????? An Unforgettable Stay – Thank You, La Vela Saigon! I stayed at La Vela Saigon for 8 days, and it was truly one of the most beautiful and comforting experiences I've had. From the moment I checked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and just right. The hotel’s ambiance is stunning—modern yet cozy, and the rooftop pool with a view of the city skyline was absolutely breathtaking. I even got to celebrate my birthday here, and it felt so special being surrounded by my boss and close friends in such a gorgeous setting. It felt like a home away from home—where every moment was filled with comfort and joy. The location is super convenient too! Getting around via Grab was a breeze, and I felt safe the entire time. The staff were all professional, friendly, and accommodating—thank you for making my stay stress-free and memorable. I also appreciated being allowed to extend my checkout until 6 PM on my last day—this gave me extra time to soak in the view and prepare peacefully for my flight back home. La Vela will always hold a piece of my heart. Thank you for being part of such a meaningful chapter in my life. I’ll definitely come back one day. ????
Hotel is not very far from the airport about 1/2hr depending on traffic. It’s easy walking distance to local restaurants and convenience stores. The room I rented was nice and large. It was fairly modern. The lobby was spacious and had coffee and small bits to eat for a price of course. The roof top pool/lounge area is amazing. The views were spectacular.
For a family, this is a decent hotel. Great swimming pool and decent gym. Rooms are clean and the furniture is of good quality. Breakfast is good. Tye area is safe and vibrant. Very clean hotel and the staff do work hard to maintain the hotel and serve the guests. The location is a bit far from attractions, but it is not bad. It is close to the airport. However, I would like to emphasize that the hotel's security system is intrusive and they watch every single move the guests make. If you are a single male and want to bring female guests discreetly , you will have to register them at reception (if you bring a female guest after 10 PM be prepared to be treated poorly and your girl will be treated as a dangerous prostitute). I found this intrusive. In short, this is a good family hotel, but you will not feel private or discreet. I would like to mention that I discussed the privacy concern with the manager of the hotel, and she was very courteous. She offered me a limousine ride to the airport and nice small desert, but I maintain that their security system is just not suitable for solo travelers who prioritize privacy and discretion.
Elegant Stay Near the Airport – Great Views and Service For our last three days in Vietnam, we chose La Vela Saigon mainly because of its proximity to the airport — and it turned out to be a great decision. We stayed on the 21st floor and had a wonderful view from our room, which was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The rooftop infinity pool looked amazing and would have been the perfect place to relax, but unfortunately, we didn’t have the time to use it. The same goes for the well-equipped gym, which also seemed excellent for a workout. The staff were professional, friendly, and always helpful, contributing to the overall classy feel of the hotel. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety — from continental classics to Asian rice porridge, Indian dishes, and Vietnamese pho. However, we were surprised to find relatively few vegetarian options, which might be something to improve. Overall, La Vela is a stylish, well-managed hotel that delivers on quality and comfort. We'd definitely consider staying again.
