"The antithesis of Ho Chi Minh City’s slick and modern downtown hotels, the charming, historic Continental has a to-die-for location."

"A historic 1920s riverfront hotel that oozes character. All the rooms are charming (especially those with a river view) and the staff fall over themselves to be helpful."
Time Out
