Ho Chi Minh hotels
 

Looking for a couple of rooms in reasonably cheap hotels in Ho Chi Minh - staying for 1 night then later in trip 4 nights.
Was thinking about The Crystal or the Vien Dong. Does anyone know anything about these two please?

What's reasonably cheap?

40 - 50 US Dollars a night

I stayed at the Duxton, which was superbly located and included in the price the most amazing buffet breakfast. The pool was a little small, and shaded after midday, but in the heat of Saigon this was not a minus.

I used www.vietnamstay.com and found them highly reliable in terms of airport pick-ups. They also offered highly competitive prices.

I noojked as I travelled, over the internet, and vietnamstay never let me down.

The Duxton is a modern hotel and while the quoted price is $95, I got it for about $80 - more than you wish to spend, I know. But the breakfast is superb, the rooms are modern and comfortable and it makes a good base.

Good god! I noojked as I travelled?? I actually "booked" as I travelled...

I have heard good reports about Indochine...I saw it, but notice how high it is. Does it have elevators? or is it best to request a lower level floor?
