I had a decent stay at Palago Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. The location is central, making it easy to explore the area. While the staff was friendly and eager to help, there were a few drawbacks like the inconsistent breakfast quality and some room issues. Overall, it was a good experience given the price, though I've had better stays elsewhere.

I had an average stay at Palago Hotel. the location was vibrant, right in the heart of the city with a beautiful park across the road. The breakfast on the 9th floor was convenient but didn't quite match my expectations. Some aspects, like the room cleanliness and noise levels, were a bit disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at Palago Hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the tourist hub with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. However, noise from the busy street and some issues with room maintenance made it less enjoyable. Overall, it was decent for a budget stay, but I had some reservations.

My room was a bit chaotic; while it was bright and had a fridge, I noticed that some rooms were dark and a bit moldy. The mattress was uncomfortable, and I had to deal with a leaky shower that flooded the floor. Definitely check what room you're getting.

Breakfast was included, but honestly, it left much to be desired. They could really step it up, especially in a coffee-loving country like Vietnam. No coffee at breakfast? Seriously?

The facilities were acceptable; I had air conditioning that worked (though slowly) and found the lift handy. But the Wi-Fi was pretty weak, especially on the fifth floor.
