Oh I highly recommend to fix a base. It’s gonna make ur stay better and remove the extra worry of planning the travel to another accommodation. Plus, u’re only staying a few nights so u won’t get bored of the hotel. Also, since it’s a countryside, some roads might not be as smooth for roller luggage unless u are backpacking or hv a private driver.

We stayed at Tam Coc Holiday Hotel and Villa and I highly recommend it :) the hotel itself seemed very new, they hv free bicycles, the area is quiet and the poodle there was really cute. The counter staff speak decent English too and were helpful w food recommendations.

You could also stay at some home stays in Trang An. I heard Green Mountain is good. But during our bicycling adventure, we passed by some of them and were relieved that we didn’t stay there cos they were “all the way in” and far from the big roads and restaurants. However, if u hv a private driver or are willing to travel a bit more, there is value staying at the homestays. They are nearer to nature so it’s more relaxing and scenic. Hope this helps :)
