Villa Sông Sài Gòn

Just finished up a three night stay at this property. We booked Villa Song for it’s location a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of Saigon, as they advertise free transport via a private boat to and from the city. Worth mentioning that this property is a 20-30 minute taxi ride into District 1, depending on traffic. Upon arrival we were informed that they no longer offer the boat service. Not sure why, the reception attendant offered a vague excuse about “the city doesn’t allow us to have the boat service”, something like that. I think at the very least, we should have been informed in advance as this is a main selling point of the hotel. They did offer to pay for one taxi per day into the city, after we expressed our dissatisfaction. Our room was very comfortable, with a nice bed, view to river, good sheets, towels and pillows and a decent bathroom. The pool area is a bit tired; could do with an upgrade to the lounge chairs (stained cushions) and a paint job on the walls. The outdoor dining area, over the river, is very pleasant and the service is attentive. Probably the best of this hotel is the dining. Excellent food. We had both “western” style breakfast as well as Vietnamese style and all were simply incredible. They have a strange beverage policy at breakfast; you can have either a coffee, or a juice. But if you want both, they charge you for one. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Don’t bother with the cocktails, watered down. Stick to beer and/or wine. Also worth mentioning that the property right next door is in the construction phase. It seems like a lot of the materials are delivered in the middle of the night, with men screaming, trucks in and out, and literally a CHAINSAW running for 10-15 minutes at around 1am. This is clearly not the fault of the hotel, but it was rather inconvenient one night. All in all, a pleasant stay with a couple minor glitches. If the boat were running, would probably give 4.5 stars.

An oasis of calm and charm in a beautiful old colonial villa. Lovely river views, excellent dining and even the lack of a lift is no issue - the very attentive staff almost ran up the three floors of the elegant staircase with our heavy luggage!

We just had the most splendid time at VillaSong. We stayed 5 nights and wished we could have stayed much longer. It was just magical to be so close to the vibrant city centre (max 30 min by taxi)and yet in a totally peaceful, beautiful, green envirentment, by the Saigon river. Our room had a balcony overlooking the river, we had beautiful sunrise there every morning, in silence with only the chirping of birds. And just looking at boats going by. Really wonderful. The villa in itself has retained all its charm and is beautifully decorated. And the staff (every single one of them) is very amicable, professional, and at the same time there is almost a family feel. One feels at home at Villa song. Needless to say, we highly recommend it, and look forward to come back. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so unforgettable

Lovely Colonial house on the river. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all very good and we complemented the chef and his kitchen staff for their excellent service and food.|Rooms are well appointed and I enjoyed swimming in the pool.|All the staff were very friendly and helpful.|We had an evening flight and they accommodated a late check out which was very much appreciated.|Worth giving the place a visit

Had a wedding reception there so I stayed with them for two nights. The service was attentive and lovely! They even sent a slice of cake to my room because my birthday was coming up. Highly recommend!

Beautiful boutique hotel in district 2. Huge and we'll designed rooms. The beds were super comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast and boat ride to district 1

Amazing Hotel, Room Balcony view was awesome...they have a boat as well for tours but there is some feud with the boat agency so it's just a decoration at this point (only remotely bad thing from my whole stay). Hotel is near so many great bars and restaurants...besides their delicious food (Rib Eye Steak, Pad Thai, Grilled Salmon were absolute 5 Star) Love this Hotel.

Villa Song Saigon was a true pleasure and we highly recommend it! Nestled amidst beautiful vegetation and right on the Saigon River, it was the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city yet super easy to reach - also thanks to the hotel’s speedboat which was a lovely way to get to the city center. ||Our room which overlooked the river was perfect and I also need to say that the bed was soooo comfortable. Breakfast on the river was also lovely.||Last but not least: The hotel staff were top notch, super helpful and also very accommodating to some special requests (such as storing luggage for us prior to our stay as we went on a Mekong Delta excursion that didn’t allow us to take much luggage). We would highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay here again.
