We stayed at Chez Loan as part of a 4 night tour to Tam Coc and Mai Chau organized by Oriental Bridge travel. Like all the hotels we stayed at with Oriental Bridge, we were given their best room, which was clean and had a great view of the valley. We luckily speak French, as nobody speaks English here, though... More

This place is out of the way and kind of hard to get to, but that's what makes it worth the effort. We spent a few lazy days cycling around Tam Coc and waving at the locals in the rice fields. Ask Loan for her recommendations and splurge on the food - it's pricey for Vietnam but we didn't find... More

Located in Cam Tho, the hostel is a very short bike ride from some extremely picturesque locations, and the bikes are included. Much quieter than Ninh Binh and definitely quieter than Hanoi. We found that the price of her food was a bit high for Vietnam (a few bucks a plate), but extremely tasty (if you're a vegetarian, try the... More

Don't even bother to call if you don't speak English as the person who answers the phone can't say a word and doesn't even try. If you don't speak French you will not be welcomed so don't go. Food is terrible. More

Loan welcomes you as if you were a friend of hers, she arranged pick up at the station, our next train ticket and our next hotel booking. She lent us bicycles to go and visit all the sites around her hotel, excellent location by the way, in the middle of rice paddies, a unique experience. and the food was great,... More

Stayed there in the best room (301) for 3 nights. The hotel is well situated for visiting tam coc and the caves and temples around. The problem is that it's a bit out of town an because there is no light on the road at night, you have to have dinner at the hotel every night. Food is sometimes delicious... More

Let me preface this with, I don't speak french. at all.I don't know who stayed here and said there was no french being spoken. no english, maybe, but tons of french. Not only were there french guests but also french speaking vietnamese people. everyone kept speaking it to us. we were an american and two polish, not french speakers. ok,... More

Ms Loan is friendly, kind, and probably the first tourism industry operator we encountered in Vietnam who "gets it." We were not cheated! We were not lied to! This should not seem amazing, but once you've traveled Vietnam you will understand why it is. The hotel is out of the town center, which is really nice. (GPS coords if you... More

Our stay at Ms Loan's charming little guesthouse was perfect. The location is very pretty and pleasantly remote in a picturesque local village. Free bicycle use anytime meant we explored the local lanes and attractions cycling in fresh air with beautiful scenery. This hotel is perfectly located for Tam Coc - we cycled there at 8.30am before most tourist coaches... More
