Hotel lobby is small but still presentable with 2 pc. Room is quite small comparing to La Jolie HOtel and Spa which I stay 2 months ago. Actually both are owned by same boss. Door alarm sensor is always giving problem when open/close the room door. The door cannot close properly which give out nuisance alarm. Many rooms facing the same problem when you can heard alot of guest banging the doors. My superior room doesn't come with free coffee/tea set and when I asked from the staff, they told me that Superior room they don't provide. Maybe because it is the cheapest room in the hotel. Toilet is just nice. Not big. No bath tub.

The best thing about this hotel is that they do provide Halal breakfast for us Muslim. And if the breakfast is not to your liking, you might want to try the delicacies at the Muslim stall/shop across the street. Their noodle soup was very delicious,
And for Malaysians (malay especially), you'll be thrill to know that this hotel is just 2-3 minutes walk from the famous Benh Thanh Market. There are also people selling telekong and many Muslim's attires during the night market.
However, one cons about this hotel is that, the wall seperating each rooms can be considered thin as people walking outside can hear almost clearly what the people inside the room talk., which might have been a bit inconvenient to those having babies, as babies do cries a lot, thus might interrupt other people peacefulness.
All in all, this hotel is must stay for the Muslims if they're thinking of visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

Before we stayed at the Hoang Hai Long 2 hotel, we stayed at more expensive hotels, so I guess this is a case of 'you get what you pay for'. We only paid $50US a night and our room was okay with one small window and a dreadful view, but we were in the big city and that is the real Saigon for you. The bathroom was adequate and clean and the bed was huge and comfortable. We had air conditioning and breakfast was good.
The one thing I really missed was that there was no tea and coffee supplied in the room. There was a kettle and 2 glasses, so we went shopping to try and find some supplies and came back with packets of very sweet condensed milk instead of fresh milk, so I never did get to enjoy a good cup of English tea in Saigon.
The manager of this hotel was very friendly, remembered our names, helped us out a lot and was generally very charming in a nice way. Service was good and laundry service was fast.
From this hotel, we booked a city tour which we really enjoyed and it took in most of the famous sights. We bought a beautiful nest of tables from the handicraft place. I could have bought a lot from there. We decided to bring the tables back with us as extra luggage rather than ship it home. We thought we'd have to pay extra but luckily for us we didn't get charged anything at either end - Saigon or Auckland.
The location of the Hoang Hai Long is very central and right next to a big famous market (called Benh Thai or something like that). Everything is very busy and seemingly chaotic to us quiet New Zealanders, but if you like an atmosphere that buzzes this is the place for you. We bought some nice clothes for our grandchildren at the market.
