The hotel has a very unique design across the board and bedrooms in particular have been thoughtfully designed with a keen eye for detail and a careful use of space and interesting furniture. There is a jacuzzi in the balcony as well and a mini bar included in the price. The bed is extremely comfortable and huge. The rooms are kept very clean!!! I loved that they provide filtered water in glass bottles and you can get as many as you need. They do seem to be making an effort towards the environment. The location worked very well for me- convenient to walk to all the main sites in HCM city, and also be picked up for a tour. Many great places to eat just a few mins walk away. I managed to secure what was apparently a discounted price on booking.com and even then going by the general prices I was paying for accommodation in other parts of Vietnam was significantly cheaper. However, I don’t think it’s possible to compare as what this hotel offers is very different. The roof top bar is worth a visit too- cocktails are made without skimping on the alcohol. The staff are welcoming and helpful.

I didn’t have breakfast or any meals at the hotel so I cannot comment about the food.

Fantastic location in district 1 which made it easy to walk to attractions such as the river, opera house and post office. Our room was lovely with a view to the river and an outside bath on the balcony. Unique hotel design and amazing and varied breakfast. Complimentary afternoon tea and helpful staff made our stay very pleasurable. One day our the tour we had planned didn’t work as hoped (it wasn’t booked via the hotel) and the hotel quickly assisted me to book an alternative which was much appreciated. Food in the restaurant was of a high quality and very well presented.

While the pool was inviting, there weren’t many loungers around it due to limited space. One afternoon we were looking forward to a swim, only to find when we arrived at the pool that it was closed for a private function - there was no notice of this and surely paying hotel guests should get priority. The restaurant was also closed which disrupted our evening plans. Room service was a good alternative.

We loved our stay at this beautifully designed hotel, which mixes vintage charm with a modern feel. The rooms are stylish, very comfortable, and feature large beds and private balconies with jacuzzis (we didn’t use ours, but it’s a great option!). The location is fantastic — close to Dong Khoi Street, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and landmarks like the Opera House, Cathedral, and Post Office. It’s also just a short walk to the river for easy access to river cruises. We especially enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar, which was a great place to relax. Although we didn’t visit the spa, it’s another nice option to have. The daily afternoon tea with live Vietnamese music was a lovely extra touch. The staff were excellent, especially Duc from the concierge team, who helped organise Opera House tickets for us at the last minute. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City

Fantastic Stay – Great Location, Gorgeous Hotel

We decided on a little bit of luxury after 5 weeks in Viet Nam. The Myst offered rooms with balconies and a mixture of modern and traditional decor. The rooftop pool is a great place to relax during the heat of the day. High tea is a daily ritual not to be missed.

Leaving.

Location is great. Design of the hotel is cool. Staff is very friendly and generous. Great service!

Rooms - More exactly the fact there are no proper hangers for towels.. Especially for hand and face towels.. The hanger on the bathroom door is very poor and because of it our towels were always falling on the floor. The rooms are pretty smalll, if we wouldn't do an upgrade the view of the room would have been awful, more exactly you could see a big wall in front of you and nothing else. The noise in the room .. You could hear everything from outside.. Especially the traffic noise. Breakfast - Generally good breakfast but there was always a problem in communication. I want to hard boiled eggs - I was getting soft eggs I want two hot Vietnamese white coffee - I was getting iced coffee

The Myst Dong Khoi is the most beautiful place to stay. I have been here twice and I would come back time and time again. It’s been 7 years between stays and this hotel has not aged a minute. The Myst has the most beautiful staff who are friendly and accomodating. Their facilities are incredible and the food is unbelievable. We had a late flight after our check out and the staff offered for us to continue enjoying all the facilities, including the pool and the high tea, until we left for our flight later in the evening. A highlight of our trip, I would recommend this place to everyone.

Nothing - the Myst is perfect.

I loved the location of this hotel on Dong Khoi

On arriving at the hotel, I was rather disappointed with our Saigon Double room. The description of this room ( on Booking.com at least) was misleading. Small matter, but this type of room strictly speaking does not have a balcony as we know it, nor does it have a mini garden as it says on the description. What it has is an enclosed stone Spa bath with entry through a side door of the room. This spa bath is enclosed by iron grills open to the outdoors. It cannot be altered I know, but the configuration of this room is odd!

Great boutique hotel with a great location and decor. Very friendly staff for check in, with drinks and snacks on arrival. Awesome rooftop pool and bar (bit funky to get to, but hey that's boutique for you). Great range of food for buffet breakfast. Close to apartment cafes and great shopping areas. 10min walk to Saigon Mall. Free minibar (but only drinks and fruit, excluding alcohol.

Definitely on the older side, with some cracks in bathroom walls and balcony spa bath. They tried to say room deposit was 2million dong when my booking on here said 1million for deposit (didn't have 2million in cash due to this). They were hesitant but did 1million, just need booking clarity. I went to eat at the rooftop restaurant, they sat me down and then no one came to take my order they just ignored me for 10min so I left, such a shame.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Myst Dong Khoi in Ho Chi Minh City, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly its Indochina-inspired decor. From the moment you step into the lobby, you're transported to a different era, with a seamless blend of vintage traditional Vietnamese elements. The rich colors, intricate woodwork, and thoughtful design details truly set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The service was also exceptional, with one staff member in particular, Nhi, making a lasting impression. Nhi went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Whether offering restaurant recommendations or assisting with local directions, her warmth and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for. Overall, Myst Dong Khoi is a beautiful hotel with top-notch service and an ambiance that truly immerses you in the history and culture of the region. I’d highly recommend it, especially if you appreciate design with a story and excellent hospitality.

However, there was a slight hiccup upon arrival: the bidet in our room had a broken seat. It wasn’t a major issue, but it was a small inconvenience that we hadn’t expected. Thankfully, it didn’t take away from our overall experience.

Location is amazing, nice & creative boutique hotel that feels like a fresh breeze in the busy District 1 area. Great breakfast.

Avoid rooms on the 14th floor (incl. the suite which we had booked), because it is very loud even during weekdays (the rooftop bar and pool is on the 15th floor). There is constant noise incl. pool water swishing around, and tables and chairs being moved late into the night, plus constant noises from staff using the metal stairs outside. So better opt for a cheaper room category, the suites seem to be a waste of money because you won’t sleep well.
