Elios Hotel

This was the best hotel that we have experienced in Vietnam 🇻🇳. The staff are very helpful, The room that we had was very modern and a great view over the Park. Breakfast was the best from all the hotels. The people working at reception are very friendly and helpful. To all the staff from the Elios 🏨 Hotel keep you service at all times, what we have experience. Once again, weldone. We appreciate what you have done for us.

Allright, so the Elios doesn't feel as welcoming as some others in the area, but I still found it a great choice. The ladies at reception were particularly helpful, even making personal phone calls for me, as I don't speak Vietnamese. The breakfast buffet is really as good as at the more expensive Alagon, Sanouva, etc. in District 1. Excellent variety and helpful staff there again. My only wish for improvement would be a somewhat softer mattress – but it's really not a deal breaker. AC worked fine. Noise level acceptable. |The hotel has two elevators, and only one of them goes to the 12th floor for the rooftop breakfast – so interesting. When you want to go down, you can actually play both elevators against each other: press Down on both and see which one arrives first!|Right now, the whole pavement on busy Pham Ngu Lao street outside is being repaved: if you plan to walk to and from the hotel (as many people do), you will have to use the street edge (everyone does) most of the time; for some, this may be very uncomfortable if not hazardous, given the heavy traffic, including all the monster buses that stop there for long-distance destinations (a nice convenience though, if you're planning bus travel). Apparently every shopfront is responsible for refurbishing their own section of pavement. While the Elios finished its pavement a long time ago, some of the businesses haven't even started! The stretch between the hotel and the Do Quang Dao cross street on the left as you exit is especially problematic right now; going to the right to De Tham is not too bad. Dropoff and pickups by taxi are never a problem, of course.

Decent hotel. Rooms weren't that fancy but we're bad either. The beds were a bit squeaky. The room sizes also varied for the same booking. Service wasn't bad but could be better. Location was great and we could walk to most places we wanted to go to. The breakfast buffet was good and had a bit of variety that changed a bit each day. The food kept us full without feeling sick. The view was great from the top floor balcony while having the breakfast buffet. The lobby has a weird smell and one of the rooms we stayed in as well.

I stayed at this place. The hotel is located at mere 650m from Ben thanh market and other main tourist attraction. It has a very good breakfast however you will be sorely disappointed with the staff behaviour. The usual checkout time is 12:00 PM, and they are very strict about it. My parents are old and I requested a late check-out for one room ( I had two rooms) and they denied. Even a mere two hour late check-out was rejected and required an additional payment of 300.000 dongs. Unbelievable to me. In all the hotels, you will greeted with a nice room or a beverage, over here I was greeted with below card, which included incidental charges. Horrible. As the fate had it, I broke a drinking glass, as I slipped on slippery bathroom floor, (the water spills over, yeah). I requested a waiver, which was rejected stating that if I don't pay, the cleaning maid would be made to pay. What kind of sick people are they? I promptly paid the incidental charge. In other hotels, where I stayed, such small accidental breakage, were always overlooked. Anyways, book at your peril, the rooms are full of termites, so be careful. Rooms are really very small, and any requests would rejected. I will never recommended this place.

Great hotel. Well located in district 1. Rooftop restaurant with great views. Good selection at breakfast Room is spacious and large bathroom. Very good value for money. 3 blocks from Ben tan market 1 block from walking street. Late check-out available.

If you want your butthole bombed out by a diarrhea torpedo, eat the free breakfast. I’m thinking something like the rice congee/porridge is recycled, new batches mixed in with old. Our western and Vietnamese bellies were fine for a week until this meal. It looks nice, tasted nice, with bad results I’m still feeling days later.

Very nice and clean hotel. Located right in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, a few steps from the beautiful Bui Vien. The breakfast is very varied and impeccable. I highly recommend it. A heartfelt thank you.

Service: The security/door men provided great service! They went above and beyond. Front desk can be a bit unaccommodating and ~scammy~ though. They charged us 500k to upgrade our two rooms to a window and be side-by-side. There's luggage storage with a receipt, and they may store it in a separate area downstairs too. Good lobby area for waiting/chilling. Room: We had room 301 and it was clean for the most part. No ants in sight even though we had some food laying out. Hot water takes a bit to heat up, but it gets really hot once it gets going. It's very quiet, the only noises are from other rooms (like running water or AC). Location: Close to some good eats, and it's in front of a park. It's also near Bui Vien, but I personally don't like that area very much. There's a 7-Eleven close by as well. A lot of construction in the area though, so it's difficult to walk along the sidewalk.
