don't think it's worth it.. if u dun mind 2-3 star hotel, i see many ppl recommend Beautiful Saigon Hotel which is 6mins walk to Ben Thanh market.. tours u can book from https://www.thesinhtourist.vn/ which is alot cheaper compared to that.. and it's quite near Beautiful Saigon Hotel too.. the rest all can ownself explore...

Jus walk towards ben thrang from PNL. its a 5 mins stroll and you would have gd rates.

Oh ya, dun bother to eat at their resturant, its ex (in viet standard) and sucky. Eating off the street is so much nicer.

There is one good and cheap restaurant.. quan ah ngon..
went there and find the place really nice with good food..

Hi veryred and shawn4881, thanks for the advice.

Anyway, regarding the Beautiful Saigon Hotel, I found there there is 1 and 2, or even 3.

i went to see the locations of beautiful saigon hotel 1-3 , they are pretty near to each other, just a street away.
i tried to book beautiful saigon hotel 3 today & its fully booked ! damn,
they advice me to try their newsest branch, saigon europe hotel.
But i think its still very new, no reviews on trip advisor yet. not sure if i should take it up.

shawn, you booked your hotel already?
