Hôtel très agréable, calme et personnel très chaleureux 🥰
Pros:

Hôtel situé un peu à l’écart dans un quartier résidentiel très calme, où nous avons bien dormi. L’accueil était chaleureux, tout le personnel est très attentionné. La chambre était spacieuse, la literie confortable, et la salle de bain très agréable, avec une bonne pression d’eau et un pare-douche, ce qui est un vrai +++ lors d’un voyage au Vietnam 🙏🏼

Cons:

Le seul point un peu moins pratique concernait la climatisation, qui fonctionnait seulement en mode soufflerie, rendant l’air assez humide et chaud, heureusement compensé par un ventilateur supplémentaire. Le wifi ne captait pas jusqu’à notre chambre au 2e étage.

Pros:

El trato del personal.

Cons:

Mas que un Hotel era una casa que habian medio reformado para sacar algunas habitaciones. Lejos de todo, la puerta de la habitación no cerraba bien y se quedaba un hueco ppr donde podias verlo todo. Mala ubicacion, en un barrio en mitad de la nada.

Passable
Pros:

The staff is great and supportive. The room is clean and well-prepared with facilities. Breakfast is delicious with 2 options. The TV has an Android TV box, which is a plus point for me.

Cons:

The hotel doesn't have an elevator, which is a minus point for me. And the door in my room was broken on that day. I was unable to check in in the afternoon because of that. Then, when I came back in the evening, it still hadn't been fixed.

Exceptional
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this small and cozy hotel!
Here’s what we especially appreciated:
• Warm and attentive staff — everyone was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Special thanks to Thảo for her friendliness and support — she made us feel truly welcome.
• Jackie, one of the owners, was amazing — he helped us call a taxi, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure we were comfortable at all times.
• Clean and comfortable rooms — with fresh towels, new bed linen, and everything we needed for a good rest.
• Delicious homemade breakfasts — simple, but very tasty and satisfying.
• Scooter rental right at the hotel — super convenient for exploring the area.
• While there’s no elevator, the staff happily helped us with our luggage both at check-in and check-out — truly great service!

Overall, it’s a lovely place with a warm atmosphere. We felt well taken care of and would gladly return. Thank you for everything!

Clean and friendly host
Pros:

Clean hotel. Very nice host. English speaking. Lovely family. Great service. Really helpful in organising personalised tours. Taxi needed to go to the center, but shop and fresh fruit at walking distance. Great place to touch and go Ninh Binh - like we did.

Comfortable hotel in isolated location.
Pros:

Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Hotel is quite isolated from other amenities like shops and restaurants unless you have transport. Hot water heater didn't work in the morning so cold showers assisted with waking us up.

A memorable trip for honeymoon in Melbourne Hotel
Pros:

It was fantastic trip I had. My husband and I had a wonderful trip in Ninh Binh to celebrate for our weeding. We booked The Melbourne hotel in 2day. It's so magnificent hotel which I have ever stayed before. The facilities were so modern, luxurious, clean and convenient. Beside, you have many choices for Double room, Twin Room or even Triple Room. Each room was set up with fresh fruits everyday,
and TV, Air-conditioner.Specially, the manager of hotel- Jackie Truong was so helpful and careful with many suggestions for us with tour, and wonderful places in Ninh Binh. If we have time to come back Vietnam, we will certainly book this Hotel once again.
Love The Melbourne and Ninh Binh

Perfect tour around Ninh Binh with Truong
Pros:

Truong was a very good guide eager to show us around. We visited Cuc Phuong National Park the first day and on the second day we visited all the landmarks of the city on a motorbike tour. I highly recommend both tours with him!

Ninh Binh, Tam Coc
Pros:

Our family of four stayed at the Melbourne Hotel for a day. Had a very comfortable stay. The hotel has all the amenities and Mr Jacky, the manager, is very helpful. He arranged a highly enjoyable trip for us. The meals are very good and the service very quick and friendly. In fact, the hotel gave us a nice feeling of staying in a family atmosphere. Truly a five star experience.

Very comfortable and friendly hosts
Pros:

Went to ninh binh with nothing planned and got a taxi to the Melbourne Hotel for a walk in booking. They quickly showed us some of their free rooms and allowed us to pick the ones we wanted.

Air conditioning in each room and they are very spacious. Great wash room en suite facilities. We got two rooms with double beds and they were very comfortable. Breakfast was free and comes with the price of the room which is very fair.

It is a fairly new hotel and the man who owns it is a very friendly gentleman. He was helpful in giving us advice about activities to do in ninh binh and offered to help book the bus when we asked about booking the sleeper bus to phong nah. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay and catch up on the z's!
