Out of the 4 Accor hotels I stayed at in HCMC
this month (one week each), this one is supposed to be the **best and most expensive**. But surprisingly, it had the **worst hospitality** compared to the others.
First impression? I actually loved it. The room layout was beautiful, super clean, and had that high-end luxury feel. I was really happy on the first day. But as the days went by, I started noticing a lot of issues—especially with the staff. I usually don’t write negative reviews, but honestly, many of the staff here were cold, unwelcoming, and lacked basic courtesy. It really changed how I felt about staying here.
The worst moment came on my third day. I had some friends over and we planned to have coffee in my room, so I called and requested some. A few minutes later, a woman (who seemed to be in a higher position than a regular housekeeper) came to my door and bluntly asked how much *more* coffee I wanted—as if I was asking for extras. But in reality, the coffee and tea hadn’t even been refilled once. I explained it nicely, but without saying a word or taking off her shoes, she just walked into the room, checked the coffee station, and left. She came back later with the coffee, but her attitude was extremely rude—she looked angry the whole time and didn’t say a word. My friends were shocked and honestly felt uncomfortable. It was embarrassing and made us it really brought down the overall impression of the hotel.
Also, if you’re traveling with kids—this hotel is definitely not kid-friendly. There’s nothing much for children, and the staff don’t seem very understanding or patient with families. I had my little ones with me and really felt like we weren’t welcome or even acknowledged most of the time. It just added to the overall uncomfortable vibe.
For a hotel that markets itself as one of the best in the city, I expected much better. Beautiful space,yes—but hospitality matters just as much, if not more. I truly hope they work on improving staff training and the overall guest experience.
