Lief Pulo Saigon

Like the whole of Saigon, the Lief Pulo will be wonderful when it's finished. On the plus side, the staff were lovely, exemplifying everything that is special about the Vietnamese people. The rooms were fine and very good value for money. The location is good, although be ready for taxis to be unable to find it (even with Google maps). We had to struggle to be allowed to use the swimming pool (work in progress - see photo), and the rooftop bar was closed throughout our stay. But for a budget boutique hotel it would be hard to beat. A great stay!

Great place in a quiet location with good staff. Rooftop is awesome. Wifi in some rooms is not good and the price is creeping up.

Twice now in 3 months and will be back!

Good location, very decent sized room with character and a great view - we could even see the Bitexco tower. My only negatives are that the breakfast is a little limited with a few to order items and some toast, fruit (which wasn’t refilled so we only had watermelon) and 2 pastry options and our room was also not cleaned on one day as as we left around mid-day. However, the the staff are friendly and helpful and speak great English. Additionally, the WiFi is excellent.

Pros: Nice design concept, quiet neighborhood, very friendly and helpful hotel stuff, very comfortable beds (which is rarity in Vietnam) / Cons: In the first room in which we stayed, the wall paper was falling off the walls (humidity problem), the ceiling was covered with dirt spots, the electricity did not work properly, and the air con smelled like the filter had not be cleaned in ages. After the first room, we changed to a second room, which was marginally better (at least the electricity worked), but the general state of the room was similar. Furthermore, the hotel is in urgent need of deep cleaning. Floors dirty + the elevator was covered with human grease marks all over, as if no one had bothered to clean it in a month.

Comfortable rooms, quiet location, nice staff. I would stay here again.

The best view of Ho Chi Minh city on the bar patio. The staff are very friendly and accomemidating. The breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning. A little bit outside the city but a easy cab ride to city center.

Nice place and location

The hotel was great! It was quirky (in a good way) and had great personality. The roof bar area was awesome! It was a bit out of the way from the hustle and bustle of HCMC - which was good for noise but made it a taxi ride to anything. All in all a great, albeit brief, stay.

Nice place to stay
