The Vancouver Hotel - Ninh Binh

Our stay at The Vancouver Hotel was simply wonderful I cannot thank David enough for his generous hospitality. He efficiently arranged airport transfers for us, and considering we were arriving at 4:00am, we were really grateful for his help. The area around the hotel is quiet and lovely to walk around. David very kindly arranged a tour of Cuc Phuong National Park for us as well and it was the perfect addition to our itinerary. He also suggested a lot of places to eat and have coffee nearby :) I had my first taste of Vietnamese salt coffee in Ninh Binh and loved it!!! The hotel is walking distance from convenience stores and the Ninh Binh night market. The breakfast was really enjoyable. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thanks for having us David and for making our first visit to Vietnam so lovely!!!

I purposely left reviewing this hotel until I had finished my travels in Asia, Australia and South America to see if I found a better hotel. I didn’t. Located in a quite ally just off one of the main streets of Ninh Binh, The Vancouver Hotel is a gem. On arrival David Tuan and Mrs Cherry are welcoming hosts and check in is seamless. It's only when you reach your room that you get a real surprise. The rooms are magnificent, as good as a European 5*. Large and spacious, well lite and airy, extra large double bed and superb en-suite, all very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is simple but very tasty, Mrs Cherry’s banana or pineapple pancakes are to die for. David organized a tour for me with David Taylor Travel, picked up at the hotel and spent the day in a small group, with a very informative and friendly guide, visiting Brich Dong Pagoda, Hang Mua Cave, Hoa Lu, and the highlight ️ Trang An, by boat. All brilliant. Lunch was very nice and plenty of food for all. Overall, an excellent experience. David also booked my train to Hue and very kindly brought me to the train station the morning I was leaving. The Vancouver Hotel gets 10 out 10. Ninh Binh. The HIGHLIGHT of my stay in Vietnam. Lovely little town, friendly people, a really nice riverside walking street that comes alive at night with loads of food and drink options and a very family friendly atmosphere. The residents are doing a great job of trying to keep the town clean, with loads of bins all over the place. Would love to return.

The Vancouver is a fantastic hotel in a perfect location. The room was spotless, the beds were very comfy and there was such attention to detail.The breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious. David , who runs the hotel, couldn't have been more kind and helpful. He went above and beyond for us...he booked us a great tour, booked us a train to Hue (we were having difficulties getting a seat as they all seemed to be booked out ) and he even gave us a lift to the station. I cannot recommend The Vancouver highly enough.

This "family-run" hotel in Ninh Binh made me feel like one of their family, and yet is also as professional as they come! Besides the wonderful room and the lovely breakfast, the staff provided me with great answers to my questions, rented me a useful motorbike, provided excellent advice in finding a trekking tour to the nearby Cuc Phuong National Park, and arranged my follow-on railway connection.

Lovely stay here. The reviews here are great, and I can validate they are accurate. Exceptionally run hotel, prime location, perfect for a good night's rest when experiencing the beautiful nature of Ninh Binh. Start your day with a great breakfast on the house and off you go. The owner is a gentleman and very helpful. Can't imagine a better quick stay than here for this trip.
