I stayed here during a holiday/festival season when it was the only place available on Traveloka. The staff were okay—friendly enough—but the hotel clearly feels like it's past its prime. Things are falling apart, and it doesn’t seem like they’re putting any effort into maintenance anymore.
The room looked clean at first glance, but wasn’t properly deep cleaned—dirty corners and stained floors were easy to spot. The air conditioner was also a problem: it made loud noises and barely worked, so I had to turn it off to sleep.
Although I booked for 2 nights, I ended up leaving after the first and moved to a nearby homestay, which was a completely different (and much better) experience.
If you're planning to visit Ninh Binh, I highly recommend booking early to avoid situations like this and enjoy your trip to the fullest.
