Hi 9835, due to the government policy for the hotels, some hotel which are 3.5 stars and above will not allow u to bring Vietnamese girl into room unless you are willing to pay the lady fine for them to the hotel. Is best to email the hotel, because some of the hotel might close one eye.

Hi bros,

I'm planning a trip down to hcm in December, and I would like to thank all the bros who have contributed knowledge to this thread. It has definitely helped me a lot.

My only query is, has any Bros stayed at hotel nikko saigon and was able to bring girls up to their rooms? I would like to try hotel Nikko as their rooms look very good.

If not, can any bros recommend any luxury hotels that will allow guests to bring girls up?

Thank you

Now I'm confused!

I thought that it's not government policy but actual laws against all prostitution and thus 4 and 5 star hotels will just NOT allow any lady visitors to the rooms after a certain hour in the evening.
That it's not a matter of "lady fine" (like in Thailand etc) - just no overnight lady, period!

Appreciate clarification with thanks beforehand

you are half right and he is totally wrong...all hotels are not supposed to allow unmarried couple into hotels regardless of ratings...only those 1-3 stars closed one eyes and dun report to the authorities...

after 9pm those 4-5 stars hotels will not allow any guest who are not married to the patron to be in the same room...guest must leave by 9pm becos all guests are registered and ID deposited to the reception counter ...

no such thing as lady fine in any hotels...all the bribe to bell boy or hotel staff are personal arrangements and not reported...

Nikko Hotel is not gal friendly hotel...luxury hotels means 5 star hotels...

Thank you for your advice bro hurricane.

I read your website on information about hcm, would you kindly recommend which gal friendly hotel is the best? It would totally suck to book a hotel and realized no overnight visitors allowed.

I am staying at grand silver land. Any body encounter not allow to bring girl in?

First I will use H88 list of hotels.

Second I will agoda.com to read the reviews.

Third I compare price and location.

The review in Agoda is pretty accurate base on hotel I book in HCMC, DaNang, Hoi An, Hui, Can Tho, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand.

Location you choose is important, you should choose base on what you want to achieve in HCM.

if you are willing to spend $$$ on luxury hotel then you can get a good 3 star hotel which is gal friendly and order a top range suite...still cheaper and you enjoy more...

bro natto3 just recommend Luxe hotel...and get a suite la...

Liberty hotel allow the woman to stay at the room when you paid lady fine, which is half of the room price. I had try hotel which stated 4 stars which allow me check in with Vietnamese ladies. Sammy hotel is one of them which located in dalat, Sea side resort in vung tau too. which are all 4 stars, which don require to pay additional fines.

already said no such thing as lady fine in Vietnam...what you booked might be a special price room using agoda for 1 person...if you want to check in 2 person then you need to pay additional...next time make sure you book hotel for 2 person even using agoda...we experienced that in Hue City...so the hotel dun allow the gal to stay overnight becos we paid special price for 1 person...we need to pay additional charges if gal will to stay overnight...

when we booked hotel in Can Tho same thing...room for 2 person and 1 person varies a bit...

From the agoda website, the list of gal-friendly hotels include Signature Saigon Hotel, Ruby River Hotel, La Jolie Hotel, Cap Town Hotel, Luxe Hotel, Tan Hai Long 3 & 4 hotels, T. Espoir Saigon Hotel, Sunflower Central Hotel, Silverland Hotel & Spa, Ellyse Nha Khach Hotel, Ho Sen 1 & 2 hotels, Ha Hien Hotel, Lien An Hotel, King Star Central Hotel, Kelly Hotel, Ha My 1 & 3 hotels, and all A & Em Hotels.

GK Central Hotel is not gal-friendly as you'll need to book another room under the gal's name. Blue Diamond hotel is also not gal-friendly as you need to pay additional USD 10.

Remember to ask your gal to bring along her ID or passport for registration at the hotel reception.

From the above list of hotels, I would like to share with all some of my complaints:

a) Signature Saigon Hotel - Walls are wafer thin. I'm always woken up by the cleaners chatting along the corridor in the morning.

b) La Jolie Hotel - Hot water during shower is not always available. It is very difficult to control the water temperature during shower. Breakfast is fantastic though.

c) Tan Hai Long 3 Hotel - Receptionists are not honest. Plenty mosquitos at breakfast area. But hotel is next to Bitexco Financial Centre and 5 minutes walk to my favourite Mee Satay stall.

d) Silverland Hotel & Spa - They used 2 small beds to combine into a huge bed. Not comfortable for cuddling with your partner. Breakfast is fantastic though.

e) Lien An Hotel - Bathroom is small and it serves the worst breakfast.

f) King Star Central Hotel - Breakfast is terrible and room can get noisy at night.

Samsters would notice that all the hotels which I have listed are located in D1.
My apologies to samsters looking for hotels in other districts, as I rarely venture out of D1.
