Uber from hotel to airport was no issue as I had the porter confirm my destination with the driver. I guess the issue here for Uber in HCMC is lack of english speaking drivers for foreign tourists, especially for airport pickups.
Could not agree with you more. in my experience, foreign language skill for Vietnamese uber drivers is very limited. So it is not really a convenient or practical option for foreign visitors without additional assistance, such as from the hotel staff in your case.
