Here’s a more relaxed and personal second review version:
We enjoyed our first stay here so much that we actually came back to Saigon 9 Rivergate for a few final days to unwind before flying back to the UK after travelling around Vietnam.
This time our host was Nolan’s brother, Scott, who was incredibly friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. He helped us with our luggage when we arrived and genuinely asked how the rest of our trip had been, which was a really nice personal touch after a long journey back into Ho Chi Minh City.
The apartment was once again spotless, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing before a long flight home. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, the shower pressure was excellent, and having the kitchen, fridge freezer, and nearby shops downstairs made everything really convenient.
We also used the pool this time and the process was super simple. Access was sorted quickly through a short text message and everything was smooth and hassle-free.
The modern smart TVs with Netflix built in were also great for chilled evenings after weeks of travelling around the country.
Overall, another fantastic stay. The combination of the location, comfort, security, and genuinely welcoming hosts made it somewhere we were very happy to return to.
We had a brilliant stay at Rivergate Saigon 9 hosted by Nolan. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, easy, and completely hassle-free from start to finish.
For the price, the apartment was excellent and exceeded expectations. After walking around Ho Chi Minh City in the heat, the air conditioning worked perfectly and made coming back to the apartment incredibly comfortable. The shower pressure was also fantastic, which was very appreciated after long days out in Saigon.
The apartment itself was clean, modern, and very well equipped. Having a full kitchen with a fridge freezer was extremely convenient, especially for longer stays. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, mugs, chopsticks, forks, knives, and other essentials. The inclusion of travel extension ports was also a thoughtful touch that made things easier for international travellers.
The modern smart TVs with Netflix built in were another great addition and perfect for relaxing in the evenings after busy days sightseeing and photographing around the area.
The security around the building made us feel very safe throughout our stay, and having shops, food, drinks, and fresh fruit available right at the base of the building was incredibly convenient.
The location was excellent as well, just a short Grab ride or even a manageable walk into the centre.
Overall, a fantastic stay and somewhere I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
The host contacted me once I have confirmed the booking. She is very nice,helpful and responsive. She even gave me the red packet on the first day which surprise me a lot.
My family stayed 3 nights at there. The flat is big, face to the river,beautiful view especially when the sun raise.Well-equipped,Netflix provided.
The place is located next to the Mong Bridge, walkable distance(round 10 min) to the Bitexco Financial Tower.
Nice!
