Third (Happy & Satisfied) Stay at The Alcove - and Counting)”
This was my third stay at the Alcove out of a total of about 10 trips to HCMC over the past few years. As stated in my previous reviews, I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was lovely and delicious, and the staff polite, friendly, and helpful. As a bibliophile, I love the library at the Alcove. It made me feel at home (I have a larger library at home) as I could browse and select a couple for my reading. Many of the books were contributed by previous guests and , on this trip, I started a new habit that I proclaimed in my previous review. I would contribute a book to the Alcove's Library each time I visited. So, I brought three books (to make up for my first two trips). I will be visiting again next week and, quite possibly the following month. In my heart, I'm hoping for many more.

My Second Experience at The Alcove Library”
My first experience at The Alcove Library Hotel, HCMC, was in 2017 and it was not easy for me to get a room there. As a business traveller, my dates are not always within my control and The Alcove is usually quite heavily booked. My second experience was in July 2019 and this rather long break was due to the non-availability of dates at the Alcove. I have written a review of my highly satisfactory First Experience and even a Preview of my Second Experience a few days prior to my arrival. In this preview, I voiced my confidence that my fond memories will be reinforced by the same standards of facilities and services. I am pleased to say that all my expectations were met. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable with good fluffy pillows. I rested and slept well. Breakfast was delicious as always and all the staff were polite and helpful. And I did find out that some of the books were left by previous guests. I shall remember to do the same on my next trip. Thank you!

Swanky hidden gem that's great value for money”
Hidden in a quiet back street away from the bustle of the city, the rooms are very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and well meaning. They provided turnover service but didn't lock the door. Otherwise really nice. Breakfast is priced a little high, but there are local options down the street. The location is a little away from the center, but perfect for those needing quick access to the airport. All in all I still highly recommend this hotel and stay there for business trips each time I come.

Cool place, between riverside and airport”
The Alcove Library is a very nice hotel, cool concept in reception - the pictures show, bookshelves to ceiling loaded with good books, old books, whatever. The rooms are fine, comfortable bed, A/C that works, wifi that works... clean and well organized. Worth the money, which was quite reasonable.

Excellent”
Beautiful boutique hotel. Well taken care of. Clean, soft bed wonderful pillows, room is warmly decorated. Downside, not much to buy or eat in the area. Close to airport just 15k. Side street is quiet. Make sure you don't end up in the room with Windows opening to lobby. You won't be able to tell day or night.

Very good”
Nice quiet theme boutique hotel. Location behind quiet alley. Downside not much to be had in the area. Few food offerings. Cheapest room has window opening to an air well. You practically won't know if it's day or night. Slippers not resealed. I wonder if they change it after every guest.

Pleasant stay”
We are book lovers and this hotel caught out eyes because it has a mini library. It is close to the airport. We had traveled from da nang to ho chiminh and because we reached pass midnight, it was perfect for us. The staff were pleasant and kind to us. We moved to another hotel to get a more centralised location in hi chi Minh. Our night stay there was pleasant and we spent the morning reading

Overall, hotel was decent, nice theme and design. Room was clean and okay. Location is okay, but not great, as not much restaurant choices around walking distances. Wifi was okay. Breakfast was simple, okay, and can be improved.

Ok location but service is not up to expectation”
Room quite ok , clean and good location, however: 1/ The air condition sound pretty loud when run, especially at night, it's a real annoying 2/ We don't clearly remember if we book a room with breakfast, however, at night, the staff give us a card with information about the breakfast without any clear information, so we turn up for breakfast. Then they charge us extra for that breakfast. 3/ The restaurant is quite expensive comparing to nearby food. 4/ The fridge is really small and no more space to put anything of our own stuffs in it. 5/ The lift take way to long if we want to go up and down. 6/ Internet also really bad, we have to use our own 4g if we want to do anything.

Disappointed ”
I need separate check in with my family and contacted through live web chat but no one responded. However email communication was smooth and well prepared. After checked in room was too hot and air-condition did not work. And changed to other room and TV did not work. I didn't tell anymore. Breakfast was good. It had many selections and staff are good.

Fave boutique hotel”
I don't usually write reviews but The Alcove Library Hotel deserves a few words. This is by far my favorite boutique hotel to date. The staff was very accommodating, helpful and informative from our first to our last day in Ho Chi Minh city. The architecture and interiors stick to its theme. The breakfast food was great too. Also, I didn't expect that we'll get that much space plus a pantry with utensils! Good job, The Alcove!

Slice of heaven in busy Ho Chi Minh”
My wife and I stayed at the Alcove Library for two nights a few days ago. The staff were very welcoming and helpful! The restaurant was the best we have been to in Ho Chi Minh, the complementary breakfast was excellent! Quiet little patio up top, best coffee and banana pancakes! We will recommend to family and friends who travel to Saigon in the future! The hotel is about a 10 min cab from the busy district one.
