This hotel has a spectacular location, which would have been even better had we not visited during Tet, when many local establishments are closed. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff is attentive and friendly. For me, the best aspect of the hotel was the delicious breakfast, featuring local foods. I particularly enjoyed the preserved duck eggs...they were... More

Functional hotel with comfortable beds and good hot showers....good location for exploring the city. Very helpful staff and clean presentable rooms. Buffet breakfast was ok though not substantial. Sadly no view to speak of with one very small window.

This hotel was ok. It was clean enough and was fine to spend a few nights, but probably wouldn't go back. When we checked out they tried to charge us for washing and water that we hadn't used however we just told them that we didn't use either of the services and they quickly figured out we didn't so was...

We expected a high standard after experiencing another good hotel in HCMC earlier in our trip but considering what we paid this was a disappointing hotel. The room was very small and the both the room and bathroom need updating. The worst thing was that there was only a tiny window which you couldn't see out of or even raise... More

We stayed here four days in a row and were very happy. The breakfast buffet we did not get once as we ate outside and I am not a big fan of these types of breakfasts. The location is right next to some good eateries such as Pho 2000 (great cheap Beef pho 55dongs), Pizza Hut (much better than the... More

The Sophia hotel has been a pleasure to stay here. The staff are very professional and so helpful. The young man who I think is the manager (if he isn't he should be) has made our stay so easy. The location is central to everything in district 1 and has nice restaurants close by also an Aussie rules pub (... More

We stayed here for three nights when returning back to Sai gon from Mui ne. The hotel was very clean and simple. Breakfast was not so good. The location was OK took taxis to most everything we wanted to see as walking in the 45 degree temps and sunshine was too much for us to do often. We had to... More
