The hype
Travelers universally adore the pool, the design, and the speedboat, often calling it an 'oasis' in a chaotic city.
Mia Saigon - Luxury Boutique Hotel
$160-280 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want a French Indochine riverside sanctuary that feels like a resort but is still within striking distance of the Saigon chaos.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Complimentary speedboat shuttle to District 1 (a total flex)
- Floor-to-ceiling river views from every single room
- The 'Kitchen by the River' breakfast buffet is legitimately phenomenal
Stutt samantekt: It’s a stunning escape, but if you want to stumble home from a District 1 bar at 2am, the 20-minute taxi ride will sober you up fast.
Farið yfir af @nawfanurie: I felt like I stepped back in time here. The vintage car ride set the mood immediately. My room had the most relaxing river view, and the colonial design makes every corner photogenic. It’s the perfect quiet escape from the city noise.

Reality check
The 'peace and quiet' is sometimes broken by hallway noise or the realization that you are far from the main tourist sights.
- You prefer a 'resort' feel over a city hotel
- You love the Thao Dien expat vibe (cool cafes, yoga, villas)
- You appreciate Art Deco/Indochine aesthetics
Hreinlæti og viðhald

- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. High-end fixtures. No consistent mold complaints.
- Maintenance: The property is relatively new (2019) and well-maintained, though the humid climate challenges the exterior paint.
- Linens & towels: Plush, high-thread-count, and consistently fresh.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of lemongrass and ginger. Rooms are fresh, though open corridors can be humid.

Gott að vita
- The speedboat shuttle is free for guests but runs on a fixed schedule — book your seats at check-in.
- Grab (ride-hailing app) works perfectly here and is cheap.
- District 2 is an expat bubble with amazing western food, but less 'authentic' street life than District 1.
Hvað á að pakka
- Swimsuit for the saltwater pool
- Mosquito repellent (riverside location = bugs)
- Light linen clothes for the humid tropical weather
Herbergis-Genie
Bestu val

Herbergi til að forðast

“I would love a quiet room on a high floor, as far from the elevators as possible. Please ensure it is NOT a connecting room. A direct river view is much appreciated.”
Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is the speedboat really free?
Yes, for in-house guests. It runs approx. 5 times daily to Bach Dang Wharf (District 1).
Is it too far from the city center?
It's 20-30 mins by boat or car. If you plan to go to District 1 once a day, it's fine. If you want to pop in and out, it's annoying.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent. Check your specific rate to be sure.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Not really. The immediate street is quiet/residential. You'll need a short Grab ride to the main Thao Dien strip (8 mins).
Is there a pool?
Yes, two outdoor pools, including a 25m saltwater lap pool overlooking the river.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, there is a kids' pool and the staff are welcoming, but the vibe is definitely more 'grown-up luxury'.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
Hit 'The Muse' rooftop bar for Happy Hour (daily 5-7pm) for sunset views and deals.
- ✨
Order the 'Banh Khot' at Kitchen by the River — surprisingly authentic for a hotel restaurant.
- ✨
Book the speedboat for sunset even if you aren't going to the city; it's a free river cruise.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The 'river view' also includes a view of the developing city skyline, which is beautiful at night but construction-heavy by day.
💡The hallway carpets can feel a bit dated compared to the pristine rooms.
💡You might spot a gecko or two in the open-air corridors (it's the tropics!).
💡The spa prices are high by Vietnam standards but the quality is legit.
💡The 'Indochine' decor is intense — if you hate patterned tiles and velvet, you'll hate this.
