My husband stayed here, courtesy of the US Army, in 1968, so the return to the Rex was a sentimental one for him. He was not disappointed, and neither was I. The hotel has been beautifully renovated, and the new wing (where we stayed) is well-appointed and comfortable. We were there at the beginning and end of our 3-week trip... More

I stayed here on a business trip and I was rather worried after reading some of the previous reviews. Fortunately, I am glad to say that they are somewhat unfounded. Yes, I stayed in the "old" wing and yes the bathroom was not great, but very clean. In summary, this is still a five star hotel unlike the impression created... More

We stayed in the Rex Hotel old wing, right before they started to renovate it. And let me tell you that they needed to ! So at first, we stayed in a spacious room right on Pasteur which might one of the noisest street in Saigon ! The next day we asked to change to a quieter room, but we've... More

My partner and i decided to take our neice and nephew to Vietnam on the way to europe and booked a classic room at the Rex hotel. The location of this hotel is arguably the best in HCM. Opposite the peoples committee building and a stones throw away from every big attraction in Saigon. After booking the classic room, we... More

Stayed for 3 nights. The staff were friendly and always ready to serve with a smile. Though high on the price compared with other hotels of the same category, the experience is to feel the hotel of the 70's deco especially the room.

In the past this was one of the most famous hotels in Saigon. It is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City. All the famous spots (Opera, Town Hall, Notre Dame, Post office) are in walking distance. If you enter the hotel today the reception and lobby area is still impressive and meets today´s requirements. Here you find... More
