3-Star Hotels in Hoa Lu

A large new room with a large stained-glass window was a plus. Even though it was the last room, people were walking past and peering in. They started sweeping at 7 and woke us up, walking around the house, making noise—apparently that's how it is in Vietnam; they wake up early. It was noisy around here—there was construction on the right side, and it was loud from 8 to 10 at night. Breakfasts were made to order, and the service was polite and attentive. They showed us where to go to see the sights, and gave us water and a banana at the end.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved my stay here! The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, but what really made the experience special was the service. The staff were honestly on another level — so friendly, helpful, respectful, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. They made sure everything went smoothly and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. It’s not easy to find a hotel where the staff care this much about their guests. The hospitality was excellent, and the whole experience was much better because of them. Highly recommended! If you’re looking for a clean hotel with amazing service and incredible staff, definitely consider staying here. ❤️👏 Thank you to the entire team for making our stay such a great experience! 🙏

Host Loan was very friendly and nice. She obliged helping to decor the room with ballons and a cake for my friend birthday which came as a surprise for her with a little extra sum. Room is decent with 2 big beds to have 4 people within the room. Lobby area feels good as there are fans to cool due to the hot weather. A small shop next door selling small, beers, groceries and they also have home cooked foods too.

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.

This private villa offers a great location for exploring the Tràng An area, while also providing a quiet stay surrounded by nature. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, and a convenience store is within walking distance. You can rent a motorbike or bicycle to easily reach the main tourist attractions! We loved feeling immersed in nature, with birds, squirrels, and even a mother goat and her kid visiting right in front of the villa! However, there are a lot of bugs, so be careful not to let them into the room.

I had a pleasant stay at this accommodation. The place is clean, and the bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. All necessary amenities are fully provided. The house has a total of four rooms and four bathrooms, which is very convenient. The upstairs room is accessed via a staircase, but the steps are quite narrow. You need to be extra careful when going down—one of my friends actually slipped and fell, so caution is highly recommended. The breakfast was delicious and offered a good variety of choices. It’s also conveniently located, with restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The surrounding atmosphere is lovely, clean, and visually appealing. From the accommodation, you can start your hike up Mua Cave as early as 6 AM. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to stay with great surroundings and good value for money.

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
