Just wondering on what hotel is good (Dont want to spend more than $40 US)

Where to eat
If any one knows of any cheap Day spas

and anything else i might need to know, or general advise.

Thanks heaps

i seldom spend time in saigon, but for what it's worth, here's what i can tell you.
when we stay in a hotel it's either near the airport or in district 8. my wife will not pay more than 200,000 d for a room. i suspect that district 1 will be a little more expensive. the hotels we stay in are clean and basic. sorry i can't remember any names, but they will all be happy to show you their rooms.
we always make it a point to stop at santo's pizza ( bui dien st) near the metropole hotel. i've never had the pizza but the club sandwitches are excellent. it's a small, streetside cafe with a nice mix of tourists, expats and locals. you can also find a couple of $5 a night guest houses next door. there are also tailors (sy tan is great, 107A bui dien , looked on the tag of a suit that everyone compliments!) dress shops and art galleries lining the street.
the other must stop for us is cafe 357 on dien bien phu street. it's on the rotary with the clock in the center. i'm not sure of the district. it's owned by my oldest friends in vietnam. it's a seafood restaurant with food to die for. the crowd is strictly viet but my friends, anh thai and his wife cuc, speak excellent english.
i can't help you with the spa, as we've never been to one.
for shopping, ben thanh is the tourist place. city mart, across from the us consulate is smaller and less crowded. there are dozens of other markets all over the city that are less touristy.
a good idea would be to find a viet guide. the money and time they could save you is well worth it. sorry i couldn't be of more help but i prefer the country side.
enjoy
