Great Value for Money”

the somerset ho chi minh city serviced residence is, like the title suggests, not really a hotel. it's three apartment towers, mostly filled with expats. if you consider the price, you get a good deal: big rooms, great staff and good facilities like a large pool, a good stocked mini market, an acceptable gym, breakfast buffet and nice meals at the pool restaurant. it's location is pretty good, only 10 minutes / $1 by cab to the city center. can't really think of negatives, and would recommend it to anyone.

somerset”

we stayed 5 nights at the somerset ho chi minh and were overall very satisfied with our experience. the apartment was very spacious and well laid out. however, it was badly in need of some updating. our apartment was relatively quiet, especially for ho chi minh city. the pool was very nice although we never had time to use it. the staff was very friendly and helpful, especially hoa at the front desk. the only downside to our stay was the quality of the included breakfast. it wasn't bad, however it was definitely inferior to our experiences at several other hotels in vietnam. overall, i would definitely recommend the somerset especially because of the spacious apartments as opposed to small hotel rooms.

Great Stay definitely one of my favourites.”

We had a group of 8 people that stayed in the apartment and it is extremely cheap and great value for money staying together. It is located in district 1 which is centrally located to all great food and attractions. Taxi rides will range from 20,000VND to 100,00VND. Hotel is about 20 minutes from the airport costing around 150,00VND (tell the driver to turn on the meter). Small selection at the buffet breakfast but its still good considering it is free of charge with the room, reception also has a tour guide (buffalo tours) which was very helpful to book flights and tours. Staff are very helpful, friendly and are not bothered when we returned to our room in the early hours of the morning. One of the best stays i have had in ho chi minh considering i have been there 5 times.

Welcome Relief”

Somerset apartments Ho Chi Minh City (8A NguyenBinh Khiem Street, in District 1) are wonderful. Stayed there in a 2 bedroom apartment with my family. From check in through to check out, this place is fantastic. The apartment is so spacious and cheaper or equivalent to much smaller hotel rooms in HCMC. The pool is such a welcome relief at the end of a day wandering around this seriously good and crazy city! Lounging around in the apartment with A/C going is also most welcome. Unless breakfast is included in your apartment rate, give it a miss. Much better options out in the city with french style patisseries, etc. The location is good. Taxi rides everywhere are cheap. Make sure you try and stick to the metered taxis (branded as Mai Linh or Vinasun) or otherwise ensure you negotiate the price with the taxi driver before you get in if you use an unmetered taxi. Staff here are great. They really try hard and do well to please their guests. They speak enough English for communication to be very good. I will definitely return to Somerset apartments if I visit HCMC again and will explore using this serviced apartment chain when travelling with my family to other destinations....quality!

Great Stay”

the apartments that my friends and i stay was awesome. very big rooms and pool. there's gym as well and to those that brought their family the kiddos would enjoy it as well as there is a playroom for the kiddos. we had enjoyed our stay at somerset ho chi minh service residence..

Value for Money”

First time staying at Somerset Ho Chi Minh City Serviced Residence. We have stay a couple a serviced apartment in HCMC, this simply one of the best. We booked for a 2 bedrooms and was given a 3 bedrooms apartment. Playground and Kid swimming pool is just at our door step.

Nice hotel and service with a smile”

My family stayed at the Somerset Ho Chi Minh City Serviced residece for 4 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The apartment had 3 bedrooms and it was just enough for my family. The serviced residence was well equipped and we even could heat up our supper which we bought back. The staff kept the apartment clean and with the spacious living/dining area, our family enjoyed many nights drinking and catching up, what we call family bonding. We will recommend this serviced residence to my friends and will definitely come back again.

Spacious serviced apartments suitable for families”

Somerset is a well run hotel. The apartment is very spacious and well laid out. Washing machine, a kitchen, and a living room are a big bonus for a large family of 6 like ours. A short taxi ride puts us right in the middle of the city, yet we are far enough from all the noise of Ho Chi Minh City traffic. The complex is well maintained and efficiently run. The staff is professional and helpful. The complex also has a small playground for little children and a large, nice swimming pool, that the whole family can dive into when the heat gets unbearable. The hotel can be pricey, charging high American rates for food and snacks, but still, it is a nice find for families with children.

Great accommodation option for Groups”

This is my second stay at Somerset Ho Chi Minh City Serviced Residence... Consistent with the first, this place is extremely value for money and comfortable. Location might not be as central versus other hotels in district 1 but with taxis easily available in the city, this is not a big issue

Family stay at Someset Ho Chi Minh”

We loved the stay at Somerset Ho Chi Minh Serviced Residence. The place is clean and well kept. Though the location is a bit secluded but the taxi services are efficient, so there is no problem to travel to city or anywhere else. Generally we enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back to visit again.

Excellent”

This is fantastic accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City. The apartments are huge with great facilities, modern and extremely clean. There is a nice pool area with jacuzzi. There are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance and we caught a taxi for less than £3 to the market however we did also walk this in around 25 mins. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent serviced apartment.”

This is a good hotel with large apartments. It has all the amenities plus a great pool. The botanical and zoo is right next door. A wonderful park to walk through. The rooms are large and comfortable. I am happy to recommend this hotel to travellers intending to stay a few days in Ho chi Minh city.

the best hotel... worst city taxi”

our stay at somerset ho chi minh city was very good. we had a relaxing time. can be considered home away from home. the kids enjoyed every part of the hotel. had an unfortunate incident with a taxi wherein we were harassed. reported it to the hotel concierge but unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it. but will definitely come back to this hotel.

large comfortable apartment. Excellent service”

I enjoyed the stay in this big apartment. It has all the conveniences and is close to many things of interest here in Ho chi Minh city. It is right night to the lovely park/Zoo. The pool is a blessing for cooling off after a steaming hot day of activities.

Huge apartment with full amenities”

stay was comfortable. apartment was huge and full amenities were provided. iron, ironing board, washing machine, dryer, hair dryer, utensils, crockeries, can-opener (but no kitchen scissors!) bed was comfortable and room was cleaned daily. bottled water was replenished daily but the same could not be said for the tea, coffee and sugar sachets in the room. we stayed for 5 days and were expected to survive on 4 packets of tea, coffee and sugar. complementary toiletries like toothbrush (only 1) comb and cotton buds were not replenished daily. we were happy with free wifii in rooms. tv and dvd player worked well and we had enough channels to keep us entertained. breakfast was poor. same food (except for a change of drink - watermelon juice, orange juice and apple juice) . only noodles, fried rice (always not replenished, even when it was still early, 9.30am) the breakfast coupon system was a turn off. we stayed at somerset berlian jakarta and had no problems with breakfast. all 4 adults and 3 kids (3 bedroom) had access to breakfast. at somerset hcm, we were given 2 pathetic coupons for 2 adults and 3 children. we had to pay for our 6 year-old. kids play room was roomy enough, except that there was no hotel staff to oversee the room. grocery store is alright, just need to have price tags on items. swimming pool was great. jacuzzi was great. buffalo tour counter was great and the staff was helpful. overall, stay was great.

Great accommodation Great location. Great staff.”

We loved the rooms. The location and the pool.The staff were helpful regardiung taxis and the expected costs. They ordered taxis for us and suggested tours to take whilke we were in Ho Chi Minh. All in all we thought the apartments and the facilities were wonderful.

ENORMOUS 2 bedroom apartment”

i loved the somerset. it was an enormous apartment with all you could want from a home away from home. it was exceptionally quiet, the staff were very helpful and the free wifi in the apartment was an added bonus! the apartment decor, although a little dated was practical and homely. the sixe of the apartment was overwhelming and the luxury of 2 air con units in the large living room and a separate air con unit in each of the bedrooms made for a wonderful night's slep. although a little out of the 'buzz' of the city centre, it was easy enough to get a cab (which were not expensive) into town. there was always a cab ready and waiting outside the hotel and we never waited for more than a minute for one! all in all, i would recommend the somerset for any type of traveller, whether it be a family, couple or business traveller. thanks somerset!

A tad old but still good”

The three-bedroom suite we stayed in was spacious. It was a tad old but clean and comfortably. Room service we ordered took less than 20 minutes to be served from the restaurant. Separate bill from the hotel charges though. Staff was friendly and it was overall an enjoyable experience. Will want to return if we visit Ho Chi Minh City again.

Perfect for a stay with young children”

we've stayed in a 3 bedroom executive with 4 adults and 2 young children. the hotel can provide a baby cot without any charge. we really enjoyed our stay : the staff was very pleasant and smiling, the daily cleaning of the unit is very effective. in the residence, there is a small convenient store where we can find basic goods (water, milk). there is also a free shuttle bus that can bring the customers to other markets (supermarkets and wet markets). close to the hotel, there is a zoo with a big park, which is quite relaxing and fun for the children. for us, the 2 drawbacks are: the poor choice for breakfast buffet (same main dish for a whole week) and the location is far from the center of ho chi minh city. but we definitely recommend this place for any stay with young children.

a spacious apartment”

We booked an apartment with four bedrooms and it was big enough to fit 10 people. Hotel service was wonderful, recommended some nice eating places. Location was a bit out from the city but getting a taxi was not a problem at all. I would definately recommend this apartment to anyone who is travelling to Ho Chi Minh City.
