Ho Chi Minh City Hotel Tips by goldcoaster

We weren't actually supposed to stay at the Rex but our travel agent, who happens to be an old friend from university, arranged an upgrade without telling us. It was a bit of a surprise to exit HCMC airport and be whisked into a Mercedes as a transfer.

I really liked the sense of history in this place. I love history so to sit in the room the 5 o'clock follies took place in was great. Plus the best coffee in HCMC is at the Rex.

The rooms were nice without being fantastic but well appointed. The central location of the Rex makes it a top place to explore the city by foot without the need for transport.

They have a handy tour desk at competitive prices and an internet cafe. The rex has all you could need.

Unique Qualities: The rooftop bar and restaurant. To sit up there and watch the sunset over the Saigon River truly is one of lifes pleasures.
