Le Méridien Saigon

I have travelled to Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon seven times in the last 18 months. I tried three different hotels and without a doubt, Le Meridien is the best run hotel in Saigon. From the check-in staff to concierge to the Executive Lounge staff to the General Manager, Stephan, this hotel is first class. Each and every person is hired with care and they genuinely are concerned that your stay at their hotel is exceptional. Every employee is pleasant, personable and professional. Special shout out to San Le. |Even the food in the Executive Lounge is so good that you never need to leave the hotel for dinner if you don't want to. I do not give many reviews but I have now stayed at this hotel five times and it deserves to be given a great review. Besides the great service, the view of the river is exceptional and the location is very convenient to restaurants and downtown. As a Marriott Titanium member, next year Ambassador level, I can confidently say try this hotel and you will sincerely enjoy your time in Saigon.

Overall, I had a great experience at Le Méridien, though there’s room for improvement. When I arrived around 4 PM—already past check-in time—I was told my requested room (same floor as my friend) wasn’t ready, despite emailing my arrival time and request in advance. Another room was available on a different floor, but I was a little disappointed. That said, Tina at the front desk did her best to accommodate me and offered alternatives, which I appreciated. Still, I expected smoother service from a 5-star Marriott property. The room and amenities were standard but comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide selection, and the service overall was top-notch. The location is ideal—close to Japan Town, central for Grab rides, and with a lovely river view. A special mention goes to Khang Lam from the concierge team, who went above and beyond with recommendations, luggage assistance, and support throughout my stay. His professionalism truly elevated the experience. In summary, while check-in could have been better, the excellent service, food, and location made this a memorable stay. Thanks to staff like Tina and Khang Lam, I would happily recommend this hotel and look forward to returning.

📍 Location – ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)|Not as far from the center as it looks on the map, but let’s be honest: in Saigon’s humidity, you’ll be summoning a Grab before you know it. Ben Thanh Market is walkable if you’re brave, but if you want the full chaotic city life right outside your door, pick somewhere else. For a business trip? Works fine.||🛏️ Rooms – ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)|We had a double queen room—fine, but smaller than I expected. The bathroom, however, was nice: separate tub and shower, plus a massive glass wall between bed and bath. Cute for couples, awkward for friends… thankfully there’s a curtain for modesty.||🍳 Breakfast – ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)|It looks impressive, but the flavor doesn’t match the spread. Pastries were dry, beef was chewy, juices watered down. Big disappointment for a brand like this. Halal options exist (and labeled), but taste still fell flat. At ~500,000 VND per person, it’s just not worth paying extra—better to hit a local café nearby for coffee and a croissant at a fraction of the price.||💪 Amenities – ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)|Now we’re talking. The gym is excellent—well-equipped, spacious, and gym-bro approved 💪. Right next to it, the rooftop pool on the 9th floor has a killer view. Not huge, but refreshing after a sweaty day in the city or a workout.||✅ Overall – ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)|Le Meridien Saigon is fine, but for the price I expected more. Friendly staff, good gym, and a nice pool, but the rooms are small and breakfast underwhelming. You can find better value—and a better location—elsewhere in Saigon. Next time, I’ll be booking closer to the action.

its my family first time stay at HCMC, and Le Meridian was the perfect choice of accommodation. from the seemless pickup to the check in by staff Jolie, the conceige who helped intro a good tour guide Jackie to bring us around the city, the morning manager on duty who shared how to go about walking the streets of Saigon, we are simply so thankful. the executive room was so huge and comfortable for our stay. the best view of the Saigon River. perfect 10 for the services and comfort of this hotel. keep up the wonderful hospitality, and we will be back. love from Singapore 🇸🇬

Staff: ★★★★★ - Friendly and accommodating. - Promptly changed the room upon request. Location: ★★☆☆☆ - It’s advertised as the city centre, it lacks nearby restaurants. - A long walk is required to find dining options. There is heavy traffic for transport to the city centre; it is better to order food via delivery services. Room Quality: ★★☆☆☆ - Recommend booking a river view room for a better ambience. Mattress and Pillows: ★★★★ Comfortable - Windows are non-opening, creating a dark atmosphere with dark walls and carpet. (maroon) - May not appeal to those who prefer bright, light spaces. Price: ★★★☆☆ - Pricing is relatively high for this area. Breakfast: ★★☆☆☆ - Limited options; not very impressive overall. Additional Notes - Allocate extra time for travel due to dense traffic. - Consider the room's lighting and decor if you prefer a brighter environment.

The staff were very helpful and attentive. It was crowded on the day of my check in. Staff invited me to take a seat while she processed the guest in front of me. It was so different compared to Renaissance another hotel down the street. Ms Nhung Ha showed personal attention to the guest. Great service!

Stayed here twice. Excellent stay on both occasions! Room was very clean and no funky smelly. Housekeeping would always surprise me with towel arts which was a nice touch to come back to after a long day at work. They even arranged my skincare so nicely. Love the shampoo and conditioner brand too, smells heavenly and relaxing. Breakfast spread was good too, especially the pastries! So many different types. And i love getting iced ca phe to go before leaving for work.

I had a great time. Excellent service. Checkin and checkout was a breeze. The room facing the riverside was fantastic. Bed was comfortable, sturdy yet soft. The bathroom had all necessary facilities. The hotel has a nice bar on the ground floor with excellent cocktails. The club lounge is on the highest floor with great views of the river and new business area.
