Rivergate Apartment Saigon

Rivergate Apartment Saigon is an apartment in District 4, about 1.1 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with lake and garden views and a rooftop swimming pool. The apartments are self-catering, with a kitchen fitted with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware, so you can cook your own meals between trips out. The property also has a garden, a terrace and a bar.

The range runs from 29 m² studios to two 83 m² two-bedroom apartments, several with a sofa bed for an extra guest. Free WiFi covers all areas, and most units have air conditioning, a washing machine and soundproofed walls. Family rooms are offered, so the larger apartments suit families or small groups travelling together.

The apartment suits travellers who want a self-catering base close to the centre, with a choice of sizes and a rooftop pool to return to after a day out.

The range has six apartment types, from studios of 29 to 31 m² to two 83 m² apartments with two bedrooms. Every type has a private bathroom. The two larger apartments include a living room with a sofa bed and a kitchen; the River View version adds a second bathroom, a balcony and a terrace, while the other has one bathroom and a patio.

The studios differ mainly in their beds. The 30 m² studio has an extra-large super-king double bed and a sofa bed. The 29 m² studio has a king-size bed and a sofa bed, plus a separate toilet, and the 31 m² studio has one king-size bed and suits two guests. The last studio sleeps up to four, with two double beds and a sofa bed.

The shared facilities centre on the outdoor side of the building: an outdoor swimming pool and a rooftop pool, a garden and a terrace, sun umbrellas, and sun loungers or beach chairs, with pool and beach towels provided. A bar serves the property.

Parking is private and on site. It does not need a reservation and costs VND 4,000 per day. Family rooms are available, and the property is non-smoking throughout, with non-smoking rooms as well. Each apartment has a private bathroom, and air conditioning is part of the general facilities.

Internet services are also offered, alongside free WiFi in all areas, and most apartments have a flat-screen TV.

Rivergate Apartment Saigon is on Bến Vân Đồn street in District 4, a mostly residential district about 1.1 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. The street is quiet, and the nearest places are small and local: Kai Coffee - Cửa Hàng River Gate Residence is 50 m away, and Nhà Thiếu Nhi Quận 4, a children's cultural centre, is 400 m away. Cafés and small restaurants line the streets nearby, so coffee and a simple meal are close at hand. Bến Vân Đồn runs along the Saigon River, so an evening walk by the water starts at the door.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 6.3 km away. Ben Thanh Station, the Metro Line 1 station that sits in the centre of District 1, is 900 m away, and two bus stations, Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn (1.1 km) and Bến xe Sài Gòn (1.2 km), are the nearest for onward buses. Several apartment types have a river view, so the riverside setting is part of the stay.

For a short walk, Hang Phan Market is 200 m away, and the streets around the property hold several pagodas and churches, including Long Buu Pagoda and Vinh Hoi Catholic Church. Nha Rong Wharf is 1.1 km away, on the river, and it is where Nguyen Tat Thanh, later Ho Chi Minh, left Vietnam in 1911. The War Remnants Museum is 2 km away, and the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, with its collection of Vietnamese paintings and sculpture, is 800 m away.
