Friendly, professional staff. The hotel has that old charm and elegance that I personally look for. Beautiful view from the bar and excellent breakfast.

The one thing that is a downside for me is I noticed shark fin soup on the menu. With what we know now of this cruel practice, this would prevent me from staying at The Majestic again. I am sure that this hotel has a talented chef and crew which could create an array of other choices. I would love to stay there again but I can't as long as that's on the menu.

The Saigon Majestic Hotel is a beautiful French Colonial Hotel build in the 1920's when the French occupied Vietnam, It has been beautifully restored to its original elegance and its location right on the Saigon River can't be beat! The staff is super helpful, courteous, and speak very good English. The open bar and restaurants overlooking the Saigon River is a view that makes every drink and meal a special experience, and the area is extremely safe with all the high-end and even bargain shopping you could hope for with plenty of ATM's and transportation available.

As being a hotel from the 1920's, there's lots of different floor elevations with steps & stairs even to access the elevators, and even a stool is required to access the tub and shower in the rooms. So, the Saigon Majestic is NOT a good place for the disabled and infirm. Also, my tub & shower drained very slowly which wasn't surprising with a hotel from the 1920's.

First and foremost, the team at the hotel is outstanding. Every staff member knew exactly what to do and how to answer our questions. If they didn’t have the answer, they helped us find it. They also gave us great hints and tips about the area. Most importantly, they always had a smile on and genuinely cared about us as guests. It’s a tough job to face people day in and day out, and we have a lot of respect for their endless enthusiasm and friendliness. On several occasions, the staff approached us in the lobby to see if we needed help with anything. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. You made our stay very enjoyable, and we truly appreciated our time in Ho Chi Minh City, as well as exploring the surrounding areas. We loved it and will definitely return to Vietnam!

I can't say anything bad about the hotel. We didn't have any negative experiences. However, (maybe) the management could improve by better advertising the Christmas Eve dinner. We found ourselves alone in the dining room, enjoying what felt like a private concert by the band—not that I'm complaining! Despite this, the dinner was high quality and superbly prepared. The service was impeccable. I'm sure other guests would have enjoyed such a holiday feast, but perhaps they weren't aware it was happening at the hotel.

We were excited to stay in this iconic 5* hotel and it did not disappoint. The lobby was very impressive, as was our enormous room which overlooked the pool area. The air conditioning worked well in communal areas and in the bedroom, which we were grateful for! The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy. Location in district 1 is perfect and all the staff were lovely. We enjoyed a happy hour cocktail in the rooftop bar which has great views over the Saigon River. Highly recommended as a special treat when visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

The hotel and rooftop bar/restaurant are quite expensive by Vietnam standards, but still much less than we would pay in London.

It is a beautiful historic hotel overlooking the river, about 10 minutes walk from the central post office and opera house. Despite being in the middle of Saigon chaos, the hotel is calm and relaxing. The bar on the 8th floor has great cocktails and a spectacular view. Breakfast has a wide variety of Vietnamese and western options and is served on the 5th floor with views of the river. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. We were upgraded to a suite which was a treat. The decor is more ‘grand traditional’ rather than ‘swish and modern’ which suited us. Finally the staff were quietly efficient, everything cleaned and sorted before you have to ask.

Nothing.

The hotel is located right at city center and itself is one of the city's landmark. There are many nice resturant, bar, and convient shop around. The hotel is old but well maintained, with fancy old french style architecture and decoration. We stayed in the room with beclondy, the room is spacious and comfortable. The belcony offers a good view to the river and we were lucky to watch the reunification day events just from our room. It was amazing. Breakfast is quite nice with a lot of varities. Beef Pho cooked better than a lot of resturants elsewere.

All that I can think of are some sort of nik pick at this moment. I would have to say, the hotel is not as "high tech" as compares to many new hotels, but it has it's charm. But if high tec is your thing, this hotel might lack some.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with every kind of food you could ask for. The room was stunning, very large and although not a great view, it was quiet and away from the road meaning we had a very good sleep. The room was spotlessly clean and the mini bar well stocked (although needing to pay for items used, it was very good to have it there after a late flight). The hotel is right on the river meaning very easy access to boats and the Bitecxo tower, wonderful shops, restaurants and markets were all within walking distance.

Nothing

The hotel's architecture pleased us very much. We love the colonial style. They upgraded the room, and we stayed in a spacious and very comfortable suite. Buffet Breakfast good, but a poor dessert. Room clean and the bed and the pillow very comfort. Location excellent!

When we checked in, we were not informed about the spaces that the hotel had. It was only on the last day that we realized there was an elevator that took us to a rooftop. Communication was not easy, as the staff speak little English and are not particularly friendly. The pool is shaded for most of the day. It feels as we are in a hole. It has no view, and it is not pleasant. Massage is very expensive. Do it outside hotel.

Location !!! Right on the river. I always wanted to stay here because of its history. Beautiful 100year old hotel. Rooms not large but magnificent . Lovely central pool.

Room had a fair bit of road noise. I have stayed on the river before and have never had to listen to the noise when door is closed. An old motel so I duppose it is to be expected.

Balcony was novel if pretty useless. Breakfast was a very good spread. Pool is very nice and a good depth

I was given a free upgrade, given being the operative word, I had booked a courtyard room and was given a river view, I have no idea if this was better but I am sure it was a lot noisier. The shower was pretty useless in the room I had, if it was placed on the wall it ended up flooding out the bathroom or soaking the towel rail. Electrics are a bit dated with a very odd central lighting control. even though I switched of the Air con for all my stay could still not get room warm enough to be comfortable
