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

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
