What is the best way to book hotels in Hanoi and Saigon?

Question

I've heard it is possible to book hotels at the airports in these two cities? any recommendations?

Answer 1

Best way is to book the hotel on the internet (with a travel agent), never with the hotel directly as agent will have contract and hotel will charge you with the rack rate

Happy traveling

Answer 2

I travel to Vietnam regularly, and do not recall seeing any hotel counters at the airport only currency and taxi counters. I would recommend going online and booking a hotel either through one of the hotel chains or use one of the sites below.

Answer 3

At Noibai Airport and Tan Son Nhat airport, there are some counters of travel companies and you can book hotels there. However, the rate is rack rate like you book directly the hotel. So you can book your hotels from some websites such as asiarooms or hotels-in-vietnam or also vietnamhotelsearch. Otherwise, you can book through a travel agent to get a discount.

If you are thinking about a specific hotel, I recommend you to ask local experts at vietnam travel forum: http://www.azvina.com/forum/ It is worth your time and you'll get the right answer.

Good luck to you!
