The receptionist is unpleasant. The room was not properly cleaned (hair, dust). The soundproofing is very poor — you can hear the roosters from the farm below the building. The shower doesn’t work well. There is a bad smell in the bathroom. The air conditioning and the TV don’t work properly. Very disappointed.

I loved everything about my stay at Emerald Central from check in to check out. It made up for the bad experiences I had with other hotels. It was walkable to a lot of places and a few minutes drive away from District 1 and other areas for Site seeing. A few things that stood out about this hotel was the Front Desk Staffs were very receptive and all spoke fluent english which helped alot and was the only Hotel I stayed over the 3 weeks I was in Vietnam that spoke fluent english, The housekeeping came in a group of about 4 lovely staffs and got my room cleaned within a few minutes and that was just top teir presentation how they worked together so swiftly to get things done while I was there. Don't miss breakfast, it was very good each morning. Thanks to Expedia Team for sending me this great option. It was beyond my expectations.

We stayed here for two weeks and were very satisfied with the service from the staff, including the housekeeping staff. The breakfasts were delicious, the location is very convenient, not far from the airport, close to the city center, and surrounded by food options. If we have the opportunity, we will return
