Dear Kevin, you have made my Saturday, sitting in rainy Amsterdam and watching your truly spectacular hotel review! I have been following you for some time and now I'm completely sure that you are te BEST hotel reviewer on RU-vid! Context, knowledge, eye for detail, enthusiasm and objective reporting are really world class!I have booked another hotel in Saigon for my first visit o Vietnam BUT after watching this review I have booked Park Hyatt! Thank you very much for all of your hard work and big respect from me👏🙏

@tfft Год назад

Great choice! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@uclabruin2186 Год назад

100% agree with your review! PH Saigon was phenomenal! Best breakfast I’ve ever had at any hotel and service was impeccable. I asked about congee at breakfast and even though it wasn’t on the menu, the waiter went back to ask the kitchen staff and requested a bowl for me.

@tfft Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it too!

Nice video Kevin. You’re one of the best RU-vid hotel reviewers out there and your judgements I think are spot on, and exactly how I would also judge a hotel and score it after 10+ years living in Asia. Agree with this score of Park Hyatt Saigon and your score of Como Uma Ubud 100% ( 2 of the top 5 hotels in Asia in my opinion ) If you get the chance, I would recommend reviewing The Bvlgari Bali, The Datai Langkawi, and The Surin Phuket (my other top 5 hotels in Asia. I think they will also get a 98+ score on your channel. Cheers and keep up the great content!!

@tfft Год назад

The Bulgari has been on my short list for Bali for quite a while, but have yet to pull the trigger. Hopefully will make it to Langkawi next year and certainly Datai will be at the top of my list. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@trauden7684 Год назад

Completely agree. I'm a Hyatt fan and was at the Park Hyatt Saigon in March. This place is amazing. The staff was professional, courteous, and friendly from the front door to check-in and beyond. Location just couldn't be any better. All the major attractions are just around the corner or within short walking distance. Sad to see that Hyatt is raising it from category 4 to category 5 but it definitely deserves it. I was shocked to find that it was only at category 4 previously.

@tfft Год назад

Yeah tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a Cat 6 in a few years after the Okura, Mandarin and Ritz Carlton are open and market pricing responds.

@tfft Год назад

Thanks very much for that- much appreciated 🙏

@nef.spring Год назад

We stayed here for 4 nights in Feb 2023. Absolutely love it . Price is a little high compared to those hotels nearby. We ordered 6 coffee cups and were charged like 1 million đong ( around USD 50) which is quite expensive. You can pay for less than 10 dollars in cafe shop nearby Breakfast included and was quite good . The staff are friendly and helpful It’s close to many touristy attractions around within 1 mile radius Hope you enjoy your stay there as well

@zamrunikhalid Год назад

I stayed there in late 2018. And it was as wonderful as you described it. Truly one my best hotel experiences ever, especially the breakfast service. Excellent quality food with superb service staff. Hotel services in Vietnam are usually good but this is really the next level. It's difficult to find service staff as conversational and, as you mentioned it, unscripted in Vietnam as I found in Park Hyatt Saigon. Thank you for bringing back the memories

@tfft Год назад

Was nodding my head as I read your comment. You are correct, it's that scripted vs. unscripted quality which really define good service in Vietnam since the VAST majority of even the best hotels and resorts in the country rely on cookie cutter scripts, some more elaborate than others. This is why I think the PH is in fact better than all of the $1000+/night resorts in the country. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@add8305 Год назад

Great video and I completely agree. I’ve been lucky enough to have stayed at the Park Hyatt Saigon a number of times and it is simply amazing. I would also say that the Sofitel Metropole Hanoi is (or was the last time I was there) on a par and well worth a visit. Keep up the great work!

@tfft Год назад

I absolutely loved the Sofitel Metropole when I was there and reviewed it, but in retrospect, I don't think it comes even close to the PH in Saigon. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@terencelee00 Год назад

Great review. I have been staying at this hotel on and off for work since 2011, including some intense stints where I stayed for long periods of time. Agree it’s lovely, a real respite from the chaos and heat outside. The rooms are homey and comfortable and the restaurants are understated luxury. It’s a privilege to stay there and I can’t wait to return.

@tfft Год назад

Consistency like that... I think thats the biggest compliment and testiment to great management on earth. Such a great thing to see.

OK, this video was much anticipated, lve stayed in my share of "Park Hyatts" some that definitely had room for improvement, so l came to this video with my armour on just ready to nit pick and l knew EXACTLY what to look for, but l couldn't find it. Damn Kevin, it is as impressive as you stated 👏 👍. Also kudos to you for responding to each and every comment, lm careful how l "spend" my YT currency and have personal experience with channels (not necessarily travel reviews) that have 25-35k subs that some how think they are WAY better than those bigger channels and cannot "keep up" often accessorising themselves with MODS. Each and every comment is responded to with a personal reply, and l truly take my hat off to you for all your hard work 👍

@tfft Год назад

Yes, I'll be honest with you, I really don't understand the lack of connection between many (most?) creators and viewers. Maybe it's becuase I'm from the restaurant industry and it would be a sin to not reply to a review online, but... I just think it's a worthwhile part of the process. I'm very sure some day I won't be able to get to all of them, but even if you've got 1 million subs, if you post once or twice a week the least you could do is sit down and reply to every comment in the first hour after publishing (or something like that). Engagement- every click, comment, thumbs up, etc- drives RU-vid to suggest videos, but I guess a little known fact is that the creator's replies are weighted just as heavily as a viewer comment in the algorithm, so they're just doing themselves in for it. Anywho, thank you as always for watching. I have two more Park Hyatts coming up in the nearish future... for both of them, feel free to be in full armour hahaha.

Once again a truly outstandingly beautiful property which exudes grace, style, elegance but not in a overpowering way. It is hard to believe that this property is in Vietnam a country that for most of us in the US has a negative stigma. Thank you so much for expressing your opinion and showing us why it is that you feel so strongly about the grand dame the Park Hyatt Saigon.

@affirmationstoday Год назад

What a great review. Just looked up for my September travel and its not too bad a price. Yes a lot for Ho Chi Minh but very reasonable for global 5 star. (still out of my league) Walked past a few times last year and was impressed. I agree with what you say about good reviews dosent have to be expensive or the biggest, I stay at a 3 star in Sanur (holiday inn) and the staff make it, just blow you away with the service and remember your name your name etc, I feel good there and will be there in a few weeks again. Your next review Viet Jet - I can give one now and it wont be good. Thank you again🙏👍

@tfft Год назад

The amount of crap Vietjet gets is quite phenominal lol. I've probably flown them more than any other airline on earth and have never had a serious problem. Delays (up to an hour) are to be expected but I rarely have had delays of more than 20 minutes. Perhaps my 50ish flights have all been outliers haha.

@denisesommer-roque3169 Год назад

Speechless indeed 😮 What a beautiful, elegant and stylish hotel without being garish or over the top 💫 Understated luxury instead of nouveau riche bling. As you stated, hard to invoke this style and atmosphere in a hotel that is so relatively new. You did the beauty justice by filming a lot of the artwork, lighting, flowers etc. Your stay must have been a feast for all the senses and makes me want to go there. Thank you for another gem! 🙏🏼

@user-hjsjdhs23sdf Год назад

I live a stone's throw away (on Dong Khoi) from the Park Hyatt, Saigon. I've been there many times over a several year period for meals and entertainment as well as "staycations." And I have to tell you that while the property is quite nice and impeccably designed, the general service (not counting dining which is really good) is inconsistent and at times even absent. If you stay there a few times you might notice the lack of consistency. As one example, often times there is no doorman present and no one to greet you upon entry. Other times there is a door man. There are quite a few other issues (nothing major but it's all about expectations) which should cause the experienced traveler to raise their eyebrows. I have spoken to management about issues I've had and they were largely defensive as opposed to being responsive. It turns out that the hotel is run by some Europeans and at least one Aussie. Based on the service issue, I would have thought the hotel was more under local management. Is the hotel really nice? Yes. But when you're a top-end Hyatt property (in fact the premier Hyatt property in Vietnam) charging $350+/night in Saigon, you'd better be spot on with service...all of the time. While I've been there some times when everything was wonderful, there are times when there are quite a few issues. Normally I don't trust Google reviews or other internet reviews for that matter. But upon checking to see if anyone else spotted issues, I read that in fact they had. I don't know if it was comforting to know that others found issues or that others found issues in such a high end property. In my experience, the Reverie has the Hyatt beat hands down in terms of service (but is too over the top in design and extravagance) which is actually a bit surprising considering the standard you'd expect from an American leading luxury hotel brand. I'm glad that you had an awesome experience at the Hyatt, but luck may have been on your side that day.

@tfft Год назад

I (and family) have actually stayed at the Park Hyatt multiple times over the year- this time just being the first since I've had the channel and by chance the best experience of all of them. Based on my experiences over the years I'm surprised to hear your comments but to each their own. As for the Reverie, it fits a niche, but the service- while attentive- is scripted straight out of a book and just feel really unnatural to me. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@user-hjsjdhs23sdf Год назад

@@tfft Yes I agree service at the Reverie can seem a bit unnatural, but it IS professional and consistent. And they treat you quite well...everyone, at all times. They make you feel special. I don't always get that feeling at the Hyatt. I've even been at the Reverie dressed extremely casual and received the highest level of treatment. Not so at the Hyatt, not for me anyway. And remember, the Reverie is a single hotel...no chain, fairly new, and not a multi-billion company unlike the Hyatt. So I can't cut the Hyatt any slack.

I had a dream trip to Vietnam planned for April 2020, but due to that bloody virus, it got cancelled. I’m now planning again for 2024. I’d love to visit either of the big cities then on to somewhere smaller with a great beach. Current the options are Metropole in Hanoi followed by FS Hoi An; or Park Hyatt in Saigon the Six Senses Con Doa. Your films are inspiring, I love watching them. But it really does sound like there isn’t a bad option.

@loveaodai100 Год назад

Another great review and happy to see something so nicely written about our Saigon! I arranged a regional conference there in 2008 with about 50 delegates coming from all over Asia and Europe and everyone loved it. The hotel is pure elegance with a local spirit which can’t be said for many new properties using modern tones. Two of the competing five star hotels in the area also did major renovations some years ago but unlike the Hyatt… I think the pre renovation designs were nicer. As for the water… please let me suggest that Dasani is simply purified water which is totally different from mineral water which Europeans seem to prefer. The Dasani packaging may be less appealing than say Aquafina but I think the water is identical or nearly so being simply purified water. I may be wrong but do wish to share what I think is the case.

@tfft Год назад

To be clear about my water opinions, becuase apparantly they're controversial... no five star hotel on earth should be providing mass-produced purified water (Dasani, Aquafina, etc). If they are providing RO water in glass bottles, then I can accept that- but otherwise, natural mineral water of any brand (preferably in glass bottles...) should be the standard.

@Johnny847 Год назад

@@tfft My spouse prefers the purified water so it can be used in a CPAP machine. With so many hotels providing their own branded bottled water, this doesn't bother me. The room size in this hotel does bother me. When we travel in Asia, we usually have at least two 24" suitcases plus a collection of carry-on bags. Just unpacking the electronics and the CPAP (just one), would cover every available surface. We don't demand a suite size room, but the lack of surface space would just bug me enough to not stay here.

@tfft Год назад

I was traveling with family who had 5 bags in their room (3x 28/30”, 2x 20/22”) plus non wheeled carry ons and the staff setup the room within five minutes of arrival. With the luggage racks they had 3 of the 5 bags setup to access anytime. Could have fit a 4th rack as well but it wasn’t necessary, plus one more open in the closet. Didn’t feel cramped at all. To each their own. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@hungcuongnguyen293 Год назад

What you said about the origin of the Park Hyatt hotel is 100% true . I used to live in this area , on Dong Khoi street ( former Tu Do str. and before that rue Catinat during the French colonization ) not too far from the Continental hotel . The Brink's building was bomb attacked twice because it was believed to be the headquarter of the CIA during the wartime . I still remember the whole area was shaking like an earthquake .

Hello Kevin, my husband and I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. Your comments are much appreciated and we will certainly stay at the PH next time we visit Saigon. I was wondering though, since you seem to travel full time, if you can also put out videos on other aspects travelling besides hotels and airlines reviews, such as best travel insurance, best credit cards, etc.... Additionally, I also hope that you can group your videos into categories and sub-categories for ease of search, such as Hotel reviews --> Thailand --> Phuket, Airline reviews --> Japan, etc... Again, much appreciate all of your hard work, as we understand how time consuming it is to record and edit prior to posting.

@tfft Год назад

Thanks very much. To be honest, I have no time to be able to make such videos. I cannot edit while on the road and when home, I edit 12-14 hours per day haha. For Credit Cards I am starting to post some content on my Patreon in that direction, but it's doubtful there will be videos about it (from me) anytime soon. As for the categories, most of my playlists on the channel are categorized and titled based on location. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

We stayed here last year and loved it. The breakfast is still the best in the Hyatt system! If you are in Hanoi, you have to try Gia Restaurant for elevated Vietnamese tasting menu!

I have stayed at PH Saigon and Taj Mahal Palace several times. Taj to me was far superior every single time. The history, the magnificence and the details provided by Taj Palace is second to none. For example, I had a small surprise everytime I left my room in Taj and came back in. Those kind of small details never happened to me at PH Saigon. I very much enjoy your videos and look forward to future reviews.

@tfft Год назад

To each their own. The facility of the Taj is superioer but I found the service at PH to be much much more natural and conversational. Service at Taj was good, but it was formal enough to feel quite limiting.

@petercowling6769 Год назад

Thanks for another great video. Best in Saigon, for sure. Best in Vietnam? As you say, people's mileage will vary.

@tfft Год назад

The service styles in the other "best" hotels in the country is simply too scripted for me. The key here was the natural and conversational style. But, to each their own. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I wouldn't say this is this best best but top 2 in HCMC. Reverie Saigon is certainly more opulent and modern, Park Hyatt for it's timeless charm. Both having top notch service and amenities.

@tfft 9 месяцев назад

Agree to disagree. I'm personally not a fan of the Reverie. Service is near entirely scripted and just feels a bit artificial on the occasions I've visited. Thanks for watching 🩴

@tfft Год назад

I have, but before I had the channel. It is precisely as over the top and beaufiful as any video will show but the breakfast was quite basic and the service was stiff, scripted and unconfident. This was years ago though, things may have changed- I do to this stay regularly eat at their Long Bar which has always been great.

@The Flip Flop Traveller When I stayed it was in s not so nice area. But the back of the hotel did have a boat drop off spot. Also Vietnam was(don't know if they're done) building a Metro station above ground within a 5 min walk of hotel

@The_Turd_Ferguson Год назад

The Dasani water probably has to do with the contract they signed with Coca-Cola and may be required to put it in the room. Based on that assumption, dinging the hotel may not be 100% fair. I am making a common assumption so i could be wrong. Either way, really well done review. Thanks for posting.

@tfft Год назад

Yes I'm sure it does and I actually wrote that into the script but couldn't fit it in the final cut. Thing is though, no one forced them to sign that contract lol. I used to have my own contract with Coca-Cola VN when I had my restaurants and no where in it was I forced to serve Dasani 😅! A hotel like this should be spending actual money on their bottled water... not trying to get a free supply.

@The_Turd_Ferguson Год назад

@@tfft ah, this is true. Guess thats the difference in being corporate vs mom and pop. Still, it looked like a terrific stay and I have that city on the bucket list of places to visit. The restaurant looks fantastic.

@tijothomas-cw9ef Год назад

Hello Kevin, this is an amazing property for sure But It would be more accurate to say this is one of the “best city hotels” in Vietnam. Overall, I wouldn’t even say this is a top 5 hotel in Vietnam. There are much better ones such as Amanoi, Four Seasons Nam Hai, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Six Senses Con Dao & Banyan Tree Lang Co.

@tfft Год назад

Wholeheartedly disagree… but thanks for disagreeing almost verbatim to the way I predicted at the end of my video 😂😂😂

@tijothomas-cw9ef Год назад

Haha yes 😂 I just think its important to differentiate city hotels from resort properties as it serves to completely different clients. Also from my experience, I thought the service was also better at places like FS, Aman and Six Senses (while the cost was also significantly higher)
