My stay at Thao Dien Boutique Hotel was a mix of beauty and disappointment. The grounds are truly really good with a peaceful atmosphere, but the service and room quality fell short. I faced several issues, including cleanliness and lack of available amenities, which impacted my overall experience.

Rooms

I found the room nicely appointed at first glance, but it wasn't very clean. There were mouldy walls and a dangerous shower. I also had issues with the phone and safe, and the Wi-Fi was unreliable. Overall, it was disappointing given the boutique setting.

Service

The staff were friendly, but only one could really communicate well in English. I encountered many instances where requests were not met satisfactorily, which was frustrating during my stay.

Location

The location by the Saigon River is picturesque and serene, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle of the city. However, it's quite far from District 1, which can be a hassle if you want to explore more.

Breakfast left much to be desired as many items were unavailable from the small menu. What I did order, like the fruit platter, was pretty ordinary. The dining experience certainly didn't match the beauty of the surroundings.

Facilities

However, I encountered multiple issues with the staff's responsiveness, particularly during meal service and with housekeeping. Overall, it was a mixed experience that didn't fully meet my expectations.

I found Thao Dien Boutique Hotel to be a beautiful place with great potential, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by inconsistent service and some maintenance issues. The grounds are absolutely picturesque, located by the serene banks of the Saigon River, which made for lovely evenings. However, I encountered several disappointments in room cleanliness and the dining options, which left much to be desired. Overall, while I appreciated the aesthetics, the service and facilities did not align with expectations for a premium boutique resort. 🌿💔
