Ho Chi Minh City Hotel Tips by jolou

I fully recommend this hotel as somewhere to stay on De Tham Street. It's about a 2 minute walk from the Sinh cafe and is positioned on a corner with a large souvenir shop at the entrance. We stayed there on 2 seperate occasions on our trip, room prices between $12 and $15 (no breakfast).

The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are quite spacious & clean with a great view from the surrounding balconies of the bustle of the area. Be prepared for a bit of noise though!

We stayed at the Rex for our final night in Saigon after deciding to blow the budget and live it up in the roof terrace bar. We paid $90 for a room including buffet breakfast.

The Rex hotel is huge and easy to get lost in. At the moment (April 05) there's a lot of renovation work going on so it did feel as though we were staying in a half-finished hotel!

The rooftop pool was handy for some final day sun-torching and the breakfast was great. Check before you stay there though on the progress of the work going on as it will be much better once finished.

We stayed here for 2 nights as the reservation we had made at the Spring House Hotel fell through when they didn't have a room for us!

The 211 was fine, $15 for a room including breakfast. Nothing particularly significant about it though, I warmed much more to the Quyen Thanh Hotel just around the corner.
