Housed in a very narrow building opposite Ben Tranh Market, this three-pearl boutique hotel has a downtown location that’s convenient for both business and leisure travelers, plus 21 gracious guest rooms that recall the city’s colonial past without sacrificing contemporary comforts. All include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, docking stations, coffeemakers and, in the case of Executive Deluxe Rooms, petite balconies. But, size-wise, most are a tight squeeze, and ones that face the front are prone to pick up noise from the busy street below. In terms of features, the Anpha has an elegant restaurant with a rooftop terrace (where breakfast is served at no extra charge), along with a tour desk, a small business center, and free Wi-Fi throughout. However, if on-site amenities are high on your must-have list, you’d be better off booking the mid-range Bong Sen Hotel Saigon instead: this nearby property comes with three eateries, a small spa and fitness room, as well as assorted meeting spaces.

For budget travelers who want a hotel with a contemporary design, the two-pearl Town House 50 Hotel is a good pick. There’s a homey vibe found both in the blue and white decor throughout the property and in free perks like Wi-Fi and a local and international breakfast buffet. Dorm rooms are tight on space but have air-conditioning and attached bathrooms. For something a bit larger, the private rooms offer flat-screen TVs and (in some) mini-fridges. While rooms lack kettles and some reportedly have mold in the bathrooms, for the price and location, it’s a pretty good deal. The nearby Cinnamon Hotel Saigon is a great alternative with spacious rooms with kettles and a free a la carte breakfast.

Le Meridien Saigon is a four-and-a-half-pearl hotel with a great riverfront location in the heart of the city. There's plenty of shopping and dining nearby, and top attractions and malls are within a short walk. Decor is contemporary, with a sleek finish throughout, and many of the 343 rooms feature river views. Spacious suites include high-end Bose surround sound systems, though lower-category rooms must pay for in-room Wi-Fi. Three restaurants cater for all tastes, and the laid-back lobby lounge is a great place to relax. The pool and gym have superb river views, and the spa offers a wide range of treatments, including a hair salon. There's not much to improve on here, but it might be worth considering the Liberty Central Saigon for something even more central.

The luxury Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers maintains the Sheraton brand’s usual high standards, though it lacks local character for the central Dong Khoi Street location in bustling District 1. Contemporary public areas are sharp and elegant. Three restaurants include Western-style fine dining and Chinese cuisine; the 23rd-floor rooftop bar has impressive city views and a nightly DJ. The outdoor pool, modern gym, and Asian-style spa are all popular, and there are extensive business facilities. Grand Tower Rooms are the most modern accommodations, though all units are spacious and have particularly big bathrooms. Look out for hefty charges for unreliable in-room Wi-Fi and note that the breakfast buffet isn't included in all rates. The four-pearl Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel is also conveniently located in District 1, and has free Wi-Fi and a gorgeous rooftop infinity pool.

First opened in 1925, the four-pearl Hotel Majestic Saigon is one of Ho Chi Minh City's grande dames. Chandeliers, wood, marble, and arched windows with stained glass make for a stately feel in the lobby, evoking the bygone colonial era. Rooms are classic and elegant, with polished hardwood floors, period furniture, rotary phones, and impressive marble bathrooms -- but guests have complained that many units are past their prime, and some may find the style a little stodgy. There is a small outdoor pool and bright fitness center on-site. The location within walking distance of many major attractions is a big plus, and the views of Saigon River from the rooftop bar are hard to beat. Wi-Fi is free throughout. It’s worth comparing prices at Grand Hotel Saigon (which features a similar style and better rates) and the luxurious Caravelle Hotel that is also steeped in history, but has a more modern feel and decor.

Located smack in the middle of District 1, the 553-room New World Saigon Hotel is a good pick for business and leisure travelers alike. The property features three restaurants, a large outdoor pool, a wonderful fitness center complete with a hydrotherapy area, and a high-end spa. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and bright, but some units get noise from the neighboring rooftop bar. Although the hotel caters mostly to business travelers, its location within walking distance of virtually every major attraction makes it a popular pick among tourists as well.

Ngoc Linh Hotel is a tiny value property located in the heart of the backpackers’ area in District 1, within walking distance of most major attractions. Its 14 rooms are clean and feature flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, air-conditioning, and private bathrooms. A computer in the lobby, free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi is all there is in the way of amenities here. But for those looking for a clean, comfortable bed to sleep on after a long day of sightseeing, the Ngoc Linh does the trick. For a couple extra dollars, the Cat Huy Hotel offers nicer bathrooms a few streets down.

The Beautiful Saigon 3 Hotel is in a relatively quiet spot considering its location in the middle of the backpackers' area of Ho Chi Minh City’s District One. Aimed at the thrifty traveler, but a step-up from nearby hostels, this 24-room budget hotel has comfortable rooms, though the decor is generic and Standard Rooms are windowless. But all rooms do include AC, (dated) desktop computers, and free fruit, water, and coffee facilities. The hotel also offers a free breakfast. But its best feature is its location -- easy walking distance to a plethora of restaurants and shops and a 10-minute walk to the popular Ben Thanh Market. Guests looking for a similar budget hotel can try the Beautiful Saigon Hotel, a sister hotel located only a minute’s walk away.

With its beautiful colonial façade, classic European decor, and gleaming marble interior, the upscale Grand Hotel Saigon has a strong Old-World atmosphere. Rooms have stately decor and modern amenities -- including flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and water purification systems -- and some have expansive city and river views. Antique touches like rotary phones, heavy drapes, and glass chandeliers abound. Guests that find the rooms fussy might prefer staying in the Luxury Wing, a more recent addition where the decor is a bit more contemporary. The panoramic rooftop bar and restaurant is probably the most popular feature, but there’s also a tranquil pool in the courtyard; several dining options; a spa, and fitness center. Just make sure to book a room on a higher floor, as some rooms can get traffic noise.
