First Impression
Mai House Saigon is located in District 3 in Ho Chi Minh City, some 20 minutes away from the airport. As we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed by the bellboys, and were ushered into our check-in area. I was in awe to see the interior design of Mai House Saigon. Everything is very plush and luxurious, and it feels like a shooting set in a French film.
There is a huge spiral stair case that leads to the all-day-dining restaurant, and a very grand chandelier in the middle as well. Right beside the spiral stairs is a piano, and if you are lucky, you can spot someone playing it. There is also a bar, as well as a lounge area in the lobby.
Check in was a breeze, and soon we are given our room keys. Before heading to our room though, we were served a welcome drink – perfect for the hot and humid weather of Ho Chi Minh City.
We find the corridors of Mai House Saigon to be very picturesque too.
Premier King Room
Our room is the Premier King Room, and it is about 34M2. We find the room to be spacious enough for a few nights’ stay, and we especially liked the design and outlay of our room. As we enter the room, there is a luggage area for us to put our luggage.
There is also a working desk by the window.
We also enjoyed the abundance of TV Channels available.
The bed was a good fit for the 2 of us, and were super comfy. We had a very delightful sleep throughout our stay at Mai House Saigon.
The bedroom might look and sound impressive, but both of us unanimously agreed that the bathroom was the most unique part of our room. The French-Indochinese design was very creative and one-of-a-kind, and we also liked the intimacy part where it is see through from the bedroom.
A complete set of luxury toiletries is provided, and replenished daily. Bathroom and toilet are also separated. The bath tub is definitely big enough for 2 person to enjoy comfortably.
Overall, we find our room to be spacious, luxurious and comfortable. We also had some nice views of Ho Chi Minh City through our window.
