I wanted to thank the couple that runs this hotel. They are so friendly and helped me arrange transport to the different attractions in the area. One morning my son and I left really early to go see Hang Mua, we returned after breakfast time but they still cooked up some noodles for us knowing how hungry we were after the early hike. The pool is definitely what we came for and it was the highlight for my kids who needed respite from the heat. Great location, just 1 minute to Thao Beo restaurant and 5-10min from the main street. When we checked out, the owner packed me a bag of water and snacks foe our drive back to Hanoi, so thoughtful! This place is a great value with friendly service and you're supporting a family owned business. We hope to come back one day and see more of Ninh Binh!
