"Excellent. Clean. Nicely located. Very friendly stuff."
Price-value is excellent. Great hotel. Great location. Great service. Great breakfast (buffet centered on a Vietnamese noodle soup...(yes for breakfast!). I do not believe you ask for more from a Hotel at this price range.

Ho chi Minh (ex Saigon) is a vibrant city filled with life 24/7. Tourist attractions are very limited. The Vietnam war Museum and Cathedral are interesting. The District 1 Pacoda is not even worth the effort. There are however other things to do. Fist there are many pacodas and Temples which are really beautiful in other districts and taxis are cheap. I highly recommend going to the vietcong tunnels in cu chi. I also recommend renting a scooter and driving around the city. It is daring as there are millions of motorbikes but the experience is unique and you get to see many areas with great architecture. Main market is very expensive. Rest of the city is very affordable. People do not speak english but google translate did a great job although some translations came out very funny. Massage places are great and cheap, great massages.
Positivo: Everything. Stuff specially friendly. Receptionist speaks english and is very helpful and friendly. Great experience.
Negativo: Wify does not work in 5th floor but they are happy to change rooms. They ran out of soaps (jabón) on second night of stay.
