I had a pleasant stay at Aha Boutique Ben Thanh Hotel overall. The location was fantastic since it was close to major attractions like Ben Thanh Market and Bui Vien street. However, my experience with the reception staff was a bit inconsistent, with one particular staff member leaving a less than favorable impression. Despite some minor issues like room size, the affordable pricing made it a decent choice for my trip.
