151 Calmette Street, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, Dist.1, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam·View on map
Calmette Hotel 151 - Ben Thanh is a 2-star hotel in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms from 14 m² to 40 m², several of them with city views. It suits travellers who want to walk to the main sights and to Ben Thanh Market, 350 m away, and who prefer a practical base to a resort-style stay.
Every room has a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a minibar and soundproofing. The range runs from a standard double with no window to the 40 m² King Room, which has two King-size beds, a bath and a balcony with city views. Reception is staffed around the clock and offers luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, laundry and ironing, and room service. Free WiFi covers all areas.
Staff are one of the hotel's strong points: guests single out the friendly reception team, which helps with tours and transport bookings, and the daily housekeeping. Because it stands in the city centre, street noise is the trade-off for being close to the sights, and poor insulation is the drawback guests mention most often.

Calmette Hotel 151 - Ben Thanh is on Calmette Street, in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City. The first stretch of any walk takes you through the streets of the centre: the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is 100 m away and the Chợ Dân Sinh market 300 m, while Ben Thanh Station is 200 m off. Highland Coffee and Santina are both 50 m from the door, so cafés and restaurants are within a minute's walk.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.8 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.7 km, and both can be reached by taxi or ride-hailing car from the hotel. Saigon Railway Station is the terminus of the national rail line from the north. Ben Thanh Market, 350 m away, is the best known of the markets nearby, and the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City sits 750 m along the walk through the centre.
On foot, the centre makes a practical half day. Tao Dan Park (850 m) is a green space for a break, Nha Rong Wharf (950 m) lies by the Saigon River where boats come and go, and September 23 Park (500 m) is a short detour along the way. The War Remnants Museum, 1.3 km away, is better reached by taxi than on foot, and Crescent Lake, 5.2 km away, is a longer excursion for an afternoon. Ben Thanh Market is the place for street food, souvenirs and everyday goods.
Guests praise the central position near Ben Thanh Market, the friendly reception team that helps with tours and transport bookings, and the daily housekeeping. The main complaint is noise: poor insulation lets sound from the corridor, the lift and the street into some rooms.
