My stay at Hotel Continental Saigon was quite enjoyable, marked by its historic charm and prime location across from the Opera House. The staff were friendly and accommodating, though communication sometimes posed a challenge. The breakfast selection was decent but lacked variety, and the facilities, while comfortable, could benefit from some updates.

I stayed in the Opera View Suite, which was spacious but a bit dated. The high ceilings and large area were very impressive, yet the bathroom could use some improvements, such as a better shower setup. Plus, the slipper situation was not the most comfortable.

The hotel offers various services including dry cleaning and room service, which added to my convenience. However, the internet speed could be better, especially with the number of teenagers using it outside.

I recently stayed at Hotel Continental Saigon, and my experience was quite mixed. The hotel boasts an impressive colonial style and is steeped in history, which I admired. However, I faced several issues during my stay that detracted from the overall experience. While the location is superb, right opposite the Opera House, the service left much to be desired. I had hoped for a more nice stay.

I booked the Opera View Suite, and while the room was spacious, it felt outdated. The bed arrangement and lack of power sockets were frustrating, and the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool.

Breakfast was disappointing, lacking variety and flavor. I had expected more from a hotel of this caliber, especially given its historical significance.

The fitness center was underwhelming, with outdated equipment that didn't function properly. It's a shame, as I was looking forward to using those amenities.

My stay at Hotel Continental Saigon was quite a mix. The history and charm of this old-style hotel offered an experience unlike many modern places, and the staff really tried to keep me happy. However, there were definitely some areas for improvement, particularly with the bathroom facilities and some of the service aspects. Still, the location right across from the iconic Opera House was fantastic.

Rooms

I had an Opera View room, which was spacious with high ceilings, but the shower over the bath could use better water pressure. Some furnishings felt outdated, like the bath decor and the lack of comfy seating in the room.

Service

8.0

The reception staff were genuinely friendly and eager to help. They really exceeded my expectations when it came to booking restaurants and making me feel welcomed, though some other staff seemed a bit shy or unsure.

Location

The hotel's location couldn't be beaten—right in the city center across from the Opera House! It made getting to nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops super convenient.

Dining

Breakfast was decent, and I enjoyed the selection in the courtyard. It was nice to sit among trees that have been there since the 1800s, though I did miss some items like cold milk for cereal at first.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were a bit of a letdown; I noticed that the gym looked run down, and some areas in the hotel definitely needed renovation. It felt like a charm point but also a bit neglected, especially for a place with Deluxe pricing.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Hotel Continental Saigon. The location is fantastic, right in the city center and close to the iconic Opera House. While my room had a charming old-world feel and a wonderful view, I found it to be musty and lacking in modern comforts. The breakfast buffet, however, was a highlight, with fresh and diverse options that I truly enjoyed.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had high ceilings and an elegant design, but it was musty and noisy. I had to request a room change due to inadequate AC. The corner room I was moved to was cleaner and more spacious.

The location is unbeatable, right in front of the Opera House in the heart of the city. It's convenient for exploring the main attractions and there are great restaurants nearby.

The hotel offers expected services like room service and laundry, but I found the shower water pressure lacking. However, the charm of the heritage hotel compensates for some of the modern amenities it may lack.
