"The Beautiful Saigon 3 Hotel is in a relatively quiet spot considering its location in the middle of the backpackers' area of Ho Chi Minh City’s District One." Full review
Fodor's "If luxury and amenities aren't critical but a good deal is, this is one of the best options in District 1—a solid budget choice in the backpacker district, not far from many restaurants and bars." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the ao dai–clad girl at reception to the marble sheen and swishly presented rooms, there's more than just a veneer of class at Saigon 3, and the alley location is off the noisy main drag." Full review

Concierge "The best of Saigontourist's holdings, this business traveler's favorite offers solid, albeit small, rooms with less kitsch than the Majestic."
Lonely Planet "The Rex has recently had an overhaul, propelling it into the five-star bracket, although this may be in part down to generosity towards the government owners Saigon Tourist." Full review

Star Service "One of Ho Chi Minh City's best-known hotels, the venerable Rex Hotel, set on the corner of Nguyen Hue and Le Loi Boulevards, is a rambling affair dating back to the 1960s." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the city's major landmarks, Rex Hotel appears to be lost in time in terms of style and decor. The rooms are not very large, but the standard of service is high."
Afar Magazine "The crowd is a mix of local and international; surprisingly casual and unpretentious." Full review
