Rex Hotel
This our third time at the Rex . They really make the effort for a nice stay . The pool is perfect , the am breakfast is extensive and tasty . The location in the heart of D1 surpasses staying at the VINhome complex ( we have done that as well )

ibis Saigon Airport
Super convenient location, we walked from the airport to the hotel and stayed for one night to catch our next international flight early in the morning. There is a lot of options for food around and the rooftop bar/pool is really nice. The only down side I would say is that the pool closes at 8pm! ...

Overall was okay. Just everything so old. The bath towels and bed sheets look old and turned in darkness. Luckily I bought my own towels.
