The Myst Dong Khoi

The Myst Dong Khoi is a 5-star hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with classic contemporary interiors and a rooftop pool that overlooks the Saigon River. It suits travellers who want a central base with balcony rooms, a restaurant and a spa, and who prefer to walk to the main sights.

The air-conditioned rooms have airy windows that bring in plenty of natural light, soft neutral palettes and classic furnishings. Each has a flat-screen TV, a kettle, slippers and a hairdryer, and the en suite bathrooms have a bathtub, bathrobes and free toiletries. Some rooms add a seating area, and several balcony rooms look over the city.

Free WiFi covers the whole property, and bilingual staff are at the front desk around the clock. Complimentary afternoon tea is served in the restaurant for in-house guests, and the hotel also has a spa, a fitness centre, a tour desk and an airport shuttle for arrivals at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

The Myst Dong Khoi has eight room types, and each one has a balcony, a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and soundproofing. Double and twin rooms share this core, and sizes run from 40 m² to 50 m², so the choice comes down to size, view and bed layout. Dong Khoi rooms feature local artworks and handicrafts, the Saigon Balcony Double has wooden floors, and the Verdant Calm and Serene Corner rooms have balconies with lush gardens.

Views set the rooms apart. The Verdant Calm double, the Serene Corner double and the Signature Suite have city views, and the Signature Suite, at 50 m², is the largest room and the only one with a spa bath. The Dong Khoi and Saigon rooms overlook the adjacent building. The twin rooms have two single beds, and the Serene Corner twin, at 46 m², is larger than the 40 m² twins.

The restaurant, a coffee house on site and a bar cover eating and drinking. Among the leisure facilities there is an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers or beach chairs and pool towels, an open-air bath, a steam room, a sauna and a spa offering full body massage.

Services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, laundry, a tour desk, meeting and banquet facilities, a lift, a terrace and an airport shuttle. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

In the rooms you will find a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a telephone, plus free toiletries, bathrobes, a hairdryer, towels, a bidet, an electric kettle, a desk, a seating area and a sofa bed. There is no parking available at the hotel.

Me Linh Square and Công Viên Cảng park are both 150 m away, and the Saigon Opera House is 350 m, a French colonial-era theatre and one of the city's landmarks. Ho Chi Minh City Hall is 550 m from the hotel, and Nha Rong Wharf, a riverside wharf on the Saigon River, is 700 m away, so the water is a short walk from the front door.

Crescent Lake, 5.5 km from the hotel, is a longer outing for a free afternoon.
