The Village House: "Relaxing and chill"

Review by: Phil22091991 | Source: Trip Advisor
Seemingly in the middle of nowhere this hotel was a complete surprise to me. The staff were all incredibly friendly and really helpful with arranging things such as going to the national parks, when the shuttle bus didn't come the boss drove us himself. All the food was fantastic as where the cocktails, highly recommend this place.friendly

The Governor’s House: "Colonial charm"

Review by: Gail-in-Oman | Source: tripadvisor.com
The Governor's House is perfect for travelers looking for something beyond main stream. This colonial house has a great deal of character and charm. Each room has it's own style with an interesting mix of antiques and contemporary touches whilst the communal areas evoke a bygone era. We enjoyed breakfast in the tranquil garden... I can highly recommend the Eggs Benedict. The garden also has a small pool and relaxing chill area. All the staff are friendly and helpful, especially Yin Yin, who does a great job as GM.

Villa Song: "Romantic French mansion converted to a beautiful hotel"

Review by: Renato P | Source: Trip Advisor
"Villa Song is chic neighborhood of Saigon with many mansions from the time of the French colonial era overlooking the Saigon River. The hotel is one of those classic mansions that got converted in a hotel retaining its character but adding many modern amenities (high speed internet, a great pool in the back yard, a riverside restaurant in the front, ...). The rooms are classic and very comfortable -- the bed in particular is incredibly comfortable. The breakfast is great -- it is a la carte where you choose from several options in a menu -- we tried a few of them and all of them looked wonderful. Since it is a la carte and freshly prepared you can order breakfast anytime from 6am to 10pm and since the breakfast is very substantial (and some of the Asian breakfast options look like lunch for my Western eyes), you can order them even as your lunch if you want. The neighborhood is lively and hip -- it is the home of a bunch of nice restaurants, craft breweries (which seems to be a big thing right now in Saigon) and trendy coffee shops. This is a bit far from the historical city center of Ho Chi Minh City, but the hotel has a shuttle boat departing from a small pier in front of the hotel (a taxi back from city center takes 25 min and around 200000 vnd = 10 usd) . It is a wonderful city full of history so make sure to take the boat and walk through the city center -- it is really beautiful."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Bangkok’s best kept secret hotel"

Review by: Tripp H | Source: Trip Advisor
I only knew about this hotel due to the history of the Chakrabongse family, and therefore really wanted to stay there. Quite frankly it feels that you are staying in a private house in the epicentre of old Bangkok rather than a hotel. We stayed in the garden room, and even had friends over for dinner on the terrace for one of the nights. I wish I could afford to stay here every time I am in BKK, but think I will just have to settle for when I want to treat myself (and the wife !) to something special. absolutely brilliant place to stay.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "wonderful place"

Review by: Stephen L | Source: Trip Advisor
Sadly we could only stay one night, we will definitely be back. Tasteful and top quality in every respect. We felt relaxed after one day like we'd been there a week! The staff were lovely, friendly but unobtrusive
