MKA Summerset Rivergate Residence

MKA Summerset Rivergate Residence is an apartment in District 4, 1.2 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts that overlook the Saigon River and the city. The apartments sit on a quiet street, and check-in and check-out are private, with a lift and 24-hour security in the building. The three-bedroom unit suits a family or a group of up to six, while the one-bedroom apartment is the most compact choice at 32 m².

Every apartment has air conditioning, a fitted kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware, a washing machine and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Free WiFi, a sun terrace, an outdoor swimming pool and a coffee house on site complete the offer. The equipped kitchens suit travellers who prefer to cook and do their own laundry, and the larger apartments give the most room to spread out.

The property has three apartment types, and each one has a private bathroom, air conditioning and a kitchen. The One-Bedroom Apartment, the smallest at 32 m², has one large bed, a terrace, and river and city views. The Two-Bedroom Apartment, at 75 m², adds a second bedroom and a sofa bed for up to four guests, and the Three-Bedroom Apartment is the largest option at 111 m², with pool views and room for six.

The bed layouts differ. The Two-Bedroom Apartment combines two large beds with a sofa bed, and the Three-Bedroom Apartment on a high floor has two large beds, a double bed and a sofa bed. Every type includes a washing machine and free toiletries, and the two larger types add a dining table, so they work well for families and small groups who want separate bedrooms.

Free WiFi is available in the rooms, and the apartments come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and internet services. A minimarket and a coffee house are on site, and the property offers luggage storage and laundry for guests who need them. Non-smoking applies throughout the property.

The sun terrace has sun loungers or beach chairs, outdoor furniture and pool or beach towels, and the outdoor swimming pool needs a reservation 12 hours in advance. Upper floors are reached by lift, which helps when you are carrying luggage.

Parking is public and paid on site, costing VND 15,000 a day, and no reservation is needed. Security covers the building with 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas and a security alarm, and check-in and check-out are private.

The apartments stand on Ben Van Don, a street in District 4 that runs along the Saigon River, about 1.2 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. The neighbourhood is residential and lived-in rather than touristy. Hang Phan Market is 100 m away and Kim Liên Pagoda 200 m, while the restaurant Nhà Hàng Sinh Thái 155, 50 m away, is the closest restaurant. Vinh Hoi Catholic Church and Chùa Bồ Đề are also within a few hundred metres, so temples and markets sit close to the front door.

Saigon Railway Station is 3.3 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 6.4 km, so both are reachable by taxi. The Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station is 1.2 km away, and the Sai Gon Hydrofoil Terminal, 1.3 km away, is the pier for hydrofoils on the Saigon River.

For sights further afield, the Ho Chi Minh Museum is 1.1 km away and the Fine Arts Museum 850 m, both short taxi rides from the apartments. Nha Rong Wharf, 1.1 km from the building, is a riverside spot for watching traffic on the Saigon River. Khanh Hoi Park is a short walk from the building, and Cau Dua Market, 600 m away, is a neighbourhood market for everyday shopping. The Mong Bridge and the Biệt thự Nguyễn Văn Hảo are also nearby.
