Caravelle Saigon
When we accidentally left some specialty food items behind, the staff were very nice to keep them in cold storage for us until we could arrange to get them. The location in HCMC could not be better, and the food and amenities are excellent. Always our first-choice "go-to" place in Ho Chi Minh ...
