Whenever I come to Saigon, I tried to stay in a new hotel whenever possible. So here's a list of gal-friendly hotels(excluding A&Em hotels) which I've stayed before:
1) Ellyse Nga Khach Hotel (
www.ellysengakhanhhotel.com.vn)
This hotel used to be called Ha My 2 hotel.
Hotel staffs are very friendly and deluxe room has a huge window with a great view of Bitexco Financial Tower. Breakfast is poor though.
2) Ho Sen 2 Hotel (
www.hosenhotel2.com.vn)
This hotel used to be called Mai Hotel.
Deluxe room have a huge window which you can see Saigon River, Sheraton Hotel, Caravelle Hotel, etc. Breakfast is average. But it seems to have a problem with hot water when you take a shower.
3) La Jolie Hotel (
www.lajoliehotel.com.vn)
Great hotel with professional and friendly staffs. Room cleanliness and comfort is excellent. Deluxe room has a nice window view of Saigon River.
Great for couple seeking a bit of romance and quiet surrounding.
4) Ruby River Hotel (
www.rubyriverhotel.com.vn)
Great hotel with professional and friendly staffs. The bell-boy recognized me from my previous stay and always bring me a glass of orange juice whenever I'm at the lobby waiting for my friend or using the internet. Room cleanliness and comfort is excellent. Breakfast is poor though. But a shop selling hu tieu and banh-mi is just next to the hotel. Highland Coffee is a mere 5 minutes walk away.
5) Signature Saigon Hotel (
www.signaturesaigonhotel.com)
This hotel is next to Ruby River Hotel and is formerly known as Ha Hien 2 Hotel. Sound insulation is poor as I could hear other hotel guest taking a shower in the next room. I'm always woken up by the cleaning ladies chatting along the doorway in the morning. Hotel staffs are not so honest as they tried to give me a superior room eventhough I booked a deluxe room.
6) Silverland Hotel and Spa (
www.tanhailonghotel.com.vn)
Great hotel with professional and friendly staffs. Room cleanliness and comfort is excellent. Breakfast is the best so far with excellent hu tieu and egg station. However, they combined 2 smaller beds to form a large bed. So whenever I hold my gal to sleep at night, I tend to sink into the gap in-between the 2 smaller beds. End up both of us just cuddle together on 1 of the smaller bed.
7) Tan Hai Long 3 Hotel (
www.tanhailonghotel.com.vn)
This hotel is just next to Bitexco Financial Tower. However, I tend to take a quick breakfast there due to mosquitoes in the dining area. Hotel staffs can be dis-honest.
8) Sunflower Central Hotel
Great hotel with professional and friendly staffs. Room cleanliness and comfort is excellent. Breakfast is so-so only.
The price range for the hotels mentioned above will be SGD $50 to $75.
They are all located in District 1.
