NHAT HA LAVISH HOTEL

The hotel is in a really good location. It’s a block or 2 off the busiest and noisiest parts of district 1 by Ben Thanh market. The block it’s on isn’t as crazy busy. Bedding was very comfy and the room was a decent size. Like many of these older buildings converted into hotels in Vietnam, noise isolation isn’t the best. But it isn’t any worse than other similar type hotels. Water pressure for showering was good, except the hot water specifically was inconsistent. But again, not any worse than similar hotels. The main issue I had with the hotel was that they tried to charge me for the water in the fridge. Even though they didn’t make clear to me on check in that the water in the fridge was charged and the 2 bottles not in the fridge was free. Normally I wouldn’t make such a mistake. But as you can see in the pictures. The water in the fridge is the exact same brand, same water. The only difference is that it’s 500ml vs the free water that’s 350ml. That’s very confusing. Especially when there’s nothing else in the fridge. I had to argue about it at reception before they struck it off my bill. If you’re going to charge people for water in the fridge then at least inform them or like most hotels do, give nicer (ie mineral) water. Otherwise it was a decent stay.

The hotel was located in the old town, within walking distance of all the sights. It was newly opened, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. Photo: view from hotel window.

The shower is either too cold or too hot. Cannot be adjusted. The bathtub leaks like a waterfall no matter how careful one is. It is impossible to step on a dry mat. The light behind the vanity is not sufficient to shave comfortably. The room is very clean but bare. The complimentary items are the tea and a 3 in 1 mixture instead of coffee.

There is a water pump sound on 3rd or 4th floor. The sound gets annoying when it starts pumping at 6am in the morning until I left at 8am.

We had a room with a view. Love the location. Short walk to Ben thant market and Saigon Square but away from noisy areas. Breakfast suits my asian palate. One small complaint is that it's difficult to control the temperature of the shower.

Extremely good location, In the heart of HCm Just 10 mins walk to most shopping location and restaurants all within 15mins walk. We chose the biggest room in the hotel, which is spacious. Breakfast is simple affair
