Villa Song Saigon

At the end of January, my wife and I were in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days. We had been tipped off about Villa Song, a so-called boutique hotel. We usually stay in chain hotels, because I fool myself into thinking that my status with the chains will make us have a better experience. We have tried boutique hotels before and been very satisfied, so we should really do it more often. And that will be the case after this experience. We were very well received when we arrived at 10pm, everything was ready and no problems. That was to be the tone of the stay. The service was incomparable, no question too big, none too small. Our room met our expectations, and then some. Large, airy and with an open solution towards the Song River from our own balcony, it was absolutely clear that the evenings would be spent on the balcony. It should be mentioned that the balcony is exposed to the restaurant below and if you are sensitive to sound, it could be annoying, for us it was not a problem. Breakfast is served a'la carte and all meals can be served right on the riverbank. Great experience and delicious food. The hotel has a saltwater pool, which we think is absolutely excellent, chlorine is not good for your skin. We had a few small misunderstandings based on language, it's not easy when both parties communicate in a foreign language. But everything was always resolved with a smile good laugh. A bit uncentral, but there is a free shuttle by boat. We highly recommend the hotel.

Breakfast wonderful and teh service really nice

Delightful 2 nights, food & beverage prices very good, staff fabulous.

The staff are friendly and eager to do to everything they can to support your stay. I have staid there several times over the past few years and like the location. It is right on the river and a nice small quiet hotel. Food is good. They have a water taxi if you want to go into downtown HCM, which is a fun ride. I like that it offers something different to the large, busy “brand” hotels.

We had a very pleasant stay at Villa Song Saigon. The hotel itself has a lovely colonial style and the staff were friendly and helpful. I accidentally left my mobile phone behind and they were incredibly responsive and sent it by motorbike taxi to me so I could continue my trip with it. Unfortunately the hotel speed boat was out of service when we were there, but the taxi ride to district 1 was fine.
