We had a 5 night stay in the Rex, the first room we were put into had a strong smell of fumes and we couldn't open the windows. After spending one night in it waking up with a headache we complained to the staff and they informed us that they had just finished painting near the vents and were happy... More

This is what is called one of the few classic historic hotels in the city center. Everythimg clicked: from attentive hotel staff to impressive lobby, smart updated rooms that were both spacious and pleasing and great location. Oh, did I mention super nice breakfast buffet?! One of the better hotel experiences. The price was a bit high for Vietnam, but... More

Stayed two nights while on a business trip. The hotel is centrally located with several malls, bars and restaurants. only 100 meters away from the market. The hotel staff was attentive, very responsive and professional. In room and lobby WiFi is free...however room WiFi could've been a little more reliable, as signal strength varied greatly as I moved from the... More

Smart Hotel. Only there for one night but enjoyed the experience. Very efficient check-in, good staff, the room was more of a suite with a small lounge entrance and spacious room with good bathroom facilities and the plate shower that I love so much. We used the Cafe Lounge to meet people, the local array of dishes were good and... More

Lovely hotel in the middle of a very busy intersection. Hotel has a lot of history. Did not stay here overnight as we visited on a cruise ship. It was so hot that day and we ate at the top floor in a wonderful eatery. I must say the chicken was the best I can ever remember having. The service... More

We stayed at the Rex twice while in Vietnam. It was being remodeled and we stayed in the older style rooms. While the rooms were dated they were very comfortable. There was great entertainment on the top floor in the evenings. The breakfast's were incredible. Various dishes from all over the world. It was a great way to start each... More

I've been to HCMC many times now and have stayed at various hotels and at various locations throughout the city. I've finally decided to try this hotel on this trip and here's what I think. Location - perfect! Can't fault location, it is right where you want it to be, and it is not too busy compared to other locations... More

We only had one night in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and decided to stay at The Rex due to its location, history and links to The Party and we were not disappointed. If you want to sample Vietnamese hospitality, service, ambiance and old world charm then look no further than The Rex. On arrival, we were given the sort... More

This hotel is beautiful, our suite was splendid, the location on Le Loi and Nguyen Hue is perfect for both exploring and shopping. Our only problem was that our room was right under the karaoke club. When we checked in, we noted we had a very early flight. The staff was excellent at arranging a 4am wake up and arranging... More
