Day 10 of 100: Hotel Raider: Hotel Majestic Saigon

Uncompromisingly first class hotel opposite the Saigon river. Everything about this was what you would expect from a 5 Star establishment which has been there since 1925.  Part of the charm of the hotel is its historic nature, which is played up in copies of various old b/w photographs which line the walls. The room was fine and the bathroom nice. Staff were all very helpful. Breakfast is served on the 5th floor in a space half of which is outdoors, half indoors. On one day it was raining and so everybody was crowded into the indoor space which made things rather chaotic, but the next day the sun came out again and breakfast was a more peaceful and spacious affair. There was a wide range of food on offer for breakfast, including a good variety of freshly prepared fruit.
