Good overall. Good staff, friendly service. Excellent a la carte room service breakfast. Great pool on roof, Nice fitness centre. Free internet in business centre. Only drawback was that the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't operate and the bathroom steamed up . Also left a slightly damp feel to the bedroom. They did offer to move us to another room, but for a 3 night stay and having already unpacked etc. it didn't seem worth it.

Hotel is a little far to walk to some of the tourist areas in the heat, but taxis are cheap enough in the cvity. Take care which company you choose though - Stick to Mailinh or Vina taxi. On one occasion took a taxi that was not one of the above and it was 70k dong for what should have been a 20 k dong trip.

Another good thing is that there is a safe in the room.

Nice lobby bar.

The Sofitel Plaza was our first stay in all of Vietnam. The room was so relaxing and had plenty of space for all of our luggage.
We had great nights of sleep. The beds were firm but comfortable. The bathroom was large and elegant. Behind the hotel is a Highlands coffee shop and only a long block away behind the resturant are many great resturants.

The pho at the hotel (in the bar in evening) was the best we had in the city....i know that is probably not a popular comment, but there was such a great aroma that it beat any local stand or Pho 24.

The hotel staff was extremley helpfull. I thought I had lost my Credit card and went down to the desk at 1am at night. Their business center was closed and I could not use them to cancel or to see if any charges had processed. The staff took me back to the offices and let me use the computer there. (oh..it was in my purse... :) oops, I think jet lag was getting to me)

The breakfast buffet was the best we had in all vietnam. They had everything and the quality was certainly better than some of the other 4+ star hotels we stayed at.

Overall a great hotel. Enjoy your stay!!

Excellent business hotel. Luxury in Saigon. Stayed on the executive floor - everything you would expect from an excellent 5 star property. Well recommended - good service, good bar/food at Club Sofitel - great experience!

The Plaza is primarily a business hotel that supplements its income from tourists.

Having said that it really meets every expectation of a five star hotel.

The rooms are very good and well equipped. Service is excellent and the hotel has every facility a tourist or business person might need.

The only downside for a tourist is the hotel has no 'character' and its not in the best location.

Nevertheless, location is relative when free shuttles are provided and a taxi fare is around $1 to the main restaurant/shopping action in Saigon.
