“Great little hotel at great price”

This hotel provides really good service and is really well priced. The room was a little small but was very comfortable and the air conditioning was really quiet. Well located to War Museum, water puppet theatre, markets and shops, and a big row of restaurants that have both Vietnamese and western foods (for the occasions when you get a bit sick of rice). Note: Highlands Coffee is the only place where we found good quality coffee and hot chocolates.

“Brilliant Hotel For The Price.”

When I arrived the staff were friendly, the hotel room (junior suite) was great and whatever needs I had were met. The main thing for me is cleanliness and I had no problems here. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other people. The location may not be the best, but you can easily walk around the district from here and the cabs are very cheap. If you want to stay somewhere at reasonable price, this hotel won't let you down.

“We'll recommend this hotel and will come back if given the chance.”

The junior suite we stayed for 8 nights was cleaned everyday, with the bed linens changed, as well as the towels and toiletries replenished regularly. They even provided us with the universal power point. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful especially the doorman, who suggested to us where to go to eat upon our late night arrival at the hotel from the airport. The daily breakfast was satisfactory, typically Vietnamese style. However, it could be improved by offering other dishes which would cater to other nationalities. We are not complaining as we enjoyed the food but we feel it needs variety. Overall, we can rate Empress Hotel Ho Chi Minh a 4 out of 5.

Area recommendations
District 1 is the most popular for tourists as it offers a lot of restaurants, shopping centres, markets and souvenir shops. In Ho Chi Minh, you can find anything you need and if you don't find it, that means you don't need it!!!

“Good location”

The hotel is extremely good because of the location. Everything is very near since it is at district one. Everything is at walking distance (Less than 30 minutes). The neighbourhood is OK, no so nice but all Vietnam is like that. The maintenance of the room is acceptable for the price. Good relation money-quality.

Area recommendations
District 1 since 90% of the touristic attraction are in it.

“Empress Hotel was Golden to us”

An absolutely stunning hotel and restaurant at a great location and a great price. Close to all sites and pubs/nightclubs in District 1. No more than 50000 VND cab rides to all these places (Le Pub, Go2Bar and Apocalypse). A word of advice is dont walk anywhere after dark and keepyour hands in your pockets. Thieves thrive on tourists in HCM city.

“old hotel, everything is old”

This is an old hotel, but every thing is old, lift is old, A/C is old, and maintenance not good, but breakfast is not bad.

“Empress Hotel - eine Alternative zum Backpacker-Rummel”

Insgesamt ein schönes, etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel, das aber dem Charme nicht schadet. Sehr verschachtelt gebaut, z. B. sind manche Zimmer im 2. Stock gar nicht mit dem Fahrstuhl erreichbar. Möglicherweise ist durch die komplizierte Bauweise auch zu erklären, dass WiFi nicht überall stabil funktioniert. Liegt recht günstig, alle zentralen Punkte sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.

“エコノミークラスのホテルとしては満足”

男性従業員が、みな親切で気分が良かった。フロントの女性が、少しつっけんどんな対応。部屋の掃除は10時に来る。札を出し忘れた日は、『あとで』といっても英語が通じないのか20分後にすぐやってきた。それ以外は充分快適。WiFiもかなり速度が出ていて快適なネット環境だった。
