Stayed at Lisa Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
|
Location is poor with probably nothing much ie. convenience stores, decent restaurants in immediate surrounding and probably due lack of business, taxis and other modes of public transport can be hard to find at times. Not recommended for first-time travellers to the country unless you have businesses in nearby areas. Also be aware of the extra charges impose by the hotel especially the manager/owner himself if you have friend/relative to stay overnight..it is a rip-off.

Stayed at Asia Hotel - Hanoi, Vietnam.
|
Hanoi is just great. Rent a bycicle or a motobike and cruise around, not only in the Old Quarter - the Hoan Kiem District or the eastern part of town are recommendable.

Stayed at Bong Sen Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
|
Dong Khoi is a typical tourist area and no good place for budget travellers, with high prices everywhere and for everything. Hint: Take a taxi to PHAM NGU LAO, there you can find a lot of restaurants at reasonable prices.

Stayed at Majestic Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
|
Booked a taxi from outside the hotel to drive us to the Cu Chi tunnels and other places of interest (cheaper and quicker than taking a tour or booking a taxi through the hotel). The War Remnants Museum is a harrowing experience but well worth a visit to see the true horrors of the Vietnam war.

Stayed at Omni Saigon Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
|
Getting around in a taxi is cheap, convenient, and relatively safe. There are actually some good restaurants around town like The Temple Club which served Asian Fusion cuisine in an old Shanghai decor setting. You have to be very careful to avoid the motorbikes on the street though.
