The staff were very friendly and helpful. i especially appreciated the breakfast buffet. It had many options to choose from. it was great to have a buy one get one free drink upon arrival at the rooftop bar. the cocktails were good there.
the walls seemed very thin. i could clearly hear neighbors coughing and walking in the corridor. the pool access felt risky and the pool was less appealing than in the photos.

mixed feelings about my stay

decent locationsmall roomrepetitive breakfast
The location was decent. It was close to some attractions.
I found the room i was initially given was quite small, and it lacked a window. The reception didn't seem to acknowledge the problem initially. the breakfast offered was rather repetitive. I wished there was more variety each day.

charmed by the location

central marketconvenient coffee shopsfine rooftop
i found the location very convenient for walking to ben thanh market and saigon market. i also appreciated the proximity to massage places, coffee shops, and convenience stores. the rooftop pool and bar were convenient for a quick dip and drink after a long day, we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!
The room needed a little updating. It felt a bit old compared to other aspects of the hotel.

awkward rooftop accessdiminished pool area
The rooftop access was awkward.. a side stair used by staff led to the terrace. A cheap poster hid the storage, diminishing the space. the 'gallica executive afternoon tea 01 signature cocktail' room was not soundproof. i could clearly hear street noise throughout my stay.
