Wonderful hotel within 600 meters (5-7 mins walk) from major sights like Notre Dame Cathedral, Post office and War Remnants Museum. An extra bonus - just round the corner from the bus stop for those who want to take the 152 Airport bus. Location wise very convenient.
We stayed in a superior room with windows and we had three windows that let light in. Room was well appointed with robes, slippers, and bath amenities (including the bum gun for those who use it). The bath tub was lovely and while the room was small, it met our needs.
Breakfast had a wide array of choices from Viet cuisine, to Chinese food and European options. It was adequate but not as expansive as the buffet I had at the Ibis (but it was free!!). afternoon tea was a nice touch for those escaping the heat, but the food itself was again adequate. The outdoor fit was center and pool were both very small and they fit the nice rooftop lounge in a very compact space.
Where Au Lac shines is in the decor and service. There was nice pieces of art both in the lobby and in the rooms that highlighted the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam. The robe was colorful and the lobby was tastefully decorated. The rooftop chairs were comfy and there was space for smokers to enjoy.
The front office staff (eg DTL-Mia and others), the bell staff, even the security personnel were all very helpful with bags or calling local businesses for appointments. The bonus is that if you have a late flight, you can leave your luggage at the front, spend the day touring the city and then use the rooftop showers to freshen up before your late flight.
All in all, a very good option for a stay in HCMC.

The hotel was really clean and all staff were really friendly and welcoming! The breakfast was delicious and so was the afternoon tea. We made good use of the pool and bar by the pool, as well as the laundry service which returned our clothes so quickly and smelling amazing. Prices for everything were very reasonable and would recommend for anyone staying in Saigon as it is also a great location

The hotel was exactly as pictured on Booking.com. Staff were attentive and focused on clientele. The hotel is set in a prime location that is close to all attractions, these being War Museum, Independence Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Post Office, Book Street and Ho Chi Minh Museum. All of these attractions were within a 5 to maximum 10 minute walk from the hotel.
The rooftop pool and steam room offered a relaxed environment matching expectations. I personally found Sammy to be attentive and helpful with general needs. Breakfast was good and the rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. I chose a room with no window as I had read previous reviews regarding those with windows experiencing noise from traffic. As a result, my room was quiet.
In summation, I would highly recommend this hotel to future guests, looking to get out amongst the attractions and who enjoy great restaurants also within walking distance.

We will definitely remember it as the WORST hotel we had during our travels through Southeast Asia - referring to the name we would call it „wannabe legend“.
We don’t really know where to start, because such a bad stay we never had at a hotel. It was the very first time we were even thinking about getting to another hotel. The higher price for Asia makes it even worse.
First we received a room which seemed OK on the first look. But on the second look it was dirty, noisy and uncomfortable.
At the first night we woke up as the windows are very bad isolated & the air conditioning was noisy. Plus we heard someone taking a shower in the room over us very loud and clearly. Beds are very soft and uncomfortable. So we went down to the reception to get another room, which we got on the next day.
We asked for other location of the room (to another street), but we received the same room, 3 floors below. And what follows? Same story. Noisy, dirty and uncomfortable. To be honest it was worse. (Blonde hairs in the room, socket did not work, toilet „gun“ had no water pressure, toilet seat was shaky, queen size bed was in the corner with air conditioning over it)
Second everything looks a bit outworn and it’s definitely not worth the price. The pictures in the internet were great, but when you see it in real life it was so bad that we took it with humor and had to laugh. For example pool and rooftop are small, glass wall at the pool is dirty, tile joints in the pool are black (mold) and so on.
Third, the bad service. Barkeeper on the rooftop is arrogant and drinks are only ice. (took 2 sips to finish drink) Waited 10 minutes for a can of beer. No help with luggage down the stairs. (Receptionist in the morning was the badest and most unfriendly) All workers are at the phone or chatting instead of working. We asked for takeout sandwich / breakfast as we had to leave to airport at 5:30 and had no chance to get breakfast. In EVERY hotel we ever visited we at least got a little sandwich to take with, but in this hotel the answer was: No, go and get yourself to a convenience store. (Harsh and unfriendly)
Only good thing is the location.
All in all they think they are some kind of highclass, but referring to the name of the hotel it’s more like „wannabe legend“.
Don’t burn your money and go somewhere else for this price.

If you enjoy contact sports then this hotel is for you because you will need to shoulder barge the door every time you need to enter your room. Opposite the hotel is a construction zone and right next door is a hotel/club that plays insanely loud music until late at night. The hotel walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s conversations (I have had conversations with other guests who have had the same issues). unfortunately when we arrived we did not have bath towels supplied in our room - it took the staff 2 minutes to come up and check if we were lying but another 20 minutes to actually bring them to us. I would definitely not recommend this hotel - for the price there are a million other hotels in HCMC you can stay at.

The facilities were good and the service was very good. The staff were all friendly, greeted me at the door no matter what time of day it was, and cleaned the room really neatly while I was away. The bathroom inside the room was also very clean and there were plenty of towels, so even if I took a shower to relieve the discomfort, I was able to wash without worrying about towels. If I have another chance, I would like to stay at this Au Lac Legend Hotel.

The Au Lac Legend Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City is truly a gem among boutique hotels, offering a unique experience that perfectly blends elegance, modern comfort, and Vietnamese hospitality. Our stay here was an exceptional experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the vibrant heart of Vietnam.
Location: The location of the hotel could hardly be better. The Au Lac Legend Hotel is situated in District 1, the center of Ho Chi Minh City. Major landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the famous Nguyen Hue Street, and the historic post office are all within walking distance. Excellent restaurants, trendy cafes, and shops are also nearby, making this an ideal base for exploring the city.
Rooms: The rooms are stylishly furnished, offering a harmonious blend of modern comfort and Vietnamese culture. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtful details that made the stay feel so special. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the room’s design was both practical and tasteful. Amenities like air conditioning, a minibar, and high-quality bathroom products were flawless.
Service: The service at the Au Lac Legend Hotel was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed at check-in, and the staff was always attentive to our needs and wishes. The team was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful at all times.
Facilities: A highlight of the hotel is definitely the rooftop infinity pool. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the breathtaking view over the Ho Chi Minh City skyline. The view is especially spectacular at sunset! The hotel also offers a fitness center and spa, adding to the overall comfort. Breakfast was excellent as well, with a wide selection of fresh and delicious Vietnamese and international dishes.
Conclusion: The Au Lac Legend Hotel is the perfect choice for travelers seeking a stylish and comfortable stay in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. The combination of a prime location, tasteful design, and attentive service made my stay truly unforgettable.

Nice and helpful staff! Rooms equipped with good working air conditioning and clean sheets and towels every day. Washing clothes is also particularly easy for a very democratic price. If ‘set up’ before 10am, washed clean the same day!

We had a lovely stay here at Au Lac hotel. On the first night of our arrival we were a little disappointed in our room, our travel agent booked the basic room and although lovely and clean, it was two beds pushed together to create a double and there wasn’t a window in the room. We asked for an upgrade the next morning and the staff were extremely lovely and accommodating, the suite was an additional £30 per night and we were moved almost immediately. The hotel itself is spotless, the staff cannot do enough for you and always have a big smile on their faces, they make it such a lovely and warm atmosphere!
Rooftop bar and afternoon tea is also lovely, we enjoyed drinks up here before going out on a night time. Hotel also provide you with a list of local attractions, food recommendations etc which was extremely helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this city!
