The Rare Rooms by The Bloom - Saigon

バスルーム以外は清潔、基本的に部屋は綺麗

バスルームがすこし汚いが気になるレベルではない、お湯が出ない、シャワーの水圧が弱すぎる

cute design, the smart projector with Netflix, washing machine, the lights

My room was on the 3rd floor with no lift. Thankfully that wasn’t an issue during the check in since the lady who works there helped me carry my bags. But for the check out I was on my own. it’s still good to be aware of that. The hall is…sad. As soon as you enter the building, you’re right away in a dark hall with trash containers, a cupboard and a dryer. Not the kind of entrance I expected…also, the main door of the building is an absolute nightmare. It makes sense to need a code to ENTER the building, but you actually also need to enter a code in order to LEAVE the building. Which makes absolutely no sense and is actually dangerous. No one shows you how to enter the code so the first day I couldn’t figure out that I had to press the card sign for a while before entering the code and I messed up a few times by touching instead of pressing. The door then automatically denied any more tries. The lady who works there was in the building so I called her and she told me she doesn’t have the keys and if we can’t enter the code, we can’t leave the building. What if there was a fire? There should be a door handle from the inside! Just because of that door, I’d never stay in this hotel again. Now the room…the bathroom was not that clean. Lots of stains in the shower and black joints. No hand soap, which made no sense since all the other amenities like toothbrush, shower cap and comb were there. When I asked the staff about it, I was said I needed to buy it myself. Also I had to text the staff to figure out how the shower works. You have to turn on the switch for hot water, then open the water from the top and use a knob to change the temperature. For the projector, you can’t open your profile on Netflix unless you go to settings and activate the virtual mouse. It would have been nice to have a sheet explaining everything. I kept bugging the staff with all my questions and had to figure out some stuff on my own (like the door code).

Værelset er præcis som på billederne. Meget rent, god beliggenhed og gratis parkering, hvis man lejer en motorcykel. Værten hjalp os også med at bestille en taxa til lufthavnen. Rigtig god værdi for pengene.

The location is definitely convenient.

Poor communications from the host, disappointed with the facility quality from the entry to the room. I booked for a refundable price option which was already higher than their normal price. However prior to the date that my booking became non-refundable, the host requested me to pay for my booking in advance in full to secure it to their personal bank account. This was completely nonsense! I felt like I got scammed from them. I ignored and refused their request, but made a mistake when I was already doubt about this accommodation: I didn’t cancel the booking before it became non-refundable. So, I turned up at the booked date and totally disappointed with them: no elevator (all rooms are from level 1 and above), no reception and the host wasn’t always available when contacting coz we arrived early (the host was actually present there but ignored us until 2pm -check in time😂), our room was humid, wet & smell, the bed wasn’t comfortable and didn’t meet the market standard at that price. And the last thing: we spotted some tiny cockroaches in our room. With all these disappointments, we checked out just after 5 hours despite of paying in full at the arrival. Then moved to another hotel nearby with a bit cheaper price (less than USD 82 for 2 nights that we had paid here) but with super quality. So my recommendation: don’t stay here unless you love their projectors😂
