the pool on the roof had a great view of the river and the city, the rooms were nice, the bathroom too. The service was incredibly nice, the reception works 24 hours and there was permanent on site security, which was also very nice and helpful. Breakfast was included in the price.

for the price the room cost, it would have deserved a full rating in general, it was a great hotel for a great price and also in a great location, only compared to other hotels in Saigon and in general in Vietnam, the facilities are slightly outdated but of course at a completely different price than offers Huong sen. If you are not traveling for luxury and are looking for a pleasant hotel in the city center with a pool and friendly service, this is definitely the right choice!

First of all, the photos you see on booking are accurate and have not been photoshopped. We appreciated this after many experiences recently where photos have been altered. The room was very comfortable. Huge beds. It was super clean and everything was provided including tea and coffee, towels etc. Cleaning staff were excellent. Staff at reception also super helpful and friendly. The location was great as it was in a relatively quiet street in HCMC, near the river area. We had no noise at night, yet we were still close to all the main attractions. Walking distance from the opera house, cathedral and independence palace and a short grab ride away from others. This was exactly what I was looking for as traffic/noise can be bad in this city. This place was just perfect if you want to wake up refreshed -will be back!

Nothing -it really exceeded expectations.

18-21 April 2025: Huong Sen Annex hotel is a bit older but it has great things going for it: 1) great location 2) quiet 3) clean rooms 4) comfy bed with good linen 5) everything working like tv and ac 6) really efficient, helpful and polite staff 7) small pool on roof to cool off, also a small gym there too if you need a little work out. Last day I had an early check out to the airport, they insisted they pack me a breakfast which was all neat and in a bag with water etc (fruits, bread, pastry, butter, jam, egg , sausage / pate meat etc ... what a lovely gesture - thank you!

for the price, it was all good!

The location is unbeatable - within a walking distance to the main sights of interest. A lot of restaurants and cafes nearby. The pedestrian street Nguyen Hue and the Saigon river are a few meters away, There is a nice swimming pool on the top floor, The room is large, comfortable and clean. The breakfast has a lot of options according to every taste. The staff is professional, helpful and friendly. The hotel is an excellent choice.

I have no negative remarks. I would recommend Huong Sen Annex Hotel to everyone travelling to Ho Chi Minh.

Location excellent - close to main attractions, restaurants & cafes Room - clean, large & roomy, HUGE comfortable bed with lovely linen TV - variety of English speaking channels (incl Aussie ABC) Bathroom - roomy, shower over bath Breakfast - good variety of food, great coffee machine Pool - small but great to cool off Staff - literally everyone was friendly, helpful & kind

Not meant as a criticism but shower being over the bath may be a bit difficult for older or overweight people to get in & out.

The facilities were as described. The pool is a great addition when needing to cool off. The bed was gigantic with the comfiest pillows ever encountered. We slept very well here. Basic toiletries are provided. Breakfast was good with a lot of choice. The staff were very polite. There is a water fountain in the reception foyer to refill water bottles. There was zero noise from outside. A very fair price for this hotel in this location. We would definitely stay again if in HCMC

Nothing

The hotel is well situated by a busy city area where there are lots of restaurants and bars. It is close to sites of tourist interest and there is a buzz in the vicinity. The room and bathroom were fine. Breakfast is served on a high floor in a rather small area that could become full in busy times. There was a variety of choices at breakfast - we enjoyed the prepared omlets. The swimming pool has views towards the river. There are about half a dozen loungers by the pool so not a spacious area. We appreciated the central location of this hotel.

Great location, great value for money. They have filtered water fountain at reception so you can just refill your water bottle. Room is spacious and comfortable. The pool is small but deep and such a lovely respite from a day walking around! I also used the small improvised ‘exercise area’ (I would not call it a gym). But hey they have 3, 5 & 8kgs pair of dumbbells and it was perfect for a 35min full body workout! Breakfast is really good for such a budget hotel. I really enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Excellent value for money. Staff were brilliant.

Avoid room 303, it seems to have cigarette smoke being vented into it from elsewhere in the building.

Fantastic location, this hotel provided everything we needed. Staff friendly and obliging. Room clean and well presented. Lots of restaurants and cafes close by and easily accessable to most places of interest.

Only complaint was shower over the bath, not walk in, necessitating climbing into the bath. A non slip mat provided but still precarious of senior travelers.
