La Siesta Premium Saigon

La Siesta Premium Saigon

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at La Siesta Premium Saigon was an amazing start to our trip to Vietnam. Standouts include: the staff, the breakfast, and the top level view. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and were always willing to go above and beyond. We very much enjoyed our included breakfast, especially with the amazing view from the top level next to the pool. The Sky Bar was also an amazing spot for a drink, though expect to pay hotel prices. Our room was very clean and spacious, however our shower did leak slightly - though this was no issue. Overall an amazing stay and would highly recommend. We will be back when we return to HCMC."
