- Douglas (10/5): - The place smells nice, is clean, and the staff are great. The ladies who give the massages are fantastic—oh my, they are great girls!
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Thanh (10/5): Excellent place to stay, walking distance to the markets - Helpful and professional staff
- Strydom (5/5): -
- sebastien (8/5): Bon emplacement parfait pour finir son voyage - La piscine est agréable et l'emplacement Les chambres sont un peu Petites
- Donna (9/5): Lovely hotel in a great location, nice staff and great to have the pool during an intense few days. - Lovely hotel in a great location. Great to have the pool to use. The breakfast was varied but more for the Asian guests. Great service from when we used the laundry service. We had afternoon tea in with the room, it was nice to have but not great choices. But appreciated.
- Kathy Kay (10/5): - The staff was excellent and attentive. The hotel has that old world charm. I liked the street and neighborhood. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Good wifi and smart tv. The beds and pillows were comfortable and good aircon and shower. The breakfast buffet was tasty with a large selection and really good omelets and coffee and juices. I also enjoyed the rooftop afternoon tea. I had an excellent massage in the rooftop spa , I really recommend this spa. There's a super good coffee Cafe at the entrance that they gave me a voucher for on arrival. I enjoyed relaxing at the rooftop pool in the evenings and with my morning coffee to watch the sunrise. I would stay there again. All was good.
- Navindra (10/5): Definitely a plus!! Breakfast was amazing. - Great location and staff, very close to many bars, cafes, markets, malls and other places. I did not like that the water was coming out the shower. Maybe they should install a small lip/ledge to prevent the water from getting out.
- kelly (10/5): Perfect ! - The property was spotlessly clean, staff so helpful and friendly . The breakfast and afternoon tea absolutely beautiful. The little coffee shop in the basement also delightful .
- stephen (5/5): - Before i arrived i got a scam whatsapp message from someone sending me a fake booking.com link. The scammer had the exact details of my stay at this hotel.
The room's shower was on the balcony.
- Gösta (7/5): -
- Helen (8/5): - Great location, amazing staff, large and clean rooms! Everything was great except for the buffet breakfast, I wasn't a fan of the food. Other than that, everything was great. The breakfast buffet
- Eileen (9/5): -
- Mila Rodina (10/5): Перевищило очікування 😍 - Неймовірно атмосферний і затишний готель. А ванна з джакузі на балконі це взагалі топ! 🤩 Персонал надзвичайний ❤️
- Jayden (6/5): - Great location and friendly staff. The hotel is very outdated. There was a stain on our bed quilt which made us question the cleanliness of our room. The breakfast was disappointing too.

- Maureen (9/5): -
- Miles Chao (9/5): - visit hochiminh best location. the hotel is very comfortable, we enjoy the our stay.
we accident damage the chair and willing to compensate the cost, manager generate to offer free cost.
- LINDA (9/5): I enjoyed my stay, staff was courteous and helpful - It was decent and beautiful
- Emmanuel (10/5): - I enjoyed every moment! I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service.
Room: Spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the noise isolation was excellent – I didn’t hear anything from the street or the hallway.
Service: All the staff, from the cleaners to the shift managers, had a smile on their faces.
Facilities: The pool is clean and the atmosphere there is very relaxing. The breakfast was excellent with lots of options.
In summary: Excellent value for money 😊
- Karen (8/5): -
- Christiaan (10/5): Very good choice for Saigon - Very good location, beautiful diningroom and excelent breakfast.
Everything was perfect here. nothing to complain about!
- Andrea (10/5): Had such a great stay at Au Lac Charner Hotel ❤️ The staff were so friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, and - The aesthetics of the lobby , so welcoming from the moment you pull up. The rooftop pool was amazing. Everything looked exactly like the pictures online, which made the whole experience even better.
- Brooke (10/5): - Location was great and comfy beds The in-house massage. Im sure the therapist wasn't trained. She was just pushing down with lots of pressure and not massaging.
- Lindy (9/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): We loved this Property, loaction and staff - Loved the outdoor shower in our room - it was very private, but out on the balcony. Very Quirky.
Location is fabulous as are the staff Wifi kept dropping out
- natalie (8/5): -
- Previn (9/5): Affordable luxury hotel in an awesome location - The location is ideal to walk and /or use grab to wherever you want to go. From the coffee apartments to ban than through Saigon square with a little detour off Saigon centre. Au Lac Charne offers a variety of food at the door step, from Vietnamese to Korean and believe or not a Aussie pub just across the street of the hotel. We felt at home 😁😁😁 The establishment is a bit dated and some minor refurbishment would make it a top notch hotel. This is only like looking with a magnifying glass any issues
- Leine (10/5): - Everything! The staff were beyond helpful, the buffet brekky was fresh and delicious, bed was comfy. It was so central to everything, the rooftop pool was amazing. The afternoon tea was the cutest thing. Honestly, could not fault this hotel! I didn't like that I had to leave!
- Charlotte (7/5): -
- Carolyn (9/5): - Clean, close to main attractions, friendly staff Couldn’t buy wine by the glass at happy hour
- Delphine (8/5): Hôtel rempli de charme - La proximité de tout, l’amabilité du personnel et le charme de l’hôtel La literie peu confortable
Le petit déjeuner
- Robyn (8/5): Lovely. I would stay at the hotel again - Loved the location ,great pool and public areas. The staff were very friendly. I was able to store luggage and have a shower prior to flying home
The after tea was a real treat and great cocktails A few problems with the air con due to turning off.
Staff were helpful when I raised this issue.
- Laura (8/5): Convenient and clean. - Location and the staff were so kind!
Excellent sound proofing to the outside. The hotel echos so you can hear the room above you and beside you walking around.
- martin (8/5): - Pool area was good, and afternoon tea was a nice touch. The air conditioning in our room was not good
- ANH (9/5): -
- Lance (10/5): Absolutely fantastic!!! - Friendly staff, great accomodation and very central Just one morning, the juice was extremely bitter. We raised this but nothing was done to fix it. That was all
- jf (5/5): - Ne correspond pas au descriptif
Annonce une suite et c'est une chambre 3 étoiles au maximum Annonce mensongère et pratique un taux de change -10 % alors que le SOFITEL est correct
Mais tout se fait avec le sourire
- Stephen (8/5): A good base in district 1 - It’s a unique hotel. It has charm and good facilities No hot water on one morning. Some seedy things in the area.

- Chamara (3/5): -
- JENACHABY (6/5): Un séjour sympas mais sans plus - La proximité de l’hôtel en plein cœur de ville . Petit déjeuner peu variés et l’équipement de la chambre.
- Elisabeth (9/5): -
- Steve (10/5): As above. Could not say a negative thing about the property or the staff. - Everything. Staff were fantastic, from management to the front desk. Buffet breakfast daily was great. There was nothing not to like.
- K.Law (10/5): - Beautiful room and amazing breakfast
- Melinda (9/5): Excellent location and exceptional staff - Au Lac Charner is in an excellent location, very central to main attractions and markets. The staff were exceptional, in particular Daisy and Wendy on the front desk. My son had a medical incident while holidaying in Vietnam and we had to extend our stay. Daisy went above and beyond to help us during this stressful time and was very caring and kind. Could not fault the service. At times we could hear the surrounding music late at night, however being in such a central location this was to be expected.
- Alexey (8/5): -
- Michaela (8/5): Ein schönes Hotel mitten in Distrikt 1 mit tollem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Zentrale Lage Nichts
- audrey (9/5): - Hotel très bien.placé, avec des chambres spacieuses et bien entretenues- la piscine en rooftop et la vue sur la ville sont vraiment top - le personnel est attentif et prévenant - assez calme- le petit dejeuner est très bien, beaucoup de choix ( dont local ) et frais - ils ont gardé nos valises durant notre séjour dans le Nord. C''est le meilleur des hôtels qu'on a fait au vietnam , on l'a d'ailleurs rebooké lors de notre retour d'Ha Noi . Rien
- Elisha (4/5): Choose elsewhere - Management refused to give us our cash change from minibar purchase at checkout because they wanted to charge us for the room card keys (which we left in the rooms) basically holding the cash to ransom, can’t say I have ever been charged for a room card key before, we had a two room booking and left them with our change after repeatedly asking for is back as car was waiting outside to airport
The pictures do not match the rooms, the pictures are way newer and nicer, some rooms have a smell, they don’t close the doors of vacant rooms for this reason but they did upgrade our room for this reason
The reception area is lovely but it goes downhill from there, the front is made to look impressive
The pool area is sub par and also is nothing nothing like the glossy pics provided
The breakfast is below average
Great location
All other staff aside from money incident were lovely
- Tammy (2/5): Terrible, never again - Housekeeping staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. This was my 3rd stay since September 2023, the property seemed dated and worn. The afternoon tea has been scaled back, we only bothered once, it was halfway through the service, food was scarce and not replenished. When I requested a later check out I was surprised to be charged half the room rate for a few hours. The biggest issue was the showers, late on the first night, stone cold, got up early for a walk, still cold. We advised reception and it was hot on our return, next day ok. Last day and when we were being charged a ridiculous amount for a late check out the water was barely tepid. A staff member attended my room, agreed it was barely tepid and apologised. I had already requested a reduction in the late check out fee of which they refused and offered a Grab to the airport. I think the worst part was reception gaslighting me on checkout stating the Grab was goodwill and that they tested the water everyday and it was consistently 55 degrees. This couldn't have been further from the truth, they do not value or treat repeat customers well at all. If having a shower is important to you, this isn't the place for you.
- Ralph (10/5): - Staff was amazing, Mr. Kent made our stay very enjoyable and helped us with all our needs. Hotel location is good.
- Tanzina (10/5): - Very beautiful, friendly staff, very clean and great location ❤️

- Stecher (9/5): - Top Lage, top Hotel👍 Mal was anderes mit der Dusche aufdem Balkon😊👍
- Scheer (8/5): Ideal hotel for city center - The hotel is well located within a few minutes walk from the Opera. However you can enjoy the streetlife of Vietnam with the local restaurants, coffee shops and streetfood. The hotel has a nice style, our room was big and confortable. The staff were kind and helpful (organisation excursions, taxis, recommandation restaurants, etc). If you have time and if you like it, take a massage in the hotel spa. We really appreciated it. The breakfast was great with lot of choice. n/a
- Yumiko (9/5): -
- RENATA (8/5): Parfait pour une nuit - Le personnel RAS
- Mary (10/5): Extremely friendly staff, good size rooms (well ours was). Good amenities and Mr Kent and his staff did every they could - The property was in a great location, very friendly staff, good facilities especially for a hotel located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh eg swimming pool for cooling off after a day’s tour.
Mr Kent was extremely helpful and assisted with transfers etc. Nothing!
- Lorette (10/5): - Excellent location, breakfast, afternoon tea & friendly staff Front entrance, the steps are too high. It would be better to have a lift from ground to the reception area especially elderly people with knee problems. Need to work on that.
- Nicholas (10/5): - This hotel was charming and beautiful with very nice facilities and the friendliest staff. Loved the breakfast and afternoon tea which were both exceptional. The fried bananas were my favorite daily ritual. The rooms were excellent and I had one with a balcony shower which was really nice. The pool was gorgeous and hardly busy when we stayed. The beds were comfortable and the rooms a good size, very good value for money and in an excellent location. Would stay here again without hesitation.

- THUY (10/5): - Stayed at Au Lac with my husband and two young kids, and we had a great experience. The team was incredibly friendly, and a special thank you to Kent (the manager) who was helpful even before we arrived, sorting transport and guest services made everything seamless. The hotel is clean, and the location is perfect, especially for families with young kids who don’t want to walk far. Really appreciate the hospitality, thank you Kent!
