Hey Raspen, i'm still a relatively new punter in the hcm ktv scene, but I can give you a few recommendations with my humble experience from my recent trip.
1) Point Ktv @ Le Thi Hong Gam, Dist 1 - Ktv catered to Koreans. From street view, the exterior is very unassuming, you'd never guess its a Ktv. No reception desk either, straight through the small lobby to the lifts. Out of the lift, you will be greeted by a wall and two rooms at each end of the corridor.
Room is pretty decent, comes with a washroom. The song system is pretty dated though, you gotta flip through a huge (or was it 2) file to look for the ID of a song, then input that ID no into the system to select said song.
Now on to the main point, the booze and the chicks. This place only serves korean liquour and beer. We ordered a bottle of 450ml korean whisky (can't remember the name) for 3.4m, my friend knew the mummy so we had a dozen bottles of beer on the house. Chicks-wise, 500k for tips, 2m for ST and 3m for LT. Please remember 500k tips are included into the ST and LT rate should you bring the chick back. Selection-wise is pretty decent, all are local chicks, some can speak a little english and chinese, I'll rate 6-7/10 for most with a couple of 8s.
Final Verdict - Can give this place a miss, drinks are expensive and girl selection imo is better elsewhere. 1 thing to note was this ktv did not provide or have dice, maybe Koreans don't play dice or something,
2) Fortune Hotel Ktv @ Dist 5 Chinatown - This ktv is catered to Taiwanese, though I'm guessing Chinese from everywhere frequent this place too. Room feels more posh than Point Ktv, comes with a washroom as well. You just gotta get yourself to Fortune Hotel and the bellhop will direct you from there.
Price-wise I can't really advise as my friend settled the bill, but I vaguely remember it was about 6m+ for 3 bottles of Chivas 12. They had a 2+1 promotion when we were there. For the girls, do note they have a separate charge here above the 500k tips for the chick. The ktv actually charges 140k/hr for the chick to accompany you. ST and LT are the same as Point, 2m and 3m respectively. Chicks-wise, wow this place is good, alot of 7-8/10 and even some 9/10. Being a joint catered to Chinese, most can speak fairly decent mandarin. My friend brought back a 9/10 hottie with an angel's face and a devil's body
Final Verdict - Place is expensive but worth going due to the insane number of hot chicks here. Word of advise, go earlier to avoid disappointment.
3) Catwalk @ 76 Le Lai Street, Dist 1 - This place is very easy to find, its just beside the New World Hotel Casino (the casino sucks by the way, don't waste your time there). Being an international tourist club, I guess all sorts of Nationalities frequent this place. They have an open area where you can see some performances or the likes, and rooms up at the second level. No washroom in the room so you gotta go down stairs and past the lounge area to relieve yourself.
Was there with a fellow samster (thanks for bringing me there), room was pretty decent I guess. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with the chicks selection, maybe we went too late or something. Most of the chicks speak decent english and mandarin. Final bill came up to 4.5m with only 1 bottle of Chivas 12, probably alot of ++ (mixers, fruits, mummy and waiter tips etc).
Final Verdict - Still worth a shot, next trip I'll try to go earlier and see if I can get a better babe. Didn't enquire about the ST/LT rates but I'd assume its the same as the rest.
Tips - Go earlier, have an early dinner and grab some Tiger/Sapporo/Saigon beer to warm up, best to reach by 8pm. If you have a budget, tell the mummy beforehand. Also if you intend to bring the chick back, you can try to nego with her to find you after work (bypass mummy, I have never tried this before but my friend has). Hope this helps.
