An interesting hotel in Saigon

I%26#39;m booking a trip to Indo China for myself and my husband leaving a couple of days after Christmas - Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and then some downtime in Langkawi and then flying back to to UK from Singapore.

I%26#39;m managed to pick hotels in Hanoi (Maison d%26#39;Hanoi Hanova), a Ginger Junk for Halong Bay, La Residence in Hue, Life Resort in Hoi An, Victoria in Chau Doc, one night on a Bassac boat in the Delta. BUT - can%26#39;t find anything that seems to tick all the right boxes for Saigon, all the hotels seem to attract loads of negative comments on this and other sites or, if not, are way too expensive. We really like something historical/interesting/boutique-y/quirky/even kitsch but properties such as the Rex and the Majestic seem to be just tired and badly run.

Needs to be nice and central too.

I%26#39;ve also got a question about Phu Quoc that I%26#39;m going to post and any help would be really appreciated.

An interesting hotel in Saigon

Elios is boutique hotel with reasonable price, good location.

From the ratings on Tripadvisor we picked Harmony Hotel approx 55 USD which turned out to be a nice little family run hotel.

Sea Star Resort on Phu Quoc is good value for money.Price 45/55/65 USD.45 USD is for garden view bungalow but same standard as beachfront bungalow.

During my stay I saw lots of people trying to book but the resort was fully booked so booking in advance is neccessary.

This is an interesting discussion related to your question.

Sorry Harmony hotel is wrong.The suggestion should read Spring Hotel

Hi.

Another vote for the Spring Hotel, a great little boutique hotel in a great location.

I would recomend the Saigon riverside house in An Phu with beautiful garden and by saigon river.You can check with Mrs Laurie at www.vrbo.com

Thanks for pointing out this article to me...obviously I%26#39;m not the only one to have identified the problem!
