Beautiful Ben thanh Hotel

Beautiful Ben thanh Hotel is a 2-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms, a 24-hour front desk and city views from three of its four room types. It suits travellers who want a central base for sightseeing and evenings out, and small families who need space for three.

The four room types measure between 18 m² and 24 m². Each has a private bathroom with a bath or shower, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, free toiletries and a wardrobe. The two largest rooms sleep three guests with a single bed alongside a king-size bed, and the three rooms with a city view also have a safety deposit box.

Shared spaces include a lounge with a TV area and outdoor furniture, and the hotel offers free WiFi in the rooms, room service, a tour desk, lockers, laundry and currency exchange. An airport shuttle is available for a fee, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5 km away. Ben Thanh Market is 650 m from the hotel, so the centre's food stalls and shops are a short walk away.

All four rooms at Beautiful Ben thanh Hotel are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, free toiletries and a wardrobe, so the difference lies mainly in size, bed and view.

Three of the four rooms have a city view and a safety deposit box, and the two largest are the ones for families or small groups.

Beautiful Ben thanh Hotel stands on Bùi Viện street in the centre of District 1, in the backpacker area around Pham Ngu Lao, where bars, cafés and restaurants stay busy into the night.

Within a few hundred metres, Thai Hoa Temple to Mother Buddha (400 m) and Chợ Dân Sinh market (450 m) add a more local side to the walk.

Ben Thanh Station, the Metro Line 1 station, is 500 m away, and the Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 550 m. Saigon Railway Station lies 2.4 km away, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport, in the north-west of the city, is 5.5 km from the hotel. The hotel is close enough to walk to Ben Thanh Station, while the airport is the longest of these three trips.

Ben Thanh Market, 650 m away, is the place for street food, clothing and souvenirs. Independence Palace, the former presidential palace of South Vietnam, lies about 1 km away, while Tao Dan Park (700 m) gives a green break between sights.
