We stayed here for three nights when returning back to Sai gon from Mui ne. The hotel was very clean and simple. Breakfast was not so good. The location was OK took taxis to most everything we wanted to see as walking in the 45 degree temps and sunshine was too much for us to do often. We had to... More

Sophia Hotel is a very good value hotel, located centrally in Saigon. Decor is a mix of the orient and eastern Europe, just as Vietnam itself is, some travellers may find this offputting, but for me it added to the experience. It is very clean and efficient. The wifi works very well and is remarkably fast. Staff are very friendly... More

I stayed here for 1 night as I had an overnight connection in HCMC. The week earlier I'd stayed in a much more expensive hotel with crappier service. This place was good. The front desk staff didn't speak perfect english, but certainly enough to communicate. The location is good, close to shopping & post office/cathedral. It's a bit far from... More

The rooms are well appointed with nice furniture but generally are a bit small. Most of the front desk staff didn't speak very good English so it was often difficult to sort things out with them. Our bookings had requested a queen sized bed in a non smoking room and when we arrived we'd found they'd booked us into a... More

We stayed at this hotel as a one night stay - we just needed something basic - but comfortable and clean. We were very disappointed. Lobby : The lobby is probably the nicest part of this hotel. It is nice and open and light. Reception : The receptionist was relatively friendly, however, not very welcoming. Upon our return they forgot... More
