Happy Life Grand Hotel & Sky Bar

This hotel is such a great place to stay if you’re visiting HCM city! Really clean rooms and are quite big, best part is it’s right in the Center of the city! The staff are literally your family here, they would go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and unforgettable as it gets! Jade, Daisy and Sunshine were always on their toes to give us the very best service possible!!!! All their staff are amazing. They have looked after us so well! So loving and passionate about their jobs! Breakfast is such a great variety which changes daily and can be said that it’s prepared whole-heartedly! Loved it! There we’re literally ZERO issues with our stay here and we’re really missing the amazing and exuberant team that manages this really amazing hotel. No regrets at all! Just great memories!

The gym needs a serious look into it, otherwise gets the job done.

The staff are so so so helpful! And the breakfast is really good, the best we have had in our trip. Good location. This is our second short stay here, after we initially spent a few days here at the start of our 3 weeks in Vietnam👍

Nothing much to complain about: when we stayed here last time I mentioned the loud crap music at the rooftop pool, but we didn’t go up there this time, so I can’t comment👍

The staff was very friendly and accommodating - our flight was delayed and we landed at 5am, and they were ready with our room when we arrived. The room was clean, sizable, and had nice amenities like bathrobes and soaps. The building was clean and well maintained. The rooftop pool was definitely nice for a dip after a hot day of exploring, and the hotel was very well situated for walking to various sites and neighborhoods. I have to RAVE about the AMAZING breakfast buffet - delicious western and Vietnamese food!! Overall, really great for the value.

The rooms could have been bigger, and it would have been nice if there were more pool chairs.

Amazing couple days at this hotel for our first ever experience of Saigon. The staff are amazing, they even recognised it was my husbands birthday on our second day (photocopy of the passports) and came to the room singing with a hand written card and cake for 1. The breakfast was simply lush with a huge variety which we was not expecting. The sky bar is nice with a western price tag, if you want western comfort drink there if not I recommend plonking down on any sidewalk with plastic chairs for a beer which costs less than a £1. The location is amazing, 10 mins walk to Ben than market, surrounded by authentic eateries with plastic chairs and tables on the side walks. Would defo recommend steak and Eggs at Bo Ne a couple of minutes walk away which is a family run cafe. The hotel is only a short distance from the post office, Opera House and Cathedral however do get a grab which is only a £1 or £2, the heat is something else, do what the locals do, grab it rather than walk it. I'd also recommend visiting the market to purchase in the afternoon, it's a hard sell in the morning especially if you are the first customer, the price dictates the luck for the rest of the day for the owner so trying to barter is very hard and you could come across as rude unintentionally. We also tried Nora's Spa a few doors down, it does seem more expensive compared to most but it was worth it, lets face it, £25 for a two hour body massage is nothing to complain about, all I would say, if you are a wuss like me definitely ask for a soft massage because it bloody hurts but also essential after a busy few days of travel and seeing the city.

Great hotel right in the centre of district 1 and close to beer street. The hotel has a working lift and a sky bar giving a view across the city. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is of good quality with plenty of choice.

The gym is cramped and has few free weights, but acceptable.

Amazing pool with amazing view, good location, friendly staff.

They have a weird check-out procedure and tried to charge me for the slippers that were actually in the room. Not very serious from their part to do that.

Great location, staff were great and the price was reasonable for what you got.

The fridge in our room didn't work very well - or the power wouldn't be on in the room if you took the room key out which meant the fridge wasn't on (we think).

Room was clean, just renovated, not loud street but close enough to touristic places, good breakfast

Drinks in sky bar was small and expensive

good location. the staff very kindly. especially Mrs.Nikki very kindly and have a beautiful smile. I have a mistake forgot the wallet at customer site. but I thought I drop off in taxi. and Mrs. Nikki help me call the taxi company ask driver see my wallet or not. she could call by room phone but she came my room directly told me the result. she also advice me if my wallet missing, I have to stop my credit card. lucky next day I found my wallet at customer company. and I told her. I have many times come to Vietnam for business trip. many of them are very kindly and friendly. I had a good time during my stay.

off course none!

Had a superb stay, it feels very up market on arrive, our room was upgraded which was very nice and there were lots of extras included. The staff could not do enough for us and the hotel is very well located, I don't see any reason why you would want to pay more in Ho Chi Min and would recommend to anyone.

The Bar was a little over priced, which would probably explain the lack of people. Also the gym could do with a bit more equipment, and it shower seal caused me to accidently caused me to flood the bathroom. (please don't let any of these reasons put you off staying)
