Saigon Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very polite, respectful, and professional staff. The room is spacious and clean with modern decor. The shower doesn’t drain well, so sometimes it floods up to your ankle. When you turn off the shower, it usually drains in about five minutes. The window isn't airtight so that you will get street noise, and there’s a club next door with music on sometimes until 11 PM. Overall, we love this hotel and highly recommend it for its location, location, location; spacious, clean room with modern decor; professional staff; and reasonable rates. This is it."
