In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The 26-sq-m Deluxe rooms lean into a French-classic look crossed with contemporary Vietnamese touches: natural wood floors, a soft bed with crisp, sleep-on-me linens, a marble bathroom, and the chain's signature lemongrass-scented bath products. It reads as a polished boutique rather than a big-brand room, and the attention to detail is part of why the score lands so high. Rates open around $63.
Food and amenities
The clear headline is the open-air rooftop pool with a 360-degree view over Ho Chi Minh City, plus a free afternoon tea every day from 3 to 5pm that pairs local Vietnamese snacks with live piano — a genuinely romantic stretch of the day. Downstairs, the Yen restaurant runs a buffet breakfast, and there's a pool bar, sauna, and fitness room. The desk also books tours to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta and arranges airport transfers. The real-guest score sits around 9.3.
Location and getting there
The hotel is on Le Thi Rieng, a quiet side street in District 1. It's just a 5-minute walk (about 400 meters) to Ben Thanh Market and 7 minutes to Ben Thanh metro station. From there it's another 10 minutes on foot to Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, both worth the trip. Nearby you'll find a pho shop with a local queue and a Vietnamese coffee served in a vintage glass for 25,000 dong (about $1).
Things to know before booking
It sits on the Ben Thanh Market side, about 1 km from the Bui Vien walking street, so the late-night bar scene is a quick ride rather than right outside. As a boutique, the rooms are comfortable but not especially large. And in high season rooms go quickly, so book ahead if your dates are locked in.
Our take
Silverland Yen suits couples and detail-minded travelers who want the highest-scoring boutique in the neighborhood, close to Ben Thanh Market, with a classic contemporary-Asian feel. For a budget of around $71 a night, it's our pick of the boutiques here.
