"The hotel is located in the center of the city so everything is super accessible. The post office, cathedral , Ben then market, Bui Vien walking street are walkable from this hotel. The hotel rooms are nice and clean. The only thing I did not like was the breakfast spread. The hotel has not taken into account people who are vegetarian or vegans. There was literally nothing that I could eat except for bread butter jam and coffee and a few pieces of fruits. The staff was very courteous, kind and helpful. I will give them 5 star"

"We loved the Lotte hotel inn Ho Chi Minh. Easy to get to everything we wanted to see, e.g the war museum, markets, restaurants etc. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal, the staff impeccable, and the facilities were perfect. The only negative was that the Lotte hotel had now spoilt me so much, I don’t think I want to stay in any other hotel chain in the future."
