For the money paid, it was the worst, a terrible hotel for the 2 months trip
Cons:

1. The Air Con only blew the air, not dropped the room temperature although I used the lowest temperature setting on the remote control at 17C. But the front desk lady insisted that it works after at least 3 hours blowing air. 2. The breakfast was included in the booking. Since we had to leave early in the morning to airport, I asked if a small breakfast could be packed for us just like other hotels would do for their guests. At the end of the day, when I asked for the small breakfast, she said the bread store was closed regardless the fact that she had a whole afternoon to prepare the bread. 3. The price paid for the hotel was much higher than other similar B&B hotels around the same area. It is the worst hotel in the whole trip.

Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage in einer ganz schmalen Gasse. Etwas schwer zu finden, aber es lohnt sich. Die Frau an der Rezeption super nett. In 5 - 10 Minuten reichlich Auswahl an Geschäften, Bars, Cafés, Restaurants,...Ich hatte 1 Zimmer mit einem schönen kleinen Balkon zum Sitzen. Perfekt.

Pros:

the quality of the building is solid and the staffs are nice

Cons:

it's not a formal hotel as i thought. It is a B&B type located in a super small street, not accessible by any size car and very hard to locate it. Its more expensive than other B&B type in the area. Not worth the money

Pros:

We loved the location in a little laneway close to everything but away from the hubub. We got to observe daily life in the maze of local laneways, which was an absolute treat!. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We'd recommend it as a place to stay!

Ben Thanh Retreats Hotel - Good Choice.
Pros:

Rooms - spacious & clean
Staff - friendly & helpful

Cons:

It is located along an alleyway so when taking taxi/Grab cars, guests have to walk about 60 to 100m to the main road (depending on which main roads). The alley is unevenly paved and there is no covered walkway. Hence, guests with carry-on and bigger pieces of luggage will find it challenging. If it rains, guests will get drenched without umbrellas or rain coats.
Otherwise, Ben Thanh Retreats Hotel is an excellent choice - a quaint & quiet boutique hotel.

Très agréable séjour et très propre.
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’emplacement, l’hôtel est au calme dans une ruelle à l’écart des rues principales très bruyantes.
Notre chambre avait une fenêtre qui donnait sur un mur situé à 50 cm, mais finalement ça ne nous a pas gêné, on y a passé 3 nuits.
La chambre et la salle d’eau étaient très propre. Le nettoyage était quotidien.
Le lit et les oreillers sont confortables.
Le petit-déjeuner très convenable et suffisant.
Le personnel a été très agréable.

Cons:

Juste une remarque pour préciser que les descriptifs ne sont pas toujours précis concernant les fenêtres qui donnent sur un mur. En fait il n’y avait pas d’indication sur la vue, dans ce cas il faut comprendre « vue sur un mur ». Il suffit juste de le savoir.

Authentic local hotel in a little lane in district 1.
Pros:

Local hotel in easy walking distance to shopping restaurants and massages. Got a late checkout for a small fee. Staff accommodating with requests

Cons:

Building being erected directly next door so banging begins at 0700 everyday!
Only has one bedside table which is annoying if you have medical equipment etc.
