The 50-room Duc Vuong Hotel is a budget hotel located at the end of Pham Ngu Lao, a popular backpacker street in bustling District 1. It's within walking distance of numerous cafes, bars, and shops, and many major attractions can be reached on foot or by a short taxi ride. Some of its rooms lack windows, but they are all clean and pleasant, with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, welcome snacks, and en-suite bathrooms with separate showers. The rooftop bar and restaurant with city views is a favorite with travelers from across the city, and the hotel's expansive free breakfast buffet is a major plus. The Beautiful Saigon 3 Hotel is a similar well-located budget property, but it doesn't have a restaurant or bar and rates can be higher.

The upscale Alcove Library Hotel is a charming boutique property with a literary theme throughout. This extends from the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the stunning lobby -- home to an extensive library -- and into its 26 elegant rooms where framed literary quotes are hung on the walls. Suites have full kitchenettes, but cheaper rooms can have small bathrooms, and some lack views. The hotel is situated on a quiet street in a non-touristy neighborhood halfway between the airport and District 1, but it's a 15-minute ride to many of the city’s popular attractions. An excellent free breakfast is served at the attractive rooftop terrace restaurant, Bookmark, which is open all day. For a more central option, the Liberty Central Saigon Centre Hotel has only marginally higher rates.

The PARKROYAL is an upscale business hotel located a five-minute drive from the airport. Rooms are spacious and bright, with double-glazed windows, LCD TVs, minibars, one king or two twin beds in each, and free Wi-Fi. Decor is contemporary if a little generic, and bathrooms in Standard Rooms could use an update. With a pleasant pool, solid buffet restaurant, small spa, and well-equipped fitness center, the hotel is a good option for those doing business in the area or with a short layover in HCMC. However, those interested in exploring District 1 may want to note that, although the hotel offers free shuttle service to and from the city center, there are no tourist attractions within walking distance.

Located on a busy, tree-dotted street in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, very near Ben Tranh Market, this mid-range boutique hotel has 53 rooms spread over 10 floors. Opened in 2009 and renovated in 2014, these tasteful accommodations meld modern amenities (including flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi) with traditional-looking embellishments (like bamboo blinds and fun little fruit baskets). Given the hotel's size, it has a fair number of on-site features, too: a lobby-level restaurant, small workout room, and meeting spaces among them. Depending on your priority list, though, the nearby Anpha Boutique Hotel -- another three-pearl property -- might be a better alternative. It has a rooftop terrace and on-site tour desk but no fitness or conferencing facilities.

Formerly the Mövenpick Hotel Saigon, the stylish Eastin is a solid pick for luxury in Ho Chi Minh. Dark wood furniture, crisp white linens, and Chesterfield armchairs make rooms elegant and classic -- but glass-enclosed bathrooms and high-tech amenities add a modern twist. With a large outdoor pool, three tasty restaurants, a well-equipped fitness center, and upscale services, the hotel draws all kinds of travelers. However, although there is free shuttle service to the city center, the hotel’s location near the airport makes it more convenient for business travelers than those interested in seeing the sights.

The Palace is a medium-sized business hotel located near the Saigon River, within walking distance of most major attractions in Ho Chi Minh. Rooms are a little basic, but are spacious (although a few are smallish and dark), and feature LCD TVs, air-conditioning, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi. A few rooms have balconies, but they are unfurnished, and some guests may feel the upgrade is not worth the extra money. There is a tiny fitness center, an upscale spa, and three decent restaurants -- including one on the top floor with panoramic views -- but the highlights here are the cute outdoor pool and nice freebies, such as free breakfast buffet and free purified water in the rooms.

Despite its name, the 20-room Elegant Inn is really just a basic budget hotel with a solid location just off the popular backpackers' street in District 1.

Another budget option in the area is the the Vy Khanh Guesthouse. It has similar rates, but only six rooms and breakfast is not served.

The 388-room Hotel Nikko Saigon is an upscale property in Ho Chi Minh City's bustling District 1. It's connected to a shopping mall, and while there are shops and businesses nearby, the city's major sights will require a drive or shuttle ride to reach. Rooms are contemporary, with a Zen-like aesthetic. Features include large flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms, and rooms on the 23rd floor have exceptional city views. Guests rave about the expansive breakfast buffet, and there's also a fine-dining restaurant and lobby lounge. The events space is popular for business gatherings, and the hotel has a pool, spa, and modern fitness center. As an alternative, Lotte Legend Hotel Saigon has similar features and is closer to tourist attractions, but its rooms are far less handsome.

The Sunland Saigon Riverside Hotel is a 99-room mid-range property in a quiet spot set back from Vo Van Kiet and the Ben Nghe Canal. It's next door to the Russian Market, and a 10-minute cab ride from the city's top attractions and shopping. There are great city views from the rooftop bar and outdoor pool, and the gym is a good size compared to similar hotels in the city. The cafe serves a varied menu, with both Asian and Mediterranean influences. Rooms are a little dated, but many have views of the river and -- with triple and connecting rooms available -- they're ideal for families and groups. Alternatively, the more central Anpha Boutique Hotel has similar rates and also has a rooftop bar, though it lacks a pool.
