Book Cheap Hotels in Phu Ly

Cozy room and kind staff and generally good hotel.

In November I stayed here for 3 nights while I spent my days riding pillion around the area en route to the many sites. I was made to feel at home in the hotels (there are 2 separated by a few shops between them While the owners do not speak English, they were very gratious and welcoming. The 2 daughters and the manager all are fluent English speakers . Someone was always available and pleased to help me with any travel arrangements or needs to make myself more comfortable. The room was clean and very comfortable with a soft bed with lovely sheets.

The first good impression was when Scott picked us up at the bus station in the city of Ninh Bing and drove us through the countryside to his home in a small village about 20 km away. The homestay was clean and modern, and indeed the home of a multi-generational family that lived among their guests. The individual rooms had superb views of the idyllic neighborhood, and the common area was sheltered outdoors with tables for dining. Scott’s wife consistently prepared the best and most abundant meals we had in Vietnam, prepared from foods chosen freshly each day from the morning market. We dined with other guests from all over the world, making for good company at the homestay and on tours that Scott guided or planned out for us on bicycle. He provided a depth of insight that only a local resident could know. He is truly interested in giving his guests the fullest experience for the time they are there.
