A short drive from the airport, First Hotel is an excellent hotel with high quality rooms and facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the private tours were great - especially the Mekong Delta day trip. Staying in a non-touristy area was an immersive cultural experience. A highlight was the nearby cinema, which was a fun experience with its 4DX theatre.

It was ok. Property was in a good walkable distance to shops. Weird how the hotel was in 3 different buildings and to get to the swimming pool you had to go across the street. Breakfast was not that good.
