[Review] Golden Rose Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

I am in the mood of writing now, so I will review one hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, where I stayed on my trip to Vietnam May last year. This hotel is located in District 3, and is quite close to War-Remnants Museum and Reunification Palace.

The hotel's name is Golden Rose hotel, and it's quite new. We booked the Premium Deluxe Twin Room for 2 nights stay through agoda.com. The price is reasonable, about US$50 per night, including breakfast. Although the room is a little bit small, but the amenities in this room are great. The bathroom is modern and quite spacious, and provide cold as well as warm water. The bed is comfortable and the air-con works well. 

Breakfast is wonderful, it is a mix of American and Asian buffet. The drawback is that the location is quite far from district 1, where all major attractions and shopping center are located. Although we can walk, it takes about 20 minutes to district 1, and since we are always in a hurry we have to take a taxi. Taxi fare from this hotel to district 1 is about 20.000-35.000 dong. Staffs do not speak fluent English, especially the female ones. Sometimes it is hard to understand what they are saying, but they are very friendly and they are trying really hard to help us in finding the way and other stuffs.
