Nothing much to write about, clean and basic. Good location in district 1 where everything is based. Pool poor and dangerous (don't take kids there) steps into pool steep and no other entrance, only opens at 11am? Staff in front desk don't speak much English and when you ask them about something they don't know how to respond back well.

The room, service and especially the dining was excellent at the Kimdo. Only downside is that the bed was like a rock and the sheets felt like burlap. So, I wouldn't stay away... but the Kimdo is on the most comfortable hotel for the money in Saigon.

Roaches in the room, dated furnishings and an absolute poor excuse for a gym. Gym is NOT functional! Definitely not worth the money. Only plus points is the good location, but security personels are oblivious to the pimps harassing guest at night. Not suitable for families.

Kimdo is located in district 1 close to the river, shopping, major attractions, markets within walking distance, a department store almost next door, so from a location perspective it is well positioned. The hotel is a bit dated. The rooms, depending which you choose, are comfortable for what you pay. Stayed over 5 nights in three different rooms. The suites... More

A lovely hotel located right in the centre of town and close to all the attractions, including the Opera House, Reunification Palace, Ben Thanh Market and Backpacker district. The room was large with wooden finishing's, very clean and very comfortable. Best of all was when I arrived early in the morning, they had a room ready for me to check... More

Stayed 2 nights in this hotel while on a tour of Vietnam. The location is fantastic, right in the center of the city, close to the city hall, the opera and a short walking distance to the market. Very attentive and polite staff, very good rooms, great airconditioning. Can't comment about the price, as it was payed by a tour... More

I was on vacation last November 2012 to witness my friend's wedding in HCMC and decided upon this hotel which is also known as Saigon Royal Hotel. The location is great as it is smack within the city area near the famous REX Hotel, but its definitely overpriced. The service and breakfast offered is reasonably good and need improvement. Room...

We booked this hotel for 4 nights to stay in HCM whilst visiting a friend for the last few days of our trip. As the weather in the north of Vietnam was pretty dreary, we decided to book a more expensive hotel to take advantage of the pool facilities advertised in between visiting the tourist spots. However do not be... More

Pros: The location of this hotel was fantastic for exploring HCMC. The room was large and the bed huge. The breakfasts were good with a large selection of western and Asian food. The staff were generally very helpful. Cons: Whilst the room was superficially very clean, I saw a number of cockroaches (mostly in the bathroom). I'd agree with the... More

I spent 3 nights in the Kimdo and whilst not the most amazing hotel it was ok - comfy beds, large rooms, a decent buffet and friendly and polite staff. However I was sincerely dissapointed with the hotel's fitness suite on the final night. First I found I would have to pay simply to use the pool - ridiculous in... More
