Customer reviews:
Our arrival in HCMC was unexpected as we were on a mercy dash with 2 friends in a nasty accident and needing urgent hospitalisation - we wanted accomodation very close by and were recommended this hotel by the medical staff. We were very impressed by their efficient manner, the rooms were spacious and they were very understanding to our needs. Cleanliness was A1. Highly recommend to any traveller needing a little bit of extra comfort. Thankyou to all the staff at Au Lac hotel HCMC, very much appreciated. 

Basically, we liked the location of this hotel - .in a fairly quiet area but about 15 minutes walk to Ben Thanh market. Our room was beautiful and the sitting room had a great outlook..
We stayed at Au Lac in the second week of August for 4 nights, then went travelling and then came back for another 2 nights. Our luggage was minded while we were away. We had a deluxe double room booked through Booking.com which did not seem to match up with the description of the rooms in the hotel. We couldn't complain, though, because we were given on both occasions of our stay, a VIP room (that's what it said on the door of the room). It had a sitting room overlooking the street and the city. Behind that was a lovely bathroom and behind that was the bedroom (with a very comfortable king size bed). Because of the distance from the street (which was a fairly quiet street in Saigon terms) we heard no noise from our bedrooom - from the street or from anyone in the hotel. In fact, Au Lac, being situated in District 3 is away from the frenzy of the back packer hotel area. It is very close to Diamond Plaza - which has a supermarket and a food court area and a most delicious Tous les Jours bakery. The staff at reception were very welcoming and spoke sufficient English for our needs. The staff in the dining area didn't seem to speak any English but we could manage with sign language. Most of the guests seemed to be businessmen. We didn't see any Western tourists while we were there.
Breakfast was fine - mainly Asian style dishes at the buffet - but plenty of fruit, fresh bread (and butter and jam) and eggs cooked to order, to suit western taste.
Fast speed internet on the Mezzanine level - three computers available - so we normally didn't have to wait to use one.  


We stay in Au Lac hotel for 3 nights and were pleasantly surprised at the proximity of the location of the hotel to attractions such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Post Office and Ben Thanh market. The room is spacious and spotlessly clean. I almost felt that the cleaner was too zealous in cleaning and tidying up our room as she puts all the items we left on the table into the drawers and closet.

We stayed at the 8th floor. There wasn't much of a view except of the road and some construction on going opposite our building. That said, it was not noisy at all.

Breakfast is average traditional VN food. Although, it is stated that breakfast is from 7am to 11am, the buffet spread was almost finished when you arrived at 1030am. The staff was kind and prepared some noodles for us instead.

Overall, i would say this good value for money hotel. I would ddefinitely stay there again.
  • Liked — It is very clean and well located. Service is great.
Staff are very friendly and rooms are well furnished. However, the good stops there. The airconditiong in room is terrible. It is not cool and I think it lacks gas. As I type this review I am in the room preparing to have a hot night. I tried to call the reception and they said all the rooms had the same situation. They suggested a change of rooms but the alternative is a room without windows.

I do not think it worth it to pay for the Superior I room here and I had better service in a smaller hotel in Hanoi. I paid half the price.
  • Liked — location
  • Disliked — airconditioning

The hotel was in a good position - not far from the major tourist areas of town. The front office staff were friendly, but not very flexible (we tried to book a tour with them but they were useless). The rooms were clean, but the beds were noticeably hard. Breakfast (mostly asian with bread and jam thrown in for good measure) was really good. Double bed rooms had a window, but twin bed rooms lucked out. Bathrooms were very clean and didn't leak (a rarity in many of the cheaper hotels in Vietnam). I would definately stay here again, I'd just make sure I got a room with a window!
  • Liked — The bathroom
  • Disliked — The bed

AuLac Hotel is located in District 3 but fairly close to the tourist area of District 1. The hotel is very clean, and the service excellent. There is free internet on the second floor and a buffet breakfast (mostly Asian food). It is a fair better value (at $36 night) that some of the other hotels in District 1. The only drawback was the loud noise from the outside street traffic 

The hotel is in an excellent location, the staff was very courteous and professional. Friendly. They made me feel at home, comfortable and safe. The facilities were well furnished, clean and modern. I will stay there again. Thanks to Aurora Travel Agency for booking this hotel for me. I will stay there on my next trip to Vietnam.

  • Liked — Location and Staff
  • Disliked — Construction in the area but it is really not a problem and will finish soon.
 It was a business trip and most popular hotels are pretty booked up. Our affiliate company booked me at Au Lac and was a bit skeptic at start coz i dont see reviews on this hotel. Surprise, surprise, it was a very nice hotel, quite new, roomy and felt very comfortable with the place. From Au lac hotel, it was just a few blocks away from Notre Dame Cathedral. From the 7th floor, i got a corner room, thus, i had a very nice view overlooking the Notre Dame Cathedral. I took some pictures and you'll see what i mean...

Customers reviews:

Just a wonderful hotel and place to build a perfect visit around. The hotel staff were very helpful and courteous - it made it a pleasure to return after a hard day of shopping and sigh seeing! It was a great boutique hotel experience. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Very comfortable bed, great location, loved the bar and lounge, very luxurious. I would call it a boutique hotel. There were so many positives and just some little negatives. I would without a doubt stay here again.

 Wonderful service, clean and comfy room, and a great value! I am pretty picky about hotels, and was a little concerned because friends picked it out, and it was cheap. But I had nothing to worry about... it was an excellent hotel!!

The hotel was very clean and the rooms very big and nice. The beds were really comfortable. The staff was very friendly and really helpful. Has wireless internet with great connection. Would recommend to any of my friends and will definitely be back.
Stayed August 2011, traveled with family
