Le Clos du Fil

We booked two rooms for a mini break from Hanoi for Tet. Me and my husband and I had stayed here last year and really loved the hotel and location so we're keen to return with friends. The check-in was a bit of a nightmare as I assume they have had a change in policy since our last visit as they did not accept passport scans and insisted on our visa details, too. This was completely different from last year and awkward as our passports were in the process of being renewed, so we didn't have them to bring along. Eventually, they let us stay, but I couldn't help but think this could have been made clearer prior to arrival. The hotel sends out detailed information about the hotel prior to arriving, and this info should be added to that. The above aside, we all enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms were huge and super comfy with a great balcony. The breakfast was super tasty and varied enough for a few days. The pool is not heated, but it has a decent length and is okay when you get going with laps. We hired a few bikes for a morning, and these were much better than expected, very sturdy, and done the job easily

Le Clos du Fil is a wonderful oasis of peace in Van Lam Village, close to Ninh Binh. The hotels are fabulous exudes an atmosphere of calm and good taste. The hotel is beautifully decorated with old antiques and objects. Lovely rooms, a delicious restaurant, super pool and the ost courteous and friendly staff imaginable. We could not recommend it more highly, We had a ost wonderful 2 days there.

Staff impeccable, room spacious, view lovely, location a couple of blocks off the noisy main tourist street in town. Decor just a little understated, but still lovely. Corridors, stairwells, dining room, lobby and guest room spotless. Bed and bedding tops, comfortable. We fell asleep early and didn’t mind the neighborhood roosters making sure we were up in time for breakfast and activities. Food excellent. On site, active embroidery studio a lovely and authentic local touch.

Great welcoming staff that greet you with tea and a fresh cold towel. They then take you to your room through a bamboo and a hidden swimming pool the building has local embroidery (you can take a class & see how it is done). The rooms are beautiful & dimple. You are here to relax. & enjoy nature with a small village twist, no to watch TV.

Such a lovely, calm oasis in Tam Coc. A beautiful little hotel that felt like a soft place to land after a rather busy week travelling around North Vietnam. The owner had a very clear vision of the atmosphere she wanted to achieve and it all feels very thought through. Everywhere there are little hand embroidered details- the signs, the key hangers, the linen. Really beautiful! There is a lovely little gift shop as well selling hand embroidered gifts. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the food is good. We truly enjoyed our stay and will think back on it as one of the highlights of our trip.

We didn’t have long here but it was a great experience. Lovely hotel our room was beautiful large with balcony and stunning views. After a busy day and boat trip we chilled by the pool. Early breakfast before leaving for Halong Bay. Highly recommend.
