Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel

Location is great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean but very dated. Amenities were basic. Hotel room doors didn’t fit the frame well and it didn’t feel secure. The hotel is noisy, as you would expect from the location. The price reflects what you get, and I would leave a better review on this basis, were it not for the fact that the entire hotel smelled of cigarettes, despite there being no smoking signs everywhere! If you’re looking for something basic in a great location on a budget, it will be ok, but don’t expect anything beyond functional.

Pros: Fairly Central location. We walked to Cafe Apartments and other attractions. Comfortable bed. Clean room. |Breakfast ( included) it was a very good assortment, iced Vietnamese coffee included. |Cons: Staff not very friendly compared to other Hotels we stayed at in Vietnam. Very strong fragrance in lift! We asked for recommendations on local places to eat and they couldn’t give us any! |Our room faced the Saigon River and while it didn’t bother us, there was a lot of noise from the street below and a big bright light advertising billboard screen which illuminated at night across the road. The noise and the light could bother some. |Also, the main issue was we weren’t notified when we made a reservation that they |wanted a 1,500,00VND bond, even though the accommodation was paid for in full. We were told when we checked in. |( 1 million = about $90 AUD) |It then took 10 days before our enquiry was answered as to why we have not received our bond back. |Would not recommend this hotel.

We have stayed a number of times at the Liberty Central Saigon Riverside. The staff are always very welcoming and even remembered us from past stays. The rooms are a good size and the beds are comfortable. Easy to get a good nights sleep with good blockout curtains. I particularly like the walk-in shower as opposed to some other hotels which have the shower over the bath. I would recommend breakfast in the restaurant which has a good selection of local and classic favourites. The staff in the restaurant go above and beyond (in particular the staff member Mint who looked after us). There is a nice rooftop pool with some great views over the river area (there is a couple of flights of stairs to get up to the pool,bar and gym areas). Overall a great value hotel.

I really like this hotel, it has fantastic sky bar with swimming pool outdoor and I especially enjoy when I use benefit on 23rd floor. I could join the afternoon tea with small bites of cake, fruit and evening cocktail with unlimited food and drinks per day. It’s very nice for knowing and talking to Uyen, a pretty host member from the Executive Lounge. She usually gives me happy and cozy vibes, always takes tiny care of me. I appreciate it all here.

During my business trip to Ho Chi Minh City, I had a truly pleasant stay at Liberty Saigon Riverside Hotel. The location couldn’t be more perfect — right in the heart of District 1 and just a short walk from the city’s vibrant tourist spots. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully modern, making it easy to relax after a long day. What stood out most was the warm and friendly hospitality of the staff — always helpful and welcoming. Considering the quality of service and location, the price is very competitive. I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning to stay in Ho Chi Minh City. A great choice for both business and leisure travelers!

Some things about the Liberty Riverside were great, other things were not. We stayed for one night, expensive room. The air conditioning broke at 10pm and the technician came to fix it, but then it stopped working again, so the whole night was very very hot and it was difficult to sleep well. Room was clean, good minibar, good shower. The view from the rooftop is nice, but the food that we had was definitely not worth the price. We ordered the grilled chicken. It came with a few fries and a small salad. It was overcooked and very tough and dry. No sauce. Minimal seasoning. This was 290K per plate. You can find better cooked and tastier chicken for 50 or 60k on the street. A bit disappointing there. Drinks were nice, but also just a bit overpriced. Juice was about 110k I think, but tasted the same as a 25k juice from the street. The TV in the room doesn't have Netflix. In 2025, this is kind of surprising and disappointing for me at a luxury hotel. You can find much smaller and cheaper hotels that have Netflix and smart TVs. But the staff were amazing, very friendly and kind. Service was great, especially at checkout and check-in. I would go there again, but maybe not use their restaurant.

Perfect location very accessible to nearby restaurants and most of the food nearby is really good. Or taking grab transport is very affordable too from the hotel. Overall, very pleasant stay, had a surprise birthday cake from Receptionist Binh :). Thank you so much for the treat. |Hotel room high floor and facing riverside good choice. Breakfast wide range buffet options. Rooftop bar very relaxing. The bistro looked interesting, with chess board, dart & table soccer! A definite comeback again, as it was 2nd time visit.

The hotel location is perfect in district 1. You can practically walk anywhere and because you’re by the river, you don’t feel congested as it’s open in front.Service is brilliant! The staff even helped me find a good phone shop nearby (drew me a a map even!)1. Just warning, you might be cautious of rooms with windows as the huge new signboard across the river shines through at night.2. They can provide you with an iron, but no ironing board.4. Breakfast is simple but for the small selection, the quality is brilliant
