Hotels near Cố Viên Lầu, Hoa Lu District

Beautiful little homestay, on a quiet side street in Tam Coc, run by a very nice couple, Tommy and Lily. Spacious rooms , very clean, balcony, very good breakfast on the patio, with excellent coffee! Tommy was super helpful to arrange our transfer by bus, even at the last minute, and he walked us to the bus stop and waited to make sure we got on OK! They are both fluent in English, and very friendly. We greatly recommend!

Impeccable service especially the hotel Manager Dao, warm & friendly, she shared with us tips to get around and helped us to booked our transportation back to Hanoi. The hotel is clean and breakfast is really delicious, their spring rolls & pho are the best I have tried in Vietnam. We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and we are grateful that everyone in this hotel going the extra miles to make us feel welcomed. Highly highly recommend.

Really friendly and nice receptionist, message to check what time i will be arriving. Good location and walking distance to mua cave and scenic viewpoint. Bicycle are also free for rental and serve me well to explore the area Room was really huge and comfortable. Buffet breakfast provided is simple

We really liked it here. A beautiful hotel, an aesthetic bar, the view from the window was a little disappointing, towards the swamp, but such a location... the center is coca, where all the cafes are 5 minutes by bike. The staff solved any questions, a very hospitable place! Free sauna and jacuzzi. Breakfast is good. They gave us a nice new bike to rent.

There are 5 rooms. We'd originally booked the largest, but found it was right next to the pool and all guests had to walk past the only window. The other rooms (as far as I could tell) are all the same layout with a bed hard up against one wall. For an older couple it makes getting up in the night awkward. The bed is very hard. There is a kettle and fridge but no cups or Tea/Coffee/Water. These are relatively trivial and could be easily remedied. On the positive side, the brother and sister who run it are lovely people and couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast is great and the on-site restaurant good. The pool is fantastic and spotlessly clean. They have free bikes for use and very cheap scooter hire. The location is excellent and near other places to eat. 10 minute cycle to Trang An boats and Mua cave Lookout.

So much to love about this place. It is spacious and as a solo traveller you can spend time either with yourself or with others. Bikes are available and you are smack bang near all the offerings of Trang An. The family are sweet and there was the added bonus of three new born puppies to play with. The rooms are incredibly clean and beds so comfortable. A bed net will keep the odd mosquito away and the views, well what can I say but they are stupendous and I'd say probably the best out of the homestays in the area. If you are considering this area then it's likely you are wanting a break from the high tourism areas so this is perfect. Breakfast is simple with enough variation to keep you interested each day and the owners make a mean cocktail for poolside rest.

10/10 Detailed review from an American. Room: clean, modern, upscale. Western-style furniture. Spacious beds. Nice furniture, free toothbrushes and combs, lovely bathroom facilities. Noise level: PEACEFUL and QUIET! Relaxing, if you want to escape the city noise. It is the countryside after all. You can see water buffalo herds in the fields nearby if you take a walk outside the hotel. I can watch them from my hotel window. Staff and service: AMAZING! So friendly and helpful and honest hardworking staff. Won't cheat or scam. Use google translate if needed. Honestly the staff made our stay so good we extended the stay an extra day. Ask them for local recommendations (they don't get a kickback from any recommendations so its all genuine) Food: RECOMMENDED! Especially for travelers afraid of getting food poisoning or upset stomach from street food. Restaurant quality, home-cooked/cooked-to-order meal. Clean kitchen facility. Good prices, cheap. Made with love, the manager herself cooked a lot of the meals for us and they were delicious (for reference, im vietnamese-american so in my humble opinion, the authenticity is excellent and pleasing to a western palate as well. Personal Recommendation: Want a nice dinner thats still authentic? Order your food and eat outdoors in the cool of the evening, try the barbeque-it-yourself beef and goat. Delicious, hand-marinated quality beef cuts and goat, and they give you a little tabletop BBQ pit for you to bbq your meat just how you like it. Order some side dishes and its a great and fun family meal. If you want to and the staff aren't busy, they can bbq it for you if you want, but I think its fun to do it yourself. The location is out in the countryside but don't be alarmed because the hotel is a short drive from the main city center and tourist spots. The bad: - The beer is warm lol. They should refrigerate it. - Tip: if you ask for ”wine”, note that its vietnamese hard liquor, not the western understanding of wine (grapes). - There's a stupid rooster nearby from one of the local farms and it likes to crow all day. If you stay in the downstairs rooms you might be able to hear it, but if you stay in the upper floors you can't hear it. Would stay again.
