Frommer's "The hotel is in a great downtown location, across from a square that has a lively carnival atmosphere at night." 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
Rough Guide "A recent makeover has re-established the Rex as one of the most appealing options in Ho Chi Minh City, with plush, comfortable rooms and an excellent central location."
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

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
