Winsuites Sai Gon Hotel
Big market about 100m away so location was good if that's your vibe. Hotel was clean and serviced daily. Not a fan however of open view bathrooms. Other than that it had a roof top pool and all the amenities you need.

GK Central Hotel
Originally assigned to room 808 and it had a pest infestation with plaster bagworms. Worms in their cocoons all along the wall and ceiling. I got reassigned to another room and was still seeing 3-5 bugs a day. Staff were not friendly, and a staff opened up my room when I was inside. No communication ...
