decent breakfast and great rooftop bar

I stayed at the Rex Hotel in Saigon in May 2003. I was told it was the hotel that foreign journalists stayed in during the Vietnam War. It's right downtown, so the location is great. It is a bit older in design, i.e. 1960s and 1970s in style (with a lot of gold color decor), however my room (a deluxe) was clean and fairly good. It had a hairdryer and mini fridge.

Like most of the nice Vietnamese hotels, I was given fresh fruit such as papayas in my room each day. The breakfast buffet was also very good with lots of fresh fruits, as well as hot noodle soups.

One of the best things about this hotel is that it has a rooftop garden with great views of the city. There is also a karaoke bar up there. Great place to grab a drink.
