Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had already enjoyed Saigon in a mid budget hotel for 5 nights at the start of our 3 week Vietnam adventure. Our stay at The Continental for our last 2 nights was a birthday gift from my partner as he knows my fascination with its history and architectural glory. We felt like kings in our huge, elegant, Opera View room; oh how I wish walls could talk, I kept expecting Graham Greene to walk past my room and invite me downstairs to the bar for cassis. The breakfast buffet was superb and the staff were sweet and attentive. A perfect place to wind down before flying home. Kidsada and I thank you and your team for a perfect experience.

Title says it all. Very well placed being in centre of District 1 tourist haven and full of old world charm with spacious rooms, good service by well trained staff who appear dedicated and like their work. Good breakfast as well. Sadly, the gym is rated around 2/10. The old world charm offers a bit of a downside as well….everything is old. Don’t think it’s been all that well maintained over the years either. Stayed in two different rooms over a short period with one night each time. Hard trouble with hot water in the shower in both instances. Would return and happy to recommend.

Great location and comfortable hotel in District 1 next to Opera House, sightseeing and shopping. Well worth your stay in HCMC. Efficient reception and check-in. No free airport shuttle. Superior rooms are large, quieter and without exterior windows. Nice room and bath amenities (coffee, bottled water, hairdryer, mini-refrigerator, toothbrush, toiletries). Low-rise historical building. Nice breakfast buffet selection including made-to-order eggs. Curbside seating for bar and restaurant with happy hour specials. Popular special event location for weddings. No pool and limited gym. Easy check-out with accurate billing.

This famous Hotel is very tired & outdated….the service in the restaurant was very poor…rooms were ok but the shower is in the bath!!! Honestly the only thing it’s got going for it? The location…right in the heart of District 1 so you can walk every where

While visiting HCMC I booked for one night with the splendour and architecture of the grand old Hotel Continental with the Opera house and little square next door. It probably goes down as one of those must stay places while in that city. I had a large room with old wooden furniture but the two glass doors at the back of the room didn’t have a view outside, they just had a corridor with meeting rooms the other side. I booked a superior room and the reception said that it has no windows but I didn’t see that anywhere on the booking via a booking website but it did say the room is allocated on arrival so, that’s what I ended up with. I must mention that I didn't book the room directly with the hotel just a superior room via a booking site so that's what I had but it would have been nice to had a view out. I arrived at the hotel early and used the bag store where a label is put on the bag and it is held in the foyer not a separate room or anything, but it seemed pretty safe there. There is a good choice for breakfast which is served in a large dining area. Apart from being an iconic hotel the other important thing is the location of the hotel, close to many of the sights and in the centre. The grand old hotel was ok for the night but there are modern and cheaper hotels in HCMC.

This hotel was a fun way to experience a bit of history. The rooms are quite spacious, as was the style at the time it was built, with high ceilings, plenty of storage space, huge bathrooms and showers, sitting areas, large windows overlooking courtyard or street, and comfortable beds. The wifi is a bit spotty at times, though it does work. The a/c works great. The breakfast buffet is delicious and served in a beautiful courtyard. The location can’t be beat, it is right in the heart of the city, next to the opera house, near many fine trendy shops and restaurants as well as a more local market for bargains. But the real reason to stay here is for the history, dating back to the late 19th century. It is the oldest hotel in town, founded during the French colonial period and visited by celebrities, journalists and dignitaries. The hotel is full of period photos and history exhibits. and the rooms are furnished with genuine early-to-mid-century wooden furniture and accessories, some of which are probably original to the property. You really feel like you have entered an earlier time. It’s not the fanciest or most modern/plush hotel in town, simply owing to the passage of time and changing tastes and the rise of newer luxury chains. Still, you can absolutely see that it once was the height of opulence for its day, and it does retain a well-kept-up period elegance. It’s just such a unique and fun place to stay, I highly recommend it if you’re coming to Saigon and want to experience a part of history.

It is such a perfect location in the center of HCMC. I love the naturally ancient vibe from the whole building. The room is spacious with big windows, and generally maintained old fashion style. However, I really expected more. The room should have more plugs near beds and desk to charge electronic devices easily. The bathroom equipment is a bit old. The service is neutrally good. I hope the front staffs and bellmen smiled with us and showed more professional hospitality. I think if they improve the management and service, it will not waste their unique value.

We spent a lovely couple of days in this historic hotel recently. The rooms are very spacious, somewhat dated, which adds to the ambience of yesteryear but have all the conveniences one needs. Breakfast in the beautiful courtyard was great and we enjoyed our stay. Waiting staff attention in the coffee shop, particularly when you sit outside, needs improvement. I hope the hotel will keep or even increase its historic ambience when it is refurbished.
