Hotels With Pools in Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam

"We really enjoyed our 4-night stay at AiLee in Tam Coc. It ticked all my boxes: 1. Great price for a decent sized roon. 2. Clean and comfortable bed. 3. Quiet location away from the main roads. 4. Beautiful view. 5. Warm and attentive service. There were small areas to improve on, of course, like the slow shower drain and the repetitive breakfast options. Still, these didn't impact our positive experience at AiLee. Strongly recommended."

"This hotel is nestled among mountains and tranquility, offering a peaceful and atmospheric escape for complete relaxation. The minimal passing traffic is a definite plus. The grounds boast lush greenery, an artificial waterfall cascading directly from the mountain, and a nice, deep pool that's lit up in the evenings (open from 6 AM to 9 PM). There are sun loungers all around, and the pool itself has a jacuzzi area. Towels are provided at reception. The service is excellent and unobtrusive; staff are always smiling and happy to help when asked. In the room, you'll find tea, coffee, and a kettle. The bed is large, but the pillows are very small and too soft for some. The mattress is also uncomfortable (too soft). Towels were changed daily. Robes are provided upon request (we had to remind them once). Each guest gets complimentary water, though sometimes they might forget to replenish it. There's a water cooler downstairs where you can refill your supply. Rubber slippers and standard toiletries (toothbrush set, comb, razor, etc.) are also available. A huge plus is the soundproofing; the room is wonderfully quiet, with no outside noise, ensuring a good night's sleep. On the downside: the air conditioner blows directly onto the bed, making it hard to avoid. Housekeeping is mediocre. Breakfasts are sparse (you won't go hungry, but there isn't much choice). Dinner is available, but the price is unreasonably high (you can find cheaper options at cafes just 200m away). The bicycles and motorbikes for rent are in poor condition (bikes are free, but you might get one without brakes; motorbikes cost 150,000 VND, and their state is frankly dismal, though we did manage to ride ours for two days without incident). There's no point looking for motorbikes outside the village; they're in similar condition and only slightly cheaper. The promised mountain view isn't entirely accurate – you can see parts of the mountains, but mostly it's a view of neighboring rooftops."
