Blue Diamond Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City

I like the hotel. Breakfast was good . Had some new dishes everyday. The hotel was convenient to all. Fleas market is only two blocks away . Good to by some souvenir t-shirts. Make sure you bargain, t-shirt average price is 90 dong. The foot massage was good. You can print your email at the business computer and pick it up at the receptionist desk. […] The only thing is that they could not scan my document but that is a lot to ask for. Overall, I like it and would stay here again. Read more

I have a wonderful experience with the receptionists and the staffs working in Blue Diamond Hotel. They are knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. If you are in doubt, just ask them. However, the hotel needs to improve areas like changing sheets more frequently and have better sheets and towels. I recognized that my sheet was not changed for a few days […] becase I found out the sheet was very unique and it has several holes on it. The towels are kind old. Overall I think the hotel is still a plesant place to stay. Read more

Hotel is good. Just 2 blocks from the Ben Theh Market. Room is clean , although it is a bit small. The twin beds is just put side by side. Breakfst is good, lots of variety of food. Service is good.

Found a great price and had a nice room with a view high up above the street. The complimentary breakfast had a nice selection. The service was good or excellent if you don't use a washcloth because after requesting a set twice it seems they do not know what that is even after showing them one that i had brought from the states.The location was within […] walking distance to many points of interest but after learning the hard way that the markets have gotten more expensive, my wife and I had decided to just solely go to Nha Trang in the future for the money as goods are half the price of Saigon with a much better view and a fraction of the traffic congestion. If you had to go to Saigon, I would recommend. Conclusion: 4/5 Read more

They have started a massage service on the first floor. Nice to have services in house.

Had a great 4 night stay in Ho Chih Minh and will definitely repeat the stay here .We were welcomed by great staff who were only too happy to be of help and it was great being in District 1 , only a walking distance fr great food and the main markets . We had our daily tours booked by the hotel which was so affordable and staff very efficient . We are […] both still talking aboutour wonderful stay in this hotel and maybe it helped that it was a newly opened one ( Nov 2010 ) ?? Read more

The hotel is in walking distance of the Ben Thanh Market, museums and lots of good restaurants. The hotel costs about $7 USD from the airport by taxi. All the employees at Blue Diamond Hotel spoke English and were all very helpful and welcoming. When we booked, it was said that there would be a safe in the room. Upon our arrival, there wasn't one and […] we called front desk about it. The lady did argue with us for a bit and wanted to charge us for the safe, but in the end we stood our ground and explained that it was booked when we made our reservation. She eventually sent up a safe and they screwed it into a cabinet in the room. Overall, we were happy with the service, the cleanliness and the convenient location of the hotel and would recommend it to others. Read more

My partner and I chose a Deluxe room and were very pleased with it. It is spacious, even the bath room, and clean. Our room was in the back, facing another hotel, and so was very quiet. The location is perfect - just two short blocks from Ben Thanh Market and right next to the Reunification Palace. The hotel staff are all very helpful and friendly.

for the casual traveler to Ho Chi Minh City. Convenient to the Ben Thanh Market and other tourist attractions. A good value. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Highly recommended for the traveler on a budget.

VERY BRIGHT, CLEAN HOTEL WITH FRIENDLY & HELPFUL STAFFS. VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED TO HCM CITY SIGHT SEEING & MARKETS. THE BUFFET IS DELICIOUS WITH GOOD STAFF SERVICE. WORTH THE MONEY. THE PRICE IS GOOD.

The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful. The complementary breakfast is really good. Though my room doesn't have a window, it is clean and comfortable. The hotel is located 3 minutes walk to the market, Reunification Palace, and many other tourist destinations. Very convenient location.

If you are looking for a great value, then this hotel is it. very close to Saigon River, shopping area and the old palace. the hotel is in good shape for an older hotel. keep in mind, this is not the Hilton. If that is what you are looking for, then this is the wrong hotel for you. This is a nice locals hotel. The staff speaks great English and they […] are very helpful. Rooms are clean, but older. Showers were old and could use some help. Hot water took a while in the morning. The hotel Restaurant was more Asian cuisine. Not much for western food, but it was very good. Local street vendors make great food and outstanding values. I think you could find a lot more expensive hotels, but why pay a fortune when it is just a place to sleep and get cleaned up. Read more

Great Hotel for the money, clean comfortable rooms with good internet connection and friendly staff. I will go there again.

The affordable room we booked here looked totally nice on hotels.com and on the website. When we arrived, we discovered it was a windowless mildew-smelling box on the first floor next to the gym and bar. The hotel staff (whose English was some of the worst i've encountered in a hotel in 3 weeks in SE Asia) refused to move us to the same type of room […] on a higher floor unless we paid for an upgrade. Perhaps other rooms and desk clerks are nicer, but overall our experience was NOT good. Read more

The Blue Diamond is a great hotel to be at. Its staff is knowledgeable and helpful; the location is great and the hotel is clean. We stayed there twice and everything went well both times.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights during our travels through Vietnam. I can't say enough great things about the staff at this hotel. We were upgraded upon arrival and treated as if we were staying at a 5 star property. The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel is one block from the market so there is noise and traffic but that is expected when […] traveling to big cities. The location is central and close to everything you must see in the city. 2 days after we checked out of the hotel and were in a different city my husband realized he left something important in the room at the Blue Diamond. We called and did not expect to ever see it again but to our surprise they held it for him and on our way back to the to the US we were able to pick it up before our flight. Amazing and honest staff!! Read more

I stayed for 3 nights and was very pleased with the hotel. There are more expensive and cheaper hotels nearby but for the mid-level price we paid it was a great stay. The front desk and bell hops are very friendly and helpful, they always smiled at us on our way in and out. We booked a no windowed room as we did not plan to be in the room except to […] sleep so we knew not to expect any natural light. The room is of the typical variety, nothing fancy but included everything we needed (free water bottles, fridge, clean everything, etc...). However, I did notice there wasn't a safe in the room. Blue Diamond is within walking distance to all the main sights in District 1. The Reunification Palace and several museums are about a 5-10 minute walk away. And the riverfront is about a 20 minute walk which we found very enjoyable with many shops and eateries along the way. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to others.

We stayed at the Blue Diamond at the beginning of our one month visit to Vietnam and were so impressed that we stayed on our last night. The staff is fantastic, the location is perfect, would stay again in a nano sec ond.

Stayed at the hotel 09/10 for two nights, excellent city hotel, stylish, extremely friendly and helpful staff, all comfort in room, i can highly recommend this new hotel!

We stayed in BDH for 5 nights with 2 kids. The location in Saigon is very central, the staff is very friendly and helpfull. The foot massage service is really a must (we did it together with the kids). We booked our private tours to Cu Chi tunnels and a 2 days excursion (private aswell) through the hotel for a very affordable price and very good se […] rvice. Read more

This hotel is so close to the Ben than Market, so if you like bargaining and haggling for a good price this if for you. The war museum and reunification palace is also just around the corner. Hotel staff are friendly and that also includes the kitchen staff. Tours were easy to book with the hotel and well priced. The only negative was the room descrption, […] when we arrived we had no outside window in room. there was a small frosted one that faced a wall, so i felt like i was in a box. And we had no safe in the room which on our booking notification we were told there was one. Passport could be left at the front desk safe but we had to carry around all our cash which was a little scary seeing we had just arrived with the full amount. So if you dont plan on spending much time in your room, this will be fine it has all the basics. Dont book a classic room as you wonjt get a safe (thats important) Read more

The blue diamond provides a buffet breakfast that is second to none. It changes every day with both Vietnamese and western selections. The staff all speak good English and go out of their way to make sure you are well served. We had a full breakfast each day that lasted us 'till well into the afternoon. The hotel had just introduced a 70 minute foot […] massage that included lower leg, back and neck for the ridiculous promotional price of 170 000 dong, $8.50. My wife and I had it twice and could have had it every day...a wonderful experience. Don't miss it!!! Read more

The location is great, the price is right, the breakfast buffet is complete. Staff and service are typical for vietnam, very very basic english and not overly friendly. 2 min walk from night and day market and close to major sites. City and area are very safe, but absolutely filthy and overrun by motorcycles, so be careful when stepping out of the  […] hotel. Read more

Stayed here for a couple of nights while exploring Saigon and its surroundings. Perfect location close to the Ben Thanh market, streets of lovely restaurants and walking distance to other city attractions. Clean room, a decent breakfast and polite staff with good knowledge of English. Would definitely stay here again if I return to HCMC.

The Blue Diamond does a wonderful buffet breakfast which changes every day. There is a wonderful mix of Vietnamese and western foods and the service is outstanding. This with the good location makes the Blue Diamond a real deal

Very central location. Really nice friendly staff. Breakfast reasonable. Opposite several massage parlours which were quite entertaining but not a seedy area. Would definitely book again.

Staff on desk a bit stern - not happy or friendly. Bus boys were friendly. B/fast was nice. Location great - short walking distance to markets and some sights. Watch out for the cyclos at the markets - they'll try to rip you off by quoting a fee to a sight and then showing you the same leaflet with an exhorbitant hourly fee.

The hotel is located near tourist attraction and Ben Ten Market. The customer service at the reception was good. Housekeeping service is good as well.

delux room was clean small & no window (a very small window into the light well ) very claustrophobic ... My friend got upgraded to higher class room, and said that it was OK.

I had a superior room wich don't have a window.well, they really have one small to the corridor (indoor). It is claustrophobic. Poor breakfast also. Good location, very nice staff, but better options for the same price nearby

Good quiet location. We had a rare room - nice and quiet. Staff were well trained and helpful. Not in the high end hotel area, nor is it in the backpacker area - a good area to be in. Wifi is a bit limited, although adequate. Breakfasts OK. We would come back.

Blue Diamond hotel is a nice 3 star hotel. But I think only the luxury rooms that can accommodate 3 peoples (with extra bed), because other types of room are small. The room is clean, the bathroom is clean and spacious and the Wi-Fi connection in the room is pretty good. It is less than 5 minutes to walk to the famous Ben Thanh Market and within walking […] distance to many points of interest, like Reunification Palace, Central Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, War Remnants Museum, shopping malls and many others. They serve Asian and European food for breakfast and they change the menu everyday. The hotel staff is friendly, so I think it is a good value for money Read more

First of all, great location! About 30 min from the airport with the bad traffic - 150000 dong by meter. Next to ben thanh market which was not impressive at all, but walking distance to all other attractions in district 1, including hotels, bars, clubs, good food. Room is decent - I stayed in a premium deluxe which had a nice large toilet ( room 104 […] ). Everything in the room was clean and functional, staff were friendly and helpful as well. Read more

great hotel in great location. Very nice staff

Great location, friendly n helpful staff are all I can say about this hotel. The transfer that I arranged directly with the hotel was there on time for both ways. Everyday the rooms are spotlessly cleaned by the housekeepers. I booked the Premier Deluxe room and was very happy with all the amenities provided. Will strongly recommend this hotel!!

Good hotel to stay in, nice and central to everything, Clean, friendly, organised tours for us, pick up at front door, food was nice, overall quick good.

Good price/quality ratio. The breakfast buffet is good. Staff is friendly and helpful. It has good internet and business center facilities, with a quiet bar on the first floor to meeting business relations. Unfortunately I had a room without a window and next to the elevator shaft.

This is a real little gem. Fantastic service and great location. Everything is within walking distance and the restaurant serves great cheap food. The only small issue we had was the noise through the night and early morning, take ear plugs. Would definitely stay again!

The people of the hotel were very helpful, breakfast was great and also the location was very good. All in all can this hotel be easily recommended.

Clean, convenient & good service!

Apprehensive at first prior to arrival but cannot find any faults from time of arrival to departure. What could have been better would be to have a handrail on the steps to the lobby. Came with my aged parents and they found it a little difficult and dangerous to climb up and down the stairs everytime we went out shopping or sightseeing.

nothing in ho chin minh is to shout about except the hotel staff. they were friendly, helpful and able to communicate effectively. the hotel may not be 5 star but it is affordable and the service is amazing and accommodating. if i visit HCMC again i'd definitely stay back there.

Hotel is located close to market. (Ben Thanh) Staff were ok. Had to ask them a few times about an enquiry we had. Agree with the other reviews room smells of damp.

This is my first visit to HCMC and first time staying in a 3-star hotel as such. It is also my first time booked through Hotels.com. I felt so at home frm the moment i checked-in till the last day. All the staff was so friendly and very helpful. Although the superior room was a bit small but it doesnt matter much to me coz i spend most of my time outside. […] Room is well equipped with simple modern amenities. Only thing is the flat screen tv doesnt show any english movies at all. Not even a channel for that. Vietnamese movies without subtitles Breakfast buffet was sumptuos and tasty too. Business centre is at the corner of the restaurant and i find it very useful and practical for the hotel guests to access to it. It took about less than 10 mins walk to the Ben Thanh Market. And many shops are within walking distance. Its quite safe to walk at night too. I strongly recommend this hotel to those couples/partners whom are in low to medium budget,looking and expecting for a peaceful and safe surroundings,good food,good stay and good holiday. Enjoy!
