Prebook Hotel - HCMC 1/29 to 2/2

Hi everyone,

I will be in HCMC from Jan. 29 to Feb. 2. Is it better to book a hotel now or when I arrive? With Tet, I don't know what it will be like for hotel rooms during my visit.

Thanks.

I would pre-book during Tet. And I often don't pre-book.

Also, transportation out of Saigon was a little bit of a challenge for us the day before Tet 2012.

Yeah, but.... Unless I'm missing something TET 2013 is Feb. 10th a Sunday, so the holiday will start on the 9th (TET eve) Sat. The OP will be long gone before TET even begins to be an issue. I've found that Saigon is empty over much of the holiday as folks have returned to their village. So, there should be lots of rooms. Different story in any resort area, hotels there will be packed!
As B_C says transportation just before and after TET can be a hassle!

You're welcome. It's always nice when people take the time to come back and say "thanks."
Yo, Charles I'm sitting in departures at SFO, heading for Mexico. Did you see SF now has a neeked guy law in the works?
