22nd
February 2017 (Wednesday) - 26th February 2017 (Sunday)
Basically
taxi will put you in front of Saigon Night Hotel (if I not mistake for the name
of hotel) which near with the main road because the road goes in to Cititel
Boutique Hotel is quite narrow and mostly full of motorcycle. It is just a short distance walk to hotel, you just go straight and turns right then turn left.
From
1 November 2016, the name of “Aries Ben Thanh Central Hotel” changed to “Cititel
Boutique Ben Thanh Hotel”.
This
trip consists of 1 man and 3 ladies therefore we booked for Family Suites
through Booking.com. We paid in 2 currencies because my friends found out that
paid in USD was more save (around RM 22) than paid in VND. As I don’t have USD so
I paid in VND.
Room
Rate for Family Suite for 5 days 4 nights are 244.28 USD which included 10% VAT
(room rate: 222.08 USD). My friends paid 180 USD and I paid for 1,479,000 VND.
The
room that we stayed has a big room which has a double bed with 2 single beds. Between
double bed room and single beds room has a door to show privacy. Both rooms also
has TV but the single beds room’s TV not function well so I mostly online.
Near
with double bed’s room has a small balcony but no much view can see from there,
only tall building. Beside that the only wash room is near with double bed
room.
Inside
single bed’s room has a mirror, chair, table, cupboard, refrigerator, kettle
and many more. It has a ceiling fan in this room. Inside cupboard has hair
dryer.
The
WiFi in room is good.
The
washroom is equipped with toiletries such as shampoo, brush, soap and many
more. You can enjoy hot or cold water while shower.
The
hotel provide breakfast which start from 6:30am to 9:00am at level 8 (need to
walk by stairs to there, lift until level 7). I found out that if too early go
for breakfast only 90% of dish you can enjoy compare late to there. I knew it
when I went there after 7:00am, it has noodle soup and salad sauce. Perhaps
these two dishes took time to prepare. I like its salad sauce which is not the
one which is creamy type like mayonnaise, taste a bit sour and nice.
The
environment in level 8 is good. The breakfast provided such as noodle, fried
rice, vegetable, potato, porridge, bread, ham, salad and many more. For the
drinks have warm water, coffee and juice.
This
hotel is at Nguyen Trai Street which is Fashion Street so you can walk nearby
for shopping. Near with hotel also has Hong Hoa Bakery (Opla) and Banh Mi Huynh
Hoa (online highly recommend) which I did not have time go for it.
The
hotel can help to call for taxi service.
1. To
avoid get lost, on the way to Pham Ngu Lao Street, you will see Hotel Le Duy and
KFC.
2. When
out from hotel and at the roadside, go to Starbucks way and go straight can
reach Ben Thanh Market.
3. When
saw this statue on roundabout, its mean hotel is very near.
