Northern Hotel

“Hotel Stay”

We stayed at the the Northern Saigon Hotel for 3 nights We enjoyed our stay the hotel was in a good location and easy to walk to where we want to go. We had to contact room maintenance to come to our room a couple of times and they were always prompt. Our holiday was booked through Trip A Deal

Most , if not all, the service staff, understand basic English which is very essential for non- natives and tourists. The staff are friendly ans obliging. This makes my family’s first visit a very positive one. The location is great and it is accessible to many places that we want to explore on foot. If you are not sure where to explore or how to get to a place, the friendly hotel staff will be more than happy to provide you with the information. The selection of this hotel, I must say, it’s just perfect for me and my family who are first time visitors here who want to spend more time exploring the place but less on money on accommodation. For the price we pay, we get a comfortable and clean hotel. My only complaints are: my room kettle does not turn off automatically when the water boils. This can be a hazard if no one is around to notice it. The breakfast area doesn’t seem to be of enough manpower because this morning , when we went there for breakfast, there was no staff at the entrance to take down our room number nor lead us to a table. We waited around for a while and decided to help ourselves to an empty table. But this was a very small issue. Nonetheless, I am just giving feedback which I hope can be helpful.

“Certainly different standards to our Australian ones, but a clean and decent place to stay.”

A welcome respite from the heat and humidity. Love the "rules" - no laundry to be done in rooms!!! The room was decent and bed reasonably comfortable. I dislike shower over bath situations.

A welcome respite from the heat and humidity. Love the "rules" - no laundry to be done in rooms!!! The room was decent and bed reasonably comfortable. I dislike shower over bath situations. Too hard to manoeuver in to have a decent shower. I don't know why they have a "bar" with a food menu in the foyer, it takes ages to get the food and the drinks, which come from the bowels of the hotel somewhere. The breakfast buffet was quite well provisioned. The pool and bar on the roof-top were there, but the photo on the hotel website is misleading. The rails on the outer edge of the pool are minimal, and the views aren't inspiring. You can see the river from the roof, but the rest of the view is not attractive. What was hard to cope with was the front stairs to the entry door - they were highly polished granite with no grips or handrails whatsoever. And given that it often rains in Ho Chi Minh, a bit of a concern when negotiating.

We spent 3 nights in this Hotel, which was located in District 1 close to the Opera house and other tourist attractions. The property was a spacious property with decent size rooms. The breakfast layout was limited with limited vegetarian / Vegan options. The biggest challenge was that hardly any of the staff could understand and speak English and those who were in the customer facing duties also spoke very limited English. The restaurant Chef could hardly understand any English and we found pretty challenging to explain him the type of food we wanted from the live counter and always received something different than what was ordered. Rest the staff was helpful and tried their best to assist wherever needed, but language issues prevented them to provide a smooth experience.
