Wouldn't a one-month 'deal' on a suite in a Western-style hotel offer more conveniences?
Our company retains outside expert help for one or two month contract periods and it is easy (in HCMC) to get over 57% discount off wholesale trade rates (approximately the prices quoted by the InterNet hotel res web sites) - and this includes buffet-style breakfasts and unlimited coffee.
This type of hotel offers gym/swimming facilities and has all the usual conveniences of DSL InterNet, international TV channels, etc.
Dear Pookie,
I would highly recommend Hanoi Towers (Somerset / Ascot group). Great location on Hai Ba Trung Street (virtually on top of the old prison). Good facilities and friendly staff.
