California Saigon Hotel & Rooftop Pool
Room was clean, but the decor was quite dated. Location was excellent - right in the heart of District 1 near the Ben Than market. Quiet at night. There was a reasonable range of food for breakfast, although the European options were relatively limited. Staff were really helpful and friendly
