GRAND HOTEL du LAC Boutique Saigon
The room was clean and welcoming. We arrived at 2am and staff were there waiting for us to check in which was great. However I was a bit disappointed by the amenities in the room. Some of the toiletries were at an additional cost which was surprising for this type of hotel. You cannot beat this location ...
