Ho Chi Minh vacation (Ho Chi Minh City)

Hi everyone,

I am originally from France, live in Dubai and I m planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh City from 10 until 14th October.
Can anyone recommend a nice place to stay, like a typical vietnamese house, hotel...
Any tips on visits, top attractions, what not to miss while in Ho Chi Minh would be great as well.

I will check later on for any Internations events, would be nice to meet some expats while visiting.

Thanks a lot

Nathalie
