Airport Hotel Review I : Erato Boutique Hotel - Free one-way transfer, free breakfast

Review / Photo copyright by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

Sazi Erato Hotel - Free Airport & Breakfast is officially known as Erato Boutique Hotel and is managed by Sazi Group.

A full range of toiletries including razor kit, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shower gel and shampoo are available in the toilet-cum-shower room. I wonder why Trip.com does not mention this when it sells the rooms.

The room that I paid for is too small. There is no place to sit down and there is no desk. I have neck ache for two nights as a result.

One-way free airport transfer is provided to guests. Let the reception know whether it is pick-up or drop-off. Each transfer costs 10000 Vietnamese Dong.

Free breakfast is at the pho restaurant on the left of the hotel. Mixed fried rice, chicken rice are also available. However, fruits are not served. For byproducts of fruits, travel to Phen's Coffee along Nguyen Van Cong for smoothies.

Hotel Review II : Dong Nhu 6 Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City

Dong Nhu 6 Hotel now provides drinks for sale near the reception and in the rooms. Thailand Tom Yang Goong cup noodles are no longer for sale. The room has a full range of toiletries including razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower cap, shower gel and shampoo.

Dong Nhu 6 Hotel is of 60 metres away from the lane where airport cafes are located. Settle breakfast at airport cafes from 7 am onwards as meals are not provided at the hotel.

Plane-spotting is possible on the end corridors of third levels and above but on the third and fourth level, guests cannot stand after opening the corridor door to spot planes. Only on the fifth level corridor balcony guests can spot planes.

Dong Nhu 6 Hotel has deadline for room booking. The hotel rejects on-line booking three days before arrival or if the non-plane-spotting rooms are fully-booked.

The hotel does not have taxi booking service. The staff told me to order Grab to pick me up to the airport.
