4 min readNov 29, 2020
Elegant & Exquisite Hotel Lobby

Living in the Library! 10min Drive Away from the Airport

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Spotlights

  • Beautiful Lobby w/ Huge Bookshelves: #InstagramWorthy
  • Affordable Room Prices (they’ve already been economical before pandemic)
  • 10min Driving Distance to The Airport
  • Tasty à la carte Local Deli Breakfast
  • Extremely Quiet Neighborhood
  • Spacious Room

Pity

  • The Bathroom water pressure was extremely low. I didn’t enjoy the shower.
  • The in-room lighting was relatively dim at night due to yellow tones.
  • Located in a narrow alley, some drivers couldn’t find it.
  • No free bottled water provided.
  • If the Stay & Dine Package was only limited for lunchtime, the hotel should have informed me first. I didn’t have time to have lunches during my stay and wasted the promotion package.
