二度目の利用、まずまず。

仕事の訪問先に近く、二度目の利用。清潔感あり。スタッフの対応が良い。設備をあちこち更新している。近所に様々な店舗が多くて便利。泊まった部屋のシャワーヘッドが割れていて、shower ではなくwaterfallであったが、使えた。WIFIの接続や速度があまり良くなかったため、持ち込みWIFIで対応。ビジネスホテルとして総合的にはOK。

Worst hotel!

ダブルブッキングが発生し、他のホテルに紹介されたものの、 かなり格安のホテルで、そちらのホテル側も対応が非常に悪く、チェックインを拒否し、 このホテルに戻りました。既にチェックイン済み扱いなので、キャンセルはできないとの対応をとられる。 引き続き、交渉した結果、Hotels.comから予約を受けた金額を返金する（予約金額の７割）が、キャンセルは不可との回答を受ける。Hotels.comと直接交渉するので、キャンセルの証跡がほしいとの依頼も拒否される。 スタッフも権限もなく、マネージャーもいないので、何もできないという回答のみが延々と続く。 結局、自分でhotels.comに連絡を行い、何とかキャンセルができました。 その後、部屋の準備ができたので、キャンセルできないと言われました。この数十年で国内外で旅行に行きましたが、最もひどい対応でした。 また、同日に宿泊した友人も設備がよくないとのことでした。 ただし、ベトナムのホテルすべてが悪いわけではなく、他のホテルでは快適でしたので、ここだけがひどいと思われます。

居心地の良い部屋でした。

空港から乗り換えなしで来れるホテルです。152番のバスだと5000ドンで一本です。ホテルの目の前から空港まで行けます。今回朝食なしのプランにしましたが、すべての宿泊客に朝食は自動的についているようでした。滞在中普通にいただけました。他の方の口コミにもありましたが、ホテルの周りは繁華街ではあるものの、食べ物や飲み物の入手がなかなか難しいです。ホテルを出て左に行き、５０ｍ位の小道を入ると何軒も地元の屋台があり、そこでお弁当を買ってくると20000ドンくらいでした。

ちょっと郊外だが便利な立地

値段も安かったので期待しないようにしたが、それなりに快適でした。部屋は狭く設備も古かったですが不快感はありませんでした。快適な滞在を願う人には無理がありますが、安く手頃に滞在したい人にはよいホテルだと思います。ツアーの日本人がいっぱい泊まっていました。

good location, clean hotel

Nice and comfortable hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast wasnt anything exciting would reccomend finding a cafe. Also think twice before getting the full body massage i found the girl very rough, was not enjoyable. My upper back and sore for couple days afterwards. Great hotel though and easy to get around. About a 20 minute walk to bars and cafes.

This hotel is lame

This Hotel is lame. Ok the rooms are clean and look nice, so do the lobby and one could say the staff, but they hardly speak any English. The neighborhood is to cry about, right in by an intersection of to streets with massive trafic, so quite some noise, hard to get a decent meal around there. First thing I did at the room was looking for a way to get less trafic noise, I located the window in the bathroom as a source, but closing it was another story. The little window in the bathroom where btw the only one faceing out, the room had another faceing the corridor - and a very sharp lightball right outside - why? The safe in the room is a little box you can take under your arm and leave with, very safe yes.

Excited to stay there again

I'd most definitely stay at this hotel again. It isn't off the beaten track per se but it isn't in the heart of the tourist area either...that suits me fine. It is less than 2km from Ben Thanh market and not far from most other attractions. The reason I liked this hotel is that you can step out the front and just walk in any direction and be surrounded by Vietnamese city living. The fruit and fish market is literally around the corner of Nguyen Van Cu. The food vendors down the street are great and friendly. The best part, the prices are fair to the area. The vendors know they're not catering to tourists so they price things to local fares not the over priced rates in the tourist area. The hotel staff was extremely courteous and diligent to make my stay comfortable.The night manager was extremely helpful with information since my plane was delayed 2 hours and I got into Saigon at 1AM. He told me where I could locate some food and made sure that I had a card with the hotel name and location so that I could find my way back with a taxi. It isn't the nicest place in Saigon but for that you'd be paying significantly more. It was however a great comfortable room with a great staff. I'd have no reservations what so ever about staying there again. Close to Cho Lon, Cho An Dong and Cho Dan Sinh as well.

Une bonne adresse à Saigon

Accueil sympathique (parlent un peu anglais) dans cet hôtel impeccable. Très bon petit déjeuner buffet. Chambre vaste, bien équipée, très propre, idem pour la salle de bain avec baignoire. Les chambres donnant sur l'arrière sont calmes, la rue étant très passante. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Seul inconvénient si l'on est à pieds : 3/4 d'h du centre ville, sinon avec le bus n°1 aucun soucis. A égale distance de Cholon.

ホーチミン滞在

３泊しました。 中心地から離れているので、常にタクシー移動となりますが、朝食付きで安かったです。 難点は、お風呂がびしょびしょになること。 シャワー浴びるとどうしてももれてしまいます。 最終日、鍵が折れてびっくりしましたが、すぐ対応してくれました。ドライヤーも金庫もついてるのにこの値段、清潔さであればお得だと思います。 周りの環境も靜かで、よく眠れました。

遠い

部屋はきれいで空調・シャワー等も特に問題ありませんでした。フロント係の対応も東南アジアのこのレベルのホテルで考えると悪くないと思います。 ただ、中心街から遠いです。周辺には飲食店などもあまりないので、お勧めできるかといわれたら出来かねます。

A Very Happy Traveler

We stayed at the Universal Hotel for a little over two weeks. They were very helpful and the breakfast was wonderful ! The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk to the market, or a five minute taxi drive( about $2.00) We could have not asked for a better hotel. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a nice , clean and comfortable hotel reasonably priced. If we go back we will stay here again!!!

Saigon Hotel Universe Central

Bon hotel, bien situé à 1800m de Cho Ben Thanh. Arrêt bus devant hotel Le bus N°1 vous emmène à Ben Thanh, et le 152 vous emmène à l'aéroport (et inverse) pour 4000 VnD (3000 vnd par carnet de 30 voyages) c'est à dire 0,1 Eu. Le réseau des bus de Saigon est dense, mais il faut acheter la carte de ce réseau..mais pas à jour. Il faut parler un peu Viêt c'est mieux, ou bien écrire sur un papier (avec tous les accents) son lieu de destination, et montrer au receveur, il vous aide. Petit déjeuner convenable, mais surtout Asiatique (beaucoup de Koréens, Chinois, Japonais dans les clients) Personnel aimable et attentionné. accès internet gratuit. Chambre (les notres nous y avons séjournés plusieurs fois) fenêtre donnant sur le couloir, mais en face d'une baie extérieure. Climatisation bon fonctionnement. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

clean, but a little secluded

the room is clean and big, and their manager is very nice and accommodating. though it was very very hard to communicate with some of the receptionists because of their poor knowledge of the English language. it is in District 1, but not so close to the best spots to go to in the said District. there are not much to see around the vicinity, but it's just a 15-min drive to Ben Thanh Market, which is good.

Ok if you get upgraded

We booked on expedia and for a very low price we got an enormous room. it was nicely furnished for Vietnam. The staff were nice, but the bellboys werent always fast or careful. It was however far from the centre of town and this was a problem for us as we were keen to get a lot done which was hard so far from the centre. The bathroom had the best shower pressure we had while we were in vietnam.
