In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The Superior runs 28 square metres in warm cream-and-brown tones, with a firm Queen bed, fast Wi-Fi, and a glass walk-in shower. It isn't big or plush like a 5-star room, but it's clean and fully functional for a couple or a solo traveler. Rates start at about $57 a night (roughly 1.5 million dong), which is good value for a 4-star with a rooftop pool. Family rooms are an option too, and staff are happy to set up an extra bed.
Food and amenities
The draw here is the open-air rooftop pool with its spa tub and sauna — you get a view over Ho Chi Minh City as the sun softens. The in-house spa runs a 60-minute foot massage for about $28. The ground-floor Mango restaurant lays out a full buffet breakfast with pho, fried eggs, French bread and fresh fruit. Add 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi, free valet parking, and an airport shuttle on request. Real-guest scores land around 8.4.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits on Bui Thi Xuan Street in District 1, quieter than the main drag but close to everything. It's a 10-minute walk to the Bui Vien walking street, which buzzes after dark with bars, noodles and live music, and another 9 minutes to Ben Thanh Market in the morning. Grab a car to Bitexco Financial Tower — the 262-metre landmark with the Sky Deck — and you're there in 8 minutes. Cheap, good pho and banh mi spots sit right nearby.
Things to know before booking
Real-guest scores hover around 8.4 — solid, but moderate next to the top-ranked hotels on this list. The address is Bui Thi Xuan, a secondary street rather than the main tourist strip, so plan on a short walk to the nightlife. And rooms fill fast in high season, so book ahead if your dates are locked in.
Our take
EdenStar Saigon Hotel and Spa fits couples and small families who want a 4-star with a rooftop pool and spa without 5-star prices, an easy walk from the Pham Ngu Lao / Bui Vien quarter. For a budget around $57 a night, it earns its keep.
