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

"Rooms, all with bathtub and flat-screen TV, are clean and inviting. Staff are dignified, but it's the top-floor pool (rare at this price) with its fine views that steals the show."
