Victory Hotel

As tourists from different country, we just landed in Ho Chi Minh city (new place) and getting into this hotel was too good being a 4 star hotel with nice facilities. Locality was too good as we went for evening walking tour and palace is just few minutes away and visited many other places just by walk. Atmosphere inside and outside hotel was too good with great ambience. Rooms were given around post 1 PM their time, but we were allowed to use the ground floor lobby which was really good to keep our luggage. We were able to relax for a while and even have our home made food in lobby. Then we settled down in rooms (bit small in size) but very neat and tidy. The buffet complementary breakfast provided on next day I just loved the food being Vietnamese, I could see many steamed and healthy food options with variety of food options to taste and enjoy which started our Vietnam trip on a high note for that day to tour the city. Great service indeed because we had a early morning flight around 5 am to check out but they packed morning breakfast for all of us. So, I rate this hotel really high because of the locality, ambience, great service, atmosphere even though rooms were bit small.

PROS: Great breakfast. CONS: Poor wifi and swimming pool is not free. LOCATION: Very close to the war remnants museum. REVIEW:  Stayed in Sep-2024 for 1 night in deluxe twin room with breakfast. Previously stayed in Oct-2023 for 2 nights. The deluxe twin had 3 beds.  Room had mahogany type trimming (door, table, bed and headrests), the floor was carpet. Large room but had that old type feeling.  Great huge breakfast, on ground floor, with fuits and cooked meals, various soups at soup station, egg station and banh mi making area.  Luggage was looked after at reception whilst we went sight-seeing after checking-out. NEGATIVES:  Very very poor wifi especially at night frequently dropping the connection (reasonable at 7am in the morning).  Pool on 6th floor, however you need to pay for a ticket to swim or even sit on the poolside-deck-chairs

While we were very happy with the hotel cleanliness, staff and food we were very disappointed with extra nightly charges that we did not know were incurred. I signed a note that was in Vietnamese so I thought it was for our nightly hotel stays. We sent an email on the hotels website inquiring about these fees. A reply was not sent to us which is very disappointing.
