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.
