Chau Son Garden Resort

A luxury hotel in a quiet area. Everything is new, room was spacious, bed linen was new, towels were fluffy The room cleaning was beyond praise. There was an outdoor swimming pool and a cozy garden with swings and elegant wrought-iron garden furniture. Breakfast, Vietnamese cuisine menu to choose from: delicious soups, tea, coffee. Many thanks to the staff for organizing excursions, calling a taxi and also for solving my small problem. Special thanks to Manager Loan for a wonderful evening in the city, hospitality and warmth

10/10 Detailed review from an American. Room: clean, modern, upscale. Western-style furniture. Spacious beds. Nice furniture, free toothbrushes and combs, lovely bathroom facilities. Noise level: PEACEFUL and QUIET! Relaxing, if you want to escape the city noise. It is the countryside after all. You can see water buffalo herds in the fields nearby if you take a walk outside the hotel. I can watch them from my hotel window. Staff and service: AMAZING! So friendly and helpful and honest hardworking staff. Won't cheat or scam. Use google translate if needed. Honestly the staff made our stay so good we extended the stay an extra day. Ask them for local recommendations (they don't get a kickback from any recommendations so its all genuine) Food: RECOMMENDED! Especially for travelers afraid of getting food poisoning or upset stomach from street food. Restaurant quality, home-cooked/cooked-to-order meal. Clean kitchen facility. Good prices, cheap. Made with love, the manager herself cooked a lot of the meals for us and they were delicious (for reference, im vietnamese-american so in my humble opinion, the authenticity is excellent and pleasing to a western palate as well. Personal Recommendation: Want a nice dinner thats still authentic? Order your food and eat outdoors in the cool of the evening, try the barbeque-it-yourself beef and goat. Delicious, hand-marinated quality beef cuts and goat, and they give you a little tabletop BBQ pit for you to bbq your meat just how you like it. Order some side dishes and its a great and fun family meal. If you want to and the staff aren't busy, they can bbq it for you if you want, but I think its fun to do it yourself. The location is out in the countryside but don't be alarmed because the hotel is a short drive from the main city center and tourist spots. The bad: - The beer is warm lol. They should refrigerate it. - Tip: if you ask for "wine", note that its vietnamese hard liquor, not the western understanding of wine (grapes). - There's a stupid rooster nearby from one of the local farms and it likes to crow all day. If you stay in the downstairs rooms you might be able to hear it, but if you stay in the upper floors you can't hear it. Would stay again.

DETAILED REVIEW 2023/2024 Overall Summary: 10/10, would definitely be my first pick again for Ninh Binh. Staff, Service, and Friendliness: 100/10. Wonderful, friendly and honest staff. They went above and beyond for us, giving suggestions, advice on itineraries, etc. Never felt taken advantage of and cheated. At the end of my initial stay, we decided to stay an extra 2 nights, and they even moved all of our packed-up luggage and drinks for us to the new room. Room: Excellent Spacious, looks nice, clean. The furniture is modern and new, not sticky or tacky. Reminds me of a western style hotel room. Bathroom has nice facilities and a rainfall style shower, the deluxe room even has spa-jet things if you like that. Toothbrushes and combs included in the room. Food: AMAZING! Made with love. Not soulless. Clean and safer than street food. - Recommend--＞ Order the Do-it-yourself Viet barbeque and sit outdoors for dinner. Plates of delicious marinated, seasoned raw meats, with a little stonefire tabletop bbq pit. Very fun experience for the family. Would order again. - The Food/dining is really good (I'm a viet-american) and reasonable price. It's basically a restaurant quality homecooked-meal, made to order, authentic viet food. Location: Quiet, safe, peaceful. Located on the edge of city in the countryside, short car ride from downtown. Only downside is a dumb rooster from a nearby farm that likes to crow all day, but you get used to it.

Chau Son resort is a beautiful resort with European architecture, comfort and relaxing atmosphere. The room was clean with upscale bedding/towel materials. Staffs were friendly and helpful such as lending us bicycles and transferring money for us to pay bus tickets. If we travel to Ninh Binh, we will stay at Chau Son resort again.

Staff are friendly
