World Hotel

Visited World Hotel (short for Top of the World Hotel) today - a new hotel near Zen Plaza (I can see it from the top floor) at the invitation of the manager, a friend of mine. It's a nice and brand new hotel. The rooms are spanking clean - they're new. The name will be changed soon - to Gia Linh Hotel if I'm not wrong - don't know why though. It's not far from the city centre but you'll need to take a cab there if you're not into walking. Think it'll take about 15-20 min to walk to Ben Thanh Market. Taxi fare should be about 12-15,000VND - cheap. It's right next to the "copy" software area (5 min walk) - so IT buffs will find paradize here..well, next to it.
