Somerset Vista Ho Chi Minh City

Somerset Vista Ho Chi Minh City is a 5-star aparthotel in Thao Dien, 7.0 km from the city centre, with apartments of 108 to 125 m² that combine full kitchens with separate living rooms. It suits longer stays, families and groups of up to six who want room to spread out.

The grounds include a garden, an outdoor swimming pool and a spa pool, as well as a fitness centre, a sauna with a steam bath and an outdoor tennis court. Every apartment has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a kitchen with a washing machine, refrigerator and oven, and a bathroom with a bath and free toiletries.

The setting is quiet and residential, with shops and cafés close at hand, so the property suits people who want a calm base rather than a hotel district.

Somerset Vista Ho Chi Minh City offers five apartment layouts, all with a kitchen, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, and each includes a sofa bed for an extra guest. The One-Bedroom Apartment, at 108 m², is the choice for two travellers, while the Executive and Premier Two-Bedroom Apartments, at 108 and 115 m², sleep four.

The two three-bedroom layouts sleep six. The Executive version measures 120 m² and the Premier 125 m², and both have two extra-large double beds, a large king-size bed, a single bed and a sofa bed. Between the two-bedroom pair, the Premier is 7 m² larger and has a second bedroom with a double bed rather than a large bed.

The grounds include a garden, an outdoor swimming pool and a spa pool, with a fitness centre, a sauna, a steam bath and an outdoor tennis court alongside. Guests can also relax in the lounge, and the whole property is non-smoking. Upper floors are accessible by lift, and wake-up calls can be arranged.

The 24-hour front desk handles laundry and meeting facilities, and the staff provide daily housekeeping. A safety deposit box is available, and the apartments include a dining table, a desk, a seating area and hardwood or parquet floors. Ironing facilities are available in the apartments.

Breakfast is Continental and is not served as a buffet on site, so guests who want it rely on external vouchers. Private parking is possible on site, but it needs a reservation and charges may apply. WiFi is available in all areas free of charge.

Somerset Vista Ho Chi Minh City stands on Hanoi Highway in Thao Dien, a residential neighbourhood across the Saigon River from the city centre, where many expatriates live. The Vista complex, with its shops, cafés and restaurants, is close by, and nearby dining includes Quán Kitchen Seoul, Pepper Lunch in Estella Place and The Fan Club restaurant. Metro Hypermarket and An Phu Supermarket are within a 5-minute walk, and St. Michael the Archangel Church is 250 m away, the Pháp Viện Minh Đăng Quang pagoda 350 m and Cantavil Park 850 m.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 8.3 km away and Saigon Railway Station 8.5 km, and the 24-hour front desk can arrange an airport shuttle. The city centre is 7.0 km away. Most guests reach the centre by taxi or ride-hailing car, and the journey takes longer at rush hour. The Bến Thảo Điền ferry terminal is 2.7 km from the property.

Công Viên Thảo Điền, a park 1.3 km away, is one of the green spaces for early walks, and the Chợ Bình Trưng market 1.9 km away serves daily shopping. The Zoo and Botanical Garden, 5.4 km away, suits a family day out, while the War Remnants Museum, 7.2 km away, is best reached by taxi or ride-hailing.
