We are four "Seasoned citizens" as well as seasoned travelers who will be traveling independly within Vietnam in Dec. 2012. We plan to visit HCMC, Hanoi and places to be determend in between.
We prefer to stay in mid-range accomodations that are clean and comfortable but don't need luxury type hotels nor budget geared hostels. If possible we prefer hotels or guest houses that are more traditional and quaint than modern or glitzy.
Your experience and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Okay to contact us with your suggestions.

Vietnam will be easy for you. What you are looking for is called a mini-hotel. You could consider the room between 2-3 star, the hotel facilities would be more non-existant...and the smile would be there most of the time. Just be careful with your valuables.
Price range is always between 30-50usd depending on where you stay. You never book ahead as there are many of them, and March should not be an issue. You first see the room before you agree on taking it.
In Saigon, the area you would prefer is around Thai Van Lung or Thi Sach. Not backpaker, not luxury but with plenty of great restaurants at you door steps and walkable to many places around.
I'm a student in Hanoi. , there are many hotels near city centre, I recommend you a mini hotel at 15 or 17 Hang Non St( in Old Quarters) . Its price is approximate 15$. The opposite hotel has price of about18$ (containing breakfast)
Ho Guom Hotel : 10-15$
*Jysk Hotel at 29 Hang Hom St: very near Hoan Kiem Lake- city center. Rooms are clean and spacy here . I think It's the best.
You should get more information to avoid costly but bad goods in Hanoi. Someone is ready to overcharge you.
If u need any help, i am always ready, especially when u travel to Hanoi.
Good luck,
Thanks for the suggestions. Everything helps.
Daniel, I haven't found Thai Van Lung or Thi Sach areas. Can you guide me to them?
Puppyvs, are you part of the Hanoikids that provide guide service in Hanoi?
