60 Inn Saigon is on Le Thi Rieng street, in the centre of District 1, a short walk from the busy Ben Thanh area. The street is quiet, and guests often praise the setting. Restaurants sit close by: Quán Ăn 48 and Don Chicken Chi Nhánh Bến Thành are each 50 m away, and The Observatory and Cinnamon Hotel Sài Gòn are also 50 m from the door. Small parks and cafés line the lanes around the inn, so most of the district can be explored on foot.

The Saigon bus station, Bến xe Sài Gòn, is 550 m away, Saigon Railway Station is 1.9 km and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5 km. The inn offers an airport shuttle, but it has no parking, so guests arriving by car should arrange a drop-off point on a nearby street. The airport lies in Tan Binh, north-west of the centre, so the drive can take longer at peak hours than the distance suggests. For the longer trips across the city, taxis and motorbike taxis are the usual choice.

Ben Thanh Market and Independence Palace are each 700 m away. The market is good for street food and souvenirs, and the palace is the former presidential residence, now open to visitors. Tao Dan Park, 250 m away, is a shady place to rest between sights, and the War Remnants Museum, 800 m away, covers the Vietnam War. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is also within walking distance, with Vietnamese painting and sculpture. Museum visits and market trips can easily be combined in one morning, since they sit within a short walk of each other.
