From the time we checked in and checked out the staff were really nice and friendly. Our room was nice and the beds were really comfortable. The food and service were also very good.Location is perfect for eating and shopping.Roof top bar with its wonderful view is a perfect place to wind down after a long day.

The Rex is a luxury hotel. I stayed in the new wing and enjoyed the large room and view of the square. The concierge was very helpful and the breakfast included with the stay included a huge buffet spread of both Asian and western cuisine.

Very well maintained room
Great comfort and cleaniness
7.3
the room was very spacious, everything look new and cleaned. normally in a smoking level, the room will have a cigarette scent, but surprise the room smell fresh in the smoking floor i've stayed. very impressed. unfortunately, given the hotel high standard, the key lock door was pretty unsafe.
there's nothing much around the hotel. and the international brand shop in the hotel premises are selling pretty higher price around the region. therefore, it can be missed.
the morning buffet look very well spread but they don't taste that good. and the menu doesn't change ..

Old wing rooms are just as good (almost)
location, rooftop bar, rooms
8.3
The Rex hotel is great. You can see that from any of the other reviews. This was my second stay, having been in a room in the New Wing last time - many reviews here and on other sites condemn the Old Wing rooms, basically saying they're grotty and under renovation.
To set the record straight: my old wing room was just as nicely decorated as the new wing room, and probably 50% bigger. I saw no sign of renovation throughout the whole hotel. What wasn't as good: no view from the room; private balcony didn't exist; shower was worse (i.e. a normal shower not a rain shower); wifi signal was a bit variable and patchy. Literally, those are the only downsides. Old wing rooms are perfectly acceptable.
Restaurant Tip:
ben thanh market is 5 minutes walk; on the corner by the main road is the best baguette lady in hcmc. 20,000vnd so a bit more than others but just delicious.

Stayed on the 4th floor, which is directly below the restaurant/lounge. The room was a suite, but not that big, so a bit disappointing. Since it was directly below the restaurant/lounge....you could hear the music pounding through the ceiling from the nightly band or whatever musical group up on the 5th, so it was actually quite disturbing. The same restaurant/lounge is where breakfast is served, which had a wide spread of both western and local items. Again, if you get a room on the 4th floor in the old wing, ask for a switch to another floor. Didn't get to use the outdoor pool because it was raining, but it looked pretty small.

good atmosphere & quality in great location
the gym, the east wing original fixtures, location
8.7
I have stayed at various hotels in the city. this one is close to all the shopping & market. I like the rooms & bathrooms with a bath! Breakfast is very nice but best of all they have a proper gym, with a changing room that also has a steam & shower area. It is very comfortable & the staff are very efficient & friendly!
