Hotel Continental

Posted by Pavlova 23 August 2007

Colonial Hotel in centre of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), which means you can walk to all the shops and sights from the hotel.

It was the hotel that Michael Caine was filmed in during the The Quiet American. Great American coffee (most coffee in Vietnam is Vietnamese, and rather bitter) available in the veranda style lounge room overlooking one of the shopping streets.

Opposite the Opera House in centre of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)
