Located near Ben Thanh so that was a positive, lots of dining options around. Staff was friendly. The knocks on this place are: power outage for half an hour, construction work going on near the property, the bathroom door was hard to close and its lock did not work, and finally, the A/C unit was barely adequate... at 19° C!

This is a single wide small hotel, nicely decorated, maintained, and managed. Staff was all friendly and helpful. Good elevator and the AC quickly cooled the room. We had the Executive room with sundeck which is a balcony with chairs, table and sculpture. Breakfast was good with choice of pho, eggs, bread, yogurt, fruit, juices, tea, coffee on a smaller scale compared to bigger hotel dining rooms. Located near central HCMC markets, massage, attractions. A Grab ride to SGN takes 24 minutes.

I booked a stay at Ben Thanh for my family. However, the owner was only willing to communicate with my husband, despite the booking and payment being made in my name (Mrs ie female) Although the owner spoke fluent English, declined to speak to me directly and instead communicated exclusively in Vietnamese and English with my husband. Hostile to have messages relayed through my husband while I was present, “Tell you wife xyz” in English spoken language, As though, I didn’t somehow understand or wasn’t present at the time.

Additionally, the room was smaller and more outdated than other options in the area, but did have a semi decent bathroom. Considering the higher cost compared to similar accommodations nearby, I had anticipated a more pleasant experience. Also, the Room door didn’t even lock properly, not ideal!

Having stayed in 10 hotels in the last month. This hotel had no staff. No staff to bring in your luggage or take it to your room. The photo of the reception shows three girls dressed in nice uniforms. But it is not like that. Also we booked and paid for a room with outside terrace !!! But didn’t get one. When I asked about the outside space her reply was they were busy and it wasn’t available. Sorry but if it’s not available when I booked why did you allow me to book it. The hotel is run on a tight budget and it shows !!!

Staff is nice, but 1) you may not get the room you booked when you check in, the manager will switch it based on availability, but she’ll switch it to something similar or an upgrade. 2) limited staff so there isn’t always someone at the front desk 3) they said laundry would take 2 hrs, it took 10 hrs because they send it out and I had to keep calling 4) even tho it’s a convenient location, I would pick a place that had better service, I had to wait an hr to check in because my room wasn’t ready

I picked this hotel because of higher rating in review, so it was correct.
Checked in at 10:00pm flight, the lady at the desk was very warm, chatty and friendly. Very helpful, explained the area with a free map.
My room is on the 4th floor, bed is comfortable, full amenities, fridge stocked with drinks, aircon, table, desk, chai. Bathroom is very clean, reasonable space. Daily cleaning service. No much view from the window in my room, but I didn’t need it, just for sleep. Good internet. Too.
The location is excellent, in dist 1, 10min to the Ben Thanh market for great choices of breakfast, open from 6am, the palace is 2 streets from market, 20min walk to famous backpacker street, almost 20-30min walk to heart of HCMC.
Lots of cafe, restaurants, mini mart, massage and laundry shop around the hotel. Very popular hotel with travellers.

The location was excellent, and it was very walkable to all the locations that we wanted to visit. If you’re looking for a Marriott stay, not your place, but if you want quaint, independently owned feel with an excellent location in a nice quiet neighbor in District 1 this is a great place for the price. We would recommend to friends and family.
We do also recommend the Spa next door for massages as they were very professional and affordable. Thank you for the hospitality.

Nothing special.

If the boutique room is the only room available, I would recommend staying elsewhere. I don’t know about the other rooms, but the boutique is too small, especially for 2 people. The room is quite small and dark, the bathroom lights were insufficient and even at 5’7”, I couldn’t really sit on the toilet without me knees hitting the wall in front (very loose seat cover too). I also heard the neighbors coming in very late each night talking in the hallway. The elevator is big enough for 3-4 people max, if there are no suitcases. The listing also states it is within 10 minutes of the airport, which is definitely not the case (20 minutes if there is light traffic).

a comfy place to rest and relax

Ben Thanh Boutique Hotel is quite conveniently located near the main attractions of Ho Chi Minh City, which makes it an ideal location to set up shop if you're in it to set up shop to explore the nooks and crannies. the hotel is also located near restaurants, cafes and even massage shops for the times that your feet ache after a day of exploration.

Staff are fluent in English, and are able to make recommendations to attractions, day tours, spas and shopping areas with ease.

i stayed in the Classic King room with a city view, but it was blocked by the building next door. but the coziness of the room made up for it, and it did feel like home, rather than a hotel room.

Room - main bedroom was comfortable, with enough space to walk around. with a queen-sized bed, fridge, TV and chair, was all you'll need to stay comfy. floor was a little dirty but still ok.

Toilet - a little cramped, but ok. decently lit. the only issue i had here was that on the 8th floor, the water pressure wasn't that strong, and somehow the water wasn't hot after 11pm.

Verandah - there's a little space to view the city from the 8th floor, where you can have coffee in the afternoon or drinks in the evening.

Restaurant - comfy and breakfast was pretty good, with fruits and toast to go along with whatever you order
