Location is hard to beat, very central within District 1. Close to major malls and Ben Thanh market. It has an old charm in it, inheriting it from its history. Staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend it - for its price and location, it’s worth it.

Before buying food or a drink if price is not displayed ask for price. I got charged a lot for food or drink because they knew I was a foreigner. I liked that strangers helped me access “ grab taxi” service.
