The Rixx Lavish Apartment in the central of Dist1 with pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, kidsclub

First Impressions

Walking into The Rixx Lavish Apartment in the central of Dist1 with pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, kidsclub, you immediately get that “wait, this is a three-star place?” feeling. I mean, the name pretty much tells you everything — they’re not being subtle about the amenities here. The lobby has this modern, clean vibe that honestly feels more upscale than the rating suggests, and you can already hear kids having a blast somewhere in the background from the kids’ area.

Location & Getting Around

The location on Nguyễn Đình Chiểu in Ho Chi Minh City is actually brilliant — you’re right in the heart of District 1 without being stuck on one of those crazy busy streets that never sleep. It’s one of those spots where you can walk to Ben Thanh Market in about ten minutes, but you’re not dealing with constant motorbike noise at night. Couples seem to really get this balance, which makes sense since the area has that perfect mix of energy and romance, especially when you’re strolling toward the Saigon River in the evenings.

The Apartment Setup

What surprised me most was how spacious the apartment felt — these aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms. You’ve got a proper living area that actually makes sense to hang out in, plus a kitchenette that’s more functional than I expected. The room itself has this clean, minimalist thing going on with decent air conditioning (trust me, you’ll appreciate this in Saigon’s heat). The whole setup works really well if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two.

Facilities That Actually Matter

Here’s where things get interesting — the pool area is genuinely nice, not just some afterthought on a rooftop. The sauna and jacuzzi are clean and well-maintained, which honestly isn’t always a given at this price point. The gym has the basics covered, nothing fancy but enough to keep your routine going. What I really liked was how they’ve managed to create separate spaces so families with kids and couples can both find their vibe without stepping on each other’s toes.

Why Guests Love It

You know what really works about this place? It’s that sweet spot where you get way more than you’re paying for without any of the stuffiness that comes with higher-end hotels. The staff actually seems to care about making your stay work, and there’s something refreshing about a place that delivers on its promises — when they say jacuzzi and kids’ club, they mean it. The 8.6 rating makes total sense once you’re there; it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just doing the apartment-hotel thing really, really well. Plus, having your own space with hotel amenities in the center of District 1? That’s honestly hard to beat, especially if you want to feel like you’re living in the city rather than just passing through.
