Deluxe Room is not 32 m2, is 21 m2

I booked the Deluxe Room on Hotels.com listed as 32 m2. Upon arrival, they tried to downgrade me to a Superior Room without telling me, but I caught that before I went up to the room. They then escorted me up to the Deluxe Room, but it was only 21 m2. A far cry from the 32 m2 room that I booked. I pointed that out and they upgraded me to their Senior Deluxe Room that measures 30 m2. That's big enough for me. The wifi password they gave me, "familyinn" did not work, but I just hardwired to the hallway router instead to go online. There's coffee and tea making facilities in the room.

Sorely outdated, but clean and comfortable

Stayed at the Family Inn Saigon for a quick work trip. I wanted to stay away from the Ben Thanh shopping area so this looked a decent location and value for the money. My room was sorely outdated, the television emitted a high pitch frequency, and the lighting was abysmal. Breakfast was OK and the bed was OK as well. Don't expect anything fantastic here but it's also perfectly fine if you just need a place to sleep and is clean and functional.

This hotel is close to attractions, we stayed in the business room two queen size beds. Rooms were clean, but ceiling badly needs a fresh coat of paint. the TV is ancient. CRT type. the breakfast was decent. The only good thing about this hotel are friendly staff, they were very helpful. Is a decent place to stay, but my next visit would like to try other hotels nearby.

Would not recommended to others. Switch and bait !

The 1st day I came to check in to the hotel I had a hard time. I showed and told the front office staff that I've booked a business room (double bed room for up to 4 people max). The lady kept insisting that I booked for 1 people. We argued and then she said she was going to upgrade me to a room and that only 3 people are allowed to check in, even if the room allows 4 people. The next day the same lady called and said only one person are allowed to eat breakfast for free the other two guest have to pay for their meal. I said that is insane, I booked a room for 4 people then all 4 people should be entitled for free breakfast. They kept repeating the same thing that only 1 person are allowed to eat, because the lose profit to the room that I'm staying. The Vietnamese people don't hold their standards, therefore I did not enjoy my stay here!! It's a bait and switch hotel. Never will stay here nor recommended others to stay here again. I travel to countries and in the states a lot never have I encountered the ordeal. there at the hotel. I did not enjoy my stay here!! It's a bait and switch hotel.

Light in room was dark, not good for report making on business trip. Other, for servise was good and staff were kind enough. At restaurant, staff want to take back our dishes which become empty during the eating period (Not finish eating), it was not good for me but almost common for many hotels.( Maybe I should accept.)

逆に割と過ごしやすいホテルです。 バックパッカー街には徒歩圏ですが他の地区を観光するにはかなり歩きます。行きは徒歩で帰りはタクシーなど使う工夫が必要。部屋はまぁまぁ清潔かと。日本語話せるスタッフはいません。英語は何とか通じます。

Great district 1 Hotel for a mid-range budget

We stayed here as a family of four, and had two of the standard rooms. We were surprised by how fantastic this hotel was for the money. The rooms were spotless, and there was a constant stream of cleaners cleaning everything from the lobby to the restaurant. Although the rooms weren't overly modern, they weren't dated either. There was heaps of hot water, and a cheap mini-bar. The breakfast each morning was really good, and the staff kept the dishes filled, and kept on clearing plates from our table with a smile. After a couple of days, the lady at the egg-station knew our orders, and brought them to us, after we had sat down each morning We booked a number of tours through the front desk, and they were pretty reasonable, and of much better quality than a tour we had booked at a travel agents out on the street. Overall highly recommended and would happily stay there again

コスパは十二分に良いと思います。

コスト・パフォーマンスは素晴らしい。朝食も生野菜あり、卵料理依頼可能で、無料にしては十二分に良い。隣室の水音などがうるさかったり、シャワーの湯が出にくいときがある、鍵は昔ながらの鍵で面倒、エレベータがすごく遅い（おかげで健康のために階段を使えたのでOK)などの良くない面はあるが、価格と朝食は、それら不具合を補っていると私は思う。

Comfortable Stay

We booked the Superior Room and got a beautiful room but with no window. The Manager on duty was kind enough to change our room for a window. We decided to have a late check-out by paying $20 for 5 extra hours. The room was beautiful well maintained bright and clean. The 2 double beds were soft and comfortable. AC worked well. The toilet and bath/shower was good with hot water. However, the bath-tub was unusable as there was no plug to hold the water. Breakfast was okay. Surrounding was not bad.
