Never again!

Worst hostel yet. After check-in a blanket and pillow were thrown into my arms and I was told to go upstairs after they gave me a bed number. I wondered all around the different dorm rooms eventually finding my bed. The worst was the overall cleanliness and the breakfast, which was revolting.

Decent budget hotel

After reading the reviews here, I was expecting my worst hotel nightmare. However, the hotel and its rooms weren't as bad as expected. We booked the superior room with sea view for two nights and was given a room overlooking the harbour on the 4th floor with a balcony. The view itself was really nice and the rooms were much larger than we anticipated. The cleanliness of the room was acceptable but it is a old hotel so don't expect a brand new renovated bathroom. The bathroom shower however was not enclosed so when you had one, the water goes everywhere. The breakfast was decent with several Asian dishes and bread. The noise is a bit of a problem with guests in the hotel as well as the surrounding buildings but it usually stops at around 10pm so we didn't have too much trouble. As such, would recommend for budget travellers who aren't looking for anything lavish but don't want to stay in a hostel with shared bathroom etc.

Cheap versus inexpensive.

I was disappointed with what we got for the price. This is the first hotel room in Vietnam that didn't give us bottled water. The breakfast on the Sunday was just ok. Monday there were fewer selections as there were fewer people and Tuesday there was even less. Water was not even an option. We did have a lovely view from our room but overall, I felt disappointed with our stay.

Don't bother

The hotel itself is quite dirty. I saw a rat hanging around in the halls and the staff was incredibly disrespectful and unwelcoming. You're better of staying at one of the other hotels nearby or spending a bit more for quality and comfort.

Some good, some bad

The staff were all helpful and lovely, especially the manager. The hotel is located right on the water, which affords nice views from the balcony (we got the superior room). Unfortunately, being on the water means that you are blasted with karaoke all night and, sometimes, during the day. Obviously, not the hotel's fault, but sleeping is a challenge. The room was big and the furniture was nice, but the mattress was only springs and the bathroom dingy.

Nice view from balcony

Check in was quick and easy, Internet was good most of the time. The hotel is a little set back from the road so a little quieter than some. It was in a good location , convienent to several of the better restaurants in town.

Decent hotel, great location, friendly staff

Decent hotel in a great location. We booked a double room with balcony on hotels.con for a better price than offered at reception. Walls are thin so earplugs were handy when sleeping - we like to sleep in. Wi-for was not so good and it seemed the (janitor?) kept unplugging g the modem in our hallway for some reason. Beds were decent, staff was friendly. All in all, we are happy with our stay here. I'd recommend.

Good location

Situated right on the main strip and only a two minute walk from the hydrofoil pier. Spacious room (Superior Twin), with sea views and a balcony. Only negative is the breakfast (very limited and basic) but plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. Would stay again.

Very handy

3 minute walk from ferry, and early check-in worked for us. Tourist info challenging with language, but many other tour bookers nearby. Basically an upmarket backpackers and sea view was nice. Hot showers were a function of timing and luck. Breakfast was pathetic. Luggage stored after check-out. Town is like Riviera in the 50s. Half day cruise of Lan An Bay just perfect, and cheap too. Fun place.

Out of season Visit

And it was cold - 50-60F and cloudy. The hotel provides heating in the rooms but the lobby and hallways are open to the weather. Also the bathroom is an add-on to the main building and un-heated? and the shower is open to the bathroom? Takes a while for the heat to dry out the room. Room is basic and poorly lit. Front desk was pleasant. Location was central to Cat Ba Town. Breakfast included but provided next door - fried eggs in a French baguette (my choice) and bad, cold,coffee!
