Alagon Saigon Hotel & Spa

We were very impressed by this hotel, which makes great use of what appears to be a quirky layout. The restaurant facilities sprawl across the main entrance floor, with multiple serving stations operating for breakfast and spaces ranging from a formal dining atmosphere to a quick snack location for those looking to make a swift exit. The clientele was very mixed with many Vietnamese guests alongside tourists from many countries. Everyone could find something to suit, but the ubiquitous noodle soup / Pho options had a wide fan base. The rooftop pool and bar area was made all the better because the hotel gave guests discount tickets for each day.

Fantastic hotel, excellent location, it is important to say there are two Alagon hotels in one, Alagon Saigon and Alagon City. each with opposing street frontage and shared facilities such as restaurant, pool, beauty spa etc, we stayed at both during our time in Vietnam. Alagon Saigon Hotel we stayed 4 nights, being the newer of the two, very clean, with a nicer room fitout and view than Alagon City. Alagon City Hotel and Spa we stayed 2 nights, is a little older, with noise from lift and the rooms face a 20 metre plus neon sign from the hotel opposite, no escaping the light overnight even with curtains closed. Apert from the older rooms, all else is equal. Superb full buffet breakfast offered, if taking the happy hour package it includes drinks at the rooftop bar each evening, both spirits and alcoholic cocktails offered and chat potato snack. Complimentary dinner offered with our 5 night stay, one main each, excellent. Hotel location is perfect being District 1, many restaurants, massage etc. mere steps away and short walk to markets. All hotel staff are very attentive and helpful at every interaction. Rooftop pool is small and probably not suitable for littlies that cannot swim, water was quite cold for such a warm climate location. Luggage storage available and bathroom facilities at pool level for late flights after checkout.

Everyone at the hotel is extremely kind and can’t do enough to help you, especially Quan and Catie who ensured to check in with us everyday. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The location is very central and in easy walking distance to a lot of the main attractions. The daily breakfast was the perfect way to start our day with a big selection and even made to order eggs and omelettes. We didn’t use the pool or rooftop bar but both looked great, we visited the spa and our therapists were amazing. Would have loved a few extra days to enjoy the facilities more.

Our stay at the Alagon Hotel was perfect. We arrived late and were offered a very spacious and comfortable room overlooking the main avenue (even better than the one we had originally booked), but unfortunately, it had a slight damp smell, so they moved us to a different room the next day. The breakfast was very complete, and the location was perfect! The staff is very attentive and friendly, and in particular, Gemma Do at the reception assisted us the entire time with exceptional kindness. Without a doubt, we will return to HCM and to the Alagon.

The property was centrally located in district 1. We were able to reach desirable areas from this spot and our tour guides had an easy time picking us up. I’ll definitely be staying here again. Breakfast was amazing. Staff was super courteous and most spoke English. Everyone was extremely friendly. Definitely recommend.
