Review by: Zinmalaung K | Source: Trip Advisor
"My aunt and I stayed there for one night. Our lovely room is clean, well-decorated and luxurious. The staffs, students from the vocational training center, are very friendly, helpful and they make sure that we are having the best stay. The bed is very comfortable. Lodging asides, breakfast was very delicious. Many thanks to our host Ko Min and staffs for the hospitality. I would definitely recommend it to others. Stayed March 2016"

Maduzi Hotel: "Amazing Room"

Review by: Cheryl L | Source: Trip Advisor
Maduzi is accessible, 5 minutes walk from asoke. The room is super spacious and bed was so comfortable. We had such a great rest every night. Panpuri products provided for bath was fantastic too. Gym facilities was good too.

The Hue House: "Amazing food!"

Review by: marcstussak | Source: Trip Advisor
"The hue house is absolutely amazing restaurant! It is hard to find as it is located on the 10th floor of the bussiness buildig/ hotel and has no advertisement leading you to the restaurant. Due to this, the place is still undiscovered from tourists and there are always available tables( even for big groups). Regarding to the food- it is the best place in saigon to eat viatnameese food! Strongly recomended! Staff is increably polite and friendly and the view from the rooftop is outstanding! If you are in saigon- you should definitely come here to get the hue exerience!"

The Hue House: "Roof restaurant Tops it in Ho Chi Min City"

Review by: advisormattaust | Source: Trip Advisor
"This roof top restaurant is a lovely spot in district 3. You wouldn't know it was there as the front of it looks like an office block. Look for the Masters Building in Tran Cao Van (just around the corner from the Novotel Hotel). Food was sensational together with great service from our waiter Anh Phuc. It has a lovely ambience and decor with a great drinks / food variety menu catering for all tastes.We went there twice whilst in HCMC, highly recommend this restaurant. We didn't book either time and was able to get in easily . My tip: try the Ga Nurong Dan Toc A Luoi - grilled Chicken"

Tugu Malang: "Warm friendly and so much Character"

Review by: Carole D | Source: Trip Advisor
"From the moment we arrived ,we were greeted with the most warmest of smiles. It didn't take long before the staff greeted us by our Christian names. Our room was beautiful and on the bed a welcome post card, a nice touch. Everything about this hotel is amazing, the service the cleanliness, the amenities , and the spa was divine. We took an organised tour through the hotel as it is very much like a museum. So much art and wood carvings, the walk down ""The Love Avenue"" towards the Sahara room was simply beautiful. The food in the Resturant, you just cannot fault, 5 star all the way. Afternoon tea is provided each afternoon with some traditional Javanese sweets. We had booked for 2 nights only but extended another night , just really couldn't leave. If I could give this place 6 star, I would. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our stay in Malang very enjoyable. "

Villa Song Saigon: "So friendly it feels like home"

Review by: maria_fridlund | Source: Trip Advisor
"HCMC is chaotic and after a day in the city it is so nice to come ""home"" to this wonderful place. The shuttleboat is great and so is the food and the poolarea. Perfect for families as well as for couples. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Villa Song Saigon: "Great location and the service is first class"

Review by: Gordon C | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel worked perfectly for us as a final day/night before flying home. It is a high end boutique hotel, at a good price, in a quiet location right by the water's edge. eating out by the water was very relaxing and although the hotel is on the opposite bank from the main tourist area you can have the best of both worlds as their boat service enabled you to easily cross over with the benefit of a free river tour...The rooms are of a very high standard and the icing on the cake was the standard of service. Whoever we talked to from the staff couldn't have been trying harder to help us. Additionally we had a very late flight out in the evening. They tried very hard to accommodate us having a room for an extended period. When this wouldn't work, as they were full, they provided us showers and access to a room to change in. You can't ask for more and if in Ho Chi Minh City again we will definitely be back. Thank you for making the end to our holiday so good. "

The Village House: "Best homestay in Kuching, Sarawak"

Review by: msbel2012 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Approximately 40 mins from Kuching International airport to The Village House (taxi ride is about MYR60/ car). This place is a total gem, very well hidden (no kidding as there's nothing much to explore around this homestay except for a quiet beach). If you're going for a short weekend to relax & chill with friends or couple, then this would probably be the best choice but if you're thinking to have a party there, maybe not unless you've pre-booked all their rooms! Food and drinks (Tiger/ Heineken beer per bottle is about MYR15 each) are available from morning till 10:30pm at night only (so pre-ordered your food/ drinks before they closed). Staff will clocked off after 10:30pm (Bar/ Cafe will be closed) but 1 of the staff who's staying next to this place is easily located incase of any emergency. I must say their sandwiches & Nasi Goreng Kampung is amazing but Potato wedges (do not try this if you're a big fan of wedges!) & Sarawak Curry Laksa definitely needs some improvement. Prices are affordable. (You can have your food billed to your room & make payment only when you check-out. Visa/ Master card accepted but with 3% surcharge incurred. AMEX not acceptable unfortunately). Rooms & bathroom (attached) are very clean and the air-condition can get pretty strong if you've it switched on the whole day (warning!). The only problem is they've very thin walls if you do not want to be heard by next door or anyone downstairs! They've extremely helpful and attentive staff here named Ms.Aliffah and Flora as they've helped us get our missing mobile phones (left it near the pool area at night), call and arrange our transportation. If you're not a local like me, you can even get some travel tips from them! The nearest sightseeing place is Sarawak Culture Village which is about 10 mins drive away (Daytime transportation is about MYR5/ way by car). If you want to explore downtown city centre, it'll be about 30 mins car ride (that'll cost you MYR60/ car per way). Do ensure you make prior transportation arrangement with the staff as there's seriously no transportation available there. I'm already missing this place and just can't wait to be back!"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Lovely hotel in every way"

Review by: Mandy P | Source: Trip Advisor
Just had 4 nights at Cheong Fatt Tze. Beautiful hotel - historic, atmospheric - I constantly wanted to take more photos. Our room was large with great attention to historic feel. The breakfasts were lovely - fruit, varied selections of Asian and Western food - gorgeous dining room too. Staff great. A wonderful experience.
