5 Star, I don't think so

Well I am pleased I only paid $90.00 (half price) or I would be even more dissapointed. At 8am The staff started using a drill and rotor hammer outside my room, asked them to stop and 2 hours later still working out in the hall. Offered me 30,000d ($1.50us) voucher for cab ride. Gave us wrong room to start (smoking 2 twin beds ) Mold in bathtub shower. Like I said not 5 star hotel

A piece of America in Vietnam

This hotel is actually quite far from the city center, which can be a good thing because you are surrounded by the 'real' city, not the tourist-centric area. However, this also makes for quite a journey if you want to go to tourist attractions (the hotel will get a taxi for you). This hotel goes far out of its way to make you feel like you are not in Vietnam at all. Everything is in English (with huge markups on food and drinks, priced in USD only). The best thing to do is to leave the hotel and look for the numerous local businesses nearby. I found it disappointing that the hotel tries to make you forget you are in Vietnam altogether.

We had a pleasant stay at Hotel

We had a pleasant stay at Hotel Equatorial Ho Chi Minh. The room was cozy and comfortable. Amenities were complete. Though the hotel was relatively far from District 1, the free shuttle service was a big help to us. Loved the food and service at their seafood restaurant, Orientica though it was quite expensive.

Tres bien mais équipements un peu cheap, l'internet à 16$ par jour, je trouve cela exagéré. Beaucoup de travaux aux alentours, nous n'avons pas eu le chance d'avoir un chambre sur la piscine donc sejour tres bruyant !

初めてのベトナム旅行でした。毎回のタクシーとの値段交渉、モー

初めてのベトナム旅行でした。毎回のタクシーとの値段交渉、モーターバイクのすごさ、騒音 排気ガス等 毎日疲れ果ててホテルに帰りましたが、ホテルスタッフの皆様の笑顔と親切に救われました。部屋は本当にきれいにルームメイクされ、夕方には、カーテンヲ閉めに来てくれるサービスの細やかさにほっとする毎日でした。又再びホーチミンを訪ねて見たいと思います。そのときは必ずHotel Equatorial を利用させて頂きたいと思います。最後にツアーデスクの新人のお嬢さん、少し疲れていたので、クレームを強い言葉で言ってしまいました。ごめんなさいネ。あなたの優しい笑顔は私たち夫婦は忘れません。もう一度会いましょう。今度のツアーには、ランチがついているかどうか、お互いに確認しましょう。思い出しましたか?私たちのこと。 See you again
