Description
AnAn 2 may have one of the best hotels in the area as its sister, but don't let the name assure you that inside you'll find something similar. In fact, AnAn 2 is what used to be the frumpy Southern Hotel, with a new name board slapped on the outside. It seems little has changed during the takeover. Rooms are fairly sparse, but passable for the mid range price. Rooms vary in size enormously, so it may be worth paying a few dollars more for a bigger space. There is a tour desk on the ground floor. Overall, if it's the AnAn name that bought you here, you're better off trying the newer, cleaner, more comfortable AnAn around the corner.

Guest feedback
Now called An An 2 - 
By nugsy ( total comments: 11 
) Stayed here 2/2007
The Southern Hotel is now called An An 2. We stayed here for a couple of weeks, in both the $18 room which was okay, but a bit small, and the $28 room which was great if you can stretch to the extra. It had a good view over De Tham St and big TV, plus a bath. The reception staff here were very friendly and helpful. They also must have the patience of saints judging by some of the guest queries and requests we overheard.

AnAn Hotel
40 Bui Vien St, District 1
AnAn is a step above its surrounding competitors. Of course the price is higher, but so it should be. All rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with modern furniture -- they include air-con, cable TV and a fridge with mini-bar, and spacious bathrooms are standard. The highlight of this hotel... more
Elios Hotel
231-235 Pham Ngu Lao St, District One, Saigon
The Elios was brand new as of early 2007. It could well be what the area was screaming for –- midrange options that aren't run down. This is the kind of place found in Nha Trang or Mui Ne, not the backpacker area of Ho Chi Minh City. The interior is decorated brightly with shades of cream, as... more
Vien Dong Hotel
275A Pham Ngu Lao St
The slightly higher prices than its competitor the Elios, opened around the same time, must be due to the Vien Dong's more impressive facilities. The rooms themselves are similar. The hotel is new as of March 2007, and this shows throughout the interior -- no peeling paint here. Rooms are of course... more
Giant Dragon Hotel
173 Pham Ngu Lao St, District 1, Saigon
It's difficult to pick the biggest selling point here: the giant plastic red tree in the superior rooms, the plastic hanging gardens in the standards, or perhaps the sprawling chandeliers in both. Then there is the cleaner peeling her sunburned forehead in the lift and dropping the long strips of... more
Que Huong Liberty Four
265 Pham Ngu Lao St, District 1
A three-star hotel is rare in this part of the world, so if being in the backpacker ghetto is important but quality and service are also desired, this is a good option. Very popular with tour groups, Liberty Four is by far the biggest hotel in the area. Services include a restaurant, WiFi, a... more
