Ho Chi Minh - Asian Ruby 3 Hotel

Located at 100 Le Lai Street, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. Sometimes the taxi stops across the street, other times it'll drive up to the slope in front of the hotel!

The hotel bellboys were very helpful. They even came out and crossed the street to get our luggage when we had just arrived and was having slight difficulty in crossing the busy road.

retro looking phone

The hotel has free internet wifi! Woohoo! Plus points.

twin deluxe room

power socket underneath the table

safe and minibar (just remember that the slippers are not complimentary~)

The room was well equipped, and the bed was nicely soft and comfortable. Just that the room doesn't have much of a window view. Mine looked out to a staircase corner.

bathtub with rain and handheld shower

reminds me of CSI....

toothbrush (and paste), shampoo, cotton bud, shower cap and comb

Just remember to bring your own shower gel because it is not provided. You'll also need to bring world travel adapter, as the power socket expects slanted legs.

complimentary drinks (the kettle is inside the bathroom)

Breakfast is provided, so we usually ate in the hotel. Breakfast ends at 10am.

breakfast spread

There's the usual bread corner and you can toast your own bread. The breakfast spread usually includes eggs, bacon, sausages, small muffins and cakes, juices, coffee/tea/milk, cereals, fruits, mini-springrolls with vegetables, fried rice/noodles/pasta, meat item such as stewed pork ribs/stewed beef/squids/chicken, porridge and soup. There's also a pho booth.

mix of everything

yummy mini-spring roll

pho

minced pork porridge but they called it "ground meat soup"? The spring roll and vegetable was added by me for decoration.. hahaa

this cake is yummy and sweet!

freshly toasted bread (by yourself of course) with butter and cheese

remember to put some ice into the concentrated juice

bacon and egg on bread smothered with butter, equals yummy! Too bad don't have baked beans

plain porridge with salted egg and fish floss (quite salty)

There were some minor variations for the breakfast items from day to day, so it wasn't that boring on the second and third day. Quite good for a 3-star hotel, imho.
