Staff at the hotel were very welcoming and helpful. We arrived and the driver dropped us across the street. The doorman rushed over and helped us across. He was there everyday and always welcomed us warmly. The breakfast was very nice and fresh. Very close to Ben Thanh markets but make sure that you check out the Ben Nhy food court/market around the corner. It is by far the best place to eat at in the area.

Lovely hotel in central location

Lovely hotel in a great location, 3 mins walk to Bến Thành market with lots of shops and rest nearby. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. My room was clean and spacious and breakfast had a range of options. I would stay here again.

Never a four star hotel

This hotel is a complete dump - heaven knows how it got a 4 star ranking. I have stayed in 7 hotels on this trip to Vietnam, five of them 3* and the Sky Gem is well behind them in terms of quality. The bedroom was without window, smelled damp and in need of renovation and redecoration with ancient electrical fittings. There was no proper desk/table to work at. No glasses bar tooth mugs. The bathroom had a small bath with mold on and around the grouting. Breakfast was abysmal - no fruit jiuce, cold coffee (hot plate not even switched on), dishes of dried up food less than lukewarm. no cheese or tomato and the poorest selection of fruit I have seen at any Vietnamese hotel. The breakfast staff were like grumpy school dinner ladies barking at guests how many minutes they had left. Even clothes sent to the laundry came back damp. If you don't care about food, cleanliness or amenities, the location is good,

接客、清潔さ、立地、全てにおいて満足できるホテル。 夫婦での利用で、夜遅くの飛行機でかつ、遅延によりホテルの到着は夜中の12時でしたが、迎え入れてくれたスタッフたちは荷物の受け入れから、チェックインまで丁寧かつ、親切でした。 立地的には1区のホーチミン独立宮殿の近くで、ベンタイン市場も徒歩5分程度です。 独立宮殿側は朝から散歩するには最高ですよ。 grabも呼び易く、ホーチミンのどこにアクセスするにも便利だと思います。 毎回、スタッフの方がドアを開けて挨拶してくれるのは非常に気持ち良いです。 設備に関してはお値段相当かもしれませんが、アメニティも一通り揃っており、手ぶらで来ても問題はないと思います。 ※私はアメニティは持参派ですが 眺望は何もないですが、お値段的には当たり前と思います。 あとは清掃も行き届いていて、非常に快適です。 朝食のビュッフェも思った以上に充実していて、ベトナムの食事に不安のある方もここなら安心して食べられると思います。 次回以降も同じ程度の費用で泊まれるならここに泊まりたいなと思います。 素敵な体験をありがとうございます。
