IC Saigon

IC Saigon

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very much so - two stays in the last few weeks

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked room using points, got suite with club (as on previous paid stays)

How are the rooms?
Great. Modern, spacious and a real suite (two rooms)
Now as a regular guest they even embroider the pillow cases with your name. A bit cheesy but a nice touch.
Chocolates, red wine, fruits, some snacks in the room

How is the exec. lounge?
One of the best in Asia. Good selection, very friendly and helpful staff.

What was your welcome gift?
Chocolates, wine, fruits, some snacks in the room
They also rotate thru some Vietnamese gifts (lacquer plates, boxes and other items which are nice)

Did you receive fruit in the room?
Yes

What was good and what was bad?

Good
- great RA recognition
- Nice rooms
- very good club lounge
- location
- Good breakfast both downstairs (service is sometimes a bit chaotic there) and in the lounge

Bad
nothing really except potentially the lobby. It looks a bit small with low ceilings, not what you would expect in a relatively new IC.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Great value both for paid and point stays. Absolutely.
