Find the Cheap Hoa Lu District Hotels

Such a lovely, calm oasis in Tam Coc. A beautiful little hotel that felt like a soft place to land after a rather busy week travelling around North Vietnam. The owner had a very clear vision of the atmosphere she wanted to achieve and it all feels very thought through. Everywhere there are little hand embroidered details- the signs, the key hangers, the linen. Really beautiful! There is a lovely little gift shop as well selling hand embroidered gifts. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the food is good. We truly enjoyed our stay and will think back on it as one of the highlights of our trip.

I can’t rate this hotel highly enough.It is in a lovely spot with great rooms and amazing gardens. We had fantastic massages and the morning yoga was a nice touch. What really makes it is the service. All of the staff went above and beyond, without exception. I would particularly like note that we left an item behind in our bedroom. An hour after leaving we contacted the hotel to see if they had found it. Not only did they find it but they hand delivered it to us in Hanoi the next day, what service. My only disappointment is that we didn’t stay longer!

Cannot speak highly enough of this place. It's a wonderful jungle retreat. The huts are very comfortable with aircon, en suites, a plunge pool and soft beds. Food is also superb with all the traditional Vietnamese dishes as well as Western options. The staff are incredibly obliging especially Candy who even taught us how to ride the automatic scooters. Have a go on the scooters, it's easy to learn, great fun and navigation a doddle with Google maps. The Hotel also has a swimming pool which was very welcome after a long day touristing!

Simple, rustic hotel in Ninh Binh. We stayed here for two nights to explore Ninh Binh. From the start, D, the hotel staff was very prompt in answering our inquiries which was very assuring for a pleasant stay. Our private airport transfer to the hotel went without a hitch. Arriving at the hotel in the morning, we were offered breakfast which was well appreciated. The room was spacious and clean but needs refurbishment. The place is peaceful and quiet. Overall a very good stay.

We realized once we arrived that we had reserved the perfect place (Nan House) to see Tam Coc. Nan House is located about a 5 minute bike ride off the main road where the boat rides and businesses are located. The main road is very active with crowds, lights and motor bikes. So we were glad we reserved at Nan House, which was a quiet oasis. The staff is friendly and helpful, as was the owner. We spend 3 nights at Nan House. We had breakfasts and dinners at the Nan House Restaurant, which were excellent. Free bicycles are available and the owner kindly arranged for a driver to take us back to Hanoi. He also arranged for a driver to take us to areas that were too far to reach by bicycle. It was a wonderful stay that I highly recommend to others.

Location nice , but accommodations disappointing this time around, after having stayed here 2 times earlier in 2019. Owner added pool during Covid, but didn’t upgrade and make WiFi accessible for all rooms. Pool was nice to enjoy during hot weather. Bicycles are available and free, but not in best condition , choose carefully… Breakfast was no longer included in price, required to pay and additional $$. Family lives on property and with small children. Not always quiet. Often high traffic area with groups coming in for meals at their restaurant. 2 rooms along the River does not have places to hang your clothes if you want to unpack if you’re stay is a few days, and the bed mattress was very uncomfortable. Family, mother and father along with the 2 sisters were helpful and tried to accommodate requests. Price of the accommodations does warrant the amenities… There’s many other places within walking distance that are nicer, I’m disappointed with myself for not changing hotels, but I lived and learned Recommend you to bring sanitizer wipes to use especially in the bathroom, the mother does the housekeeping and many places are not cleaned. Recommend staying 1-2 nights here, afterwards service is neglected. Overall Tam Coc Ninh Binh is a beautiful place to come and relax from busy Hanoi

Unfortunately, our two night experience here wasn't as good as we'd hoped from looking at the photos and reviews on Tripadvisor. Upon arrival, staff seemed friendly and helped us up to our room with our bags. We booked a double room which was located one floor up from the reception. There was no noise from the reception area itself but we got very little sleep due to dogs barking throughout the night (all windows were closed). The room itself was a little dated and not the cleanest of hotel rooms (though it could have been worse). There were stains on the blinds, walls, bedding and fabric chair which were a little gross. Hot water worked fine for us and the minibar was restocked with the water which we had used. Staff were friendly when we saw them, but their presence was lacking at times and the hotel seemed very quiet. We were looking forward to sitting out on the large balcony up top (from which the views were stunning) but this area seemed neglected with the bar closed and no guests using it which was sad since we were looking forward to spending evenings chatting to others and relaxing as per the photos we'd seen. We can't comment on food as we didn't eat at the restaurant, though no one seemed to eat there in the evening. We borrowed bicycles (free of charge) from the hotel which was a brilliant way of seeing some of the phenomenal local area. Overall, our experience here wasn't great but it may have been a different story if we'd booked a better room on the other side of the hotel away from the noise of the dogs!

Stayed in the bungalow for 2 nights. The room was ok, but the bathroom was not great. I could smell the toilet as soon as we were shown our bungalow for our stay which was not impressive, so we had to close the door every time. The bathroom looked half done. There was no shower, just a bathtub with a shower head that sat waist high, which meant it was very awkward for those that don’t want to use the bath. The mirror was too large at the sink that the corner was over part of the nailed shut window. The bungalow we stayed at was near the massage and spa place along with pool tables next to it. This was noisy in the mornings. The only saving grace was the view outside the bungalow, and being able to enjoy the mountain at sunrise before visitors arrive during the day. They had a restaurant located on site which closes around 9.30pm. The food was standard and nothing special, and the first morning they didn’t have a breakfast buffet. Instead they had a given us a menu which was hand written, and told to pick what we wanted to order for breakfast. The options were very limited and my noodles were very oily. I would save my money and stay elsewhere, or just take the day trip from Hanoi. It may have been worthwhile if we chose a different lodging option but I definitely would not be running back to stay. The staff were nice and booked us taxis into town as there was not much nearby to eat something decent. I left feeling extremely disappointed, and initially when we booked the room the photos seemed to show a different story. I wish I took photos to show the disappointment, but it was the last thing on our mind.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. Dzung and his family were so kind and generous. They went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. The pictures of the home stay on the internet do not do this place justice. Dzung has made every effort to make his guests feel at home. We each had bicycles that we could use free of charge. The breakfasts that his wife made were delicious, best pancakes! We had our own bathrooms and the rooms and facilities were absolutely pristine. Trip.com indicated that this home stay had shared washrooms but this isn’t always the case, we had our own private bathrooms. We also couldn’t get enough of the rooftop pool! Dzung was so helpful showing us where to go and what to do. The home stay is so conveniently located, away from the hustle and bustle. So tranquil and peaceful. We will mostly definitely be returning. This was truly a special experience that my husband and I will never forget. Thank you Dzung and your family for being the most gracious hosts. We felt as though we were a part of your family. We will see you all soon!
