Welcome to Ninh Binh

Where limestone giants
meet quiet rivers.

A modern hotel in the heart of one of Vietnam's most beautiful landscapes. Your gateway to Trang An, Tam Coc and beyond.

Welcome

Welcome to Camellia Hotel
Ninh Binh.

For some people, a hotel is a place for overnight sleep. For others, it is a temporary house. In both cases, we do our best to make you feel at home. With our motivated and friendly staff, we make sure you'll have memorable experiences, and want to come back.

Our modern, freshly decorated hotel and restaurant is clean and comfortable. Air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with Netflix and YouTube, free parking, and bike, scooter and car rental, all at honest value for money. With our hotel as your base, the many beautiful trips Ninh Binh has to offer are right outside your door.

What our guests say.

The best choice in Ninh Binh.

“Hotel is in Ninh Binh city and on the way to Trang An, so it's easy to get to all the famous places. The room is big and clean, I really appreciate how clean the bathroom is. Staff are nice and friendly, and the owner has his own restaurant with delicious food at a reasonable price. You're always served first.”

Good to Know

Frequently asked questions.

A few of the things our guests ask us most. Don't see your question here? Get in touch and we'll happily answer.

Where is Camellia Hotel located?

We're tucked into a quiet side street in the centre of Ninh Binh town, just a short ride from the Trang An gate that opens up to all the famous scenic spots in the region. From our door it's about ten minutes to Trang An, the Vinmart supermarket, ATMs, and the train and bus station. Tam Coc, Bich Dong, Hoa Lu, Kenh Ga, Bai Dinh Pagoda and Cuc Phuong National Park are all easy day trips. The street itself stays peaceful, so you can wander out into the action and come back to a quiet night's sleep.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is open from 14:00 until 23:30, and check-out is between 12:00 and 12:30. Arriving earlier or leaving later? Let us know in advance and we'll do everything we can to fit your travel plans. Our reception is staffed 24 hours a day, so whenever you walk in, someone will be there with a smile and a key.

How can I contact the hotel or make a booking?

The quickest ways to reach us are by email at ninhbinhcamelliahotel@gmail.com or by phone on +84 229 6333336. We answer in English, Vietnamese and our best impression of every other language. To book a room, you'll find direct links to Booking.com, Agoda and Google Hotels in our booking section. Prefer to book direct? Just drop us a line and we'll take care of it personally.

How far is the airport from the hotel?

We sit about 135 km south of Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, right in the heart of Ninh Binh town. The bus from Hanoi is the cheerful budget option, but if you'd rather skip the hassle after a long flight, our private pickup service collects you straight from arrivals and drives you to our front door. A nap on the back seat is allowed and even encouraged.

Do you offer airport transfers?

We do. Share your flight number and arrival time with us, and we'll have a driver waiting for you in the arrivals hall, name in hand, ready to drive you straight to the hotel. Same for the drive back when it's time to head home, so your last memory of Vietnam isn't a stressful one.

Is Wi-Fi included?

Yes, on the house. Fast Wi-Fi reaches every corner of the hotel, on as many devices as you'd like to connect. Every flat-screen TV is also fitted with Netflix and YouTube, so you can wind down at the end of a long day with something familiar.

Does the hotel have an elevator?

Yes. So whether you're travelling with one suitcase, three suitcases, or just a backpack, getting up to your room is the easy part of the day.

Is the hotel quiet?

Very. Every room has soundproof windows or double-glazed doors that keep the world outside, well, outside. Combined with our peaceful side-street location, our guests often tell us it's the best night's sleep they've had on the whole trip. We take that compliment seriously.

Is there a swimming pool?

Not at the hotel itself, no. There is a public swimming pool within easy walking distance though, and our reception team is happy to point you in the right direction or arrange a quick ride.

Can I store my luggage at the hotel while I travel?

Of course. Drop your bags with us before check-in, after check-out, or any time in between if you're heading off for a day trip. There's no charge, and your luggage is kept safely behind reception until you come back for it.

Should I book tours in advance?

Yes, we really recommend it, especially during peak holiday season. Booking ahead means we can lock in the best boats on the river, your favourite cooking class, and timings that fit around the rest of your trip. Our tour partners are happy to help you plan, with honest local advice about what's worth your time and what isn't.

Is smoking allowed?

To keep every room fresh for the next guest, the hotel itself is strictly non-smoking. If your room has a balcony, you're more than welcome to step out there for a quiet smoke whenever you like.

Why should I choose Camellia Hotel?

Because we treat every guest the way we'd want to be treated ourselves. Modern, spotlessly clean rooms; a central location with the best of Ninh Binh right outside your door; a small, friendly team who actually know the region; and an owner who runs the restaurant downstairs, where most of our favourite guest stories begin. Most of all, because we'd like you to leave thinking, “we'd come back here in a heartbeat.”
