ibis Saigon Airport
Just an overnight stay for an early flight, but it was a perfect choice for me — clean, quiet, looks new, quick shuttle ride to airport. Fast check-in and checkout.

Le Saigon Hotel
Over All ok

Sherwood Residence
Everything about this property is about convenience A) not to far from the City center so you can walk there but far enough to avoid most of the traffic B) benefit of an apartment hotel (large rooms...) with some limited services (restaurant in premises, taxis...) C) gym is OK (but could be better...) ...

Saigon Sirius
Our biggest concern with the Saigon Sirius is that it is actually located at the River Gate Residences. The check in process is very sketchy. There are signs at the lobby entrance saying no short term rentals allowed. You have to contact someone when you arrive & they let you in.

Sherwood Suites
