After my business was done, I deliberately stayed an extra night to enjoy Vietnam's 'Little Paris of the East,' but honestly, I was a bit disappointed! The hotel is right in the heart of Saigon's old quarter, close to the Opera House and the Governor's Palace. It's surrounded by Saigon's bustling commercial district, so you can just step out and explore. The Governor's Palace and Ho Chi Minh Memorial Square are a short ten-minute walk away, and it's close to the Saigon River. The hotel is a charming, old-world five-star property; the facilities are a bit dated, but they are well-maintained and clean. The bed is very comfortable, and you can watch international Chinese channels and Dragon TV. Outside the window, you can see the Saigon riverside and commercial area, witnessing Saigon's development and changes firsthand. However, the motorbike noise is quite loud – it truly is a kingdom of motorbikes! It's also very convenient to find Vietnamese food and the bar street is nearby. All in all, it was a decent stay!
