The New World Hotel Saigon is listed as a five star property but is probably in reality a good four star hotel. However, don't let that put you off, as this hotel has a lot going for it, not least its location in the hub of Saigon.
From the front door of the hotel, good shopping is within 7 minutes walk and the famous Ben Thanh market can be reached inside 10 minutes.
The hotel puts on a great breakfast, and I couldn't help but notice that there was champagne available for those who like a tipple of the bubbly at the early hours of the day.
The staff are professional and very helpful, and the standard of English of all on the front desks of the hotel is very good.
Overall, I give this hotel high marks for presentation, cleaniness, efficiency and friendly and professional staff.
The only con I could add is that the sun lounges around the swimming pool on the second floor are badly in need of replacement as most of the covers are cracked and some had holes in them.
Location, right in the engine room of Saigon. Park opposite, Ben Thanh market 10 minutes walk. Good shopping within the immediate precinct and more options only a short taxi ride from the hotel
The sun deck chairs in the pool area badly need replacing. The covers are split and some are torn. Not a good look for a hotel presenting itself as a five star property.
- Hotel Feature Tip : As mentioned there is champagne available for breakfast. I don't think I have seen this offered gratis in any hotel that I have stayed at over the years.

For the $US 3,500 we spent on staying there for 17 days, we could have had a nicer suite at another establishment instead of the small "deluxe" bedroom.

The ground floor cafetaria menu is limited although the buffer spread offers a good, wide selection. Trouble is that a number of items are repeated every night.
Not the right value for the price

It is close to the night market.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Not far from Notre Dame/post office and good nightlife around.

General impression of the hotel is the ambience and the politeness of the staff. However, the lack of facilities, especially for children, make it less attractive for travellers with kids.

Really recommended (typical) Chinese restaurant near the hotel (10-minutes walk):
Huy Long Vien (99 Nguyen Du, Q1).
They serve almost 30 types of Dim Sum all day long, among other delicious dishes.
