“Five genuine stars”

A fabulous hotel, I can`t think of anything critical to say about any aspect of our stay here.

“Will go back”

Stayed 3 nights at The Rex from 27 October in the new wing, couldn't be more satisfied. From check in to check out the place was brilliant. The staff were exceptional, the room was brilliant, breakfast was great, good selection of all types of food taken either in dining room or on roof top balcony. Eggs cooked to your selection and Soups made similarly. The pools were good, thought a little tlc is needed to spruce up the surroundings of the lower pool near the gym. We will definately return next time in HCMC

“Rex Hotel”

When you visit Ho Chi Minh you must stay at least one night at the Rex. The Rex is a serious piece of history you cannot miss. The hotel service is outstanding and the staff truely wants you to enjoy your stay at the hotel. Localtion is outstanding as well. The rooms are trapped in a 1960 time warp but that is part of the charm.

“Brilliant!!!”

Easily one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The location is great, the room was most comfortable, the food at the restaurants were great and most importantly, the staff were very polite and helpful. I stayed at the hotel on my birthday, and was very pleasantly surprised to receive a cake and flowers from the management and staff on my birthday - nice touch!! The two pools on the rooftop, though small, are great spots to unwind. The fitness center is well equipped, very clean and well staffed. If we ever visit Ho Chi Minh City again, we would most definitely stay at Rex Hotel.

“Lux Hotel, would definately stay again when in Saigon !”

Rex Hotel was centrally located to everything and had all the mod cons you'd expect from a luxury hotel. The breakfast buffet was quite good, probably the best of our stay in Vietnam. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful.I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Saigon & will stay here again without question.

“Excellent Hotel”

The Rex Hotel is an excellent hotel. It is historic, very well maintained, located in a prime location and one of the best hotel's in Ho Chi Minh City. The service is mostly excellent and staff nearly all speak English well to very well. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone as a strong 5 star hotel.

“convenience of hotel location”

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

“Will stay again”

Our short stay at the Rex was a very positive experience. The staff were very helpful and courteous. The hotel is being refurbished on the bottom floor and the work is sectioned off with what looks like wallpapered panels (maybe from another refurbishing job) with net material and leaves draped throughout the hallways. The hotel is making an effort to make the area attractive and inviting under difficult circumstances of refurbishing. The noise and dust was minimal. We had a room facing the courtyard so did not have any noise experienced by other reviewers. Our room was excellent - a junior suite. The room is a little dated but the art deco asian furniture has an appeal rather than the usual stereotyped furniture. We had cocktails at the rooftop bar which has very good atmosphere and we had the best pho bo for breakfast that I experienced in my whole trip to Vietnam. We booked the Rex's limo transfer to the airport. It was good but it was a minibus, not a limo. Will definitely stay again - the renovations will probably be finished by then.

“Comfortable hotel, small rooms”

Rooms were a bit small and the bathrooms have not been updated in many years. Had trouble with the hotel staff coming to the room too often and, inadvertently, waking me up or trying to get into my room when I was in the bathroom/shower. While the reception was polite and extremely helpful, the hotel's tourist information desk left much to be desired. I spent 5 minutes convincing the desk's attendant to Google a restaurant address because she didn't believe it existed since she hadn't heard of it. The rooftop bar is pleasant and spacious, with a great view of the city and the street activity below.

“A Bit of History”

I specifically chose The Rex Hotel because of its history. The hotel hosted the "Five O'clock Follies", US Military briefings during the Vietnam War. The hotel is a luxury hotel in Saigon and features an excellent rooftop bar with live music. The service and the accommodations were excellent. The Rex has an great gym and two swimming pools. The location in District 1 is close to all the sights and many good restaurants. I would definitely stay there again.
