Bat Dat Hotel

Bat Dat Hotel is a three-star hotel in Cho Lon, District 5 of Ho Chi Minh City, 4.2 km from the city centre, with air-conditioned rooms that each have a private bathroom. It suits travellers who want a base in the old Chinese quarter, where temples, markets and cafés are a short walk away and the sights of the centre are a short taxi ride off.

The rooms range from 28 m² to 55 m² and share a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a desk and a seating area, while the bathrooms have a bathtub and free toiletries. Three room types pair a large king-size bed with two single beds, and the Suite adds a separate living area with a sofa bed, making it the roomiest option in the hotel.

The restaurant serves local and international cuisine, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. A lift serves the building, so the upper floors are easy to reach with luggage.

Bat Dat Hotel has four room types, from the Superior Double Room at 28 m² to the Suite at 55 m². Every room has a private bathroom with a bath, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a desk and a seating area, so the choice comes down to size, beds and extra features. The three doubles and twins have a large king-size bed and two single beds, and two of them take up to three guests, including one child.

The Superior Deluxe Double or Twin Room, at 46 m², is the largest of the doubles and has a window. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room, at 34 m², adds a sofa, and the Suite has a separate living area with a sofa and a window. Windows are only in some rooms and depend on availability, and the Superior Double Room cannot accommodate an extra bed.

The hotel's common areas offer free WiFi in all areas, a restaurant serving local and international cuisine, and room service. A lift serves the building, and laundry, ironing and a business centre with meeting and banquet facilities are also available. Non-smoking rooms are offered.

Each room comes with air conditioning, a private bathroom with a bath or shower, free toiletries, slippers and a hairdryer. A flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar, a desk, a seating area and a wardrobe complete the room. The hotel has no parking available, so guests who travel by car will need to find parking elsewhere.

Smoking rooms must be requested in advance and depend on availability at arrival. Guests also need to state the exact number of adults and children in each room under Special Requests when they book.

Bat Dat Hotel stands on Tran Hung Dao B in District 5, in Cho Lon, the old Chinese quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, where cafés and restaurants line the same street. The temple Hội quán Quỳnh Phủ is 200 m away, Chợ Xã Tây market 250 m and Chùa Quang Minh pagoda 300 m, so a first walk from the door already takes in a temple, a market and a pagoda.

Travellers arriving by coach can reach the Bến xe Chợ Lớn bus station, 1.5 km away, and Saigon Railway Station is 3.6 km from the hotel. Tan Son Nhat International Airport lies 5.8 km away, and the city centre is 4.2 km, so a taxi or ride-hailing car is the practical way to cover those distances with luggage.

What to see is mostly beyond the neighbourhood. The War Remnants Museum is 4.2 km away, Tao Dan Park 3.9 km, and the Ho Chi Minh City Museum 4.6 km. Binh Tay market, in District 6 next to Cho Lon, is known for its wholesale trade, and Crescent Lake, 6.5 km away, is a further option for a longer excursion. Visitors who like temples will find several more in the district, from the Chinese assembly halls to the pagodas on the side streets.
