Golden Bell Backpacker Hostel

Super nice ladies, cheap prices

The room was without window so a little bit humid

Good location, they let you check-in early for 50.000. AC worked fine

We got a room on the 4th floor without any windows and the door was a sliding glass door which you can still open/slide even though you locked the door. The vibe of the hostel not existent, it is just a place to stay for one night before you are heading to the next city.

Big room. Clean shared bathroom. Option to rent a motorbike and bicycle ( many hostels provide bicycles for free).

Room wasn't clean and was smelly. AC didn't work. Staff care for the money more than anything, mentioning payment all the time. I really tried not to "bother" them, and felt that they are not available to help. Location is far from Tam Coc and boring.

shared bathroom was ok. The private room is big and the bed comfortable.

The room was smelly and dirty in parts. The location is boring. Staff was focused very much on mone, which gave me an unpleasant experience.

Cost. The young girl on reception was super helpful

You get what you pay for here at $2 per night. Beds weren’t comfortable, bag storage under the bed had a pretty feeble lock. Lots of the reception work was done by a young girl with the older lady sleeping which felt a bit odd. They also weren’t particularly helpful with communicating around when my bus collection would arrive or even give me a ticket or confirmation for my bus after I’d booked it through them.

Our stay in Ninh Binh was very nice, comfortable and peaceful. The ladies who work here helped us with the laundry, we rented a motorbike from them and they sell beers as well. Thank you for everything. We already miss your cute son!

Spacious room, comfortable bed. The shared bathroom facilities were SPOTLESS - we stayed 5 nights and never were there any issues. Laundry available for 25D a Kg. Plenty of food/drink/shop options nearby.

This is more a homestay rather than hostel so doesn't have typical facilities such as kitchen/kettle etc. Also it is quite far from the tourist spots in Ninh Binh - we walked from the hostel comfortably but if that isn't for you you will need to take taxis. Not an issue and not impacting on score (would really recommend!) But for awareness.

Clean, staff friendly, very near in places to eat etc.
