We had this hotel as part of a three day Halong Bay tour with one night on Cat Ba island. When we were there they were totally renovating the whole hotel and if you try to look through the mess now you can see that they are really making an very nice hotel. Construction stops at 5 so that's early... More

This was truly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It was booked as part of a tour, and I had made the mistake of assuming that since it was a reputable tour company, the choice of accommodations would be, at the least, decent. And, I understand that booking cheaper hotels is one of the ways a package tour... More

This three stars hotel is a fake! (as the pictures of the website). The service is poor, well inexistant in fact. The room was dirty, no enought hot water, no hair dryer, not welcoming drink or basket fruits as they mentioned on their beautifull website. The food was not good at all, and the restaurant seems to be on-building. Flee... More

The reason for Terrible feedback is that there was renovation going on when we stayed. It was not told when reserving the room (of course). Considering the wideness and noisiness of the renovation the hotel should have been closed. We got an unplesant wake up at 5 AM when the work started and continued until the night. We checked out...

This hotel was a building site which we were woken up very early each morning to. Arriving at breakfast we then had to wait around for 45 minutes before any food was put out on the buffet. This was hardly worth the wait and consisted of a very basic selection of bread and fruit. The rooms were very dated and... More

Stayed here for 4 night, paid around $30 USD a night, for a large room, T.V., bathroom, window, A/C, fan, Wifi, and breakfast. Not a bad pick at all for a budget hotel, the outside was freshly painted but the inside was a little worn but still very clean and tidy. The wifi was awful, I had to go up... More

A larger hotel offering quality rooms and service at a great price. Well located and easy walking to what CatBa town had to offer. A good breakfast in pleasant surroundings. Pleasant and helpful staff, especially the enthusiastic trainee manager, Pham Tuan who does a great job
