Mountain View Hotels in Hoa Lu

It was okay, there are free bicycles to use. However there are a few things are worth mentioning. There’s no power point beside the bed, so you can’t charge your phone and use it while lying down. There’s also no power point in the bathroom, which means no blow-drying your hair inside. They do have a spot outside for drying hair, but there’s no mirror there, so it’s not practical and I doubt that setup is going to change. The room has no entertainment at all, not even a TV, which may or may not matter depending on the person. One thing that might bother some people is the mirror directly facing the bed. It can be uncomfortable or even considered bad feng shui. Honestly it gave me a bit of a scare at night. Overall fine for a simple stay, but these are things to be aware of.

A very friendly family runs this small homestay. We felt very comfortable. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. A delicious breakfast was also provided, and if the weather is warm enough, you can use the pool. Otherwise, it's also pleasant to relax on the sun lounger in front of the pool. Many thanks to the whole family who run this homestay and ensured we had a wonderful stay.

They even sell ramen, and the salted coffee is delicious. The Korean owner recommended going on Ninh Binh's tour route #3, which was great. The ticket office is close by, and it's easy to catch a Grab. For breakfast, I only had pho, but it was perfect for a hangover.

Hotel Location: 👍On the roadside, not far from nearby attractions. Free bicycles are available for rental. Room: Comfortable and clean. Bathroom: Plenty of hot water 👍. There's a small swimming pool in front of the room. The hotel's restaurant is located by the river, with a small bridge connecting to the water. Across the river, there's a small, lush hill with beautiful scenery. Breakfast: Traditional Vietnamese drip coffee, sandwich bread, and Vietnamese pho 👍 Service was excellent 👍. The owner happily cooked two delicious dishes for dinner using the fish head we bought (for an additional fee). Their small pot rice was crispy and delicious. The Hanoi beer was excellent; we drank six bottles. Overall, a 2-day stay: 10 points of satisfaction.

The most beautiful hotel we have stayed in so far in Vietnam. Service and staff were spot on and very attentive. Feels more like a home stay I can’t imagine how the staff could be any better. Two things to mention. If you’re looking for a good sleep I wouldn’t recommend due to chickens, dogs and other animals constantly making loud noise. I slept with headphones on so in the end didn’t matter. But what to expect when you’re sleeping in the middle of the mountains! Two -the breakfast is cook to order with limited options so it took a long time to get our food and coffee. Plus the options were unhealthy. Would have been nice for porridge and fruit. The experience was incredible, felt like a true paradise in the jungle. We loved our stay. We would stay again if we visited!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and well located. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to relax in nature with stunning scenery, this is the perfect spot. It’s true that there aren’t many shops nearby, but it’s very easy to get a taxi or a Grab, which usually arrives within minutes. The breakfast is excellent — delicious, well-balanced, and made with fresh, organic ingredients. They even have their own chicken coop, which is amazing because they cook eggs from their own chickens! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Everything is spotless and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

New homestay that opened in early 2025. Father and son and his family run and maintained this cute little homestay. They're so nice and hospitable and will provide help and service at all times of the day. They provide meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, pedal bike and motorbike rentals and laundry service by the kilo. It has an amazing backdrop scenery of Trang An behind the homestay, you wouldn't want to wish for more whenever you wake up every morning here. 😀

The place has a beautiful natural scenario, the staff is awesome and the location is very calm, around 6/7 km away from Tam Cốc and Hoa Lu. There are some bikes (although old, very helpful) to borrow for pleasant transport and activities among the rice fields. The breakfast was well served and the food was delicious. The room was very comfortable, new and clean. The pool was spectacular which I think is a very important thing for refreshing and relaxing after the trackings and cyclings. The hotel has a friendly environment with pool table, bear, and hammock under the trees. I thank the owners for all the kindness!

HEAVEN ON EARTH! 🌿⛰️✨ This place feels like something straight out of a dream! Surrounded by the majestic limestone mountains that Ninh Binh is famous for, this hotel is the perfect little escape if you’re looking for peace, nature, and a chance to slow down. I only stayed for one night, and honestly, I already wish I had booked more! Here’s why I loved it: 📍 Location & Atmosphere The scenery is absolutely magical. The hotel is surrounded by towering limestone mountains and lush greenery, creating such a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve escaped into another world. It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and simply enjoy being present. However, keep in mind that the location is a little secluded. The nearest restaurants are about a 5–8-minute motorbike ride away, so I’d recommend having a meal before checking in or planning your meals ahead of time. Personally, this wasn’t an issue for me because I came to Ninh Binh to explore Trang An Ecotourism and, more importantly, to enjoy some peace and quiet at the hotel. And this place delivered exactly what I was looking for! One little suggestion for the hotel, though: it would be amazing if you could sell some instant food, such as cup noodles, instant porridge, or simple snacks. Since the hotel is a little secluded, having these options available would be super convenient for guests who get hungry at night or just want a quick meal without having to leave the property. I think this small addition would make the experience even better! Honestly, just imagine spending your afternoon lounging by the pool, surrounded by those incredible mountains, with nothing urgent to do and nowhere else you need to be. That’s the kind of peace this place offers. 🌿 🛏️ Room & Cleanliness Overall, the room was comfortable and had all the essentials I needed. Some areas were a little dusty, but it didn’t bother me much or affect my overall experience. I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities they provided, including a bathrobe for swimming and even a comb. These little details made the stay more convenient and comfortable. 🫶 Service & Hospitality I was welcomed by NauDen (if I remember his name correctly), a gentleman with glasses who was incredibly friendly and helpful. He even recommended some local places to have dinner, which I really appreciated. The breakfast was also great! I especially loved that they included Vietnamese dishes, giving me the chance to enjoy local cuisine in the morning rather than just having a standard Western-style breakfast. The combination of friendly service and delicious food made the experience even better. 💰 Value for Money ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! ❤️ For me, this place is more than just a hotel. It’s an experience. You’re paying for the beautiful natural surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the opportunity to disconnect from the usual busyness of life. Of course, the secluded location means you’ll need to plan your meals and transportation a little more carefully. But if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat surrounded by nature, I think it’s absolutely worth considering. 🌤️ Overall Experience I REGRET BOOKING ONLY ONE NIGHT! 😭❤️ This place genuinely felt like a little piece of heaven on earth. Spending time by the pool, surrounded by those magnificent limestone mountains, and simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere made my stay feel almost unreal. Sometimes, you visit a place to see the sights, but you find somewhere that makes you wish you could just stay a little longer. This was one of those places for me. I came to Ninh Binh for the landscapes and Trang An, but this hotel became one of the highlights of my trip. Leaving felt like being an angel who had to return to Earth after a brief vacation in heaven. 😂 If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Ninh Binh where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a little slice of paradise, this place is for you. I just wish I could have stayed longe
