Vietnam: hotel con bar nella provincia di Provincia di Ninh Binh

This is a heartwarming story of a lost and found. This trip itinerary covered three places: Hanoi --＞ Ninh Binh (2.5-hour drive) Ninh Binh --＞ Ha Long (3-hour drive) Ha Long --＞ Hanoi Airport (2-hour drive) For two nights in Ninh Binh, I stayed at a place called ”Mai Luxury Hotel.” Judging by the name, it sounds grand, but in reality, it was more like a family-run, small-scale single-building guesthouse. However, the room was of 4-star hotel quality, so it was acceptable. After checking out, I had been on the way to Ha Long for about two hours when I realized I had left my Insta 360 camera in the hotel lobby. Knowing there was no way to go back and get it, I had to wait until I arrived in Ha Long before calling Mai Luxury Hotel. After confirming with them that I had indeed left it at the hotel, we started looking for a solution. Initially, they followed me on IG (their hotel IG only had 4 followers). We chatted via DM, and then they added me on WhatsApp to discuss. Originally, they wanted to find a driver that very evening to bring it to my hotel in Ha Long Bay. But because it was a holiday, they couldn't find a driver. Later, they found out I would be leaving Vietnam the next day, so they started looking for any drivers heading to the airport the following day. Not long after, they actually found a driver. They even sent me the driver's and vehicle's details. They also said they had already wrapped it up securely. At this point, I was inclined to believe they genuinely intended to return it. However, if the driver turned out to be dishonest, it could still go missing. On the final day, I arrived at the airport around 1 PM and received a message from the driver. After that, I didn't hear from him again. I grew increasingly anxious inside, thinking maybe he was still driving? Or perhaps he had already kept the camera for himself. Around 4 PM, I finally received a call from the driver. He even captured a photo of my anxious expression while waiting for him. As previously arranged with the hotel, I was to pay him 500,000 VND (about 150 HKD). At that moment, the driver actually handed me back 200,000 VND. Before I could react, he had already gotten back in his car and left. When I looked at the returned item, I could hardly believe it! The hotel had used a ”Happy New Year” bag to hold a ”Happy New Year” box. Upon opening the box, the camera was wrapped in cloth. The level of care and thoughtfulness was truly perfect. The feeling of joy from recovering something lost is truly indescribable. Of course, I wouldn't dare say that everyone in Vietnam is good, but at least on this trip, whether it was the hotpot restaurant owner, the tour guide on the boat, or the hotel staff, they all made me feel the warmth and kindness of the local people.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to many tourist attractions, making it very convenient for sightseeing. A special thanks to Michael at the reception. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. He took the time to explain the best and fastest ways to get to my destinations, which made my trip much easier. His excellent service really stood out. Thumbs up to Michael for his outstanding hospitality! I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.

Bliss resort 2025年7月開始營業，雖然才開始不到一年，但是員工都很有素質，很專業，服務很熱心。飯店早餐種類雖然不多，但是味道非常好，我們吃了兩天的晚餐，也相當和口味，主廚有大飯店水準。 這是我們訂的兩個房間的villa 還有私人游泳池，房間很寬敞，兩套衛浴設備，還有一間客廳。 飯店有提供腳踏車免費租借，也有機車可以租，價錢合理。 這裡據您寧平市區有一小段距離，騎機車大約要15分鐘左右，但是叫Grab or Green SM 很方便。 飯店前台Iris 和經理很熱心回答我們的問題，也給我們去旅遊景點的建議。如果有機會再回寧平，我們還是會選擇這個飯店。

**A Hidden Paradise in Ninh Bình** I honestly didn't expect to find something this peaceful. Tucked between towering limestone mountains and a quiet river, this resort feels like a true 世外桃源 — a world away from everything. The pool is one of the most beautiful I've seen: spotless, calm, and perfectly framed by palm trees and thatched-roof bungalows. Every morning I'd sit by the water with the mountains rising just behind the rooftops, and it genuinely felt like the outside world had disappeared. What made the stay truly special, though, was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and constantly going out of their way to make guests comfortable — from a relaxing complimentary foot soak by the river to little touches like fresh tea and local snacks served in traditional bowls on the bamboo table. Nothing felt rushed or transactional; every interaction felt genuine and kind. The surrounding scenery is stunning — bamboo groves, a floating pavilion over the water, and mountains wrapped in mist most mornings. Sitting there with tea and watching the light change over the hills was one of my favorite moments of the entire trip. Rooms are simple but comfortable, blending naturally into the landscape with earthy tones and thatched roofs that suit the setting perfectly. It's the kind of place where you slow down without even trying. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with genuine hospitality, clean facilities, and gorgeous natural surroundings, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a rare find — truly a paradise hidden among the mountains and water.

Pro: Esperienza tutto sommato abbastanza positiva, pulizia non eccellente (sotto i letti credo non abbiano mai pulito). Colazione semplice ma buona. Staff molto gentile, ci ha messo in una stanza più grande di quella prenotata. Abbiamo noleggiato il motorino con loro, prezzo ragionevole. Nella stanza ventilatore e condizionatore. Cons: Pulizia da migliorare per polvere e vetri. Lenzuola e asciugamani pulite, parlo della pulizia stanza. Tutte le sere abbiamo trovato almeno 2 blatte in bagno (che probabilmente uscivano da un buco dietro al lavandino), eravamo al primo piano (ma altri ragazzi che erano al 3 non hanno avuto problemi). C'erano solo due saponette e nessun bagnoschiuma. In descrizione parla di minifrigo ma in realtà nessuna stanza ce l'ha. Sul sito c'è la foto di una piscina che non appartiene alla struttura. Per il prezzo pagato è stato buono.

Mi piace questo ostello, ma c'è una cosa... le luci di notte sono troppo forti. Sarebbe bello se fossero un po' meno luminose. Il letto era pulito, la doccia e il bagno ottimi. La colazione è deliziosa, così come il caffè. Il personale è gentile e comprensivo. A Ninh Binh ci sono molte cose da fare, ammirare la natura, in particolare le montagne, fare un giro in barca con l'arte locale, visitare i templi.

L’hotel era molto buono in generale. Il ragazzo alla ricezione sembrava un po’ confuso durante l’iscrizione, ma poi si è completamente rimborsato negli occhi. Il resto del personale era anche molto bello. L'hotel offre biciclette gratuite, che è stato un bel bonus. C'è anche una piscina, anche se durante il giorno è stato costantemente occupato dai blogger per prendere foto. Il colazione è stato molto buono. L'hotel offre anche frutta complimentare nella stanza. La camera dispone di aria condizionata e è molto conveniente che i controlli siano situati proprio accanto al letto. Per quanto riguarda i suoi svantaggi, c'era un odore sgradevole nella stanza, e il bagno era quasi inoperato, quindi dopo ogni doccia il piano del bagno era inondato e non c'era nulla che potessi fare.

The room I stayed in was good, clean and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, being close to Bai Dinh Temple and the Trang An river tour, which made exploring very convenient. The property itself is wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by nature and perfect for relaxing away from busy areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout, always happy to help. There was also a very cute dog on-site, which added a lovely, homely touch. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay that I would recommend.

Perfect Location & Peaceful Stay This boutique hotel is a hidden gem with about 10 beautifully designed rooms surrounded by greenery and nature-inspired décor. The location is perfect! Very safe and close enough to enjoy great restaurants and local attractions, yet tucked away from the noisy tourist streets, offering a peaceful retreat. We stayed in the spacious triple family room with a private terrace, and it was wonderful. The beds were huge, the mattress was perfectly comfortable, and we slept soundly every night. 🚲 The hotel provides free bike rentals, making it easy to explore the area. Breakfasts were a highlight, with different homemade options each day, ranging from Western favorites like eggs, toast, and pancakes to authentic local dishes such as chicken pho and fried noodles. They even specially made fresh juice for my child each day. 💫 The host was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, ensuring our stay was smooth and enjoyable. They helped us book a seamless transfer to Hanoi. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with the perfect location, quiet surroundings, and warm hospitality, this is the ideal choice. Highly recommended for families and travelers who value comfort and authenticity.

L'hotel e le sue vicinanze sono sorprendenti! Belli giardini intorno a voi... l'hotel è un grande giardino con le villa che sono in realtà case. L'ho amato! Il cibo nei ristoranti è buono e ragionevole prezzo. Buona varietà di cibo al colazione. Le piscine interne e esterne sono grandi, il personale è gentile. Le auto da golf sono spesso disponibili per portarti alle diverse strutture. Biciclette in affitto in posizione, Spa e palestra. Molto raccomandato anche se un po 'isolato dalle principali località di visualizzazione 20-30 min media, ma Grab (taxi) viene rapidamente per raccogliere quando ne ha bisogno.
