We enjoyed our stay tremendously in Redsun. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially Hong. Nice breadfast and cosy dining area. You can even book travel trips via the hotel at no extra cost. Will definitely return for next trip and stay there.

This room was located just off the kitchen at road level, whch meant that it was extremely hot and sticky. The single shared bathroom also has no hot water, but considering Saigon's climate wasn't such a bad thing. However, sharing a single bathroom with the entire hotel staff did become quite inconvenient at times.close
