La Vela Saigon Hotel

Pool is the only reason we want to stay here since we have kids but price is pretty high compared to others nearby. Parents must be aware that they have only 2 persons room. Any children over 12 would be charged 950k vnd more. They have 4 person room but price is the same as 2 two-person room. Bottom line is we wanted children to be with us all times and we have to pay premium price. If you dont need fancy pool then you have plenty of options from nearby hotels

Loved this hotel for our family with two teenagers. Stayed in connecting room which gave us all lots of space. Rooftop pool had the most amazing views. Breakfast was also excellent

The top floor has a really big infinity pool, views in many directions, and a bar. There area is really large so the pool is not crowded even when the lounge chairs are taken. It's really nice. The only thing we encountered was one night (a Thursday night) the sky bar was occupied by a wedding and a birthday party, so it was loud and crowded with drunk people. I'm not even sure we were allowed there so we left. The night before it was a peaceful, relaxing place to grab a drink at night. The breakfast buffet was also quite good with a large variety of food stations and Vietnamese, Asian, Western, and Vegetarian choices. They also made lots of Vietnamese milk coffee so you could just grab one and not have to order and wait. Everything else was decent for this type of hotel except the elevators. Although there were a sufficient number in operation (4 or 5), they were erratic and not clear when they arrived or which direction they were going (and sometimes not stopping). The up and down buttons toggled so if someone pushed a button a second time, it turned off. No one is used to that. Almost every time we got in an elevator, someone (either us or someone else) was expecting it to be going the other direction. It's not a huge deal but it's weird. If you stay here, you will see. Otherwise all the staff was nice and the location is convenient to the airport, for grab pick up, and multiple restaurants and a family mart with a block if walking.

The rooftop-pool is amazing and the breakfast buffet is the best and the most various one I‘ve ever saw. There was just one missing thing: no hot (or cold) chocolate for the kids 😉

Nice hotel for a few family days - really good rooms - breakfast buffet is chaotic but quality OK - pool is the top - and neighborhood is really great! But the escalators sucks during rushhour - really bad waiting 9 minutes for a ride !
