Queen Ann Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam manages to tick all the boxes a savvy traveler wants in a three-star hotel: clean rooms, decent interiors, good service, and fast and free Wi-Fi connection. We stayed in this hotel for two nights, and here’s my comprehensive review of Queen Ann Hotel.
As part of our arrangement with Transpipol Travel and Tours, the agency driver fetched us from Tan Son Nhat International Airport at midnight and we arrived safely at the hotel in about 20 minutes without traffic. At the reception area, we submitted our passports and hotel accommodation voucher. In return, we were given the room key and breakfast vouchers, and the hotel porter helped us with our luggage. Checking in was a breeze.
Review of Queen Ann Hotel Saigon (Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam)
Ambiance: β β β β β
For a three-star hotel that’s five years old, the interior design was quite classy and well furnished. The lobby wasn’t much of a looker, but it’s simple, elegant, and spacious with a number of sofa sets enough to seat up to three groups of guests. There’s one elevator working but it’s fine. The location is convenient for most since it’s near the city’s tourist attractions, 10 minutes away from Ben Thanh market, department stores, and other commercial buildings.
The Superior Double/Twin Room’s layout was just right. We had two single beds, mini fridge, TV (showing local channels), dressing area, cabinet, slippers, and good lighting system. I just hated that the pillow was too high for my neck. Good thing I brought my doll which I used as a head pillow and hugged the hotel’s pillow to feel warm and cozy instead. AC was okay and temperature and power could be controlled via the remote control.
The bathroom featured nice amenities and modern touches. It was fitted with complete toiletries, good plumbing, and sets of towels. The shower had great water pressure and hot water was reliable during our stay. There’s also a hair blow dryer to dry hair faster, but unfortunately it didn’t work at all. Anyway, I liked that the shower area was installed with a glass enclosure to prevent water from splashing out to the toilet floor.
Service: β β β β β
Hotel receptionists and frontline employees could speak in English but not the rest of the staff. We did not need much assistance from them because no problems were encountered during our short stay, thank goodness. Housekeeping was good and our room was made up each day. Servers in the restaurants were also accommodating and attentive to orders.
Food: β β β ββ
The restaurant was at the basement of the hotel. We had buffet for breakfast and it was great the food offerings were varied in two consecutive days. The buffet table presented both local Vietnamese food such as pho as well as the “normal food” for breakfast such as eggs, sausages, rice, bread, bacon, etc. to make ourselves feel at home. Drinks available were juices, coffee, and water.
Queen Ann Hotel’s restaurant does not only cater breakfast but also serves a la carte items for lunch and dinner. But if you’re looking for really tasty food in Vietnam that can strike harmony especially in the heart of a picky eater, better go some place else for a more exciting and pleasing eating experience. π
Black and glossy furniture with mirrors in the restaurant provided a more luxurious impression.
Price for Value: β β β β β
Since we booked through our travel agent, we might have had a better discounted price for our room. Hotel pricing from Agoda shows USD 51.90 (about PhP 2380) per night, but this of course depends on the chosen dates and season of the year. Based on this rate, I think Queen Ann Hotel Saigon has a fair price for value. It’s not considered as a “budget hotel” and certainly not a boutique hotel either. I recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Vietnam for a vacation, holiday or business trip.

The ambiance was truly welcoming. The wood accents were pretty neat! π
What a lovely looking hotel. The rooms look great.
While this hotel does not offer an incredible view of the city, you can have comfort and enjoyment since it’s near the city’s best tourist attractions. We just walked our way to the hotel from the restaurants and shopping centers by asking the locals for directions. π
This looks like a great place to stay for that price. The rooms don’t look bad at all. I love the door design. I would definitely stay there some day.
Yup, it’s a good choice of place to stay in Ho Chi Minh. π

This hotel looks so beautiful. I love how the dining room area is designed.
I just thought that there should be more tables and chairs to accommodate more people having breakfast all at the same time in the morning. What we did was we shared a table with another traveler and carried a good conversation with her. π
It doesn’t look like it’s 5 years old already. They have nice interiors ah.
Btw, there are 2 photos showing the TV and mini fridge π
Hahaha. Thanks for telling me that. I totally did not notice. Grabe, stressed na yata talaga ako. π
Everything looks clean and amazing. The location sounds great too.
Yup. We’re happy that the bedroom wasn’t too cramped and there’s still some walking space left.
The hotel I used in Vietnam has similar facilities. The rates of the hotel is reasonable.
I think it’s pretty normal and this is the regular setup you can find in most hotels.
This hotel is gorgeous. Everything looks so crisp and clean. The restaurant is amazing. I love the style.
Yup, I really prefer staying in relatively cheaper hotels and spending more on food and stuff rather than paying more to stay in a crazy luxurious room only to sleep in it at night. π
what a beautiful hotel. Sorry the food wasn’t better. I just wrote a passage where I was completely disappointed by the food of a hotel.
The food was not best but we did not expect it to be anyway. It was okay. π
What a luxurious hotel to stay in. The rooms are so modernly furnished.
Queen Ann Hotel has all the fundamental things you’ll need for a nice stay. π
That hotel is simply gorgeous! I also love the name of the hotel – beautiful.
I don’t know the background of the name Queen Ann though. π
What an amazing hotel! I hope I get the chance to travel to Vietnam one day!!
I’m excited for you! π
What a gorgeous hotel! I would absolutely love to stay there!
Our room was really reasonably priced and very spacious, clean and definitely worth the money.
It looks like it would be an nice place to stay and I like that the breakfast buffet offered a variety of options.

Omg this hotel sound fabulous! If I ever find myself in Vietnam I know where to stay!
I hope you’d have a peaceful stay as we did here. π

You’ll be happy with its central location. There’s no hassle to call for a tuktuk ride or just walk your way to the best restaurants and tourist places in the city. π

You’re most welcome, Janet! π
