"The best of Saigontourist's holdings, this business traveler's favorite offers solid, albeit small, rooms with less kitsch than the Majestic."
Lonely Planet
"The Rex has recently had an overhaul, propelling it into the five-star bracket, although this may be in part down to generosity towards the government owners Saigon Tourist."

"One of Ho Chi Minh City's best-known hotels, the venerable Rex Hotel, set on the corner of Nguyen Hue and Le Loi Boulevards, is a rambling affair dating back to the 1960s."

"It’s hard to justify staying anywhere more expensive when there are guesthouses as clean, comfortable and friendly as this one... Giang & Son’s only downer is that there’s no lift."
Rough Guide
"It’s worth splashing out on one of the bigger rooms here to appreciate the relaxing location (down a quiet alley) of this family-run guesthouse."
