 My triple room by SirRichard I found by chance this little guesthouse where they had a triple room left. As it was late in the evening they offered me to stay there for the price of a single, but with the possibility of having more guests in the other 2 beds if they happened to come later? At the end nobody else came, so I stayed all alone there in that big room with 3 fans and ensuite toilet, in the 1st floor. The stuff were nice. When I left the last day, they let me leave the luggage there and even take a shower in the evening before my bus left.

 ok, not quite as nice as the Reunification Palace by richiecdisc We had found a room our first night in Saigon but were unhappy about the overall cleanliness. So, in the morning, I went room hunting while Doreen slept a couple extra hours. I checked a lot of places but was intrigued by one tailor shop that had a sign advertising rooms for rent. I went in and asked the seamstress about her rooms and she said she had one for $8. I asked to see it and was surprised when not only she took me up three flights of spiraling stairs to see it but also her pretty assistant. Once in the room, it was obvious that my $8 would not only get me a room. It was a nice room so I told her I would take it and they were both perplexed when I said I would be back in an hour with my girlfriend! On my return with Doreen in tow, I was told that the room was now $12. We got a room across the street for aforementioned price.
Across the street, we were told they had a room, but it had to be cleaned. We went up to see it anyway and found a “maid” sleeping soundly in our future bed. The owner jarred her from her slumber and told her to move in so many Vietnamese words. She did and we were told the room was ours. Not entirely satisfied with this maid service, we pulled the sheets off the bed and asked for another set. We put them on and still slept in our sleep sacks. Other than that, it was a great room with a very cold air conditioner. The location was great, very close to lots of places to eat and drink. On my scouting expedition, I found the Capital Laundry at 107 Bui Vien that also offered rooms. It was by far the nicest room I saw with a balcony, lots of plants, and was well worth the $10 they were asking. It was full but I would certainly go back there if I was ever in Saigon again.

 Lobby, Caravelle Hotel by bpacker This is a five-star, cushy hotel, smack right in the major shopping district of HCMC. So it's not surprising to find that it's a tad pricey compared to other hotels. Apart from the price however, expect top-notch service from this swanky place , warm smiles from staff, great views from the room and an excellent watering hole (Saigon Saigon) on the 9th floor. Of course, you'll wonder why the hell did ol' bpacker choose to stay there right? Well I wouldn't be here if not for hubby..
This hotel has a lovely lobby that overlooks the Grand Opera House. Guess you can say they have a grand entrance. Also, they have genuine bath salt in the bathroom for your soaking needs. Hmm lovely, I did just that after an exhausting day of crawling around the cu chi tunnel.

 MdmCucHotel64 by xuessium The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Location was just great, very centralised. You can arrange for the hostel to pick you up from the airport for about US$5. The staff were helpful, warm and can get playful with you, once they get to know you better. Ran by an efficient team of ladies, they make you feel right at home. The rooms are basic, but spartan clean and comfortable. The staff see to that, banning foot ware from ever reaching the floors with the rooms by enforcing the rule that you deposit all foot ware on the shoe racks. For the price you pay, breakfast (delicious baguette and Vietnamese coffee) and dinner (noodles) are included. What more can you ask??
Great warm services. Nothing beats that! Services of a hotel in a hostel!! Note: Mdm Cuc also runs MC 184 Hotel and Hotel 127. Same chain.

 An An 2 Hotel - check out the power lines! by betska, 1 more photos This hotel is in the Pham Ngu Lao area. We found this to be a great area to stay in Saigon. Plenty of great bars & restuarants and also this is where we were able to book all our day tours and on going travel. We had a room on the 5th floor so had a great view over some of the rooftops, and saw some day-to-day life of some of the neighbouring locals. Our room had 3 single beds, clean crisp white sheets, very clean, modern bathroom and a room safe - the only one that we had in all our travels in Vietnam. We paid US$12 each per night here. It was the most expensive place that we stayed for the whole of our trip but we were very happy here. The staff were lovely as well and there was free internet in the foyer.

Palace Hotel overlooks downtown and the Saigon River and is perfectly located for everything the city has to offer. If you are travelling on a low budget this is the hotel for you. Palace Hotel is situated in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, 7 km from Tan Son Nhat International airport and right in the administrative and commercial area of the city. The rooms are very clean and offer views of Sai Gon (see my pictures) although the coffee lounge disco at the second floor can be loud at times since it is a prime hotspot for saigon's young Urban Professionals! I Stayed here for 2 days then moves to the nearby Bong Sen Hotel at the Back.
Palace Hotel is one of the well-known and luxurious hotels in District 1. It is also near to the shopping areas of Dong Khoi and Nguyen Hue Streets, like Lucky Plaza and is only a walking distance to Saigon River for a Saigon River Cruise, Ho Chi Minh Statue square and People Committee Building and many commercial buildings, traditional boutique shops and entertainment venues are all around the hotel. There are lots of good in-house services, including a large, open pool area, a good restaurant overlooking a funky little fountain area, a big bar area, and BS massage services wherein you can get a 30% discount. The staff are used to international clients and service is quite efficient for the price. 10 Minute walk to Benh Thanh Market, 15 minute walk to Malaysian Owned Parkson Dep't Store, 10 minute walk to Saigon River and Vung Tau Ferry. 8 Minute walk to Kem Bach Chang Ice cream, Givral is just beside it and rex hotel & People's Comittee Bldg & Ho Chi Minh Statue is just a 3 minute walk from here.

 | Rex Hotel: Most Famous Hotel in Sai Gon!

There are a variety of rooms, but all are large and clean, with fluffy carpets and kitschy bamboo detailing everywhere. The lampshades are big royal crowns, which are a hoot. There's good indirect lighting throughout. Some of the suites have beaded curtains and Christmas lights over the bathroom mirrors. The beds and pillows are firm but fat, and there are good views from some balconies. The Rex is in a great downtown location, across from a square that has a lively carnival atmosphere at night. It is also known for its rooftop bar, with its panoramic Saigon view. The pool is small, just a toe-dipper, but it's in a quiet courtyard. Amenities here cover all the bases, if you can find them in this labyrinth.
During the French time, the Rex began as a two-story garage located in the heart of commercial center of Saigon. Between 1959 and April 1975, Mr. and Mrs. Ung Thi, a Vietnamese couple purchased and renovated it into a six-story building with 100 guestrooms and renamed it as Rex Trading Center and then the US Information services rented much of the premises for office and residential use. The remaining space housed three cinemas, a cafeteria, a dance hall and a library. During the Vietnam War, the Rex was a favorite watering hole for American officers. Renovations have seen it return to some of its former splendor. Many of the city's best shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. The hotel also has three restaurants, including the famous Rooftop Garden where you can enjoy a drink or a meal overlooking the busy streets below.

We stayed here for 3 nights, in a very central location - and were not bothered by noise at all. The hotel itself was charming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and all of the amenities in the room were in good condition. The breakfasts were excellent, and had the largest range I have seen. We were visiting as a family, and had 2 comfortable rooms. There were many restaurants nearby, and shopping easily accessed if required. We were close to the river, and travel booking shops, easily able to walk to most of the central city sights.

 | Bong Sen Hotel: Good Location at Dong Khoi Street

The Bong Sen is a bland but affordable and convenient downtown operation. It always offers special rates, and especially good ones if you contact the hotel directly -- you can't beat paying as little as $56 to be right in the heart of the city in and among the likes of the Sheraton and the Caravelle. The place is always busy, though, so be sure to try to book in advance. Rooms are large and plain, with a standard host of amenities; everything is clean and works.
Bong Sen Hotel was awarded one of top ten Vietnam hotels in 2001. the Mangostine Cafe serves International and seafood buffet; Catinat Box Bar offers a quiet place with elegant atmosphere for relaxation. The Vietnam House offers traditional Vietnamese cuisine (The BEST! see my vietnam house photos!) plus the Buffet GANH serving vietnamese buffet, also good!; The Brodard Cafe and the Delicatessen provide specialties of French, Italian Asian food with a wide delicious home-made pastries, bakeries, cakes and ice cream. Walking distance to everything like 11 minutes to Benh Thanh Market, 3 Minutes to Rex Hotel, 2 Minutes to Municipal Theater, 16 Minutes to Parkson Mall.
