In a 6 week trip through SE Asia, staying at The Continental was supposed to be a highlight, but sadly it was not. This is not a bad hotel, but this hotel is struggling to retain a 3+ star rating. What could truly be Saigon's leading grand dame hotel, is being allowed to slip into oblivion by lacklustre ownership. The... More

We booked Ian the Internet unsure of what we were getting. From the moment of our arrival till our departure this hotel did everything to make our stay get better by the day. We were upgraded on arrival due to my birthday the following day to a lovely suite facing the Opera House. Breakfast was great and we departed for... More

The prime asset of the Continental is its location and the fact that it has withstood all the (unnecessary) flashy changes. However some things need to be improved, especially the rooms need to be upgraded.

I think a lot of the negative comments were a bit too harsh. It's a grand old lady and it doesn't try to hide it. In all, we had a pretty good stay. I can't comment on the standard rooms but the Oriental Suite is quite lovely; very large room with high ceilings, large bathroom, LCD TV (I must say... More

On first glance this is a beautiful old hotel in the affluent shopping district of Saigon. Across the road from shops such as Versace and Louis Vuitton.

We were surprised to find this hotel so well located and with such large rooms with lovely views, when we stayed there for three nights from March 11, 2013. The service was friendly and the breakfast was good. On the whole, a very satisfying stay.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights. The hotel happily stored our luggage while we were away for one night in between. The style of the hotel is grand old colonial with lovely high ceilings, very spacious rooms - some with a small sitting room. Unlike the previous reviewer I had no issue with the large spotlessly clean bathrooms... More

The Hotel Continental was quite nice. The rooms were spacious with a separate little lounge area that is good for socialising. The breakfast was good with a decent spread. The rooms feel a little old but are still comfortable. My biggest gripe is the bathrooms. They were old, and didn't have proper showers, only a hand held type one in... More

I stayed twice at the Hotel Continental in 2 very different rooms. The hotel itself is glorious in a grand old way. The location can't be beat - we could walk to most attractions. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The ambiance is old world and then some. The first room we had was at the back... More
