The Reverie Saigon
This is a very shiny hotel. Claims 5 star but misses level of service we found at other 5 star hotels in Vietnam. Below the surface marble everywhere the rooms smell very musty the pool is falling apart in places. It is not worth the money they charge and definitely not a leading hotel as they claim. ...

Hotel Majestic Saigon
Very unsafe bathtub situation with elevated access. Not sure how others managed it but I almost slipped on completely wet floor. Would not stay here again because of that.
