Anpha Apartment Hotel Ben Thanh stands on Lê Thánh Tôn street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City. The streets around it mix small cafés and burger bars with local restaurants. Ben Thanh Market, 150 m away, is the best-known market in the district, with clothing, souvenirs and food stalls, and the Sri Mariamman Temple, a Hindu temple with an ornate gateway, is a few minutes' walk away. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum and Independence Palace are also within walking distance, so the older sights of the centre can be reached without a taxi.

Ben Thanh Station is 250 m from the hotel, and Saigon Railway Station, the city's main railway station, is 2.3 km away. The Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station is 1000 m away, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport lies 5.4 km away. The property has no parking available on site, so arrivals by car or motorbike should plan their parking before they arrive. The street itself is quiet enough for walking between the hotel, the market and the stations.

For sightseeing, Independence Palace, the former seat of the South Vietnamese government, is 500 m away, and the War Remnants Museum, with its exhibits on the Vietnam War, is 900 m away. For green space, 23/9 Park is 600 m away, and in the south of the city Crescent Lake is 5.7 km away, in a planned residential area of District 7. Each of these sights can be combined into a single day of walking and short taxi rides from the centre.
