Happy Life Grand Hotel & Rooftop Skybar

This hotel is such a great place to stay if you’re visiting HCM city! Really clean rooms and are quite big, best part is it’s right in the Center of the city! The staff are literally your family here, they would go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and unforgettable as it gets! Jade, Daisy and Sunshine were always on their toes to give us the very best service possible!!!! All their staff are amazing. They have looked after us so well! So loving and passionate about their jobs! Breakfast is such a great variety which changes daily and can be said that it’s prepared whole-heartedly! Loved it! There we’re literally ZERO issues with our stay here and we’re really missing the amazing and exuberant team that manages this really amazing hotel. No regrets at all! Just great memories!

Great location, rooftop bar and breakfast buffet. The staff were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful. The bed was enormous and really comfortable. Also great value for money.

The hotel is in a great location in District 1, just a few mins walk to Ben Thanh market and close to Walking street etc. we actually walked everywhere - war museum, cafe apartments, book street so very convenient. Loved the fact we could have a quick swim after a day of sightseeing and the roof bar was really nice with happy hour cocktails 5-8 each day. On our last day we were leaving for the airport just as breakfast started and they were so lovely to let us arrive for breakfast 15 mins early. Very accommodating staff, especially loved the chef cooking eggs in the morning - so lovely!

Amazing couple days at this hotel for our first ever experience of Saigon. The staff are amazing, they even recognised it was my husbands birthday on our second day (photocopy of the passports) and came to the room singing with a hand written card and cake for 1. The breakfast was simply lush with a huge variety which we was not expecting. The sky bar is nice with a western price tag, if you want western comfort drink there if not I recommend plonking down on any sidewalk with plastic chairs for a beer which costs less than a £1. The location is amazing, 10 mins walk to Ben than market, surrounded by authentic eateries with plastic chairs and tables on the side walks. Would defo recommend steak and Eggs at Bo Ne a couple of minutes walk away which is a family run cafe. The hotel is only a short distance from the post office, Opera House and Cathedral however do get a grab which is only a £1 or £2, the heat is something else, do what the locals do, grab it rather than walk it. I'd also recommend visiting the market to purchase in the afternoon, it's a hard sell in the morning especially if you are the first customer, the price dictates the luck for the rest of the day for the owner so trying to barter is very hard and you could come across as rude unintentionally. We also tried Nora's Spa a few doors down, it does seem more expensive compared to most but it was worth it, lets face it, £25 for a two hour body massage is nothing to complain about, all I would say, if you are a wuss like me definitely ask for a soft massage because it bloody hurts but also essential after a busy few days of travel and seeing the city.

Great location, very friendly staff. Our room was rather small but not complaining for that price!
