My Verdict: The Bitexco View (And the Madness Within)

Alright, after this overwhelming list, let's get down to brass tacks. This place is Ho Chi Minh City's BEST View: 2BR Bitexco Luxury w/ Tub! Seriously, that view. That view. It's the star. Forget the endless amenities; it's the soaring panorama from the Bitexco Financial Tower that will leave you breathless.

The Good (and the potentially really good):

The View, My God, The View: Okay, I wasn't kidding. You are up there. Like, literally above everything else. Imagine waking up to the sprawling cityscape, the Saigon River a shimmering ribbon below. I'm talking "Instagram-worthy" times a million. Sunset cocktails from the apartment? Forget it. You’re basically royalty overlooking your kingdom.
The Tub: Luxury with a capital L. And that tub with THE VIEW? Yes, please. Bubble bath, glass of something fizzy, and world-class people-watching (from above, of course). Pure, unadulterated bliss.
Space: Two bedrooms! This isn’t a shoebox hotel room. You get room to breathe, to actually live. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone who just wants to spread out and feel fancy.
The Amenities (Maybe?): The list is daunting, but here’s the thing: the fitness center, the spa, the pool with a view… they sound amazing. Let's be honest, I'm easily seduced by a good sauna. And after navigating the manic energy of HCMC, a relaxing massage or a chilled-out swim is basically a requirement. Fingers crossed they deliver.
Cleanliness & Safety (The New Comforts): Okay, the whole "anti-viral cleaning" thing is a bit overkill (we get it, the times are strange) but it gives you a sense of safety. A good start.
Internet: They REALLY want you to have Wi-Fi! (See above, many mentions)

The Honest Bits (Where I Get Slightly Moody):

The Price Tag (Probably): Luxury comes at a cost. I'm guessing this isn't a budget backpacker's dream. But, hey, sometimes you gotta treat yourself, right? (Tell myself as I furiously check my bank balance).
The Crowds (Potentially): Sharing a building with a bunch of folks… It could be a bit of a busy vibe. But hey, people are there for the view, to have fun.
The Paradox of Choice: So many amenities! It can be overwhelming. You’ll spend half your trip just figuring out what to do. Then again, maybe that's a good problem to have.

Quirky Observations and Anecdotes:

Okay, let's be real. I'm a sucker for a good view. Years ago, I stayed in a tiny room in a hotel in Switzerland and had to stand on the toilet lid to see the Alps. This? This is the opposite. No toilet-lid acrobatics required. Just… epicness.

And imagine the photos! You know those ridiculously staged vacation pics? This place practically begs for them, and not in a cheesy way. It's just… gorgeous. Then again, if it all goes wrong, you can hide in that luxurious bathtub and cry. It's a win-win!

Final Conclusion:

Ho Chi Minh City's BEST View: 2BR Bitexco Luxury w/ Tub! sounds like a

SGRoyal 2BR ⭐️ View Bitexco ⭐️ with bathtub ⭐️ Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the gloriously chaotic mess that is my SGRoyal 2BR ⭐️ View Bitexco ⭐️ with bathtub ⭐️ Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam adventure! This isn’t your polished, Instagram-filtered itinerary; this is the REAL DEAL. Expect spontaneity, meltdowns, questionable food choices, and a whole lotta love for Vietnam. Let’s go!

Day 1: Arrival & Sensory Overload (aka, The "Holy Crap, I'm Here!" Day)

Morning (10:00 AM) Flight Landing & Taxi Terror: Landed at Tan Son Nhat Airport. Okay, first impression: humidity. Like, a biblical flood of it. Navigating customs was surprisingly smooth, but the taxi situation? Gah! Felt like I was bargaining my way through the Black Market. Ended up paying way too much because, well, I'm a sucker. Lesson one: research reputable taxi apps BEFORE you land. Note to self.
Afternoon (12:00 PM) The SGRoyal Reveal & Bathtub Bliss: Finally, finally arrived at the SGRoyal. The lobby was swanky – a good sign! Then… the apartment! And the view! The Bitexco Financial Tower, right there, practically begging to be admired. And the bathtub… oh, the bathtub. I did a little happy dance right then and there. Honestly, the bathtub was my primary deciding factor. Don't judge.
Afternoon (2:00 PM) Pho Fiasco & Street Food Frenzy Time for lunch! Stumbled upon a tiny pho place down the street. The broth was… interesting. Let's just say I've had better. But, the sheer energy of the place! The vendors, the scooters whizzing by, the chattering locals… it was captivating. I even attempted to eat some deep-fried spring rolls from a street vendor. Let me tell ya, those spicy sauces were the devil's work and my taste buds were burning!!
Evening (6:00 PM) Rooftop Bar Rumination & The City's Symphony: Pre-dinner drinks time! Hit up a rooftop bar for panoramic views of the city. Seriously, the Bitexco lit up the night sky like a neon beacon. Sipping a Saigon beer, watching the city lights twinkle, that was what I call a moment of "Okay, I'm really here, and this is amazing." It almost made me overlook the fact that mosquitoes had apparently decided my ankles were the buffet.
Evening (8:00 PM) Dinner Disaster: Went for a fancy dinner. Turns out, fancy doesn't always equal delicious. The food was pretentious and the service was slow. I was hangry by the time the main course arrived. I didn't even finish it. Lesson number two: trust your gut and stick to casual, local eateries. (And maybe pack a granola bar.)

Day 2: History, Headaches & The Hunt for Coffee

Morning (9:00 AM) War Remnants Museum & Emotional Overload: Decided to get serious and visit the War Remnants Museum. Brutal. Honestly, emotionally draining. Seeing the photos, reading the stories… it completely floored me. I'll be honest, I needed a good cry. It was a stark reminder of the human cost of war. I'm glad I went, but prepare yourself. It's not for the faint of heart. (And maybe bring tissues.)
Morning (11:00 AM) The Independence Palace & a Brief Detour: Took a quick walk around the Independence Palace after the museum. It felt more… sanitized after the weight of the previous place. Still, it was interesting to learn about the different points of history.
Afternoon (12:30 PM) Street Food Salvation!: Went on an adventure and found a local food stall. They were serving Bun Cha. This time, the food was delicious.
Afternoon (2:00 PM) Post Office & Notre Dame Basilica - A Tourist's Gotta Tour: Okay okay, time for some touristy stuff. Visited the Post Office (beautiful architecture!) and Notre Dame Cathedral (still under renovation, but the view itself was amazing!). Found myself wandering a bit, getting momentarily lost in the crowds, but hey, that's part of the fun (right?).
Afternoon (4:00 PM) Coffee Craving & The Perfect Ca Phe: The relentless humidity was getting to me. Coffee was non-negotiable. Found a tiny cafe known for its ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk). Pure. Bliss. Seriously, the best coffee I've ever had. I may or may not have had two. Okay, three. No regrets. This deserves a whole section to itself:

The Great Ca Phe Quest: My mission, should I choose to accept it (and I did), was to find the perfect ca phe sua da. I started with the "tourist trap cafes" - they were decent, but not divine. Then, I discovered a tiny, no-frills corner cafe. The barista, a wizened old man with a twinkle in his eye, was an artist. He ground the beans fresh. He added just the right amount of condensed milk. He poured it slow, with care. The result? Pure caffeinated euphoria. I returned every day for the rest of my trip. The ca phe was so good, it's the only thing that made me leave him a massive tip.
Evening (6:00 PM) Ben Thanh Market & Sensory Overload, Part Deux: Time to embrace the chaos of Ben Thanh Market. Prepare yourself. It's a whirlwind of smells, sounds, and hawkers. Okay, maybe I over-bought souvenirs (that silk scarf was just begging to come home with me!). Negotiating is a must, but sometimes I just caved. I bought a dragon fruit and tried to eat in public, which was a big ol' mess.
Evening (8:00 PM) Dinner & Dinner Disaster, Part 2: This time, I tried a vegetarian restaurant. The menu said 'delightful'. The waiter said 'fresh'. I was very wrong. The food was so bland, and honestly, unappetizing. I ended up stopping at a street food stall and having a bowl of Pho to take the taste away. I can't believe I am already dreaming of my bathtub again!

Day 3: Exploration, Exhaustion & Bittersweet Goodbyes

Morning (9:00 AM) Cu Chi Tunnels & Claustrophobia Okay, okay, I'm not claustrophobic, BUT the Cu Chi Tunnels? Intense! Crawling through those tiny tunnels, imagining what life was like during the war… it was another sobering experience. The heat down there didn't help. I definitely felt a little panicky. I’m glad I went, but I also understand why not everyone can.
Afternoon (12:00 PM) Relaxation & The Return of the Bathtub: Back to the apartment! I spent some time relaxing, drinking coffee, and staring out the window at the Bitexco. That view never got old. And of course, I spent some time luxuriating in that glorious bathtub. This time, I put some bath bombs in and enjoyed a cocktail.
Afternoon (2:00 PM) City Sightseeing & Attempting a Final Meal: I tried another restaurant. This one was in the expat style, but oh the taste of disappointment! I was tired, and I was ready to go!
Evening (6:00 PM) Packing & Pre-Departure Blues: Packed my things. The trip was ending! I didn’t want to leave. I felt the bittersweetness of departure.
Evening (8:00 PM) Final Sunset & Departure: One last Saigon beer on the rooftop bar, watching the sunset. The city was beautiful from above at night. Said my goodbyes. The taxi ride to the airport was thankfully uneventful. Adios, Vietnam. I'll be back!

Final Thoughts:

This trip wasn't perfect. I ate some questionable meals. I got lost. I got ripped off. I cried more than I expected. But it was real. It was an adventure. It was a mess. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Vietnam, you stole a piece of my heart. And that bathtub… it's calling my name.

P.S. - Remember to pack comfortable shoes, an open mind, and a sense of humour. You'll need all three! And tip generously – the locals deserve it. And for goodness' sake, learn at least a few basic Vietnamese phrases. It will be a welcome sight.

Ho Chi Minh City's Best View? 2BR Bitexco Luxury - Let's Get Real! (And Soaked!) ✨

Okay, seriously... is THIS view actually the best in Saigon? Because Bitexco looks kinda… tall.

Alright, deep breath. The "best" anything is subjective, right? But stepping into that 2BR suite felt like… winning the lottery, then accidentally stubbing your toe on the prize. Bitexco IS tall. REALLY tall. And yeah, you get the iconic city view. From up there, the city sprawls out like a crazy quilt, the Saigon River snaking through it all. At night? Glittering fairy lights city-wide. It's breathtaking. I mean, I cried. But not, like, a "glorious, I've-achieved-nirvana" cry. It was more a "holy-crap-this-is-amazing-and-I'm-slightly-overwhelmed" cry. And also, the air conditioning was *fantastic*. That's important when you're sweating from pure, unadulterated awe. Or slight anxiety. Either way, yes. It’s a damn good view.

Seriously, tell me about the tub. Is it Instagram-worthy, or just a fancy drain?

Okay, the tub. The glorious, possibly-too-big-for-a-human-being tub. First off, picture this: You've spent the day battling the chaos of Saigon traffic. You've eaten enough pho to fuel a small army. You've haggled like a pro (or, you know, tried). Then, you're back in your little slice of luxury. And there it is. The tub. It's Instagram-worthy, yes. But more importantly… it’s sanity-worthy. I'm talking *deep*. You can actually *submerge* yourself. My first thought? "This is where I belonged my entire life." Second thought? "How much bubble bath can I reasonably use without causing an actual foam eruption?" The answer, by the way, is: a lot. Maybe too much. But it was glorious. Just pure, unadulterated, soaking bliss. I mean, it's probably the best part of the whole deal. The view? The location? Secondary to the tub. Don't @ me.

What kind of "vibe" does the apartment have? Is it all pretentious, or...chill?

Look, luxury can be a minefield of overly-stiff furniture and staff who seem genuinely terrified of you. This place? Surprisingly chill. Yes, it's sleek. Modern. But it's also… comfortable. The decor is stylish, sure, but not in a "don't-touch-this-it's-a-sculpture" kind of way. I accidentally spilled coffee on the pristine white couch. I braced myself for the wrath of a thousand hotel gods. Nothing. They just smiled. Maybe I got lucky, but it didn't have that sterile, "you-don't-belong-here-unless-you-wear-a-tie" vibe. It felt… livable. You know? Like a grown-up playground. A playground with an incredible view and an even more incredible tub.

Is the location convenient? I hate wasting time in traffic!

Okay, here’s the truth: Saigon traffic is a beast. A raging, honking, two-wheeled beast. Bitexco's location is *good*, not perfect, ok? It's right in District 1, which is where you *want* to be. Loads of restaurants, bars, and attractions are within walking distance or a short Grab ride away. But, and it's a big but, you're *still* in Saigon. Meaning, expect traffic. Trying to get anywhere at rush hour is like trying to herd cats while riding a bicycle. So, yes, convenient-ish. Definitely better than being stuck way out in the suburbs. Plan your days accordingly. And embrace the chaos. It's part of the charm. Also, did I mention there's a giant tub to relax in after you escape the madness? Right.

Okay, the price… is it worth the splurge? What's the catch?

Let's be real: it's a splurge. You're not going to find this as cheap as a hostel. But is it worth it? Okay, I'm going to get real personal here and this may sound crazy, but there were times when I did things I probably shouldn't have. Like charging a bottle of champagne to the room, fully knowing I’d have to answer some tough questions when I got home. I *knew* I'd regret it later. And I kinda did. But staring out that window, in that tub, sipping that champagne… honestly? Absolutely. The catch? The price. And maybe the post-vacation credit card bill. But the memories? Priceless. And the tub… that's worth more than money can buy at this point. Seriously. Just… budget accordingly. Maybe skip the extra massage. Or, you know, live a little. It’s your life. I will say this. I'm still thinking about that tub. And that view. Sigh...

Anything bad? Anything at all?

Okay, honest moment. The coffee maker in the apartment... was a bit of a mystery. I'm a coffee addict, and I could NOT figure that thing out. Failed miserably every morning. I ended up having to find a local coffee shop downstairs, which wasn't exactly a hardship, but still... Also, and this is a SUPER minor quibble, the elevators could be a bit busy at peak times. Waiting for an elevator wasn't my favorite thing, especially when I was itching to get back to that tub. But honestly? That's it. Everything else was pretty damn fantastic. I tried really hard to find something to complain about. I really did. But the view was too good, the tub was too perfect. So I gave up. I succumbed to the luxury. And I liked it. A little too much, probably.

Would you recommend it? Be honest!

YES. Absolutely, wholeheartedly, YES. If you can afford it, just do it. Don't overthink it. Life is short. Saigon is amazing. The view is incredible. The tub is the stuff of legend. Go. Soak. Enjoy. And then, when you get back home, start saving for the next trip. Because trust me… you’ll want to go back. I already do. And I’m still paying off the bill. But I don’t care. It was worth it. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to look at pictures of tubs. And, maybe, secretly google flights back...
