Hotels Near Cửa Hàng Bách Hóa Giang Sơn in Hoa Lu District

Wow! This place is truly amazing. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, each one of them was so friendly and always put a smile on our faces. Rooms are very well kept, comfortable and cosy. The hotel grounds are truly stunning and directly within the nature. The atmosphere was tranquil and peaceful and was a brilliant escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Food was great and fresh too! We’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ninh Binh who may be looking for a relaxing time with the most beautiful views to wake up to.

This place was so special - the view is breathtaking, you can swim in the water, you can use the neighboring hostel’s pool, and the family who runs it is unbelievably helpful. The beds were SO comfortable and they always came in to clean up while you were out during the day so it was refreshing to come home to a clean room. They do laundry, they rent out bicycles and motorbikes, they book travel to your next destinations, they make great food...there’s nothing they don’t do well it seemed like! They put everything on one tab too so it made it easy to just pay all the expenses all at once before I left. The only thing was that it could get a little noisy at night with neighboring hostels playing music or early in the morning with motorbikes passing by on the road - but that just might have been because my room was closest to the street. The music would die down by 11 and there were still plenty of times where all I could hear were the birds’ calls echoing through the mountains. So peaceful! I’m so grateful I found this place!

It’s located in a quiet valley smack in the middle of Ninh Binh. The pool could be a little clearer but it’s ok to swim. Staff was very helpful and attentive the room is functional but hey you are there to explore the beautiful scenery and not the room. For 2-3 day trip it’s a great homebase with stunning view.

All services are so great from room, food, etc. All makes my trip wonderful with friends at weekend. Athena is in harmony with nnature and takes you about 3 km to Hang Mu (Mu Cave) and about 6 km to the Ancient Quater in Ninh Binh. I am so impressive with all services. Definitely, I will come back to Athena many times.

the villa and facilities are excellent, breakfast spread was also decent with an option for local vietnamese pho bo. however location is slightly further away from the main attractions like Tam Coc or Mua Caves

The best part of this hotel was the location. It’s in a quieter part of Tam Coc about 10 minutes’ walk from the centre. It’s on the main road, but you are one street back and there are rice fields right behind you. Tam Coc town itself isn’t that nice. Super touristy and tacky but it’s where most the restaurants and shops are so it’s nice being in a spot where it’s accessible, but you can also escape. The hotel itself is nice but definitely 3-star. That’s not a critique as it doesn’t sell itself as higher than that, but I think some of the photos flatter it a bit. The pool area is beautiful, overlooking the rice fields. Rooms are clean and a good size but a little worn. The staff and owner are lovely. English isn’t strong even by Vietnamese standards, so needed to use the translator app a fair bit but was never a problem. They have free bicyles to rent and they are good quality. I was impressed. You can get to most of the main sites from the hotel by peddle bike if you have a basic level of fitness. Motor scooters can also be rented for cheap. A couple of small opportunities for the hotel. It took me 3 days to get hand soap in my room. I did ask and got told it’s on the wall. Only saw body wash on the wall so assumed that’s all there was but the cleaners eventually noticed and put in hand soap. Also, the fridge wasn’t working throughout the duration of my stay. Thirdly, the hotel has those bathtub showers but no curtain or screen so it’s impossible to shower without soaking the bathroom floor. Should put some in. Would be an easy fix. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. It is good value and in a great location. Thanks for having me. I definitely enjoyed my stay!

Tam Ha (one of the staffs) had assisted us throughout our stay. Easy to communicate. We reached the hotel around 7am and they let us rest in the massage room while waiting for the check-in time (2pm). At 10am - room was ready for us to check-in. She even upgraded our room and thus, we had bathtub 🥰. They lent us a steamer for us to iron our clothes. Bicycles available to stroll around town (free) and motorcycles available for rent at 60k dong for half day. They even had so many services which sadly we had no time to experience. We did try the complimentary tea time and it was nice to hv a chat at the rooftop with such perfect view. I would recommend this hotel. Service 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Tam Ha even personally came to our room to check on us so that we didn’t miss our flight on the check-out day. The other staffs were also friendly and kind. They assisted us promptly. Technician helped to fix our room telephone and carry our baggage. Everything went perfectly well and this had contributed to our great time in Ninh Binh.

I was there because my friend recommended it. She said the owner is friendly, and indeed, both the owner and her sister are super friendly. I arrived at the homestay in the afternoon, around 2 pm, and the owner and her sister were kind enough to serve me cold drinks with a cupcake. They also recommended some nice places to cycle and even rented me their bicycles for free. The next day, I wanted to go to Halong Bay but hadn't bought any packages or bus tickets yet. The owner was kind enough to recommend a nice limousine driver to take me to the port. The driver arranged for me a nice 6-hour cruise trip around Halong Bay, and even a trip back to Hanoi on the same day. When I departed in the morning, the owner packed me a package of junk food, a rice, and served me a variety of fruits for breakfast. The room is clean, the air conditioning is functioning well, and the hot water too. Everything is amazing. I would highly recommend this homestay, and I would love to come back again.

Our first time in Vietnam, we spent a few days here to relax. The resort is remote, natural & beautiful with relaxing activities to enjoy. Ajay was super helpful throughout our stay. The only downfall was the rain (our fault for travelling at this time of year) :)
