Good value, pleasant and reasonable. Great location in District 1, close to Opera House, Sheraton and the river. But I have stayed here 2 or 3 times now and had to change my room at least twice. Make sure that you ask for a room at the front of the hotel, even if you have to upgrade. You will thank... More

For the price approx. USD 120 the location was great but the rooms were rather ordinary. Do not fall for the lowest price rooms if ventilation is important to you. They do not have windows and I had to upgrade immediately. Also, even though rooms are designated non-smoking there is a distinct smell of cigarette smoke in all the rooms.... More

This is in a very good location to walk to market and bars and restaurants. The rooms are okay but a little small. Be aware that if you bring any guests in they will charge you the expensive rate for the room. The front desk will also harass you by calling your room at 3AM to harass you by asking... More

The location is superb in District 1 with everything within walking distance. Don't let the lobby put you off as once you get to the room it's great - at least the the Super Deluxe Double I stayed in. It's facing the road with a small balcony but the street noise is not disturbing. If you are from the countryside... More

We needed hanging space for clothes as attending a wedding which required long dresses etc. The room we were given at first only had a... More

As all have said, hotel is located in the middle of everything. Stayed in a Junior Sute and it was clean, no smells, has windows, but you only look at other windows. I am in HCMC at least once a month and will probably start using this hotel for future trips. If your worried about noise, because thisis an active... More

The BongSen is ideally located for getting a feel of the old city center. The quality is so-so -- we had a room without any windows, which was good for noise control, but does give one a feeling of living in a cave. Otherwise, the service is ok, and the breakfast is sufficient. Communication with the staff in English can... More
