Overall, I was satisfied with my 3 nite stay at Elios. It is in the backpackers area but the main attractions are near enough if you don't mind the 10-15 min walk - of course its hot in Saigon even 10 mins may seem long. The rooms are OK , small but ,clean, well-maintained and mine had a window. The aircon was cool, hot water was hot, bed was firm, sheets were crisp enough but it took me 5 -6 tries to get the electronic safe to open. Breakfast offered very good choices esp. for salads and fruit and the French bread was really very good. Staff was spoke clear English and were helpful enough. The downside of the location is the nearby eating places are on the low end. They are cheap though. The upside is the area is alive even late at night so it seems safe.
