Hoang Hai Long Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City

Have stayed at Hoang Hai Long several times. The lower priced rooms are OK, but the was upgraded to the Executive room recently, which was really nice. The service is terrific, the staff really works to make your stay go smoothly. The location is unbeatable, as is the price.

We did a 2 week tour of vietnam staying in many hotels all in same price range this by far was the best! Very Clean, staff could not have been nicer and very helpful, and the breakfast buffet was wonderful! you are in walking distance to everything downtown and there is an excerise park near by. We even checked out of the tour hotel at the end of our […] tour and came back to this hotel for 2 more nights. Read more

Room too small, the hotel service did not serve well With the same amount of money, I could stay in better hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

At first we were put in a small cramped room with no window. A quick call to the desk changed that to a much more spacious and comfortable room. We had to stay in HCMC longer that we thought and they accomodated us with an extra night and bumped us up to a suite at no extra charge. The breakfast here was suprisingly good, much better than I expected. […] At least there were eggs, fried potatoes and fresh fruit. The fruit in VN is wonderful, so ripe, better than I can get in the super markets back home in Hawaii. The hotel staff was super helpful, and always took care of any issues immediately and at their expense of time or effort. Most gracious. I am going back in a few weeks and this is where I am staying again. Ben Thran Market is only about 3 blocks away and everything is easy to get to. This is a small 3 star hotel that behaves like a 4 star. My fiance who lives in HCMC would not allow me to go walking outside by myself so I didn't see as much of the city as I wanted but next time I will go on tours and that should satisfy the protective Papa Bear. LOL. Read more

One good thing about the hotel is its location, so you can easily walk to the Ben Thanh Market. However, it does have few issues. What they call an "Executive Room" is just a standard room at other hotels. One window had a crack (about 30 cm long) and another window (that opens) is not well sealed, so you hear the traffic on the street. In terms of […] cleanliness, its generally well maintained but I did find few strands of hair in the soap dish upon arrival. Our room rate included breakfast. However, even though we arrived 30 minutes before closing, there was barely any food left. The selection was good, offering both Asian and Western but it doesn't really matter much because you don't get to eat them anyway. There was nothing much food left to taste and they are not replenished. Also, even though there were several staffs standing around, used dishes were not picked up. Overall, this is one of many many similar styled hotels in the city and doesn't have anything good or special about it that warrants a second stay. Read more

We reserved the Hoang Hai Long hotel on Pham Hong Thai street (not the one on Nguyen An Ninh street) thru Hotels.com and prepaid everything 2 months before our trip, which is less expensive than paying at the hotel. We stayed for 3 weeks during Christmas'2011 and New Year'2012. The location is excellent, it has a plaza in front of the hotel which makes […] getting a taxi or motorbike very easy. The location is 5 minutes walk to Ben Thanh market so very convenient. The breakfast buffet has a variety to choose from, and we always ate breakfast there. The reception desk can exchange money so we don't have to go anywhere else. The tourdesk is on-site and the tourbus picks up at the hotel (thanks chi Lan). The in-room safe is very secured, I left my cash in there no problem. The room is cleaned up daily, fresh towels, mini-bar has variety of drinks, TV is kind of small but no big deal. A/C works great make sleeping very comfortable. The bellmen are very helpful, always asking if they can help. We are very happy with our stay at the hotel. We recommend it because it's much cheaper than the New World across the street (maybe 3 times more), got excellent service, and we would definitely stay at this one again. My son said he wants to go again next yar and he wants to stay at this hotel again. Read more

This hotel is fantastic for the price, their service is great and is located close to Ben Than market, and 20mts walk to the historic post office, city hall and cathedral. There are a lot of places to eat near by, exit the hotel and walk towards Ben Than market for restaurants. The breakfast buffet is pretty decent. The hotel staff is very polite and […] accommodated our request for room change from 10th floor to 2nd floor so that we can use the stairs instead of the elevator. I will definitely return to this hotel on my next visit to Saigon. Read more

Booked this place because it had good reviews, but couldn't wait to check out of this place. Problems from the outset when we walked into our room and it smelled like a public bathroom in desperate need of cleaning/airing out. It was so overwhelming that after 30 min of checking-in, we complained to the front desk. They sent up 'housekeeping,' which […] was a man in flip flops carrying a can of air freshener to 'fix' our problem. Our bedside lamp shade was ripped in several places and the flimsy headboard actually had a 4-inch piece of wood paneling that had pealed off. Seriously?! Breakfast was sizeable, but there's not much you'd want to eat. We switched rooms the next day and got one on the other side of the building; the smell was much improved, but the shower was weird: the curtain rod rose at each end, so that the shower curtain just slid down on either side. Result is that you couldn't close the shower curtain while showering, thus affording you a view of your toilet and sink, and getting the floor soaked. Bad way to start an 11-day trip, so I would avoid this place--there are far too many equally affordable and convenient options in Saigon/HCMC to give this place your time and money. Read more

We stayed here for two nights when we arrived in Ho Chi Minh city. This hotel is situated near the Ben Thanh Market, 20 minutes walk from the Opera house, Cathedral and Post office (4 main land marks of Saigon), it is a short taxi ride away from other land marks. The service is great, and the staff took good care of us. They will store your luggage […] if you are taking other sightseeing trips and returning to this hotel later, we went on a 15day trip to other cities in Vietnam, so we left one luggage with them. The breakfast buffet repeats but food is of good quality. We got a room with no windows, we liked that better because it blocks all the noise from the street and we got good nights sleep. One issue you will face any hotel in Vietnam is smoking, indoor smoking is permitted, although we had a non-smoking room, we woke up to cigarette smell in the morning from guests smoking in the corridors.

The hotel is conveniently located. The breakfast was good and the hotel was very clean. The only problem I faced was very poor internet service for the first three days of my stay and the last three days it got slightly better. I used other hotel lobbies' Internets to carry out my work in order to meet my deadlines. Overall it is a very conveniently […] located and clean 3 star hotel. My room did have a window and was not facing the street. Read more

The breakfast buffet was great. Many western and Asian dishes to choose from. The staff very helpful. Rooms very clean. We had standard room was a bit small with no window (so we had no street noise) great a/c for climate comfort but if you need larger room get delux room. I would gladly stay again for the value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was not a 3* by any stretch of the imagination. The rooms were TINY, dark and smelled musty because of no ventilation; the furnishings beaten up, torn and dirty; no window at all in the room; not much English TV selection; walls were so thin, you could hear conversations in the next room; though breakfast was supposed to be included & served […] from 6 - 9.30 am, they made one batch of food and when it ran out, it wasn’t replenished. Out of a seven day stay, I had hot water ONE morning. I complained repeatedly and was told that they would ask “to keep it turned on longer” because “now it is shut off the previous night” and the water that was already heated was supposed to suffice for the next morning! I had it for one morning then and that was it. There were very tiny bugs – sort of miniature fleas around everywhere – including the rooms. Smoking was not supposed to be allowed in certain areas of the restaurant but it was. There were at least 20 stairs to get to the main entrance of the hotel and if the bell hop was not around (often), you had to carry your baggage up & down those steps yourself. I would not go back.

Decent Hotel, close to many attractions in the Old Quarter. Like most hotels in the area, street noise is a bit loud, but that's Hanoi and scooters for you...

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very clean. The neighborhood in which the hotel is located is quiet, clean and safe area (for it is located right across from a 5 star hotel). If you walk a few blocks you will be in the busy city center as well. The breakfast buffet is the BEST I have ever experienced. The selection is not only wide but also of high quality (fresh fruits, […] Pho Noodles, pastries, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Cereal, fried rice, Vietnamese coffee and so much more). The staff is also very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this affordable, comfortable and convenient hotel to anyone...even my mom. Read more

I prepaid the reservation with hotels.com so I'm expecting that the room is paid in advance and we could be guaranteed of a deluxe room with 2 beds inside. We arrived late dawn and the room was unavailable. So we got an upgrade. So we were obliged to pay more. But it was ok because when i saw the deluxe room it's too small. I was with my family of 6 […] and we need bigger rooms. The suite is with a jacuzzi that my grandchildren love. Because the hotel does not have a pool. The breakfast buffet was terrific. The service is good and the people at the buffet was so generous and even offered to bring food in our room. Location wise it's CONVENIENT, it is just two blocks away from ben than market. and shopping there is very reasonable. we spent the entire day shopping and going back and forth to the hotel for it is super close to the market. Spa Services is quite ok. But when i gave the girl a tip she seems unhappy about it and she frowned at me. and it's already $10USD! Oh well.. to top it all as long as my family enjoy the trip Im happy! I recommend this hotel for the value and the location. Read more

We were given a room near the storage area and gym on the top floor. The air conditioner never worked very well which was a problem in the hot humid weather. The breakfast buffet was great. Location was good. Room needed some renovation.

This is a reasonable sized Hotel close to the center of the city. About a 20 minute walk. 5 minutes to the main market and other attractions. Good Breakfast, clean and tidy rooms at not a big expense. Will recommend to others and I am happy to stay here again.

This hotel was very clean and the room was comfortable. Free internet in the room, which I did not expect in Vietnam. Quite a value for the money. We had a suite, so had plenty of room. But, it was smaller than suites in more "upscale" hotels so perhaps the same is true for "regular" rooms - ? The gym is just "so-so" but as we were in Vietnam for a […] bicycle tour, that wasn't really important to us. The restaurant is 24 hours, reasonably priced, and makes a great pho. There is a wonderful massage & nail salon located within the hotel - great staff, reasonable rates, and clean & professional. No one there spoke much English, but we were able to get what we needed.

Stayed at Hoang Hai Long for eight nights in January. The hotel is kept quite clean. Room is very large at a reasonable price with all amenities.

This was a good hotel overall. The location is nice, very close to the Reunification Palace (a must with a great garden where they serve delicious Pho). However, it is a VERY busy street. Loads of scooters buzzing by and serious traffic all the time. (Standard for Ho Chi Minh city I guess). Also, I was a tad disapointed by the lack of very good restaurant […] nearby. Maybe I did not look properly. There is a very good bakery a few meters down the road. The staff's service was just ok, not really friendly but still helpfull. If you want to get away from the tourists, this hotel is a good choice because it's not in the backpacker district. I would stay there again. Read more

Excellent location and value for money for a 3 Star hotel. It's within walking distances to most of all the city's "must see" locations eg the Ben Tahn Market, War Memorial Museum, the Cathedral, water puppet theater.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and after reading the reviews before going, and we were pleasantly suprised. The Hotel was clean bright and in a central location.

Their tour booking guy was extremely helpful booing us a couple of good keenly priced tours, as […] well as giving a couple of excellent recomendations for placed to go for evening meals. There was a really good spread for breakfast, which was mostly Vietnamese and Chinese food. However tthere was hot tea and coffee, toast, marmalade, ham and even hot fried eggs to be found, but they are spread out a bit between the noodles. The only down points I found: was the rooms were just a little smaller than expected and the shower, which was spotlessly clean lacked real hot water. Would I go and stay there again - Yes!

This is one of the best 3 star hotel i have stayed. Hotel staff was very friendly and always look after yourself. Only downside is the morning breakfast.

The room we booked was not good enough for us so we requested for an upgrade and they offered us a bigger room with good value. However the bed makes weird noise and it was not good for my toddler's nap. Breakfast was good but sometimes they ran out of few items even in the early morning. They should have more vegetarian options. Staffs were friendly […] and most of them speak English. However reception staffs seemed unprofessional in pressure handling (this is the case when 2/3 persons at the reception needs something). They should have enough knowledge about the nearby tourist spots. We asked about the opening hours of Reunification Palace and got reply "don't know"!! Neighborhood is good and very close from tourist attractions. One can always walk from the hotel to District 1 and can enjoy local life. Read more
