Second time staying at Caravelle Hotel. On our first trip we lucked out and got a corner room overlooking the Opera House. This trip we lucked out again and got a corner room but a little higher up and got a view of the Opera House and Dong Khoi/Nguyen Hue.
The staff and service were great on both of our visits. Top tier service, friendliness, and such a nice and clean hotel to be in. Bright and spacious lobby and reception. Great service from the door people, reception, and housekeeping.
They offer money exchange service, and their rates from what I could tell, were very good, and they don't deduct any exchange fee like an outside exchange might.
The location of the hotel is just right. Not too far a walk from any tourist area/attraction. Close to Nguyen Hue walking street, Saigon Centre and Square, and a variety of street food and other coffee and food restaurants in the area if you choose to dine out.
Overall a great experience and great place to stay in district 1. Highly recommend this place, would definitely stay here again and again.
