Villa Song Saigon

Great staff, large quality room, on the river so excellent views. The food was excellent too.

The river taxi is not currently running as they await a permit from the government.

Very nice people, beautiful hotel. They were renovating when we were there, but the service and food and room were still perfect.

The property is nice. It feels like a big guest house which was warm and cozy. The rooms have nice style. And the staff made the experience unique. They were so invested in our trip and making sure we had things to do and good places to go. They offer a hotel boat to bring you from the hotel to the financial center which is closer to stuff to do. The hotel is located in District 2 which is a quieter area mostly higher end residences. The salt water pool is beautiful and clean and large. We used it daily to relax during downtown. And the food at the hotel is really good. Better than most food we’ve had elsewhere in Vietnam. Breakfast was from a menu which is different from the buffets we’ve had most other spots.

Nothing really. Maybe it’s a bit far from the touristic stuff to do but it’s a few dollar taxi ride and it’s so peaceful to get away from the chaos.

Superb riverside location, beautifully designed interiors, fantastic dining and extremely friendly,knowledgeable & professional staff. Set in an interesting neighbourhood with great bars & restaurants

All is perfect

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very accommodating and made our stay very special. The building is beautiful and the rooms very comfortable. The transfer to downtown by boat was the best.

Liked the staff and river view.

No boat, there was a very loud office party during stay, very quiet.

Amazing view of river from the room and the confortable beds and room.

We were on the 3rd floor with great views, yet no elevator, and my friend had lots of luggage. So travel light.

Excellent location. Staff could not have been more helpful. All the food was of excellent quality and well served.Swimming pool was well maintained.

Air conditioning in bedroom was a little noisy.

Staff are really lovely and very helpful. Beautiful Old house.Bedrooms very comfortable, bathrooms very clean. Inside Hotel clean generally apart from upholstery.The location is great and the speedboat in to the city works well. The Air Con was greatLovely swimming pool. 20 metres or so.Great location to walk down the road 15 mins to spa's, a large array of fantastic restaurants, ATM'S, Supermarkets. Cat Cafe too!The Laundry Service was excellent.

The Hotel is very well photographed - It is VERY tired and in need of investment. We almost left and went somewhere else.The reception desk looks like an office and could do with smartening up.Most of the upholstered chairs and sofas in our rooms were stained and furniture was chipped and bashed - and burnt from straightening tongs. Our bedding was ripped, clean and unstained, but old.ALL the fabric sunbeds by the pool were very dirty and stained, some sagged as were broken. The parasols were very dirty. The chairs and tables by the pool are rusty and old and the buckets and hose etc need tidying away by the pool. The pool shower barely worked. Pool towels stained with bleach etc.We had a chest of drawers outside our room where everyone's used room service trays were left on. It's not the hotels fault but there is presently in Jan 2025 a construction site next door which is noisy everyday very early from 7ish (they don't stop on the weekend). We weren't informed of that when booking.They hosted 2 Weddings, 2 of the nights of our 4 night stay which are disruptive and the level of service for Hotel guests drops. We were told about those on the day!This hotel has a huge amount of unrealised potential. I would love to smarten it up, it wouldn't take much!

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast was chosen from a large menu choice. Staff were very helpful. We were moved to a suite and the view over the river was lovely. The free speed boat transfer to the centre was fun.

Building site next door started early and continued till late. When we first arrived we were put in a room overlooking the building works but we asked to be moved and the staff did this straight away. It wasn’t an issue for us but be careful which room you book if the building is still happening

Excellent restaurant - great menu, v good chef. Lovely friendly helpful people. Great riverside ambiance. Characterful property with a feeling of ‘old Saigon’ about it.

It is a bit too far out of the way of the main tourist centre in Saigon. There is no passenger lift and so it is completely unsuitable for travellers with mobility issues or lots of heavy cases!

We had a tranquil and enjoyable stay, a short boat trip away from the centre. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant delicious.Very enjoyable experience, I would repeat.

The location on the river, the beautiful calm and spacious room and the wonderful swimming pool.

Friendly and lots of character

We chose to stay out of town at Villa Song on the river because of the expected ease of travel into the centre by the hotel speed boat which is offered as a facility when booking. We were disappointed to find it was not working doing our stay. Otherwise we liked the hotel a lot.

Pros- Staff were friendly and helpful when asked anything - building looked historic and nice - rooms were comfortable

Cons - free boat shuttle wasn't operating for the whole stay (the easy access to the city was the reason we booked here. Ended up having to pay taxis to and from the city each day)- pool area was a thoroughfare for staff and people coming to the hotel for meetings. Wasn't relaxing at all. Pool lounges/cabanas were a bit weathered. Lots of mosquitos - calls to room service were unanswered sometimes. Had to walk down 2 floors to order room service - no english speaking channels on the tv. Even though the channel list provided listed plenty of english speaking channels

Location was great especially away from the hustle and bustle of HCMC downtown. Very friendly helpful staff. Nice salt water swimming pool exceptionally clean - great for doing lengths. Lovely having breakfast alongside the river. Food well presented and tasty.

Not much.

Food very good, staff excellent, facilities very good

View of rhe rubbish in river

Great location, amazing pool. Staff is very attentive. Best thing is a daily transfer with their boat to the centre of town.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful facilities and staff were very attentive. The food was exceptional. Everything we ate was delicious and not bother if you wanted room service. Staff were helpful and friendly and happy to organise anything for you. The boat was a major plus to get into the city with ease and for a lovely addition to the day!

Beds were not as comfortable as expected for a high quality hotel. Also the mosquitos were always in the bedroom and we got bitten a lot. This has not happened in any other hotels on our Vietnam tour. Otherwise everything was perfect.

The photos of Villa Song do not do it any justice. It is a beautifully unique hotel with lovely grounds, spacious and well furnished rooms....and the pool area was a perfect place to rest from the heat.It was lovely sitting near the river for both breakfast and dinner. The staff were so helpful and always had a smile on their faces. (Vicky was so sweet and always happy to help with anything we requested)The shuttle boat to the city was a fabulous service....an added bonus to a wonderful hotel. We would definitely return to Villa Song.
