We have been to the Caravelle Hotel for 4 days just to relax during the few Vietnamese holidays (from 27/04 to 01/05). Pros: We got 2 rooms on the 20th floor with a great view over the city. The breakfast was sumptuous and got a lot of choices among fruits, Asian dishes and European cakes. The service here responded almost... More

Dear Tinja Z, Thank you for your feedback. I would like to apologise if your first impression of the hotel was not positive. In explanation it is very normal for hotels to ask for either a credit card or cash deposit when checking in to a hotel. The reason for this is as in fact the hotel is providing a... More

The hotel has a very good location for short term stay to see the city. The facilities are perfect and the pool is a great plus. Rooms are good size and the beds are comfortable. Nice bar on the top.
