Great location
Hotel is in a great location very central to most things to do in Ho Chi Minh. Staff are happy to help though they only really have one person that can understand and speak English. Tried doing work online though the internet kept dropping out and really slow asked about it and worked good for 2 hours then went back to how it was. This was the second time I stayed there, first time I found was a better experience than this time sadly.

Excellent Location.
Located on a quiet side street with numerous shops selling t-shirts, sunglasses, shoes etc. The location is excellent. In close proximity to shopping and site seeing. No breakfast is offered at this hotel. They have the facilities but I guess have decided not to offer this any longer. Doesn't matter because you are free to find something in the vicinity. I would stay here again based upon cost and location. Staff were helpful and kind. The staff has limited English speaking skills which means you have to do much of your own research on things to do, etc. I don't speak Vietnamese so they struggled to help me as best they could. Not a problem. I can be a pain at times but they were kind just the same.

Great location, great value!
The location is excellent. It's close to everything. It's on a smaller side street so you're protected from the traffic noise while you're in your room. That's very important because many hotels in Saigon are on busy streets and the traffic noise can make it hard to sleep. The staff is very helpful. The wifi is fast. The air conditioning works great. Great value!

Near Ben Thanh Market
Not bad kocation. 3 minutes wakk th Ben Thanh Market. Mr. Fong, the boss was very helpful and friendly. Only down side is taxi dont always drop you at hotel doorstep if youre going back between 12 midnight and 1am as there is heaps or night market stall around the area and access road is blocked by closing stalls and cleaning up. Taxi ride ti Pham Ngu Lao cost around 30,000 dongs but becareful of rogue taxi drivers. Overall, pleasant stay. Will stay here again.

Nice hotel close to Ben Thanh Market
This hotel is located only a couple minutes walk away from Ben Thanh Market- great for street food and shopping. Even though the area is extremely busy it's quiet at night (although the place across the street was playing loud music throughout the night). The hotel staff are extremely nice and helpful and speak English well. They helped me book tours and taxis when requested. It is close to the airport which cost me $10USD each way. It's probably cheaper if you get a metered taxi but it was more convenient to get a prepaid one. The wifi was fast! My only complaint is that they had overbooked the hotel so I did not get the room I reserved- I ended up with a room with two twin beds instead of a double (I was travelling solo). It wasn't a big deal but something the hotel should keep in mind.

This is quite a wonderful stay at Vuong Tai. Phong, the staff, was super helpful. The hotel condition, the service, and the location is fantastic. It is a gem. I love the state of the art bathroom. It is just a few steps from Ben Thanh market on a small street and it is not noisy at all. Would recommend to anyone! I love to come back here again

excellent hotel in excellent location
We are a couple in our 60s and enjoyed this lovely, modern hotel, very comfortable, and excellent service. The Receptionist couldn't do enough to help us and her English was very good. Also she had good suggestions of what to see and do in Ho Chi Minh. Very central location meant we could walk to nearly all attractions. And yet it was quiet to sleep at night.

Not What You Would Expect - Better
This hotel is in the best location. Close to sights, shopping and food. Not only is it a great location the hotel being in a side street is quiet. Once in side you leave the noise outside. Staff were helpful though the hotel served a very basic breakfast it was adequate for our needs.

Perfect location, AMAZING STAFF, Clean, Comfy
After Expedia screwed up several of our reservations (including this one) I booked in to the Vuong Tai hotel. The hotel itself is located perfectly on a side street across from the Binh Tahn Market. Just far enough away to be clear of all the street noise and close enough to be right next to all the action. The workers at this hotel are so very friendly and helpful many other properties could learn from them. The rooms were spacious and clean, the WIFI worked extremely well and the mini bar was always stocked up. The front desk staff were always smiling and were more than happy to make calls for us and translate for what we needed. They arranged a guided motorbike ride around Ho Chi Minh city for us, arranged cabs to and from the hotel and were never bothered to do anything. The beds were very comfortable, soft, nice pillows and clean. The showers are magic with rain shower head, a hand held shower head and the setting to put on all kinds of sprays and massagers. The aircon blew extremely cold - honestly this property could be charging more if they wanted and it would still be a great value. I would suggest this property 100 times over.

Excellent hotel experience
We have travelled quite extensively and had seen different hotels, motels ; and we have to praise the efforts of the hotel management & staff: - management had invested serious money in UPkeeping the facilities ( 1 billion Vnese Dong to upgrade the elevator) - we stayed in room 603 : queen bed with window and it is clean & fresh + daily room upkeep+maintenance. - on the 6th floor away from all the street noise... I m glad - location is better than others near Ben Thanh market as the hotel is on Luu Van Lang street which is less traffic than Le Thanh Ton and still allow us to all the nearby sites ( restaurants, shopping, transportation,.... ) - Mr. TRUNG , the man of all trade had been more than helpful and done excellent deeds. - front desk staff had been wonderful & professional. - breakfast was ok... nothing to write home about ( limited in choices and should be improved considering the higher prices we had paid for the room ) - there are better priced hotels , at this 3 star level, but the others are old & not as newly renovated... - the old adage : you get what you paid for .... applies perfectly to Vuong Tai hotel.... and we are PLEASED of our 3 DAYS stay. - note we are Vnese expatriates thus we speak Vnese with the staff ; but I had observed staff dealings with foreighers in English with great efficiency.

Great bargain for a quality western style hotel
We had a great time at Vuong Tai! The staff were super helpful, even when we were purchasing tours other than theirs. She even told us that the cooking class they offered was no good for us because of what we wanted. The hotel itself was very nice, with a state of the art bathroom, and everything was clean - a bit small, but great for the price. The location was top notch as well, just a few steps from Ben Thanh market, and on a small street with lots of shops and street vendors. Would recommend to anyone!

Great hotel close to Ben Thanh Market
We recently spent 3 nights at this lovely hotel. The hotel was very clean, had a modern shower (with hot water), and a good breakfast. The hotel does offer free wi-fi, but reception is a little spotty in the room and best received in the lobby. The best thing about this hotel was it's location. It is within walking distance to the many sites of Saigon. Our only complaint was the airport transfer as we were greeted by a mother and her toddler. The car itself was not clean and was missing seatbelts. We felt that this was unprofessional. The hotel itself was amazing and I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Saigon.

Poor hotel
I'll start with the positives, the hotel is in a good location and our room was clean. Negatives ... Do NOT use the hotels offer of transfers-we were completely ripped off!!! They charged us 430,000 to pick us up from the airport and 215,000 for a taxi to drop us off. The taxi set it's meter and it only came to 130,000, I'm guess the hotel pocketed the rest of the money. On our second day we returned to the hotel after ten hours walking round the city in the sun to find there was no water. We reported this and the hotel kept saying "15 more minutes" whilst they were sat around in reception. One and a half hours later there was still no water so we had to go out for the evening without showers and even missed a meal we had planned due to the delay-surely having water to have a shower isn't too much to expect! Our booking said breakfast was included. We missed it the first morning as we weren't told about the times when we checked in, the second day we were offered very poor limited options. We chose jam and toast thinking that nothing could go wrong with this choice however we were given two slices of warm bread not toast and a small sachet of jam. We were very disappointed especially as there was juice dispensers and hot food trays on display which were not being used. I felt that this hotel was closer to a hostel than a hotel and even felt dread each evening I returned worried about what would go wrong next.

Nice room, but poor service and horrible breakfast
They mine as well not serve breakfast at this hotel. The room is cramped with far too many chairs shoved up against the wall. The noodle soup is ramen that I could have bought on the street for 50 cents. The room is nice enough, but service in the hotel is lacking. The porter who showed us to our room waited awkwardly for a tip before leaving. Did not feel comfortable in this hotel and won't be back next time in Saigon.

clean and comfortable room and nice staff
It was a very nice and clean room. The only thing that was frustrating was that I paid extra for the VIP deluxe (or whatever it was called) room and did not receive what I paid for. I got a smaller room, but did not receive any money back, and the "city view" was the back of a building 2 feet from my window. Other than not receiving what I paid for, it was very comfortable and clean.
