G8 Riverside Hotel & Rooftop Skybar has four room types, and all of them share the basics: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe and a bathroom with a bath or shower, bidet, toilet and free toiletries. Each room has one large king-size bed and is set up for up to two guests. Floor areas run from 20 to 30 m², so you can choose between the compact 20 m² rooms and the larger options in the range.

The types differ mainly in their views and outdoor space. The Deluxe City View gives a city outlook, and the Grand Deluxe River View, at 22 m², is the room for the river. The Riverside with Balcony is the largest at 30 m² and the only one with a balcony, while the Superior Queen Room, also 20 m², has a king-size bed despite its name. Every room comes with a bathrobe and slippers.

Every room has air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, along with a wardrobe or closet and a clothes rack. The bathrooms are fitted with a bath or shower, a bidet and a toilet, and they come with towels, slippers, toilet paper, free toiletries and a bathrobe. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, and non-smoking rooms are available.

Guests can use a 24-hour front desk and room service, and internet services are offered at the hotel. The free WiFi is available in the rooms, and the reception staff speak English, Vietnamese and Chinese. Parking is not available, so travellers arriving by car will need to arrange somewhere else to leave the vehicle.

The bar is the only food and drink outlet among the facilities, a convenient place for an evening drink.

G8 Riverside Hotel & Rooftop Skybar stands on Võ Văn Kiệt street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, where markets, pagodas and churches are packed into a small area. Phung Son Pagoda is 250 m away and the Hang Phan Market 300 m, while St Anthony's Catholic Church is 400 m and the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum 500 m. Quang Trieu Assembly Hall, a temple, is also within a few minutes' walk, so the streets right outside the hotel are worth a walk in their own right.

Ben Thanh Station is 650 m from the hotel, and Ben Thanh Market, one of the best-known markets in the centre, is 850 m away on foot. Saigon Railway Station is 3.1 km off, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport, which lies in Tan Binh north-west of the centre, is 6.2 km from the hotel. Both the station and the airport are a longer trip than the walk to the market, so plan the first and last legs of your stay around them.

On foot, the streets around the hotel lead to Nha Rong Wharf, 800 m away on the Saigon River, a historic wharf on the river. Tao Dan Park, 1.3 km away, offers a green space in the middle of the city, and the War Remnants Museum, 1.8 km away, covers the years of the war. Nearby restaurants include Ngoc Châu Seafood and Bún Gỏi Già Thanh Nguyễn, both 150 m away, for a meal close to the hotel.
