Wondreful service and great location to many place”

we took 2 rooms for 3 night. my wife, 3yr old daughter and i stay in the hoang hai long hotel for our 10th wedding anniversary vacation on 31 march. my brother and his wife stayed in another room to celebrate his birthday on 1st april. the location was perfect! it is centrally located in district 1 area, where the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. the suite room was generally nice and quiet as i had the room not facing the main road, it also had a jacuzzi in our bathroom. the deco was simple and nice. the bed in the suite room excellent, we had a wonderful sleep. the staffs were nice and helpful even the manager was a great guy to talk. there is a travel desk where its convenient to book all tours. overall i had a great holiday staying in ho chi minh city. one of the best hotels to recommend in terms of value, service quality and location. must stay and try

Great Location and hospitality”

This hotel truly lived up to and beyond our expectations. First of all the location of this hotel is right in the heart of District 1. If you are into souvenir shopping then Ben Thanh Market is just a 5 min walk away. All of the city's attractions like Notre Dam, Reunification Palace and War Museum are 10-15 mins by taxi from the hotel. Their travel desk is friendly and will help you plan trips outside of the city. However we had one bad experience in Ho Chi Minh City when we were robbed of our bag with passport, cash and credit cards on a day trip in the city. Kudos to the hotel management for being very understanding and accommodating and allowing us to stay on till we could get some cash arranged to get our documents back and leave the country. They were always there to ask about our progress and even accompanied us to the police station to file a report. A big thank you to all the management staff!

True Value for Money and more”

I came to Ho Chi Minh with a little knowledge about the city, but Quinneth Layba from the reception had welcome me with warmth and explain to me what to do. I had a tour of the hotel and feeling VIP of the service I had from Ms Layba. The staffs are friendly from the reception, dining area and the spa club. The staffs are the best asset of this hotel because they talk to you in the very friendly manner and gives you the best idea on how to spend your money wisely. The spa treatment I had was one of the best I had experience, I felt someone special. The massage is really good. The breakfast buffet is something that I didn't expect to be that good. The variety of it's food from western to asian cuisine I can say very good for a 3 star hotel. I suggest that the hotel should expand their dinning area because guest stayed longer because of it's great food so getting table is a bit of a problem. The location is centrally located in the common attractions of the city. I visited a lot of museums and attractions just by walking. My overall experience of the city was very pleasant and it is all because of this hotel and it's staffs. Please maintain and improve more the service you deliver to your guest. Best of luck

Hotel of choice when in Ho Chi Minh City”

We booked 2 rooms at their new wing and was impressed with its cleanliness and nice deco with full facilities. Extremely suitable for us lady travellers. Its quite central to day/night markets, shopping, tourist attractions and restaurants. Free access to internet at dining area was good. Reputable taxis available in front of hotel is very convenient and fares are reasonable as they charge according to meter so we are assured that we won't be over-charged. Breakfast menu is quite the same everyday so would have preferred a more varied menu especially for long stays. When planning flight home, bear in mind that check-out time is at 12pm and late check-out may not be possible, which is inconvenient as our flight home was late evening. Also there was no luggage room, after check-out our main luggage had to be put at the lobby till we leave for the airport late afternoon. So we had to carry our hand luggage/fragile items around with us for the rest of the afternoon if we go out which was inconvenient and we could not freshen up properly (necessary as its very hot in HCMC) before leaving. Must plan for earlier flight next time. Overall, hotel is highly recommended for stay in Ho Chi Minh City. Hope it maintains its quality till our next trip!

Can't beat the location or rooftop oasis”

Kudos to Long who is an amazing employee & helped us with his personal list of "must sees" for the area. Owen & Dave also are fantastic at the rooftop bar. All 3 work their butts off day in & day out, they are friendly & always greet us. Kevin at the tour desk & Taylor at reception are two more valued employees. All of these employees make the Alagon Central the place to stay. We loved staying at the Alagon & will again. The beds are comfy & clean. Breakfast is awesome with lots of good choices. Love the pool & jacuzzi. Happy hour is fantastic. Snacks are good too. Had a massage which was great. Everyone at the Alagon is helpful, friendly & makes you feel like your family. You can't beat the location & it's just out of the backpacker area so you don't get the crazy music till all hours of the night. It's my hotel in Ho Chi Mien! Thank you everyone for such a great stay - Coco & Tom

Great Location, very small room”

I was visiting Ho Chi Minh City for the Christmas holiday, and found the Hoang Hai Long Hotel to be a very pleasant hotel. The hotel is very well kept, clean, with a very friendly staff. The breakfast was the standard mix of Asian and Western fare. The room service, however, was a much more eclectic mix which was very pleasing, especially for an attack of the late night munchies!! Through the front desk I was able to rent a motorbike to get around the city for a fare rate (although it would have been cheaper to go outside of the hotel to rent a motorbike, the convenience of using the hotel was well worth the extra money). My only complaint about the hotel would be the size of the room. I had booked a "Deluxe" room, but the reality was that the room size was one of the smallest I have stayed in during my time here in southeast Asia. However, since my time was not spent in my hotel room, this minor inconvenience does not overshadow the many positives of this hotel.

Good services and hospitality”

Its location to good food and shopping at nearby Ben Thanh Market and in District 1 is a good advantage.Your staff provide good services and hospitality and the breakfast provide a taste of Vietnamese food to foreign visitors and guest. It is also memorable for me as I found a Hand Phone ( I pass it back to your management)in the safe deposit box . I hope the previous guess will receive the Hand Phone from your management as it might have important information and memories for his stay in Vietnam. As a frequent Traveller to Ho Chi Minh City I hope I can get a special Discount from your hotel so I can be your special guest.Thank you

Nice hotel, Good value for money”

The hotel is found in District 1, which is the center of Ho Chi Minh City. The deluxe rooms are reasonable comfy for a good night's rest and you can wake up to enjoy a hearty breakfast featuring some Vietnamese food choices. The service is superb, the staff show genuine concern when you ask them questions about the city/tours. You can leave your bags with the hotel if your flight is late night and you don't want to book another night.

Exceptional Service, Awesome Breakfast!!”

Alagon Central offers very warm and friendly service from front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, restaurant etc. Their staffs were exceptional in helping with directions, calling for cabs etc. My room was clean, without windows (ok for me), a bit outdated, quiet, comfortable to sleep. Good enough for me as we were out for tours and sightseeing during daytime. Breakfast was outstanding, wide spread, again good service, tasty food. Aromatherapy spa was nice (included in package). For the promo price I paid, it was really value for money. It would be perfect if there are more facilities (bigger pool, live band). Highly recommended to anyone wants to stay at centrally located Dist 1. Special thank you for the front door staff (really sorry I forgot your name) for helping me retrieve my room key from the lift during check out. All of you deserve a pay rise and bonus from Alagon management!

4 to 7 Sept 2009”

This is my best hotel i ever stayed with such a low budget . It is stragetically located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh city with just 5 to 8mins walk to the Ben Thanh Market. It also provide free Internet Access corner for the hotel guests to surf. Apart from all the above the hotel staffs are very courteous and helpfull with smilling face to welcome us. I will definately recommend my friends or relatives to stay at this hotel if they are going for holiday in Ho Chi Minh without any hesitation. Last but not least, i personally would like to thanks the management & staffs for their teamwork that make my stay a memorable and pleasant one.

Lovely hotel and service with a smile”

The enjoyment of our stay at this hotel commenced with the hotel driver that met us at Ho Chi Minh Airport,he set the tone for our four day stay with his efficient and friendly manner. the hotel staff from reception to bell boys to restaurant staff and bar waiters could not do enough for us,all had a strong customer first attitude towards us.The location of the hotel was in the middle of district 1 and we walked to many local attractions.The rooms were of good size and very well appointed and clean.We immediately booked our last night in Vietnam on return two weeks later.

Great location, friendly staff”

location was great and finding the hotel was not a problem at all considering we did not hire a hotel pick-up since we were arriving at ho chi minh city via bus. upon our arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by the friendly hotel manager and made sure we were escorted to our rooms properly. he was even so nice to suggest a few things to do to enjoy the city and reminded us to take extra care in going around. he also gave us a map and gave us a hotel calling card in case we get lost. breakfast was good. rooms are neat and clean. will definitely stay here again when we go back to hcm.

Great Value for Money”

the hoang hai long hotel in ho chi minh city gives great value for our money. we checked in very late, arriving at the hotel way past midnight, and yet the reception staff were very attentive and helpful. we found our hotel room is quite new, clean and comfortable. my wife and i really enjoyed the hotel's buffet breakfast which included authentic vietnamese food like pho noodles and spring rolls. the hotel location was also very convenient-just a block away from ben than market for shopping and a short walk away from good restaurants. and there is a massage center and spa right at the hotel!

Good Value Hotel”

at a reasonable rate, providing a clean and comfortable deluxe double room, with breakfast included, this is a very good value hotel to stay in ho chi minh city. the location is also great - ben thanh market and major sightseeing spots are all within walking distance from the hotel. but really, the outstanding feature of this hotel has to be the friendly and attentive service of the staff. we would like to thank the assistant general manager, tuan anh, for his kind attention during our stay there and helping with our sightseeing arrangements.

great hotel. good location”

Thank you Agoda, thank you Hoang Hai Long hotel ! Anytime all my friends asking about my memory of Vitnam is Hoang Hai Long Hotel ! The spa massage in first floor is the best quality massage i had ever !! I booked superior hotel, got free up grade to Suites room. I love the cleanliness, location, hotel and room facilities also good breakfast of Hoang Hai Long. 8 mins walk to Ben Thanh market for shopping and the five star hotel and nice night club just opposite of the hotel. The staffs have good courtesy and helpful. Highly recommended hotel in Ho chi Minh !!

Cosy & comfortable Hotel at the heart of the city”

love the room conditions, even though it's small, it has all the necessary requirement for a familty, single or couple travellers. ammenities around the hotel are ok. you have food, shopping, and plenty of things around the hotel area. located right at the center of the city, you can easily move about the city from the hotel. hotel staffs are very pleasant, the place is clean, and comes with wifi, cable tv and etc. recommended for stay if you're in ho chi minh city.

Exceptional”

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. All the staffs are extremely courteous, especially Ms. Ngoc at the front desk, she was very accommodated. I would stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you Alagon.

Great location, nice room”

We stayed at Alagon hotels many times in the past. They have several connected hotels at different price levels but sharing the same kitchen/dining room. The location is very convenient for walking around city center. This time we were upgraded to a Junior Suite at the best hotel Alagon D’Antique Hotels & Spa. We love the classic french colonial design of this hotel. The room is new, elegant, spacious and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast here is probably the best in town. Our room package includes afternoon tea which is nice.

Worth the money”

The hotel was conveniently located. We arrived midnight and the young man at the reception was accommodating, they even welcomed us when we got off the taxi. Buffet breakfast was good but it is almost the same everyday. There's also a free daily cleaning service but we were not informed about it at first so we were surprised when we went back our hotel that everything was cleaned and organized. There's daily complementary water, coffee and tea so that's also a plus points. Our flight was at night so we decided to shop during the day while waiting for our flight and we are delighted that we were allowed to leave our luggage and take a short shower before going to the airport even if we checked out already. The only negative thing I could comment about is that some of the staff were not that friendly and approachable except for the young man who was at the reception when we arrived. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we will book this hotel again if we will go back to Ho Chi Minh.

Decent Hotel”

This hotel, like many Ho Chi Minh accommodations, is okay. Its location is generally close to most downtown attractions and the staff are excellent. Because I am interested in more modern facilities than Alagon Central offers its guests, this hotel is not wholly ideal. The room in which I stayed was fine, but the bothroom needed to be updated. It was very clean; however, I think the shower, lighting, and "spa"-like ambience would be enhanced by 21st-century renovation. The pool is nice save the inadequate seating and issuance of pool passes (one visit per day); that practice is terribly antiquated. The real positive about this hotel is the staff, because they are so friendly and understand how hotel and restaurant management should be done: excellent service. If visitors are not as particular as I am, then this hotel is just fine. Customers will enjoy this hotel for its convenient location, good breakfast, and wonderful staff.
