I arrived on the 17th December and at first impressions, everything was great. The lady on reception was welcoming and checked me in to my room quickly, even though I had arrived quit a bit earlier than the check in time (I had an early morning flight from Hanoi the same day) my room was ready and I was allowed to go straight up. They had a porter took my large and heavy back up to my room for me, which was great. I only stayed for one night, because the next day I had an early morning flight to Bali. In the evening, around 9:30-10pm, I started getting all my things packed up again, as I had a 5am start the next morning, and I realised my passport was missing. I remember handing it over at reception for them to make a copy, and realised that I hadnt received it back. I headed down to reception to retrieve my passport, and was greeted by a very rude lady - a different person to the one that had greeted me in the morning and been so welcoming to me. When I asked for my passport back, she refused and immediately became unnecessarily agressive, and demanded that I give her money for it before it could be returned to me. She insisted again and asked me for 500,000 VND. I again refused to give her the money, and informed her that she had no right to withhold my passport from me, under any circumstances. I told her to go ahead and make a copy, but that I wasn't leaving reception until I had my passport back. I informed her that I was leaving early in the morning to make an international flight, and it was vital that I have my passport with me so that it isn't lost / misplaced / forgotten. Again, she got even angrier and shouted at me, ”no money, no passport!”. At this point, I certainly wasn't going to back down, but despite her aggression and rudeness, I managed to stay calm and polite during the entire exchange, because I knew she had no legal right to keep my passport. As a long term traveller I'm aware that hotels cannot withhold your passport from you under any circumstances. I informed the woman that the passport was not actually my property, that officially, it belongs to the British Crown - which is true. I also informed her that I was fully aware the foreigners in Vietnam are required to carry photo ID with them at all times, and that the police would be interested to know that my passport was being withheld from me. At that point she realised that she had lost, and literally threw my passport at me and it landed on the reception counter. She then shouted at me, ”Go back to your room!”. I asked her what the problem was, and she literally yelled, ”GO TO YOUR ROOM, GO NOW!” I guess she didn't like the fact that I knew she was wrong and made her look stupid. She knew she was wrong, and I know for a fact that had I needed to get the police to help, they would have certainly made sure she returned the passport to me. A real shame, because the greeting in the morning was lovely, the bag porter was kind and helped me wit

But everything else was ok. I was very pessimistic given the bad reviews that I have read. But I was VERY surprised. The receptionist did speak English and helped with my luggage. The room was as pictured. There was even hot water. There was no drinking water provided though but it wasn't a dealbreaker.

Great value. In a street that runs into the market, the hotel has the traditional Asian size rooms but has been modern lay appointed and well designed. We booked a room with a balcony which had lots of natural light. Nice modern bathroom and good beds. Surprisingly we found the shopping in the actual small street better than the market for shoes, coats, bags etc. would definitely stay here next time as the position is brilliant. Oh and the 5 star shopping mall is 5 min walk away
Queen Central Hotel - Ben Thanh Market

So we arrived at this hotel yesterday 14.11.2019. Receptionist lady was polite. When we get to our room the wall paper is ripped everywhere. There is cobwebs, stained sheet and a dirty bathroom. We thought ok maybe we change rooms its only three nights. We left the room and the corridor was disgustingly dirty- Didn’t look like it had been cleaned in months. We went to reception and the reception was somebody different very ignorant. Told us to take a seat. On waiting and looking around we saw more dirt dust and grime everywhere. We sat for about 5 mins and then a massive Rat ran right past our feet inside the hotel. I got straight on my phone and booked another hotel within 2 mins walking distance. We went back upstairs to get or suitcase and the lift was not working turns out when we could get in a man was oiling it- How dangerous. On telling the ignorant reception we were go to an new hotel they didn’t even ask why. I can see this being because they are used to this happening. Avoid all cost a real health hazard. Wouldn't even give one star but couldn't do none

I recently booked this “hotel” on Booking .com I did so because of the reviews and pictures. A seasoned traveler and not normally one to stay out with hotel brands I thought I had done my homework I looked on a few booking sites, read reviews and looked at those reputable pictures on the sites. Firstly *********** have pictures of a completely different hotel ! This place is the pits Room was filthy , bedsheets were covered in hairs , the 2 towels we were given were all frayed , the shower was filthy ( attached shower head pic ) The room was stinking of paint fumes ! ( we had 2 rooms booked and although the online pictures show windows, our rooms did not ) We were demanded to pay upfront without being allowed to view the room , I could go on We stayed for 6 hours on the first night as we had flown from JFK but we had no option but to leave and move to another hotel Do your homework , read the other recent reviews ( I wish I had ) AVOID ! Please note I left a review with *********** but the “hotel” has had it removed!

Very convenient location, it is very convenient to go to different attractions by car or on foot. The room is generally clean, and it is very considerate to have an ironing board and iron. But the bathtub in the room was stained, and the handle of the boiling water fell off as soon as it was turned on. In the middle of the night, I had to ask customer service for help. And at the entrance of the hotel, there is a massage shop with a pink business lady to solicit business, and girls will feel a little embarrassed.
