The free breakfast buffet was good but lack variety. It was the same menu the fives days we're there. Room service was convenient in all hours and reasonable priced. Overall the hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms and the facility was clean and orderly. Their concierge was also very helpful in tour and excursion choices.

A short drive from the airport, First Hotel is an excellent hotel with high quality rooms and facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the private tours were great - especially the Mekong Delta day trip. Staying in a non-touristy area was an immersive cultural experience. A highlight was the nearby cinema, which was a fun experience with its 4DX theatre.

The new addition that we stay was clean and good , cleaning staff had limited communication ability, the fitness center is extremely old equipment and only few items worked. Breakfast was good but everyday the same items repeated. Not that much difference choice.

I would like to write my 2 recommendations first because these are just short. 1. The breakfast buffet should have croissants for the children, and I think even adults like to eat croissants too; also, think about what food you can change daily because it’s always the same food everyday. I know they tried hard to change the phở, hủ tiếu, bún, nui, mì everyday, but the other dishes are the same. The chef Chương was very nice and super helpful. 2. I recommend if you can add a fan inside the ceiling in the bathroom: to blow outside the humidity when guests take a shower and the smell when guests use the toilets. My family with young children had a wonderful stay at First Hotel for almost one month. I greatly appreciate all the courteous and professional employees there. I felt so blessed and safe during our stay there. My husband, I, and our 3 children had a much fun time staying at First Hotel and will definitely come back in the near future. The room was a little small, if the room was a little bigger, it would be just perfect! But the room was very clean, nice, and cozy. Cleaning staff was very nice, helpful, and courteous. The Hotel is very close to the airport and chợ Phạm Văn Hai. I grew up in this area up until I was almost 14 years old when I left Việt Nam and came to the U.S., so the Hotel’s location is really close to my relatives and friends which was wonderful and convenient. Ông Dương Văn Long bellman helped us a lot, and also bellmen Tuấn and Hoàng.
