About
Nouveau Happy Inn - Ben Thanh
Nouveau Happy Inn - Ben Thanh is a 2-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. It positions itself as an adults-only property, so it’s a quieter option for couples or solo travellers. The hotel has recently been renovated, and guests consistently mention the modern, clean rooms and the helpful, hands-on owners.
The hotel is about 2 km from Tan Dinh Church, and the central location means many of the city’s attractions are within reach. With a 24-hour reception, currency exchange, and a range of practical services like laundry and car hire, it’s designed to be a convenient base rather than a luxury retreat.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Spacious, clean rooms — Guests repeatedly mention the large room sizes and spotless condition. Several room categories include bathtubs and city views.
- Friendly, hands-on staff — The owners are often on site and go out of their way to help, from early check-in arrangements to fixing a guest's computer.
- Good breakfast included — The breakfast is a cut above the typical budget hotel spread, with fruit, cereals, and made-to-order options mentioned.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities score is low — Guest ratings for facilities come in at 5.4 out of 10, the weakest category. This is a basic 2-star property without a pool, gym, or restaurant.
- Not for children — The hotel is adults-only, so families travelling with kids will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:00. If you arrive outside those hours, you may need to make special arrangements.

7.3Verified guest“Great location – I recommend Zest Spa across the street for massages.”
7.3Verified guest“We loved this hotel. We arrived on an early flight and our room wasn't ready, but they gave us another room to rest in until it was. It has been newly renovated, very nice and modern with a western feel (we had a tub and shower). Breakfast was good with a wide selection. The hotel was super clean with daily maid service. The owners were often on hand and very helpful. When we arrived we had a broken computer, and Henry (the owner) went out of his way to help get it fixed, even hopping on his motorbike to check the shop I'd left it at to make sure they wouldn't rip me off. We'll recommend this hotel to everyone we meet in Vietnam.”
7.3Verified guest“Cheap price and good location near the centre. Clean.”
