We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a room that was noisy since it was on the same floor as the cleaners which woke us up with their chatter early in the morning. At night we had to leave the washroom fan on because our room was beside the alley which was noisy as all crap going through there.... More

We stayed at the Asian Ruby 2 on a few occassions. The price is a little steep but then again it is HCMC and the hotel is very well situated. The rooms are of average size and the beds are comfy. We found the staff to be friendly and always willing to assist us with tours or onward travel and... More

Despite a confirmed booking for 2 deluxe rooms which was made many months prior to our arrival date, we were brought to nearby Asian Ruby 4 hotel due to being fully booked. The following day, Asian Ruby 2 convinced us to make good of our reservation for the remaining days in Ho Chi Minh by giving discounted rate for the... More

Hotel room was ok, with a nice balcony overlooking the street. Location was good. This hotel is really only a 1* maybe 2* hotel. Staff were only 1*. Worth only $20 per night max. The worst breakfast we have ever experienced. Even when a fresh batch of overcooked eggs or bacon were bought out they were stone cold. We only... More

This wasn't the hotel I've booked I was sent here because all the rooms at Asian Ruby 3 was sold out. I've prepaid at Agoda but it seems that Asian Ruby hotels sends people back and forth whenever they are fully booked. The location of Asian Ruby 2 is very convenient for tourists as it is near Ben Thanh market... More
