Response from Thinh Nguyen - Sales and Marketing manager on 31 Jan,2024
Dear Mr. Charles,I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your valuable feedback, and I am delighted to provide further details to address the points you raised.LeBlanc Saigon is uniquely positioned within a local Vietnamese neighborhood, offering an authentic experience that is distinct from typical tourist areas. Our location provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the Vietnamese people. Additionally, this area boasts a wide array of dining options, ranging from street food vendors and eateries to restaurants and upscale dining establishments.Furthermore, our hotel is intentionally situated away from the bustling main streets, ensuring a tranquil environment that sets us apart from other accommodations. Access to our establishment is through a small alley, which is only 15 meters from the main street. This is precisely why, in our hotel's promotional materials, we highlight the opportunity for guests to "Stay at LeBlanc Saigon and Enjoy Vietnamese Life." We want our guests to experience the rich and vibrant culture of Vietnam during their stay with us.Secondly, we serve a daily continental breakfast and one type of Vietnamese breakfast for your choice. With the Vietnamese breakfast, we change the menu every day to provide the best experience of Vietnamese food taste.In addition, during your 5-night stay at LeBlanc Saigon, we didn't receive any feedback or requests, so we were unable to assist you further. We always have highly proficient English-speaking front desk staff available in the mornings. However, should you require assistance at any time, you can reach us through our 24/7 English hotline. You'll find the hotline number on the hotel's business card, located at the front desk, and on the notice board in front of the main entrance.Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention, and we hope this explanation helps provide a clearer understanding of the local customs and the unique experience we offer at LeBlanc Saigon.I acknowledge that our hotel may not have met your expectations, and I genuinely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.Best regards,

Didn’t feel safe walking in a dark alley at night to get into the hotel, they cancelled the airport shuttle services while traveling/flying out for the trip, the hotel pictures didn’t look anything like the hotel.

A little off the beaten track, but close enough for us to walk to District 1 attractions, which suited us fine. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable and worked well. There is a mini market just steps away and many street vendors close by. Wifi could have been more consistent, but otherwise happy with our choice and can recommend for those who are OK being a couple of kms from the main attractions.

Excellent location, would stay again
Grab from airport is about 162k including fees. Hotel a few steps down an alley which cars cannot enter. You will be dropped off on Nguyễn Đình Chiểu street just after Pharmacity (pharmacy). Clean rooms. No hand towels. The room we were in had Kettle, coffee/tea, fridge, TV, hairdryer, iron and board, safe. No blockout curtains in our room. The hotel is across two buildings. Daily housekeeping, however our friends room was cleaned but not ours. Housekeeper said she opened our room but it didn’t require cleaning. Nothing was replenished. Friendly reception. They will set up a passcode for the door so you can enter the building if it’s locked. East to follow. Housekeeper not so friendly. Location is excellent in district 3. Across the street is local Vuon Chuoi Market. Prices were not inflated. We purchased food, durian 65k per kg. Adidas Yeezy slides 140k, mens sports shorts 100k. Nguyễn Thượng Hiền street has lots of restaurants and stalls. Another small wet market off Nguyễn Đình Chiểu street.

Le Blanc Saigon
My stay was great. I enjoyed the young man that assisted me. I think his name was Tram. He was very nice. I stayed a little over a week and I was very comfortable. The only problem was trying to find it. It' is located in the alley, so I had to drag my bags when Grab dropped me off, but overall, it was a good experience.

Nice clean place with helpful staff
My wife and I stayed here for a week and would stay again. It was very clean and we really liked their food for breakfast (their Vietnamese Pho is great). It is located in D3, but close to D1. So, we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see (markets, walking streets, and war museum). There were many cheap tasty places to eat near by. The staff helped us setup a tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, which we enjoyed. They also helped us by explaining where to go to take a bus to our next stop. Another guest told me that he had stayed in several hotels in this area and he stated that this was the best one. NOTE: The hotel does not have an elevator, so you may have to talk up 3 or 4 floors. We didn't mind it. ALSO NOTE: The hotel is located in an alley way too small for cars, so you will need to be dropped off at the front of the alley way (#418 - this number is displayed at the front of the allay way). It is only about a 60 meter walk down the alley to the hotel.

Worth every penny!
I have only great things to say about LeBlanc Saigon. I always felt welcome there, the staff treated me like family. The rooms are always upkept and the hotel is thoroughly clean. Don't be offput by the location, it is still close to the action of district one without being noisy!! I would always come back to this hotel when visiting HCMC and recommend it to any westerner nervous about particular areas. Phuc made us feel welcome and has outstanding knowledge of the city. He is always there to assist you with any questions. Check this place out forsure!!

Great stay
Location is in district 3. A little out of the way but still walking distance to most sites. Actual hotel was great, especially the breakfast. I'd stay again. Tours and laundry services were important to us and it was super easy at this hotel. Staff were helpful and very nice. Sheets and towels were the cleanest I've seen!

Wonderful people, intriguing location
We really enjoyed the quirky location, up an alley, well away from the tourist areas. Hotel is surrounded by interesting markets, food stalls and restaurants to suit any level of food adventure. It's only a fun walk from the tourist areas - we walked to and fro, and enjoyed all we experienced on the way. Rooms were very clean, functional and comfortable, and the family who run it were absolutely delightful. Loved the Vietnamese breakfasts, but apparently there are western options too. It's a great place for the traveller who wants to see the real Saigon rather than live in a tourist bubble.

Comfortable stay
Wonderfull stay at the Scandinavian part of LeBlanc, everything modern and beautiful design, enough storage place. Bathroom is quite small but still comfortable. Cleanliness is very good. Breakfast well done and you can choose between vietnamese or continental option. Staff members were really nice and welcoming people. Away from the crowds but even walkable distance. Convenience stores and street food around hotel. I could use their washing machine for free. I would choose this hotel on my next visit to HCMC.

when checking in I was disappointed to see that the motel has no elevator and no male employee on site to assist with luggage so I had to carry up to the room on my own. The maid does clean the room well but the sink she never touched em for the 5 days that I was there. The foods was either too salty or no quality, early morning noise from bike vendor, motor bike. I would not return there ever again.

Nice hotel slightly outside the main tourist area
The hotel was perfectly fine and a good value. The room was comfortable. The people running the hotel were very nice and helpful. The Vietnamese breakfasts were good (need to order them the day before). The location was pretty central and it was very easy to get a cab to whereever we wanted to go. The surrounding streets are pretty crazy with respect to the motorbike traffic, but the hotel itself is up a small alley and was quiet at night. We liked that the hotel was out of the main tourist area, meaning that the street food and local eating places were authentic and inexpensive.
