Recommended five-star stylish hotels in Ho Chi Minh City

Last time, I booked a stay at Mai House, a hotel with a name that's remarkably easy to remember. This newly opened hotel in District 1, close to Little Tokyo, is quiet, safe, and comes highly recommended. The cost-performance ratio is exceptional, equivalent to a five-star, and the best part is that it's new, beautiful, and very user-friendly, haha. The hotel is charming, comfortable, and chic without being pretentious. The outdoor pool is brand new, spacious, bright, and clean. The rooms are neither too small nor too large, with a comfortable and elegant atmosphere in a stylish white color scheme. It avoids the dim and insecure feeling often found in places with yellow and black hues. The fitness center is equipped with very new and adequately sized facilities, unlike some old five-star hotels in Vietnam where the equipment is so outdated that you wouldn't want to touch anything, let alone break a sweat. The welcome drink and dessert are thoughtfully prepared, and once you try them, you instantly understand their nostalgic and exquisitely French charm. Breakfast is semi-buffet style with an option for à la carte ordering. The butter pancake is simply delicious and beautifully presented—truly a butter pancake, not just an ordinary pancake. Talking about it is making my mouth water! #hochiminhguide
