This home stay was great. The family was very welcoming and helps with your plans during your stay if you want. We were in room 407 on top floor and it was large and comfy king bed and bathroom was fine. Just bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The breakfast was plentiful and made to order. The area is close to the city centre. The family helped get us bicycles (very reasonable) and we rode the bikes to Trang An boats as well as Mua caves to hike. It was no problem with Google Maps to get there. You cannot beat this price for a homestay and the family is a wealth of knowledge. Would definitely stay again.

Made to feel at home!

Mr Truong the Guest House proprietor was very helpful throughout my stay and arranged 2 enjoyable day excursions for me.The accomodation whilst tucked away down a small side alley is only approx a 40 minute walk or 5 min taxi ride from the Centre of Ninh Binh.There is a small supermarket on the main road virtually in front of the Guest House.I would recommend the De-lux rooms as the size is almost double that of standard.Breakfast can be ordered but I did not need it so cannot comment on the amount/quality.My room.TV only seemed to show one (US) channel but otherwise no negative comments.Enjoy your stay!

一人旅での宿泊でしたが、充分以上の広い部屋でした。家族経営のようであり、皆とても面倒見の良い人たちです。朝食は毎朝メニューから選んで注文し、調理してくれます。特別に調理に長時間を要するというわけではありませんが、時間に余裕をもって朝食の席につきましょう。私は好んでパンケーキを食べていました。

Petite guesthouse Aux petits soins

Le service est parfait. La chambre est un peu petite, mais n'oublions pas le prix ! En tout cas tout y est. Le propriétaire a été notre chauffeur durant toute une journée (en raison de ma fête de tet, il n'y avait personne de disponible). La journée a été superbe. La gare est à environ 20 min à pied.

As with all the other reviews can’t fault the hotel and won’t repeat all.the positives.Big negative is the location with lack of restaurants or nightlife nearby.Tourist areas of Tam Loc would be my obvious choice ,but if you want to experience less touristy Nim Bihn then this is the place for you.

가성비 굿

하노이에서 리무진을 타고 오전 9시반쯤 도착했나봐요. 그러자 아침 먹겠냐고, 정말 인심 좋은 동네 아저씨처럼 물어주시더군요^^ 지도 펴고 주변관광지 설명도 상세히 해주시고, 비록 다음날 아침에는 하노이역까지 오토바이로 데려다주시기까지 했어요. 오토바이 샌딩 경험 정말 즐겁고 고마왔습니다. 화장실이 좁아서 샤워하기 편하진 않았지만 이 정도면 가성비 훌륭합니다. 스쿠터도 대여가 돼서(1일 12만동) 편하게 쓰고 반납했어요. 다음에 닌빈 가면 다시 방문하겠습니다~

Outstanding. A real good experience.

First the hotel is very comfortable and in excellent condition. My room was large, clean and very well equiped. But this is not all: the huge bonus is the complete service Truong is supplying. In addition to being a very friendly and respectful person, he can and will take care of arranging everything you might need, before, during and after your stay (he did for me): being picked up from your hotel in an other city and brought to his place, being transported door to door (for a reasonable price) from his place to the next hotel where you'll be staying, transport from his hotel to Tam Coc, renting a bicycle. AND: the food in his restaurant (not only breakfast but also lunch and dinner) is excellent. Real handy in a neighborhood where restaurants are few and far between.
