Kim An Homestay, Pizza - Café — Hotel in Hạ Long City

This place with no doubt is one of the best places that I’ve ever been in.

Oh my God.

Wen, Jack. No words for you both.

I can proudly say that I was the very first foreigner staying at Kim An. I arrived by chance led by my heart when I was riding my scooter looking for a stay in the area. As soon as I felt that’d be the area for me I saw Wen standing in the garden having a chat with someone. I pulled up and started having a chat with her. Right away I knew that was my place. Soon after Wen told me that she’d had just launched the place literally in the day before my arrival.

Soon after I put my bags in my room I met Jack Wen’s husband. What a gentleman. We had a such great talk but we were interrupted by this Vietnamese family (that also was staying in the place) inviting us for lunch. Yeah all this happened within 30 minutes that I had arrived in the place.

I stayed there for three nights. Honestly I could write a book about this encounter.

Once I arrived back to Hanoi where I had come from I realised that I had left my laptop behind. It was 10pm and I’d had my flight to Europe early in the morning from Hanoi. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do to pick it back up, that’s when Wen and Jack told me they’d bring my laptop back to me themselves. From Ha Long to Hanoi is two and half hours drive. I couldn’t believe it when they offered me such a thing.

They arrived in Hanoi at 5:30am with my laptop save and sound. I was sooo happy.

By the way their Homestay couldn’t have a better location. If you want to scape from the crowd and have a real local Vietnamese experience that’s the place to. Seriously you’ll love it.

Thanks Wen and...

Awesome place, awesome owners and staff! I had amazing time. From comfortable room, home atmosphere, nice views, garden, best smoothies to the beach just across the street with great sunsets and no people during the day :) if you are searching for a relaxed place with warm welcome out of the buzz of cities and prefer not being surrounded by people, shops and noise, this is a...

The Detroit-style pizza is an absolute game changer. The care and craftsmanship behind every component is evident - airy and caramelized crust, bold and zesty sauce, and just about every topping under the sun, all balanced artfully to create a culinary experience like that scene at the end of Ratatouille. An absolute must for lovers of...
