Concierge "Famed-but-faded gem... However, there are mitigating factors: a central location... a helpful front desk—and a history that begs for a private-sector makeover."

Request third-floor deluxe rooms overlooking the Municipal Theater, which have terrific views from the narrow, New Orleansstyle wrought iron balconies.
Insight Guides "The antithesis of Ho Chi Minh City’s slick and modern downtown hotels, the charming, historic Continental has a to-die-for location."
Rough Guide "The grandly carpeted staircases, marbled floors and dark-wood doors of this venerable address’s halls and corridors convey a colonial splendour that doesn’t quite extend to its rooms."
DK Eyewitness "One of the most atmospheric hotels in Vietnam, the Continental Hotel is a sight in its own right, featuring classic French-colonial architecture, with arched windows and terraces."
Frommer's "If you want to stay here, you are most likely paying homage to the historical significance of the hotel." Full review

Fodor's "The unique outdoor courtyard garden and dining area dates from the late 19th century—a delightful place to relax with a drink beneath frangipani trees." Full review
Frommer's "If you're looking for a taste of historic Saigon, this is an ideal spot, as its faded grandeur fits the part perfectly...it's much cheaper than other central hotels" Full review

Frommer's "Liberty 3 is right in the heart of the Pham Ngu Lao backpacker area and arguably the best choice down that way." Full review

Be sure to request a window and ask to see the room before checking in, as some are worse than others (and many are musty from smoking guests).
DK Eyewitness "Part of the Que Huong chain of hotels, the smart Liberty 3 is the epicenter of the "backpacker district," and is thoroughly modern, both inside and out."
Lonely Planet "Recently refurbished in a cool and classy mix of soothing neutral colours and natural wood, Liberty's Saigon Greenview is one of Pham Ngu Lao's flasher accommodation options." Full review
