"This small annex to the large Saigontourist-owned Bong Sen provides many of the same amenities at a lower price." Full review

Make sure you're getting the Annex and not the main Bong Sen, which, though recently renovated, isn't much of a value.

Just make sure to book a room on a higher floor, as some rooms can get traffic noise.
