The Rex has an incredibly convenient central location. The lobby (connected to an upscale shopping arcade) is renovated in a sleek modern style which doesn't really match the rest of the ambiance and can give a false impression at first. The rest of the decor is far more traditional and undeniably charming even if some areas are a bit over... More

Undoubtedly one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Their Vietnamese break fast is a getter. Staff are very courteous. The hotel has a long history and in the middle of the city at walkable distance from most HCM city attractions. Don't forget to try their roof top restaurant with live music.

This heritage hotel is in a great downdown location - close to the sights and sounds of HCMC. Its within walking distance to the markets at one end, and the Notre Dame Church at the other, and the main shopping district in between. We wanted to stay here to get our bearings on HCMC and wanted to walk and explore... More

You know when you have arrived at a nice hotel when the likes of Cartier & Gucci are occupying the shops connected to the hotel. The lobby is huge and all the of the door staff are very friendly. I stayed in a suite in the new wing. It was very clean and a great size. It had separate living... More

Stayed on a business visit for 3 nights at the Rex. It has the best location in Ho Chi Minh city. The property itself looks impressive and has an integrated high end shopping mall. I stayed in a junior suite room and the rooms were spacious but the luxury level for a 5 star property was average. The room is... More

Overall, lovely hotel with old world feel. Positives: location, location, location! History of the place. Breakfasts are amazingly good (very good Pho). Helpful staff (although, see comment on the gym staff). The decor is dated but that kind of adds to the charm. Yes, the roof top and pools are dated but just imagine yourself as a correspondent back in... More
