On oasis in the city. What a treat to find this wonderful hotel to call home for a few days. After a brutal 3 calendar days of air travel on packed planes, it was such a relief to arrive in this little piece of paradise in the heart of the best district in Saigon. Located on a quiet side street yet in the middle of everything, on a little trafficked tree lined street, this boutique hotel charms from the moment you pull up. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and efficient. We opted for a room with a private balcony and city view that also afforded glimpses of the river. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and linens, and a well equipped bathroom with deep soaking tub, rain shower, and handheld. Great lighting and plenty of room for product, plus a Japanese style bidet toilet seat. There are 2 elevators and waits are short. The pièce de résistance is the magnificent rooftop pool with bar and occasional unobtrusive live music. Lots of seating options from a hammock, lounges, sofas, chairs, beanbag chairs, high tops, and tables. Most with shade from the brutally hot Vietnamese sun. Breakfast is outstanding with a great mix of traditional Vietnamese, Asian, and continental options. Afternoon tea is similar with with less options but perfect for a pick me up in between meals. There’s a spa as well as gym and other amenities I didn’t use. Outside is everything you could want from dining, spas, shopping, and the most popular cultural attractions. Treat yourself at Silverland May.
