I love the location! The Riverside is a quiet oasis in District 2. The complex is where a lot of long term residents live so one doesn’t feel like it’s a hotel. You see lots of families and kids. I really love the beautiful tropical grounds surrounding the property and the big pool. It’s perfect to get your laps in after a long day running around the city. The restaurant is excellent and the people who work there are very nice. I especially enjoyed the setting alongside the Saigon river. Another little bonus is the water taxi and bus service to downtown, so you don’t need to spend as much in taxis. The Riverside also has free laundry machines if you don’t mind doing your own laundry!

The decor of the rooms is getting a bit dated. If I ran the place, I’d freshen them up and redecorate. That said, the beds are comfy and I slept very well. Note that the electrical outlets are possibly the British version. The Riverside provides adapters

We lived at Riverside for almost three years. Due to Covid, we couldn't get back to visit until this past week. We were so excited to see our old home and stay here in the hotel rooms as guests. The apartments are home to several expats, but also hotel guests. The space is still as green and inviting as we remembered it. We were able to connect with old friends, ride the fun boat a few times, enjoy beers while watching the cargo boats pass by, and ride bikes around Thao Dien again to see how it has changed over the past two years. Housekeeping is always great and they come every day! We are a family of four and stayed in a two bedroom apartment with a nice working kitchen and two full sized bathrooms. There are several new restaurants and grocery stores on the main street in front of Riverside's entrance. It was very comfortable to have our own space and have our friends over. We hope Riverside is able to stay the way it is for many years to come despite the development around them and we hope to visit again in the future.

Taxi's were harder to get this time, but that isn't Riverside's fault. Covid has made it harder to have taxi's around, but Grab is still an option and the kind staff will also help you if you need a taxi.

The location of theses apartments in District 2 is excellent. There are some lovely restaurants in walking distance as well as an upmarket deli/supermarket and beauty salon. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. The pool area is beautiful overlooking the river. The apartments are large and we had maid service every day, they were quiet and spacious.

It was a shame that the restaurant wasn't open as there was noise from the renovation, however I am sure it is going to be open very shortly. This was our second stay and we did notice that the apartments are starting to show wear and tear and are going to need renovating.

the complex that our apartment was situated on was fantastic and felt very safe and inviting. our apartment was more than adequate for our needs with two bedrooms and two bathroom facilities. huge living area and separate kitchen to use if you wanted to cook. there is a laundry which you can use for free in an adjacent block. also a lovely pool situated by the river. we didn’t use the breakfast or spa facilities.

noisy air conditioning. also don’t forget to press the hot water switch if you want hot water. not much about outside of the complex though there is a shopping centre and busy town about 15-20 minutes walk away. lots of building work going on which was a bit noisy.

The overall setting o the complex is goo enough. It has all the things that one would need. Depending on the length of the stay, there is almost anything available, from football / basketball courts, to swimming pool and gym. The staff at the reception is helpful enough and immediately when you walk out of the complex, there is a nice variety of restaurants, shopping mall in 10 minutes walk. The apartment has almost anything you would need. Again, it also has to do with the length of your stay (I was there 1 night, so did not use most of them).

Unfortunately, there is a large building being built next to the complex, and there is some noise from it ( I know the staff can't do anything about it, but be aware during your booking). The apartment is kept clean, maintained, but it looks old. The furniture is coming to the end of its life, some of the AC units were making some strange sounds and the electrical sockets have a different lay-out (I think type G). Because of the grounding pin also acts like a safety, if you want to plug in a phone charger (example C type), you either need a travel adapter, of some creativity, to unblock the safety (I used a plastic pic I had on hand). They have one universal adapter in the apartment, but it does not work.

The location is amazing. Pool amazing. Nice views and a silent spot in the big city with noise around. I liked the contact with nature there. Good location if you are tired of noisy HCMC. Lost of bars resto just outside the main entrance. I canceled earlier due to an unexpected business trip and they accepted it, although not without long discussions and support of Booking.com service. After all very positive place.

Somehow I did not have a good vibe in this apartment. Maybe because it was the ground floor and got woke up at night with all the parking cars next to my bedroom? Bit strange layout. Having some teacups in the kitchen would be great. The lock to the entry door was broken and I reported it upon arrival. It was never really repaired during my stay and I actually was able to fix it myself later (it was blocking) but I bet many people will have the same drama. The place is safe in general but when you have such problems in a new place it is not very comfortable.

Great for kids! Staff, restaurant, pool, tennis, equipped apartment, on sight store, laundry, security even a river boat and shuttle bus to the action in District 1. Staff available for private lessons tennis, swimming, etc. Well planned and managed community.

There was nothing I didn't like. Maybe add an activity director for kids activities a few times per week. That would be another nice amenity to add to the excellent existing line up.

The rooms were large with good air con. Bed very comfortable. We tended to use one of the many nearby restaurants for breakfast, would recommend Snap and R House, a dog rescue cafe! Lots of lovely places for dinner nearby. The complimentary boat trip to H.C.M. was great, though crossing the road when we got there was a big challenge. I had a full body massage on site which was very relaxing if a bit rough in places!

Excellent location for D2 and very scenic being right on the river. Great swimming pool and lovely grounds. Coastal Restaurant offered good food with a lovely view. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious but slightly dated.

Riverside offers great facilities for this part of HCMC. However, you are a 30 minute taxi ride from the city centre and 45 minutes from the airport.

Restaurant shut for renovation. Pop up pool bar serving limited menu was ok. Staff being trained for when restaurant reopens very friendly. Lovely riverside pool. Location is great away from the busy city, but easy to walk to good bars and restaurants or take taxi (cheap) into centre of HCMC. Reception staff very helpful.

Would have liked a do not disturb sign for apartment door. Needed bigger tea cups or mugs.
