Guesthouses in Ninh Binh City Center

"Luong (Owner) is a good and nice cook. He cooked the dinner and breakfast for my family. Luong has the farm in the home stays, there is many fresh and organic vegetables. Even the welcome drinks ~ orange juice is very fresh and good. As my father want to eat the fresh salad vegetable in his farm, Luong accept our request immediately and serve us during dinner. Luong helped us to book the private car from Halong bay to Ninh Binh and Ninh binh to Hanoi. He suggested that we could go to Trang An for sightseeing. Thanks for his suggestion to let us have a good memory in Ninh Binh. All the equipment in homestays are new. It lets us feel comfortable, like in our home. "

"i loved this place. the owner mrs. kim lien opened it 1 year ago with assistance from a dutch friend. vietnam’s climate ages buildings quickly. therefore it’s noteworthy that this hotel is clean, its paint and plaster are intact, and its sheets are snow white. the dining/common area is a real gem. it isn’t buried inside the building like many hotel dining rooms in vietnam. it’s front and center with nice furnishings and a pleasant cross breeze. breakfast is normally included in the room rate. dinner costs an extra 80,000 vnd ($4). kim lien cooks well. one morning i had fried eggs with a baguette. the next i got a delicious banana pancake topped with banana slices and honey. both dinners featured fried tofu, spring rolls, french fries and a vegetable. the 2nd night i got chicken fritters too. it’s not health food, but it’s tasty. kim lien has two motorbikes for hire: a manual and an automatic. both cost 200,000 vnd ($10) per day. i rented the automatic and crashed it on wet gravel 30 km out. to my eternal gratitude, kim lien sent out for antiseptic ointment and bandages and cheerfully cleaned me up. now that’s service! of course, she wouldn’t let me rent a motorbike after that. instead she insisted that i ride as a passenger. the driver took me to all the places i wanted to go and charged reasonable rates. it cost 300,000 vnd ($15) for a full day of sightseeing around ninh binh city (where there’s lots to do), and 400,000 vnd ($20) to go to the cuc phuong national park, a 50 km ride each way. the kim lien guesthouse isn’t a fancy place. the rooms don’t have televisions or refrigerators. i suspect the amenities will improve over time. kim lien told me that she’s gradually investing in improvements as she brings in new income. the dining room has potential to be a great gathering place for travelers. you’ll never find a more earnest or well-intentioned hotelier than kim lien. there are too few of those in vietnam. give her your business. you won’t reg"

"Everything was really nice. Being a wheelchair user, the bathroom was a bit tricky, but with a plastic stool, I could use the shower."
