Somerset Ho Chi Minh City

My daughters and nephew birthday they got them a cake that was very special. Great pool and area. Convenient store on property.

They couldn’t put our rooms together even though the property didn’t seem that busy. Family of 12 got 2 3bedroom apartments unfortunately wasn’t next to each other. Was unsafe for little ones to go up and down the elevator by them selves. Would have stayed at a different accommodation if knew this would have happened. It was important because traveling with family is rare.

Well appointed mid tier serviced apartments from a reputable Singaporean property brand - CapitalLand. Apartments were spacious and sufficiently furnished for a group holiday that requires space to gather, or an extended work stay without feeling cooped up like you would in a hotel room. Location is great, in the middle of District 1. Plenty of food delivery options and and coffee options right in front of the property.

Breakfast offers were basic and simple. Limited options but the essentials such as cereal, bakery and egg station were there. Gym equipment is also basic but sufficient to work out a sweat. I booked 2 three-bedder apartments and they did not put use side by side, was a hassle and but I didn't quite mind it. But a quick word on it during check in would have made this entirely acceptable rather than being surprised by it. Small things like these make a 4 star property feel 3 star.

Lovely place and well maintained with attentive staff. Great value for money. Great for kids and families.

A little far from the center for walking.

Large, spacious and very clean apartment. Great for the family. Very friendly front-desk and security staff.

Nothing

Excellent property, it is clean, spacious, well equipped and location is within 10 minutes drive to surrounding shops/ attraction. We stayed at the 2 bedroom premier and the living room is massive, plus there is a laundry room and sun room to hang all your wet laundry. Each room has decent wardrobe space for all your clothing if needed. We had breakfast included in the rate, but didn't really enjoy the selection so decided to just cook our own. There's a Korean market within the complex with supplies adequate grocery if you don't need anything specific. Staff are very helpful specially as we need to extend our stay due to medical reason, they kept the same room for us and made us very comfortable. Swimming pool is well maintained and big enough to do laps.

if I have to be extremely picky, wifi sometimes dropped out, but then its connected again within minute. Not a deal breaker.

The upgrade to bigger room was nice. Appreciate it! We ended up not using the other bedroom. Having a washing machine in house is convenient.

Breakfast was not so great. Google reviews regarding it are truly honest. Out of the 4 mornings, I went down for breakfast on the first and the last day. My fiance came down every morning. Somehow, the morning that we checked out, the staff told me there is only 1 slot for my room. Like what’s the matter? The fact that I don’t go for breakfast there every morning should not change the fact that my room occupied 2 persons with breakfast included for the whole stay. Anyway, I was allowed to join my fiance afterwards. But the situation could be handled better, specifically when it made me look like I was not supposed to be there for breakfast and they did me a favour. Definitely not the kind of impression you wanna create for check-out guests.

The apartment was huge. Had everything you needed and more. Beds were very comfortable. The location was excellent. Some main sights in walking distance but very easy to call a Grab taxi. Good range on breakfast buffet that covered all needs. Large swimming pool. Excellent if you wanted to swim or for playing with children. Our family lived the pool.

You could hear the traffic noise throughout the night, horns beeping, traffic lights beeping. It wasn't so excessive to stop sleeping but noticeable.

The property is kid friendly. It has a decent looking pool, gym, kids playground with swing, and some toys. They also have a car park and a tennis court. They even have a kids pool and a jacuzzi. Somerset also has a residents lounge which contains ample space to sit and they offer free coffee, cheese popcorn, and lemon infused water. They have a business Centre as well as some magazines in their lobby. The property was gated and the restaurant was open all day. The room was spacious and it was value for money! Housekeeping was offered daily. When we arrived it was earth hour so coincidentally we got some complimentary snacks such as spring rolls and fries and fruits.

After housekeeping, our bathroom smelled like fish even though we were vegetarians, the front desk took care of that promptly.

Family-friendly options include suitable apartments with an indoor and outdoor play area for the kids, a pool, a restaurant, and a convenience store on site. Cafes are across the road, food is available close by or by grab, and the CBD is only a short trip or medium walk.

Try to avoid arriving by vehicle during peak-hour traffic as it will take time even once near the location. Outside this, it's not too bad, and to be fair, this is most places in the city.

Stayed in a spacious, very well appointed 3 bedroom apartment for 4 nights. Helpful service staff (they assisted with registering SIMS, finding tours and even emailed us to let us know of a toy we left behind), great lap pool, gym and general amenities. Location is not at the heart of District 1 (so less busy) but still walkable to many of District 1’s main attractions, as well as some mini marts, cafes and restaurants. Perfect for families.
