    “nice late find”

    I recently stayed at Empress Hotel in District 1. Overall, it’s a decent option if you need a clean place to rest in a great location. Pros: The room was clean and looked reasonably well maintained. The bed was soft and comfortable, which made it easy to get a good night’s sleep. The hotel is also very conveniently located—close to pretty much everything in District 1. Another big plus was that the staff were kind enough to find rooms for us at the last minute, which we really appreciated. Cons: The room itself was very small and the bed frame was a bit squeaky. The views were mostly blocked, and considering the price, it felt a little expensive—especially since there’s no free breakfast included. The TV was small and had a very noisy picture, and the AC was somewhat weak. I’ve stayed at cheaper places in Saigon with better overall accommodations. Overall: I would still recommend it if you’re in a pinch and need a clean, comfortable room in a central location, but there may be better value options nearby if you plan ahead.

    “Very good”

    Don't think this place warrants some of its bad reviews. From my experience, my room was clean, spacious and comfortable and always had hot water. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lobby and rest of the hotel was clean and well decorated. Yes some construction work was going on at the time but nothing that really bothered me. It never started too early and was always quiet by 5. If you're still in bed between the hours they were working I think that's your problem 😊
