Hoa Lu 2 Hotel

Very bad and dirty hotel. Do not stay here. Many more good/moderate hotel. Attached 1 is the photo of my room. Very DIRTY.nAttached 2 Breakfast very BAD.

Great hotel that we have ever stayed indeed! The young guy boss is really kind indeed! When we lost the wallet that contained our money, ATM cards, dirving licenses and ID cards he helped us how to find them. He contacted the local police, guided us how to get permission to air-plant without ID cards. He lend us 2 million VND. Finally, we did not found our stuff we thanked him very much indeed! What a good guy! Besides, the hotel was very clean, quite, center -located, proffessional receiptionist, well speaking english, good for foreigner, nice breakfast. He has also the good restaurant that not far away from the hotel. It is delicous, spicy, cheap! We ẹnoyed indeed! Thank you Jacky Truong for everything! Thank you Ninh Binh! See you soon!

he five stars are mainly for the delightful owner Jacky, who is just a pleasure to be around with. He is very helpful and since Ninh Binh is not very developped for the western traveller, it is very good to have him at hand with good advice for everything. Jackie is a very welcoming and attentive host and we spent three splendid days there (three nights) feeling very welcome and almost at home. The hotel is a regular place to stay. I would rate it 3star. Be aware that the standard room has no windows and its well worth the upgrade to deluxe room with ceiling to bottom windows. It was clean but carpet was very old. Bathroom new and beautiful and shining but with that funny shower without curtains so that the whole bathroom is wet after you shower. But we had this alot in SE Asia. Breakfast is good. The Neighborhood is very quiet and a living area, so you get a glimpse at authentic life in a small vietnamese city. Still the restaurants in the centre are within walking distance (15-20 min) or you can take the fantastic mountain bikes that Jacky rents out (or sometimes gives for free for a short time). We slept very, very well. We did the River / Temples / Pagodas tour with a private driver (25 US$ full day) and rented bycicles at the river (5US$/day/person), though feel free to go on bycicle or scooter (both rented out by Jackie). Don't miss the banana flower salad and the goat meat. I recommend the hotel 100%.

I have been stayed at Hoa Lu 2 Hotel 2 nights.The hotel was clean and very nice view with big window, all staff can talk English very well.The breakfast was delicious and water melon very nice for eat.I would like recommend this hotel.

It is good, clean, quiet, comfortable n friendly.
