Hoa Lu Mountain view Hotels

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.

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.

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.

A very pleasant place to stay in Ninh Binh. What stood out most was the owner's attitude—right after checking in, he gave a detailed rundown of the most interesting spots in the area, explained where to go first, and offered several useful tips for our trip. This made it much easier to plan our time and see all the highlights. The hotel itself is cozy, clean, and beautifully located. It’s a great place to relax after a busy day exploring Ninh Binh's viewpoints and boat tours. I also want to highlight the atmosphere—you can genuinely feel that guests are warmly welcomed here, not just treated as another transaction. It's these small, family-run hotels that often leave the warmest travel memories. If you're looking for a comfortable and heartfelt place to experience Ninh Binh, The View Point Home & Spa is definitely worth considering.

We had a wonderful stay at The Wooden Gate! The property is absolutely beautiful, with a lovely pool and a very peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection and everything freshly prepared. The location is also perfect for exploring the area. With the bicycles provided, we could easily and quickly reach Mua Cave and the Trang An boat tours. What impressed us most was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Our children are very picky eaters, and the team even prepared special meals just for them, which we really appreciated. We felt very welcome and well taken care of throughout our stay. A beautiful place with wonderful service – we would definitely recommend The Wooden Gate!

The hotel is located a bit away from the tourist spots, but a bike solves that problem. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well-maintained! The staff is wonderful, thank you so much for being patient with our whims. We rented a transparent sphere! It was a wonderful experience! If you open the curtains, the view is stunning! There aren't enough hangers for your clothes, and there's not much space to unpack your suitcase, but I don't think this place is designed for long stays. But it feels like you're living alone in the jungle, which is great! The breakfasts are modest but delicious! Thank you so much to the staff for their support and responsiveness!

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!

Cheap and okay hotel, friendly and polite owner and family members, good English spoken by the owner, cheap motorbike rental
