This hotel is pretty average. At the end of the day it's a place to sleep and nothing more. The breakfast included is alright - omelet, baguette and fruit - it gets very repetitive if you're there for a while. The staff were really friendly and made you feel very welcome and they always tried to answer all your questions.... More

This hotel is just fine. Nothing to brag about. No lift, so we have to go up the stairs to the 4th floor with our luggages. The room is so small that it only fits a bed, a small dresser and a small tv. Not much space. They turn off the A/C when the guests go out so it is... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and the longer we were there, the less impressed we were with it. They kept turning our air-con off from downstairs so if we wanted it back on we had to hunt for ages to find them, as there is never anyone at reception. We did a lot of tours which involved early starts... More

We ended up staying here after arriving late at night at our booked hotel across the alley. Due to a communication error we hadn't been informed that our hotel was temporarily closed for renovations. The lady approached us from Red Sun as she noticed us standing outside our booked hotel’s closed doors looking rather confused. She offered us a room... More

Stayed for 2 nights in March 2011. Arrived at 8pm, nobody at reception. After 5minutes I wandered through the hotel and found someone downstairs who told me wait at reception. 10 minutes later, a lady arrived & I checked in. Immediately she wanted to sell me a tour. As I'd already arranged a Mekong day trip for the following day,... More

After I arrived in Saigon from CambodiaI spent a couple of hours checking out different hotels and guesthouses. The ones I had read the most good reports about either had no single rooms available or had put their prices up substantially. The only reasonably priced rooms I could find in the main backpacker area were in the rabbit warren of... More

Before I stayed at the Red Sun Hotel, I had heard mixed reviews about it. When I arrived however, the first thing that struck me, was the cheerful nature of the staff and the outstanding service that they provided. Two of the staff members, Jenny and Phoebe, were so helpful and informative; that they contributed towards a positive first-time visit... More
