Homestead Parkview

Where to start. We had booked a hotel transfer, and when we arrived at the airport domestic terminal, we were forced to walk to the international terminal for pick-up in very hot conditions with young children. The transfer person/driver wasn't even a person from the hotel. All this is a service we paid $25us for, so it was a poor start to our experience. Check in went ok and the service desk was ok. The actual hotel staff on the day were nice, courteous and helpful. Now the room. It was very worn and had seen better days. The room was dirty and we found a condom wrapper under the bed on the first day. Yuck. Then the beds were hard and uncomfortable with tears in the linen. The baby cot we requested was unusable, it was old the mattresswas hard like wood and it was damaged, possibly making it unsafe for an infant to be in . Then the bathrooms, they we ok until we wanted a warm/hot shower or bath. We had to run the water for 15+ minutes before any sort of hot water would emerge. We also found window latches broken, The room for a 2 bedroom family apartment was also very poorly equipped. Plus also a big note. No pool. Other notes. If your expecting any sort of sleep in during the week, you won't get it. The primary school right next door is very loud most of the day, then there is the road noise mixed into all that as well. Then on weekends the school is quite but the night club across the road kicks in and that loud in a whole other way. So we wont stay there again.

This hotel is perfect for those who want free music and bass until 2am. This is definitely not for family at all. There's a night club that operates until 2am next door. You can hear the music, and the bass shaking up your room until 2am. Not to mention, this hotel is famous for overbooked, I booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, but ended up getting a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom instead for my stay. (4 adults and 1 infant) It's also very sad that Hotels.com didn't do anything about it or inform us prior to the arranged room not being available to us anymore. My 2 elderly ended up with 1 single foldable bed each.

Clean, located at center. Comfort. Good for family vacation. Provide kitchen ware

Pros: 1. Staff and interaction is good. There is always someone at the front desk. 2. Location, walking distance to all sites in District 1. 3. Space of the apartment is great. 4. Value for money. If you are traveling with a family budget is a great option. Cons: 1. The pictures and the expectations of the property need to be change. The place is run down. 2. The restaurant and buffet are a let down. It looks unsanitary. My family had breakfast (bread and waffles), but it was more out of necessity. I didn’t stomach myself to eat there. 3. Like other reviews have mention the noise level from the street at all hours is everyday. Didn’t bother me but I had to mention it. Don’t get me wrong our stay was pretty good. We had everything we need it for what we paid for. Ho Chi Minh District one is pretty noisy but we made the decision to stay close to the sites to avoid taking taxis so we knew it will be noisy and the property would not be 5 stars.
