When in Ho Chi Minh City recently I enjoyed my stay in a Premium Room. I was impressed with the exposed timber floor and original Vietnamese decor, including prints of historic buildings and street scenes in Ho Chi Minh City. I liked the little touches like the welcome bowl of fresh fruit and the fresh flowers on the bed, tables and in the bathroom.
There was plenty of room to move in the 38 square metres which had stylish areas for meeting, working, and sleeping. A comfy lounge chair, cushion and ottoman provided a place to relax, and a desk and chair provided a place to work.
A restful nights sleep was had on a high-quality mattress on the king bed. The pillow on the bed suited me well, so I did not need to choose one of the other ones on the pillow menu. There were bedside tables & lamps and a bedside control panel which was convenient for switching things off when in bed at night.
The large flat screen TV offered free to air, cable and movie channels. Free wireless internet access was fast so enabled me to browse the internet and send emails from my laptop
There was a well stocked mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities. The room had good air conditioning which made the room comfortable to be in.
The large marble bathroom had a good shower, bath and toilet. A hair dryer and slippers and a good range of quality toiletries were provided.

Wonderful views overlooking the city are city can be had while sipping a drink on the Rooftop Garden. It is open 24 hours a day, and the view looks especially good at sunset.

| The Hoa Mai Restaurant |
I enjoyed my buffet breakfasts each day in the elegant setting of the Ho Mai restaurant with its decorative gold leaf ceiling and light fittings. There was a good range of hot and cold dishes, cereals, fruits and pastries. Egg and noodle stations cooked your requests on the spot. The staff were friendly and professional in serving.
Lunch and dinner dining in the Ho Mai restaurant provides the finest Vietnamese cuisine and other Asian dishes while experiencing traditional folk music and dance shows.
The Paradise Coffee Lounge, located on the ground floor, is the ideal meeting place for a relaxed coffee, afternoon tea or business meetings. There is comfortable seating and daily live background piano music to enjoy.
