The Dragon Palce has had some bad reviews in the epast but they are definitely in the past. The rooms are bright and spacious, (we had the family room), and clean. The glass particion for the bathroom is an interesting design but functional. Being so centrally located we were prepared for some noise, a trade off for being so close... More

Booked a Double Deluxe and Family room for a night in April 2013. As this was a stopover on transit, we spent fewer than 12 hours at the hotel. Nevertheless, we thought it was money well-spent given the promotional prices for the newly refurbished rooms in a central location. The all-you-can-eat breakfast was a bonus. Its central location along Pham... More

We stayed at this hotel and enjoyed great service from the staff. It's a fantastic position and close to everything, especially Highlands Coffee for great Vietnamese iced coffee. The rooms are clean and good value for money. We stayed at the back of the hotel so quiet. Would def stay here again.

After taking one of the worst overnight bus rides from Cambodia, our bus unceremoniously dumped us off on Pham Ngu street. While we were driving down, I had spotted a newly-opened hotel that offered a 30% discount in celebration of its opening. Ignoring the barrage of taxi and motorbike guys, we hurried down the street to check out the new... More

Booked in here for the night after our flight was cancelled and money was low.....but it was a real gem! As good as the €150 we were paying just round the corner but for $40! Everywhere in Saigon is noisy so don't think paying more will help. Look out for these places!!

Heard that this hotel had been renovated just a couple of months ago. Location wise, is really pretty good, just a 15 mins walk away from the famous Ben thanh market. But I would suggest taking a cab there, taking a cab there takes only 5 mins, 15000 dong. The rooms are really clean and nice. We booked a family... More
