Find hotels near Nho Quan Town / Cuc Phuong in Ninh Bình, Vietnam

This small hotel has new clean rooms at ground level run by a friendly family. You can sit outside with views on the hills. We stayed for 5 nights and had most of our meals there. Food is excelent. The owner speaks english and deals with requests and issues (mattrass, hot water) quickly. The hotel is located 2 km from the Cuc Phuon Park entrance. The bus to Hanoi stops in front. We hired a motorbike from the owner of the hotel. This is a good way to explore both the national park and the surroundings. We could easily reach Trang An, Bai Dinh, Ninh Binh City and other sights from here on motorbike. Roads are mostly in good condition with few traffic. We also explored the small roads around Nho Quan. During our walks in Cuc Phuong National Park we saw very few other visitors (december).

Cuc Phuong Hotel should be listed as the Cuc Phuong Resort and Spa (it's correct name). We organised a driver from Hanoi Airport to take us direct to the pooperty in the Ninh Bihn district. The dricer dropped us at the Cuc Phuong Hotel - about 20 km away and when we realised we were at the wrong property we arranged for a taxi to find the correct property - which created confusion until we got him to call the resort for directions. Once we arrived we were delighted withe the property. It is very open and quiet with its own vegie gardens, golf course and facilities for conferences. It also features a large heated swimming pool with massage jaets and massages at good prices. The food is good and service friendly and attentive. The resort is about 4km before Cuc Phuong National Park (a good reference to give to drivers who don't know the resort's location). The park is worth a half day trip. We arranged a day trip through the resort and were considerably overcharged (when we later discovered the going prices). Also our driver didn't speak English. When we visited the national park the next day, we discovered we could arrange a driver through them at reasonable prices - but try to get an English speaking driver. We used them to transport us to Ninh Bihn Railway staion about an hour away. Overall a good hotel to chill out in and be pampered for say two days max.
