Frommer's "Another of the many government-owned places whose service is marked only by varying levels of indifference, but worth a look for its price and downtown location." Full review
Concierge "Opened in 1925, the Majestic Hotel retains a retro glamour, with wooden louvers, original hardwood floors, and old-fashioned bathroom fixtures."

Popular with tour groups, so book ahead.
DK Eyewitness "Surrounded by shops and restaurants, Huong Sen's central location is its greatest advantage. The exterior is vaguely French-colonial with Asian overtones, and the interior is plush."

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."
