Acnos Hotel · Example A
Total for two adults
862.44 USD
Includes a PROVISIONAL hotel-tax reserve of 33.60 USD. Subtotal before the reserve: 828.84 USD. The tax is mandatory, not optional, but this is a calculated reserve — not an observed checkout total or a guaranteed maximum; replace it with the actual charges and never pay any part twice. All three hotels include breakfast for two (12 breakfasts credited once). Restaurant prices already include VAT and service. Qualified illustration, not a checkout quote: hotel prices are dated public room-table observations in whole US dollars; deposits and unlisted extras are unknown, not zero. Hotels are ordered by observed hotel price alone, not quality. At 18–20 Nguyen Thi Nghia near Ben Thanh, District 1 — not Acnos Grand. Breakfast for two is included, so 12 breakfasts are credited once and two outside breakfasts are budgeted.
61.60 USD per person per ground day

Hotel, six nights — observed room price before the excluded tax
1 × 336 USD (stay) = 336 USD ≈ 336.00 USD
Source-backed: Acnos Hotel — Standard Double Room; breakfast included for two. 336.00 USD as displayed. A dated public room-table price observed 2 October 2026, shown in whole US dollars; not an exact checkout quote. Converted cents add no supplier precision; deposits, holds and unlisted local charges are unknown, not zero; future availability and discounts are not guaranteed.
Provisional hotel-tax reserve (mandatory tax, calculated)
1 × 33.6 USD (stay) = 33.6 USD ≈ 33.60 USD
Source-backed: Provisional Ho Chi Minh City hotel-tax reserve. The dated January 2027 room tables exclude 10% VAT, so a 10% reserve is applied to the displayed room price; Orchids' 5% service charge is already included and is not added again. Vietnam's temporary cut of eligible VAT from 10% to 8% runs to 31 December 2026; that does not establish 8% for this January 2027 stay, so the dated table's 10% is followed. The tax is mandatory, not optional; this is a calculated reserve, not a guaranteed maximum. Replace it with the actual charge; the tax base, deposits and unlisted charges are unverified, not zero.
Breakfast allowance per adult (not a hotel or café price)
2 × 100,000 VND (person-breakfast) = 200,000 VND ≈ 7.80 USD
MTC gross estimate (not a supplier quote): 100,000 VND per person-breakfast. The room includes breakfast for two, so 12 breakfasts are credited once and only two outside breakfasts are budgeted.
Lunch per adult (menu benchmark)
14 × 290,000 VND (person-lunch) = 4,060,000 VND ≈ 158.43 USD
Source-backed: The Refinery, 74 Hai Ba Trung, central Saigon — official menu, undated, reviewed 2 October 2026. Menu figures are printed in THOUSANDS of VND (290 means 290,000 VND) and include VAT and service, so nothing is added. Lunch: chicken and avocado salad 290,000 VND per adult. Dinner A: slow-roasted boneless chicken leg with baby potatoes 305,000 VND; the potatoes are part of the dish and not charged twice. Dinner B adds cauliflower soup with walnuts 110,000 and dark chocolate mousse 90,000 = 505,000 VND — a starter, main and dessert, not a discounted set. A French-brasserie benchmark, not a city-wide average or a dining plan; weekday set lunches and weekend brunch are not used. Dietary and halal suitability were not established.
