My wife and I recently undertook a fully escorted holiday to Vietnam and on flying in to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) at the start of our holiday, we spent a couple of nights at the Le Duy Grand Hotel.
We were greeted by polite and enthusiastic staff, our room was large, well ordered and very clean, we both enjoyed good nights` sleep on both nights of our stay, and breakfast was varied and plentiful.
There was a swimming pool at the very front (ground floor front/ roadway level) but we did not get time to use it as our couple of days in Ho Chi Minh City were spent exploring the City.
Throughout our stay at this hotel the staff remained polite and attentive and the front desk staff were very knowldgable about local sights and ways to get to them.
All in all our holiday started very well, the hotel was excellent but on a downside we did,
I have to say, find the level of traffic (mopeds and motorbikes) in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) quite `mindboggling`, Ho Chi Minh City is obviously a very large City with an absolute plethora of mopeds and motorbikes... my wife and I were also, on a number of occasions, quite `boggled` by the absence/ lack of road rules on the part of vehicles (including mopeds, motorbikes, cars and trucks) using the City`s roads !
We did however enjoy this hotel at the start of our trip and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to other travellers. :-)
