Description
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 are the rooms which also contain a sturdy set of matching wooden furniture, all brand new of course. Rooms also include a TV and fridge. Standards are not exactly spacious but still comfortable and with a window, no matter how small. Superiors are bigger and offer a view onto the street through a slightly larger window, hence more daylight as well. If this kind of price range doesn't bother you, it's a sturdy choice.

Hard to book, and a little overpriced, but rooms are nice and it's well run. Beware the WiFi is extremely slow, to the point of being unuseable.


Elios = great place -

We stayed here for 4 nights mid June 2007. We had 2 adults and 2 teenage kids in one big deluxe room. It had 1 double bed, 1 single bed and a single matress on the floor. Cost was US$58 per night & was charged another US$10 for 4th person.It included breakfast.Great clean&new place.Close to the action.

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



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



AnAn 2
216 De Tham St, District 1
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.... more
