2-3* at best definitely not 4* …..
Pros:

A disappointing small and dark room. It’s all tired and needs a revamp. The room was dark even with a window and not enough lighting, same for the bathroom lighting. The room was big enough for one of us to get in the middle between 2 beds or round one side and open the wardrobe, the pictures we saw made the room look bigger than it was. Same with the rooftop pool, small in reality. The shower is a climb into half size bathtub that’s higher than normal to get in and out, the floor gets wet due to position and size of the shower screen. No ventilation or extractor fan on the bathroom. Towels were tatty and frayed and more like a large hand towel size wise. Bedding- top duvet cover not changed in 5 days and bottom sheet changed day 3- bottom sheets didn’t fit the bed so mattress exposed….beds were comfortable thankfully. Had to ask to have shower gel topped up even having left the top off in the hope they noticed but no. 2 very small bottles of water allowed per day, no milk for tea or coffee. Towelling slippers left to wear had previously been worn- obviously worn so no mistaking that! The staff were polite, breakfast was ok. Great location but this hotel is most definitely NOT 4* . The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Kenny on the door who speaks great English and always chatted to you when you left or returned to the hotel. We asked the staff if there was anything they could do to make our arrival special as we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary- not acknowledged in any way! Would we stay here again…..No …..would I recommend this hotel…….No.

A fantastic stay from start to finish—comfortable, convenient, and exactly the kind of place you look forward to return
Pros:

This hotel offers a fantastic location, making it easy to explore the surrounding area on foot. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with any requests. The rooftop pool and bar provided a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing, with lovely views and a welcoming atmosphere. The air conditioning worked exceptionally well, which was a huge bonus in the heat. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay that I’d happily recommend to other travellers.

Cons:

No downsides.

Perfect location, clean modern hotel with rooftop pool!
Pros:

This was a gorgeous hotel very central of Ho Chi Minh. Our first time in the area and the staff were very helpful and spoke some English. Rooftop pool was lovely very high up! Lovely breakfast and a very clean stylish hotel.

Cons:

We booked this as when we arrived we didn't feel comfortable in the hotel we booked and didn't really check it and our room had no windows. It was okay but that with jet lag didn't help us get out of bed till later than we would have liked. Bed and pillows were okay, not the worst we had slept on in Asia but could have been better.

Goed voor 1 nacht
Pros:

Locatie- je zit vlak in het centrum

Cons:

Voor een 4 sterrenhotel verwacht ik net iets meer. We hadden een zeer kleine kamer zonder raam. De badkamer ook zeer klein. We hadden het gevoel dat we in een bunker zaten. Wel 1 voordeel- je hebt geen geluidsoverlast van de straat

Pleasantly surprised!!!
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was safe and clean. The breakfast had a variety of food choices and an omelet station.. Annie at reception was an absolute gem!! She was courteous and professional. I had several questions about the property and she answered all of them. The biggest compliment I can give is to say I will return and that I would recommend this hotel to friends visiting HCMC..

Cons:

Sadly, everyone's experience and expectations are different. I travel a lot and experienced some wonderful places and some not so good. As a traveler you should keep an open mind and remember you get what you pay for!! I would consider Cochin Zen hotel a diamond in the rough!! I loved it..

Good location but room 610 no good
Pros:

Location is sensational and very close to everything, markets, bars good eateries.

Cons:

The window wasn’t sealed so let in all the heat of the 36 degree day so was really hot in the room 610 just hope you never get that room it’s a sweat box, the aircon didn’t sufficiently cool down the room to sleep as the windows aren’t sealed and are very loose and barely even lock.

Excellent location and value.
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at Cochin. Staff were all amazing, the daily breakfast had great variety and was great value. Location walking distance from many landmarks. Many good options for dining. Located centrally which means most tours will pick you up from the front of the hotel.

Cons:

We loved it all. Like many others of our other experiences within Asia, the beds run on the firmer side which was no problem for us.
