Not really. you can bring in any vb into the room for those 2 or 3 stars hotels. No extras when bringing the vb up.I think the reception just want some of $$.

I emailed blue diamond hotel, they said i can bring anyone as long the room i booked is for 2 person. End up, i paying the extra $35. Even shown them the email, also useless. So, Blue Diamond Hotel is out for my future trip to HCM.

Hope some bro can help to contribute and add the list of which are the REAL GF friendly hotels and which are the bogey.

Hi...I ever stayed before in that hotel.Some of these hotels charge 'fees' for bring gal to stay overnight which is actually the people on shift trying to make some money for themselves...

That time we stay in that hotel the night shift receptionist saw us bringing gals in late at night and want us to pay usd$10 each and i told him to fuck off,just simply brush him aside as we went up lol. The reason we were so firm was because morning we already confirmed with their supervisor at recept when we checked-in....

If u dont stand firm between right or wrong, not say vietnam,alot places these locals will try to rip u off. HCM oly 4/5* hotels will not let u bring gals in or even negotiable(open another room for your gal) or just 10pm cutoff...Mostly these 3* hotels all no problem anytime anyday u bring gal in as long as bring id register at counter.....Good luck have fun,chiong wisely

yeah. some receptionist will try their luck.
just insist. anyway 3 stars and below is a good guideline.

Not my experience if 5* and part of large international chain (e.g. not Caravelle) - no problem whatsoever. We checked-in together with no issues and nobody asked any questions in the evening or when she entered in/out after 10pm by herself.

This was at the Ren and the Pullman.

Not particularly observant as i hv a guide, did not notice mutton soup.
I asked the uni girl where has many local food n she brought me to Go Vap district, to a few streets near the Go Vap market / universtity has lots of food shops n street vendors.
Maybe u can try looking there.
