If yes, then let me take you through my experience at Citadines Regency Saigon. Nestled at 20-22 Pham Ngoc Thach, this beautiful serviced apartment complex might just be the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and luxury that you’re looking for.
In this blog post, I’ll give you a detailed look at my time staying at Citadines Regency Saigon and why this spot could be your next go-to destination in Ho Chi Minh City.
What is Citadines Regency Saigon?
First things first, let’s break down exactly what Citadines Regency Saigon offers. Located in District 3 at 20-22 Pham Ngoc Thach, the serviced apartments here stand out because they provide the space and privacy of an apartment with the luxury and services of a high-end hotel. You’re not just getting a bed to sleep in but an entire home away from home, complete with modern amenities.
During my stay, I found it to be the perfect combination of convenience and luxury. The location, right in the heart of Saigon, means you have everything you need at your fingertips: great food, local attractions, and even shopping areas. The moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, setting the tone for my stay.
Why Stay at Citadines Regency Saigon?
Experience the Ultimate Comfort
One of the things that stood out to me was the comfort the apartments offered. There’s a unique mix of modern design and local charm in the apartments, making it both relaxing and refreshing to be there. I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment, and let me tell you, it was spacious! There was a comfortable living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a cozy workstation where I could work (though, let’s be honest, I spent most of my time lounging in the living room).
The bed itself was soft yet firm, and I had one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while. It’s a feeling you can only understand when you’re truly staying there—like home, but better.
Location, Location, Location!
I’ve stayed in many places around Ho Chi Minh City, but the location of Citadines Regency Saigon is unbeatable. The apartment complex is in District 3, an area known for its local charm and vibrant streets. Whether you’re into shopping, food, or sightseeing, everything is within reach.
You can grab a bite at one of the many local restaurants or pop into a nearby café. I loved strolling around the Pham Ngoc Thach street, which was just a few steps away from my apartment. It’s not overly crowded, but it offers a glimpse of real Saigon life. You’re also just a short drive away from the Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, War Remnants Museum, and Ben Thanh Market.
Tip: Rent a bike or motorbike if you really want to explore the streets and alleys like a local!
What Makes Citadines Regency Saigon Stand Out?
Amazing Facilities
Citadines Regency Saigon goes the extra mile with its facilities. I could easily see why so many travelers choose it. Apart from the fully-equipped kitchens in the apartments, there’s a gym, swimming pool, and rooftop terrace. I personally loved the rooftop. After a long day of exploring the city, it was the perfect place to unwind while taking in stunning views of the Saigon skyline.
Here’s a list of some other amazing facilities that make this place stand out:
- 24-hour front desk – Always someone there to help with anything you need.
- Housekeeping – Your apartment is cleaned regularly, so no need to worry about a thing.
- Laundry service – You don’t have to go far to get your clothes washed.
- Meeting rooms – For those of you on business trips, you’ll love the fully-equipped meeting rooms.
Friendly and Professional Staff
The staff at Citadines Regency Saigon made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. The team made sure all my needs were met, whether I needed directions, suggestions for food, or even help with booking tours around the city.
I remember asking about a local market, and they didn’t just give me directions—they arranged a private guide to take me there. It’s this level of attention to detail that made me feel like a VIP guest during my entire stay.
Affordable Luxury
Another thing that impressed me was how affordable the luxury experience was. Many upscale hotels in Ho Chi Minh City come with a hefty price tag. However, Citadines Regency Saigon offers much more value for the price. The spacious apartments, amenities, and top-notch services were well worth the cost. It’s a perfect option for those who want to experience luxury without breaking the bank.
A Perfect Blend of Work and Play
Business Travelers Will Love It
One of the best parts of staying at Citadines Regency Saigon is the option to combine work and play. The business center and meeting rooms are equipped with everything you need to work remotely or have meetings without leaving the property.
When I stayed here, I was able to set up my laptop in the apartment, but I also took advantage of the co-working spaces provided. I met a few digital nomads and business professionals there, all of us working while enjoying the surroundings. It was the perfect balance of work and relaxation.
What About Families?
If you’re traveling with family, Citadines Regency Saigon has got you covered too. The apartments are designed to be spacious and family-friendly, and there are amenities to entertain the younger crowd. There’s even a kids’ pool, which was a hit with the little ones. Parents can unwind in the adult pool while keeping an eye on their kids.
For families who want to experience both the city and comfort, this is a great option.
What to Do Near Citadines Regency Saigon
Explore Local Markets and Temples
There’s no shortage of things to do around 20-22 Pham Ngoc Thach. One of my favorite things to do was explore the local markets in the area. The Tân Định Market was just a short walk from the property, and it was the perfect place to pick up souvenirs or sample street food.
If you’re into culture, don’t miss out on visiting the Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica and the Jade Emperor Pagoda. Both are iconic landmarks that tell the story of the city’s history and offer beautiful architecture. Trust me, you’ll want to snap a few photos for your travel album!
Food, Glorious Food!
Now, let’s talk about the food. If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love the variety of restaurants around Citadines Regency Saigon. I spent several evenings dining at Pho 2000, which is just a stone’s throw away. Of course, if you’re not in the mood to go out, you can always whip up a meal in the comfort of your own apartment. The fully-equipped kitchens in the apartments made it super easy for me to cook a quick meal after a long day.
Nightlife and Entertainment
If you’re into nightlife, District 3 has plenty of options for bars and lounges. Saigon has a fantastic nightlife scene, and I enjoyed visiting a few rooftop bars and local pubs. Rooftop 67, for example, offers stunning panoramic views of the city and is just a few minutes away from the property. After a day of sightseeing, nothing beats a cocktail on a rooftop while watching the sunset.
