Jovia Hotel

I reserve for a suite but they give me a three people room. The room also have a lot of ants. The location is good though. The price is not worth the stay.

My wife and I stayed at Jovia hotel 3 days. Good location near largest market (100m). Lots of bars and restaurants close by. War remanents museum open until 17.30 is 12-15 mins walk, Independance Palace open for tickets until 15.30 is 5-7 mins walk). Breakfast is chaotic, staff do their best but there are not enough tables to accommodate all guests. Mixed selection of food for breakfast, eggs to order brought up from kitchens below. Out of the 6 hotels we stayed at in Vietnam it was the worst breakfast in terms of seating and quality. The room was very small, beds were comfortable, good aircon, and it had a good shower, but there is no storage space in the room, apart from a rail to hang up a few items with a shelf again for small items. If your room is at the back, like ours was there is only a blank wall 30cm from window, we also found the room was also noisy from something we couldn't pin down, but sounded like a plastic chair being dragged over an uneven ground at irregular time day and night? There is a pool on the roof and pool towels are provided in a basket at the top of the steps leading to the pool. There are limited sun loungers(4) and a roof terrace overlooking the small pool with views over the city, which is fairly nice, especially in the evening to be able to see the sunset and parts of the city all lit up. Reception is chaotic around 8am as groups and individual tours appear to leave to their separate ways. Staff are helpful and do there best to keep things moving, but you may have to wait for a breakfast table or to checkout. Overall we would definately not recommend this hotel to friends. Of the 6 hotels we have stayed at in Vietnam this has been the poorest in terms of rooms and service, but it has a great location.

Stayed here for 3 nights as part of a tour and it was excellent. Spacious comfortable room with very comfy bed and nice shower. The staff were all fantastic, so friendly and helpful and put the staff in UK hotels to shame quite honestly. Good breakfast too. The hotel is well placed to explore the city, has a small 24 hour mini mart next door and loads of restaurants nearby at great prices.
