The very best Hotel in Vietnam if not SE Asia

“As my review title says this is hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at, Ive travelled the world and been luckily enough to stay at some amazing places but this place is just something else.

Room:
I booked this hotel for 2 nights to finish off my mini tour of Vietnam and my only complaint was I didn’t book it for longer. We had the sanctuary river room which was stunning this room also had a small balcony however not all rooms do so its worth double checking, I didn’t realise this and the hotel allocated the balcony room to us via email which is a fantastic touch.

The room itself was large spacious and bright with modern touches but keeping its french colonial style and i don’t think I’ve ever slept in a more comfortable or bigger bed! It must be about 10 foot long.

Service:
Absolutely out of this world. From the moment you arrive to check out all staff are helpful friendly and literally can’t do enough to ensure your stay is a memorable one.

On our last day we didn’t fly till midnight so had asked if possible could we have a late check out, unfortunately for us the hotel was fully booked but we were assured that we could shower and use all facilities until we were ready to leave.
5 minutes after being told this Yega the GM called our room and offered us another room to use until 6PM as they didn’t have anyone arriving to that room until 7.30PM that night.
This was an amazing helpful gesture and made our last day much more comfortable the hotel only has 23 rooms all designed differently so i can see sometimes when full how it can be a logistical nightmare to accommodate such requests as ours but they were met without any problems and no extra charge.

We only eat here once for dinner and the food was out of this world Kevin the head chef is always around mingling with guests telling you about his food and wines, He’s a very talented knowledgeable man who really is at the top of his game in his role, He took time to tell me how they prepared and cooked the pork i had as well as asked us which strength cheeses and flavours we liked for the cheese board after dinner.

Al A Carte Breakfast was amazing the both times we had it a wide range of western,healthy and asian cuisine to choose from. The eggs Benedict are a must all served with fresh fruits and juices and coffee. You can have this from 6AM till 10PM these are the little touches that set this hotel apart from anywhere else.

Lastly make sure you make use of the hotels free speedboat to district 1. Miss all the madness of the traffic and speed up the saigon river taking in the views. There was only me and my partner on the boat and the captain took some amazing pics of us with the HCM skyline in the background he was great and it was a memorable experience.

Villa Song Saigon i will be back!”
