All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and certain units at the hostel have a patio. At Trang An Freedom Hood the rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

Bai Dinh Temple is 13 km from the hostel, while Phat Diem Cathedral is 35 km away. The nearest airport is Tho Xuan, 87 km from Trang An Freedom Hood, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

I was thrilled with the few days I was able to stay at Freedom Hood. It was such a great location with amazing views. The owners are lovely people, and we’re extremely helpful to give advice on where to go and best routes to get there. Food was also super tasty, cheaper and better than anything we got in town. Definitely not a party hostel, but somehow it was perfect to meet the others staying there so didn’t really feel alone at all.

Guest rooms in the hostel are fitted with a kettle. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and a hairdryer, certain rooms at Tam Coc White Swan Homestay also offer a city view. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

The homestay is run by an extremely nice family. They made us feel like a part of their family. We had dinner together. We arrived on 9.2.2024 (Tet) and they invited us to go to the temples with them. They make the best food and serve the best tea and coffee. You can rent a motorbike or a bicycle and they also organize rides to other places. Their hospitality cannot be properly described by words. If I had more time, I would have stayed longer. When I come back to Ninh Bing I will definitely stay with them again. I highly recommend this booking!

Set in Ninh Binh, within 21 km of Bai Dinh Temple and 28 km of Phat Diem Cathedral, City Garden Hostel offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is located 700 metres from Ninh Binh Stadium, 15 km from Thung Nham Bird Park Ecotourism and 1.5 km from Ninh Binh Train Station. The accommodation provides a tour desk, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests.

The location is in the center but all the nature activities are outside the city. So you probably want to choose something near tam coc or trang an. But if you wanna stay in the center, this place is the best. The people are very kind there. Usually the bus arrives in early morning and the check-in is at 2pm. So the nice lady gives everyone blanket and pillow and you can sleep before check-in! I really respect it so much! Thank you.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is one of the best hostels in the World! Amazing staff with excellent English skills. It has everything you could possibly want and is in the best location possible in Tam Coc, just a minutes walk from everything and some incredible restaurants and street food stalls.. it has super clean rooms and bathrooms with AC and fans, a really funky bar and restaurant, swimming pool, bike and motor bike hire, right next to the lake and the list goes on.. I’ve been to Tam Coc many times and it doesn’t get better than this!

    Such a lovely family running a very clean, comfortable homestay in a really great location in a quiet village near trang an (but still with restaurants). All the family went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful and didn't get annoyed when we checked in at 5am, kept our bags safe while we borrowed a scooter to go to cuc phuong overnight and even gave us water and bananas for the journey. Also the food was the cheapest around and very tasty and fresh!

    The Dormbeds are very comfortable, the common area is clean, as well the other facilities. We rent two bicyles (each 100K, same as motorbike). The stuff is very friendly, she recommended us some places to go in Ninh Binh. The breakfast is cheap and good. We arrived in the early morning with the Bus and could sit/ sleep in the common area, as well leave our luggage safe until we checked in. It is close to the center and good food options / Cafés available.

    Loved our stay here, the view is incredible, probably one of the best views from a homestay that I could tell from driving round. We had a room with a private bathroom etc, it was clean, working AC and a fan, and had hot water. The food was really yummy and so cheap, everything was reasonably priced. The staff were very helpful, especially the evening receptionist, she was so bubbly and welcoming. Great location to get to all the sights of ninh binh.

    Lovely family who were always so helpful and friendly even if they didn’t have amazing English. The beds were really comfortable and it was a great location in Tam Coc. Breakfast was basic but exactly what you’d expect for such a cheap price.

    The staff were helpful, and accomodating. They went out of their way to check in on us(we weren't feeling great after 3weeks of big travel) and booked things like the bus, even changing it after we figured we were too sick to catch it when we wanted to. The room was cosy, but comfortable, and clean. Exactly what we needed as cheap backpackers. The food is the resturant was delicious.

    It was such great value, we were greeted with fruit and juice/tea and had a quick check in to our room which was very clean, spacious and quiet. Nice hot shower. There’s a pool table in the courtyard and cheap bicycle rental.. the bikes are new and lovely to ride! It’s easy to get everywhere by cycling from hostel and there are lots of restaurants nearby! The host is very kind and helpful :)

    This is probably the best hostel to stay at in Ninh Binh and one of the best hostels I have stayed at. The pool is very clean. They are constantly cleaning for hours. The rooms are a perfect size and nice bathroom that was always nice and clean. The beds are very comfy however the coffin style makes it a bit hot. The staff are so friendly and genuinely nice. Perfect Location as well.
