Hotels near Arches in area Trang An eco-tourism, Ninh Binh

One of the best Hotel in Vietnam . Not beacuse of concrete and finishing , because of The Reed people .. Awesome stay . Special thanks to quen for such a fantastic international skills and communication. The breakfast spread was great . We were greeted so well with early checkin around 12 .

We’ve booked a one-week trip with Mr Truong. It was just incredible and we highly recommend him. We’ve seen beautiful places up north where we could live local adventures away from tourist spots. He organized for us a French-speaking guide who was amazing. Truong is a very good driver, a flexible and smart person. He even found a solution for us to avoid the typhoon. We stayed three nights in his friendly home and everything was perfect (cleaned room, tasty meals and lovely atmosphere). Thank you again Mr Truong and family for making our trip unforgettable.

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.

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.

Simple, rustic hotel in Ninh Binh. We stayed here for two nights to explore Ninh Binh. From the start, D, the hotel staff was very prompt in answering our inquiries which was very assuring for a pleasant stay. Our private airport transfer to the hotel went without a hitch. Arriving at the hotel in the morning, we were offered breakfast which was well appreciated. The room was spacious and clean but needs refurbishment. The place is peaceful and quiet. Overall a very good stay.

I found the perfect place for tranquility enjoying nature at its best. The place is surrounded by limestone and river. Our room had a view of the giant limestone cliffs on the side, at the front a natural habitat of trees with the sound of crickets and frogs. The place is surrounded by banana trees, pomelo, papaya and variety of flowers. My boyfriend used the billiards. I enjoyed my daily banana pancake, portions are generous. It was good to explore the area with complimentary push bikes. They would even provide a rain coat if it's raining. It was 15 minutes bike ride to majestic trang an river boat ride and 12 minutes to Hua Lu. The food was good. It was nice to spend a day at the hotel by the hammocks facing the river. The staff are so friendly, I feel like it was a home away from home. The food was amazing, the prices were reasonable. Thank you for the blissful memory.

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.

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.

We checked in to the Emeralda after a busy day where we drove in from Hanoi, had a great lunch in Tam Coc then hopped in boats for a tour of the caves. After that it was the Lying Dragon hike. All of which, I recommend. But we were tired by the time we arrived at the Emeralda. And it was so nice. So close to the bustle of Tam Coc, but secluded at the same time. We were greeted warmly by the staff and then driven to our rooms. First we repaired to the bar for drinks and then had a quick swim in the pool. Dinner we ate in the hotel restaurant. Very good. Breakfast the next morning was fabulous. Gracious staff. Loved this place. Even provided sandals and robes if we needed them. Would loved to have stayed longer.

A good place to hide away from the busy Hanoi. Green scenery, quiet environment, with an old Northern Vietnam village housing style. Some room amenities need better maintenance. The restaurant in the resort is fine. But for more local authentic meals (and cheaper too), there are local restaurants 100m away from the resort entrance, where both resort guests and local area residents go. It's also recommended during your stay to pay short visits to the nearby attractions (beside the well-known Trang An or Tam Coc): Van Long wetland nature reserve (walking distance), and Chau Son holy mother monastery (18km).
