“Clean and comfortable, wonderful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

Beautiful Saigon 3 is a fairly small hotel, and can be a little difficult to find, being that it's situated down a small alleyway in the Bui Nien area, but don't be put off, it's in a great area for bars and restaurants and the main tourist attractions. It's probably a good idea to get the hotel to pick you up from the airport as arriving in the manic traffic that is Saigon for the first time can be quite an experience!

The room itself was very clean, the air conditioning was perfect as per temperature control and lack of noise. Bathroom and shower were perfect and better than most western equivalents. My only gripe would have been the lack of a view from the window, or rather the view of a brick wall, but we were well aware this was the case beforehand, and being the Bui Vien district is such a lively area, a great view wasn't really a consideration. And don't worry about noise from bars etc, the double glazing meant that it wasn't an issue.

The breakfast was very good with plenty of western and Viet options, served in a lovely cool downstairs area with great service.

All said, what really makes this place stand out are the staff. They really couldn't do enough for us. Always smart, smiling and polite. We had a problem with a coach firm picking us up for our onward journey to Phnom Penh and they ran round as quick as possible for us and sorted it. Next time I'm in Saigon, I wouldn't hesitate to book there again...

Room Tip: If you're bothered about a view, ask for a room overlooking the street....

“Lives up to the great reviews”

We stayed at Beautiful Saigon 3 for three nights in Feb. 2012. We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. We arranged for pickup at the airport, and it was great to be able to stumble out of the airport from a 24 hour trip to find a sign with our name and driver waiting for us. The staff is excellent- so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a deluxe room, which was a great size for a few nights and well worth the extra money to us. The room was very quiet- hard to come by in Ho Chi Minh City. We wanted to book another night upon our return from our trip to Phu Quoc but the hotel was full, so they booked us in Beautiful Saigon 1 and carried our bags there for us. The location, service, price, and cleanliness of Beautiful Saigon 3 were all top notch and I highly recommend staying here.

Room Tip: The Deluxe room is worth the extra $.

“Great location and fantastic staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012 via mobile

We said here for 3 nights in October 2011. The staff couldn't do enough for us. They were friendly, attentive and genuinely lovely people.
The location was fab, down a smaller de street, so fairly quiet (as much as Saigon can be!) but close to all the action.
Great value and service. Would no hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Located in a narrow alley off Bui Vien, so quieter than many other places nearby as less traffic going past, but also at the heart of the authentic and old part of the city. Worth paying for the airport transfer, as taxis can't drive down the alley. When they send a hotel car, there's a welcoming party to carry bags from the main street to the hotel.

We had high expectations of the Beatiful Saigon 3 since it had so many rave reviews on Tripadvisor. We weren't disappointed at all. We had a lovely big room on the top floor, which had just been renovated in the last few months. The lovely Ms Y on reception was so sweet and charming and all the staff were very helpful. We were surprised and pleased with how well everything worked out when booking tours and travel through the reception. We were picked up from reception for a day trip and for the bus to Siem Reap and this was very reassuring. Breakfast was great, lots of choice. When leaving at 6.30am (before breakfast started) they took the trouble to sort out a takeaway cup of tea and breakfast sandwich for us - excellent service. The location is spot on - right in the middle of everything but on a relatively quiet (for HCMC) side street. To avoid confusion when trying to find it, it's in a little side street off Bui Vien Street, you need to find the approx location of No.40 Bui Vien Street and then 40\27 can be found up the side street. There's a sign post to an Indian restaurant on the corner.
