Hi, if you want to visit HCMC, you should come during the sunny season. In the rainy season, you cannot walk around or enjoy the sightseeing trip.
It will not cost much for a backpacking trip to HCMC. Small hotel costs $50/night & local food is around $1-$3/meal. But if you want to stay in fancy hotel & eat in famous restaurant, the costs will be doubled or trippled.

Hi, if you want to stay in HCMC on 2 days, you can take about 100$- 200$ if you want take a tour go around city and explore city when you don't have more time to walking. You can hire motorbike if you can riding in here or you use cyclo. The sunny season is the best idea for you come there but if you go to there on rainy season, don't worry about this cuz it's short time to raining. finally, welcome to HCMC.

Ho Chi Minh (HCM) city has only 2 seasons: Dry and rainy. You should visit our city from January to March or from October to December. When you come at those time, you can enjoy Christmas days and Tet Holidays :D. About places, you can find a good room around Phạm Ngũ Lão Str and Bùi Viện Str with a good price. Small hotels costs $18 -> $30/night. There's a lot small restaurants and bars for foreign traveler on those two streets above. Hope you enjoy your trip.
