좋은 호텔

1,7군만 고집해서 가는지 잘모를정도로 5군에 최고의 호텔입니다. 주변 맛집,야시장도 가깝게 있고 너무 좋습니다. 수영장도 크고 직원들도 친절하고...단 수영장에 근무하는 직원들은 친절하지 않아요!(장난안치고 수영만 하면 뭐라 하지는 않은거 같고요)

10/10 Exceptional

good hotel, great staff.

We had a great stay at the Equatorial. We had kids also and the staff was friendly and helpful (sadly this is not the norm at all 5-star properties in Vietnam, so it was a nice experience). The pool is great, I would recommend a room by the pool. The food was also very food (slightly pricy compared to alternatives, but comparable). I would recommend this hotel as great option for visiting HCMC.

Do Not Recommend this hotel

Stains on pillow, bed was very soft and sunken in, aircon not cold, balcony was dirty . Overall not a good experience and unpleasant stay.
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Too many tourists

I'm not trying to be racist or put down anybody from a different country, but the number of Chinese with their poor behavior just killed everything positive about this hotel. I stayed on the non-smoking floor, and the smell of smoke was so bad that it might have been a smoking floor. I'm sure the staff can smell it, but they didn't do a thing about it during my 4 nights there. Had to call the front desk as I could hear these Chinese people yelling and screaming across the hallway with their doors open. Yet it took them an extra 15 minutes to even send anybody. Next time I'm staying at the Nikko Hotel about 5 minutes away. If you have no other choice, make sure to ask if there are any Chinese tour groups nearby when checking in. Sorry to say, but they'll ruin everything good about the hotel and your stay.

The hotel is beautiful, so clean, staff so helpful they cant do enough for you. The food (i am vegan) is so delicious. The hotel is a short taxi ride to all the main tourist landmarks. I love this hotel, the staff are the most attentive, kind and genuinely want to make your stay lovely. PLus they have a great outdoor pool !

Nice hotel!

Good service, well maintained and comfortable hotel. The only thing I feel that the hotel should do is to upgrade the wardrobe closet which is dated. Do not mind staying again in the future.
LIM, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Buffet breakfast was mostly Indian food, catered to Indian guests. Service was mediocre. Non smoking hotel but it’s obvious the floor we stayed in smelled of cigarettes and as soon as we exit the hotel it smelled of cigarettes. We will not return
