A Genuine Five-Star Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City


Not a bad interior, I thought, when I first lugged my luggage into this room. I will take a nice rest here before my departure. Soothing colors, tasteful pictures -yes! I can sleep well.
The phone and everything are working well- good! Now I will go to the restaurants to explore a bit.

Rather pricey food they have here. Buffets at its cheaper restaurant on the ground flloor - but they come with reasonably good wines. So I'll take that.
In the night, after my last appointment, I stepped into the lobby and it began to pour in torrents. Phew! I like the view of such monsoons, when I am cozy indoors.

I'm happy with the amount of Viet food that I've had and so ordered a Club Sandwich for a change. I wonder if it'd be like the one I had in the "five-star" pub up in the north. What a surprise! Pleasing taste, colors, texture and fragrance. Great bordeaux too.

The lunch buffet that I had in the day had fresh seafood and salads as well.

After the night I plan to swim in the morning. The pool is of a decent size compared to the other hotel that's located in District 5. I'll come back to this for the peace, soothing colors, good food, and the smaller tourist crowd -service aside. I must add, though, the price-tag is a little higher.
