Thao Dien Village

Very friendly helpful staff, cheap as chips, and great location in District 2 for local shops, coffee shops, and the impressive Annam Gourmet deli. Highly recommend the superb breakfast on the terrace overlooking the river at Villa Song next door! However…our hotel was undergoing refurbishment (not mentioned by any website) and there was no main entrance, no bar!, and no access to the pool. New doors from our room onto a small balcony were so badly fitted that large insects could crawl in. And one did. The modern bathroom with its concrete walls and floors, dark paint, and no windows wasn’t the best. And bins with no lids in a Vietnamese bathroom are a definite no no! As was our view directly onto a building site where men worked long into the night with spotlights. Serious noise and disturbance that was so unwelcome. It’s a ‘No’ from us.

I loved everything about this place especially the quiet surroundings but filled with so many near by cafes and restaurants and a $7 taxi to city center. The staff here were all amazing, great breakfast, wonderful room that was comfortable, beautifully decorated and excellent price. Lovely pool area and bathroom too. Hats off to the owners who made this my favorite stay in my month in Vietnam....so much so that I extended my stay from 3 to 6 days!

We flew to Vietnam to attend a wedding that was held here & absolutely loved it. Our room was on ground floor right next to the pool which all guests use but we didn’t find that a problem as it’s a fairly small hotel. We stayed 3 nights & ate breakfast there each morning and enjoyed every dish we ate. The staff were wonderful and the bed comfortable. Room was spotless & stylish. There is some construction nearby currently but I think it would be difficult to find a place in this city that’s not in this situation. A few food & drink options in walking distance were great too. Highly recommend

I am surprised reading the negative reviews about this place. It is true, as one reviewer noted, that the pictures are misleading in that the huge pool shown doesn't exist these days. It does have a nice pool, but it is small, and doesn't front the river. That said, the grounds are stunningly beautiful--very well planted and lush, which is really nice, given the hot Vietnam sun. It has a large bar and several dining options along the Saigon river--which is really a nice setting to relax.||||My experience regarding the service and attitude of staff is the opposite of many reviewers--I thought the staff was very friendly, and extremely engaged and helpful--perhaps the negative review were taken to heart--but whatever, I saw nothing negative about the staff. It is true they are relaxed, so if you are in a rush, or just want faster service--just ask. I don't think they are inattentive--they are just relaxed. And, were always very accommodating when I was there.||||My room was very nice. Clean, modern, and I really liked it.||||The location is in a more westernized section of Ho Chi Minh--I preferred that not because I cared about westernized feel--but because it is a newer section of the city--and about 10 minutes from the downtown, and it is therefore much more relaxed and peaceful. Saigon is a riot of action, so I like having a more subdued place to relax--it is very easy to get into Saigon for sight seeing or whatever.

Great Place. The sitting near the river side was awesome. Cool wind throughout. Nice clean rooms. Good food and beverages. Enjoyed my 3 day stay. The hotel management has done a good job on keeping the insects and mosquitoes away by regular fumigation as it's a very green place.

Vinh is a fantastic manager and helped ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed when I arrived tired after my journey. Grateful for the hotel's measures to be ecologically aware as well. I hope the hotel can invest in a larger and more visible sign - the driver had a difficult time locating it.

Had our wedding for 200 pax here in January 2015 and we booked out the rooms. I think pretty much everyone had a good time and none of us has any complaints about this gorgeous boutique hotel. The rooms are all differently set up and with the bare necessities but will still make you feel like you are staying at a friend's fancy beach villa. I love the private pool at the main block and the massive balconies on the high floors. Service by the front office is friendly but professional and we have only good things to say about the events manager. The restaurants need some improvement when it comes to serving up at big parties though... Tasting was excellent but when it came down to the day, things came out haphazardly and cold! Service here was horrendous probably due to lack of training. A disappointment to all of us foodies at the party.
