My wife and I had booked a room with a sea view for two nights thinking that we would go on a trip the last day before returning to Hai Phong. After having checked in, it turned out to be more convenient for us to stay one night, go on a trip for two days and return to hotel for... More

Stayed at Duc Tuen hotel in Cat Ba city for two nights. Spacious rooms, clean, quiet, good A/C. Great breakfast and one of the better restaurants in town. Staff very helpful especially advising us to take earlier bus back to Hanoi. Could have said nothing and we would have stayed in bar for extra time spending more money but no... More

Very good value in a convenient location. The family-run staff can organise trips to Halong Bay and make travel arrangements for you. Everything was very efficiently organised and they made our stay easy and comfortable. They were also very patient in dealing with a very difficult travelling partner who was accompanying us (my apologies!!). Would definitely stay here again and... More

The staff is not very talkative but nice enough. We were a bit put off by the sheets which were not very clean as we are traveling with a baby it's something raher important. But for that nothing to add, it's a gateway to Halong Bay and it seemed to us that every hotel in Cat Ba is quiet the... More

Our stay on cat ba was for 2 nights so that we could do a day trip to the bay. This hotel served that purpose. It is pretty basic but for 12 dollars a night I guess you can't expect much else. Breakfast was good though and wife of the owner cooked eggs for you whenever you got up

The location of this hotel is great, right on the main strip of Cat Ba. We had the ocean view room which is additional but well worth it. Our room was very basic. We were blown away by the level of care from the owner, this was the real gem of staying here. The owner took the time to explain... More

This hotel may be basic (as are most in Cat Ba), but what a fantastic view! And it was so cheap. It is run and managed as a family hotel (a family sleeping area doubles as the computer room/upstairs restaurant; and the family is downstairs in the restaurant watching TV every night), but they are friendly enough. No pressure to... More
