Top hotels in Ben Thanh
GRAND HOTEL du LAC Boutique Saigon
Spotless, comfortable room, great view, great staff, nice breakfast. Neighborhood around hotel is sort of a touristy hub, busy and "touristy" but it is so central and walkable to everything. Pool is tiny and commonly full.

Winsuites Sai Gon Hotel
Good stay, great location, modern room and clean comfy bed. Downside was no pool access after 3pm due to it being rented privately (not told when booked) Would stay again if full facilities available, discount should have been offered. Also… the late night Pizza was a myth!
