A 100-room Art Deco-style hotel 180 m from Ben Thanh Market. Every rate we sampled included breakfast and still came in at VND 1.34–2.39 million a night, cheap for a four-star. Up top there's a small pool (more of a plunge pool) and a terrace bar. It used to be called Alagon Zen, and that name is still in its Trip.com address. A good-value four-star in District 1.
