Fabulous location and close to river, Ben Tanh markets, War Remnants museum and Reunification Palace. Make sure you get a room in the new wing...old wing apparently is a bit old and musty...we had a premium room in the new wing on their current special which was US 150 inc.brekkie and it was to die for. Service is wonderful and... more

I stayed in Rex Hotel 5 years ago, then it was a real dump. Today the suite we had for our family was in the old part of the hotel, but obviously renovated and felt really fresh and a lot of space. Rex hotel certainly is not modern style furnished, but has a history that really comes through by the... more

We stayed for 3 nites. Rejected first room offered due to very musty smell and had view of air conditioning equip. Approved second room with nice view of busy street corner and park. Room was clean; bed was hard; coffee maker broken--rec'd new one. We only ate their buffet breakfast, which was very good. It was a weird mix of... more

Recently stayed at the Rex for 2 nights, and was blown away at how loud traffic noise could get in a hotel room. I thought someone had taken the glass out of the windows, the noise was that bad. We were situated on the third floor, the rooms did have an old feel, but were clean. Breakfast was the best... more

The Rex Hotel is decent enough...definitely has that post-Soviet vibe to it. If you stay here, be sure to stay in the new wing...the old wing is quite old and not worth your money. The buffet breakfast is quite good as was the spa. All in all- good value for money and it is in the heart of Saigon. Oh,... more

We stayed here for one night until we could leave in morning for Mui Ne. Arrived at 11pm and were given a super gross, musty smell, rock hard bed. Felt like staying in a haunted mansion. We complained and got another musty smelling, little less gross but bettter view room. Staff at night was not overly helpful. Do NOT go... more

The Rex is an amazing hotel which is located in the heart of the city. You really couldn't ask for a better location. There is lots to do within walking distance and the neighbourhood is beautiful and very safe at all hours. The hotel itself has a lot of character and charm. The staff are great and remember you by... more

This hotel has the best location but your experience in the hotel all depends on what room you get. The difference in levels is unbelievable. On our first night we were upgraded and were very happy with our rooms - large, furniture a bit old-fashioned but lots of character and we were thrilled with the hotel. The location excellent, the... more

Breaky had a good selection appropriate to standard of hotel Good wireless internet (free) with transitter in room so no reception problems. Definitely recommend for holiday stay. Organsied in... more

The Rex has the best location in all of Saigon. The hotel is old and was once frequented by American servicemen in their quest for debauchery during the war. Very few updates have been made to the property since that time. Our room was huge with lots of wicker and had a musky smell. Room service was quick and surprisingly... more
