We stayed at the Rex for a total of 5 nights. The Hotel is still under renovation for one of its wings. Truthfully, in terms of the room design, it really is nothing great. However, what made us decide on the hotel was its location. To me, personally, I find this hotel most conveniently located if your intention is to explore the city centre. My husband and I like to explore places we visit by foot whenever possible. With this hotel, we could walk to Ben Thanh market, Notre Dame Cathedral, Post Office and including the very high recommended restuarant Quan An Ngon by many of the VT members here, very easily and all within 5 to 10mins!
Service there was so-so. On our first night, we were checked into a room where the airconditioning was not working. After numerous attempts by the hotel staff in fixing the air-conditioner, they finally got us another room and we had to make the shift at 9+ at night. To appease us, they gave us each free internet access for an hour as well as two drink vouchers which we redeemed for beer.
Of course, the rooftop garden here is a main attraction. It is not very nicely decked out but I guess it is kinda cool to be there sipping a beer and thinking about the US correspondents who were once doing the exact same thing at the exact same place.
Unique Qualities: Great location!
