Guest Reviews

• Lee (10/5): - Very Nice stay. Easy check in, friendly host, everything just worked. Having lived in Vietnam, can definitely recommend this location, close to everything, but quiet so that you can sleep well.
• Harley (10/5): - Very satisfied place to stay. Its clean, quite and good service. Be back next time!
• thăng (10/5): - Whenever i come here, 100% perfect Kind host clean room 👍
• nguyen (10/5): - This is located in a prime area as you’re only a bridge away from things such as Ben Thanh! The hosts were very accommodating and helpful with all my needs and requests during my stay, assisted with luggage storage and even bringing it to my room. I would stay here again, highly recommend
• Joan (10/5): - Love the place! Well worth every cent spent. Host was very responsive and clear with the instructions. Property is well kept and almost feels like home. Will definitely be back again! Thanks once again for having me.
• Ching (10/5): - 이번에도 잘 머물다 갑니다. 필요한것들 요청하면 바로 들어주시고 친절합니다. 적극 추천드립니다.
• Stefan (10/5): - Had a really excellent stay at this apartment, amazing view over the river towards the Saigon Skydeck. Really peaceful stay and very easy to get around the city from here with grab or even walking.
• Barry (10/5): - 住宿体验很棒！地理位置绝佳，房间一尘不染，设施齐全，我们所需的一切都齐全。强烈推荐！
• Duchoud (10/5): - Excellent apartment which is conveniently located walking distance from the main streets over the bridge. Apartment itself was very clean, spacious and with a great view. Host was very responsive on the chat at anytime. Highly recommend!
• Mulyadi (10/5): - Really nice place , close to district 1 . Check in was smooth and quick .
• Đắc Nhân (10/5): - Hồ bơi lớn, cả gia đình mình có 1 trải nghiệm vui

• Judarat (10/5): -
• Ruckel-Farkas (8/5): -
• Laura (2/5): Decepcionante. - A una media hora andando del centro. Nos ofrecieron un apartamento que luego no era en el que nos alojamos. Tiene un precio desorbitado en comparacion con los precios de hoteles muchisimo mejores. El apartamento era viejo y estaba poco cuidado. La policía nos llamó a la una y media de la mañana para tomarnos los datos y aparentemente es algo que hacen a menudo en este bloque de apartamentos. Había bichos muertos en la cama. El horario de la piscina es ridículo (de 1 a 5, cuando más calor hace). Es cierto que la piscina es enorme, pero no hay hamacas y tienes que avisar previamente de que vas a usar la piscina. Muy decepcionada con el dinero que me ha costado.
• Len (8/5): -
• Dan (7/5): -
• Sanchez (6/5): - Close to everything we needed especially a pharmacy Guards were too much.
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Super happy with our stay here! The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, clean and same as description. Great location, close to District 1, it's easy to book Grab and access to essential amenities, many restaurants, coffee shop and stores. Ms Bich Thuy is very kind and helpful, and building staffs are also friendly. Everything is just perfect, I honestly recommend it. Thank you for everything.
• Conway (9/5): Superb - Really happy with our stay. Host was so flexible and responsible. Accommodation was exactly as described, amazing location and good value.
• Kang (9/5): Superb - We had a lovely stay! The property was spotless, neat, and located in a secure building. The view of the Ben Thanh River was amazing and made our stay even better. The location is excellent—right in the center of District 1, close to Ho Chi Minh’s main attractions, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and a mini supermarket nearby
• Tju (9/5): Superb - Would definitely look at rebooking on my next trip
• Lo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host! 10/10 would recommend the location and the condo

• Đinh (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place, spacious and have everything you need for a short to medium stay. Host responds very quickly, easy check in & check out process. Good location, has a nice pickup/ drop off area in front of the building. Very easy to get Grab car or food delivery. The washer & laundry detergent is a great bonus. The security staff is also friendly & helpful. 2 convience stores downstairs also comes in handy if you need anything.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Accomodation was located in a good location with lots to do around the apartment. Check in was easy and the host was very friendly and responsive. Everything was spotless and everything noted on the listing was included.
• Jenelyn (10/5): Exceptional - What a little gem ! Cozy and warm was a delightful apartment with everything we needed. Private balcony a lovely bonus for coffee in the morning. Close and convenient for shopping, tourist attractions . Easy to locate and convenient key collection. We had a great time and would definately come again. Thank you . 😁
• Jihoon (10/5): Exceptional - nice apartment, friendly owner

• Duchoud (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, spotless and roomy enough for my family of 4. Ace also very responsive and accommodating. Great stay, recommended 👍
• Rivera (10/5): Exceptional - Good deal. Cheap but nice ❤️
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, nice environment, owner responds quickly
• Mikela (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful view of the city which I love. Host is very friendly and willing to help with late check out when I had some changes with the flight home. Away from the crowded city with a really quick bike or car to downtown Saigon.
• Carter (7/5): Good - The apartment was big and comfortable for a family. We could only use the pool between 12pm-5pm, and had to have a couple hours notice so someone could sign us in. There were also ants in the apt when we checked it, but they did supply more ant spray. It was also a far/unpleasant walk from the apartment to attractions in district 1, causing us to take taxis most of the time.
• Stefan (10/5): Exceptional - The place was clean and well equipped for families. Location is good as it is near places of interest. Very prompt follow up for some areas communicated, so thumbs up for the fantastic service!👍
• Tommy (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and very clean
• Liu (10/5): Exceptional - The room itself was beautifully decorated and clean, with all the amenities I could have possibly needed. The bed was comfortable as well. I particularly appreciated the hotel's location, with easy access to all the major attractions in the city.
• Natasha (8/5): Very good - This was an apartment in a large residential booking. The apartment online isn't what we got, but it was still nice. The host had to meet us to check in but was friendly and accommodating. The pool could only be used 12pm to 5pm, and we had to book a time with the host so she could let the pool security know... a bit weird....
• Shane (10/5): Exceptional - The host was amazing Everything was perfect, highly reccomend yr stay here
• Robert (6/5): Average - Great view from floor 19, good location. Washing machine a bonus if you're booked in for a few days. Had all the basics needed for cooking. Walk down to main tourist area takes about half hour. I used grab. Needed a good clean. Aircon leaked over bedroom floor. Check in was meeting the rep outside the building which took a long time. It's actually called Rivergate not sure where Genius fits in? Shower tap kept falling off.
• Elliott (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (8/5): A nice place for a short stay - Close to shops
• Glory (1/5): Bad - My experience at this Airbnb was far from satisfactory. The facilities were poorly maintained—chargers wouldn’t connect properly, and no drinking water was provided, which is a basic necessity. The lighting was dim and off-putting, making the space feel dull. The towels had a terrible odor, which was completely unhygienic. Additionally, there were no dustbins in the room, making cleanliness a challenge. The space itself was very congested and definitely not suitable for more than two people. Overall, this stay was highly disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience
• Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aleksei (9/5): Superb -
• Kelly (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lucy (10/5): Enjoyable stay in comfortable room in a great location! - Clean and spacious!
• Michael (5/5): Wouldn't return - Nice city view from the apartment and pool - Several shops in the same building and relatively close to District 1 Right at a very busy street which made walking rather unpleasant - No good breakfast options nearby Incredibly uncomfortable couch - Pool was OK, but a bit annoying because you had to inform the host who then had to inform the security guards for whatever reason before you were allowed to enter - All in all not a place we were looking forward to returning to in the evening
• Foster (9/5): Superb -
• Enkhbayar (7/5): Okay-ish - Location was good. So close to the walking street and District 1, like tourist areas. If you want to use the pool u need to tell the host and host will tell another person whos managing a pool, i went back twice it was really annoying
• Mckenzie (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best if notvthe best host. One of the best Airbnb places we stayed in. Very accomodating and friendly! Very responsive
• Dhananjay (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is very good. The staff is so humble and cooperative. Love the stays. Highly recommend
• Mai (5/5): Passable - Convinces shops on next door. Don't have enough towels for 3 nghit .Don't have a bath mat and hand towels. The bathroom hasn't been well cleaned .
• Mike (7/5): Good - Lovely apartment, the view was great across the city and the apartment had lots of cooking options. District 4 had some good local restaurants. The photos of the apartment on booking.com were different to what we had when we arrived. We had 4 people and booked a quadruple room but the second bed was very small for 2 people. The host did try to help us change to another room.
• Tugsmunkh (8/5): Yes - Good Small pool
• Gill (1/5): SCAM RIVER GATE - Frankly speaking nothing, it’s a SCAM Absolutely terrible experience – this place is a complete SCAM. They canceled our booking at 2:30 PM, just as we were waiting outside to check in at 3 PM. They also advertise rooms that look nothing like what you actually get. We were stuck with a completely different room, but they didn’t care since we were desperate to get our kids off the road. When we complained, they just told us to vacate and find somewhere else. And we weren’t the only ones. There were at least seven other families who had their bookings canceled for the same reason, only to be asked to pay more money for smaller or different rooms. Don’t even think about booking here – even Booking.com can't help you with this mess!
• Ann (10/5): we used this property for my wife’s return to her home country. She left Saigon 34 years ago, we visited her former apar - great location & clean. cafe & 7 eleven downstairs were great. check in process.
• Jonas (8/5): Good location and value, but there is a risk involved related to the new housing law - The apartment itself is nice although not very large, with a pentry, small dining table, a bed sofa and a large bed. There are cabinets and a nice bathroom. The kitchen was missing some basic things like enough plates or knives, and the pans and pots were heavily used, but we got new ones shortly after requesting. There is a Winmart at the ground floor catering for expats so it has a good selection of food (considering its fairly small size), although it's not the cheapest store around. There is a washing machine so you can wash your laundry and it dries super fast in the dry and hot Saigon air. Our flat was at the fourth floor with the best views blocked by the neighboring Millennium Apartments. The location is good, not far from the centre. I wouldn't stay much further away from the centre than this. With the terrible Saigon traffic, even short distances can take quite some time. The rating of this place depends a lot on how you look at the new "short-term rentals in apartment houses are forbidden"-law. There is a big sign announcing this at the door, but clearly various rentals is such a big thing in this huge building that it is not enforced in any other way than that you have to contact your host one hour in advance to check if you can go to the pool (which for logical reasons will prioritize permanent tenants if the pool is busy, which it wasn't during our stay there).
• Linda (7/5): It was a great value and clean. Connecting with the host could have been better. - I liked that there was a washing machine in the room and drying racks. There was also a small kitchen. The place was clean and there are stores and a coffee shop downstairs. It was relatively hard to get in touch with the host and I was unsure how we would get into the unit. It
• Teresa (7/5): Good -
• Takuhiro (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment near the center of District 1. Spacious and quiet apartment. Bed has very soft mattress, clean sheets. Host responds quickly and gives helpful instructions.
• Eilertsen (7/5): Quiet, slightly out of the way but comfortable. - The apartment was comfortable and quiet - we had a great night sleep. There are also shops downstairs which was convenient. We were given the check in instructions late. Other than that, all ok.
• Olga (10/5): very satisfied -
• Grégory (6/5): All in all, the stay is OK, but no more than that. - A swimming pool was promised. In practice, we also get a pool, but turned out to be a little more complicated. The owner must register you each time in advance, otherwise you will not get access to the pool. Every Monday you can't use the pool, as there is a full day of maintenance. The pool is only available from 5pm. All in all, the stay is OK, but no more than that. The condition of the studio could also be a little better: the paste and paint is coming loose from the wall, the partition wall is only attached with 1 screw and ready to fall, ...
• Ari (1/5): Bad - Old room with old facilities. Totally not like in the picture. They state checkin time is 12:00 but they let us wait until 14:00 with the “cleaning the room” execuse.
• Simona (7/5): Good - Room was very simple. But liked restaurants, markets on the first floor and pool was very nice.
• Khang (3/5): Poor - The location is great, near the center district 1 that is all. Owner came into room while we were living there. Not free pool. You have to go through sign up and someone bring you into the pool in order to access. The whole process is a hassle for a swim. Better off staying at a hotel IMHO.
• Julie (8/5): Room needs a little. It if TLC. Great shower. Not a relaxing place to stay. - Location Over security. Having to text to get permission to go to the pool. Waiting 10 minutes before going. Getting there and being questioned if we’d registered. Great pool with lots of people and 8 lounges. Nowhere to put things or sit.
• Prakhar (7/5): Good -
• Monika (6/5): Much worst than on the pictures - View from the window The apartment we rented was completely different than on the Pictures. It supposed to be 30m2 but it was not more than 20m2 and the quality of furnitures was as well much lower than on the Pictures. Bedsheet was old and very used, should be replaced with the new one. Washing is not enough... In general it looks more like poor room in dormitory
• Dani (10/5): Excellent choice for accommodation in HCM - Location was very convenient and the staff there very helpful. Room had also an amazing view of the city. Special thanks to Miss Sujyo Everything was perfect
• Eliza (7/5): Good - Pictures very different
• Henry (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect apartment for our needs and well situated. Would stay again!
• Markus (10/5): Exceptional - Cosy and spacious apartment with ample supplies provided. Nice view from the balcony as well. Check-in process was straightforward with very clear instructions and host was friendly and responsive.
• Jennifer (7/5): Good - Location is in D4 but walking distance to Buy Vien. It's a bit noisy by a main road but I guess everywhere is noisy in town. Otherwise the apartment was all good. The bed in my apartment was very hard, but I guess thats normal for Vietnamese beds. The pool was crowded with kids of the residents living there, so didn't use it. Could be good for family with kids though.
• Lagarto (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place and a lovely host. Had an amazing time. Great value and nice pool!
