Complaints of noise from outside and neighboring rooms
Liberty Central Saigon Centre Hotel is an upscale spa property located just steps from the famous Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City. Popular primarily with tourists, this hotel offers 140 contemporary rooms in a soothing palette, with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea kettles. A convenient location, coupled with ample facilities that include a rooftop pool, a gym, three dining options, and an elegant spa, make this a solid option. However, some rooms suffer from noise and have poor views of neighboring buildings.It's worth comparing rates with sister property Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel, which has river views from its chic rooftop pool and some rooms.
Scene
Sleek and simple property that mostly sees tourists
The hotel's marble-floored lobby gives off a grand, airy vibe with polished granite floors, an oversized black-and-white photograph of a woman riding in a rickshaw, and a tall pedestal of fresh flowers. Simplicity is the first impression, which continues in the mostly neutral-tone rooms. The other communal spaces are more colorful, though; the Central Restaurant has brown patterned carpet, light-blue walls with orange tree motifs, and mustard-yellow accents, while the Bistro has black leather seating amid lots of magenta. Due to its central location, guests are primarily tourists, though a few business travelers also stay here.
Location
Convenient setting in the heart of the city
Liberty Central Saigon Centre is located on a narrow and busy street, lined with restaurants and convenience shops. It's within a 10-minute walk of several popular Ho Chi Minh tourist attractions, including the Saigon River, Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Ben Thanh market. Business guests will likely appreciate the proximity to the business district, as well. The Tan Son Nhat International Airport is about a 30-minute drive away. Taxis can be hailed right outside the hotel.
Rooms
Contemporary, neutral-tone rooms with modern amenities
The 140 rooms are contemporary and comfortable, outfitted in neutral tones that are pleasant, if a bit uninspired. The design consists of simple blond-wood furniture, either gray carpeting or light-wood flooring, white sheets topped with light-pink bed runners, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of light. Some have more decorative tufted cream headboards, and all have a few small framed works of art. Bathrooms are sleek and simple as well, equipped with walk-in showers or showers and separate bathtubs, as well as wall-mounted hairdryers and basic toiletries. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and safes. The Liberty Central Suite has a sitting area as well. Note that some past guests have complained of outside noise and noise from neighboring rooms. Some rooms have city views, while others look out at a wall.
Features
Rooftop pool and three dining areas
The hotel offers a decent amount of features for leisure and business guests. A small rooftop pool is surrounded by a handful of loungers and has views of the city.

The on-site spa has a small steam room and sauna, a large lounge area, and offers massage services. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
Dining-wise, the Central Restaurant serves Asian and Western fare both buffet-style and a la carte.
