Small clean room at the back, so reasonably quiet. Comfortable bed, all you need for a short stay. Friendly staff. Cafe downstairs does good coffee in the morning. The owner put me up free after his tourist boat failed to deliver me to Halong City. In the middle of Halong bay we failed to find his brothers boat and it... More

I stayed for 2 nights in this hotel in Cat Ba town. It is a simple hotel, nothing luxurious, but at the price paid you cannot expect more. The room I was given was huge compared to all other rooms I had in Vietnam. It was clean, although the bathroom looked a bit outworn. The room had a TV, which... More

Quite simply, this is the best budget choice in Cat Ba. We had a room with a sea view, beautiful view, great size, AC & fan, ensuite bathroom clean and shower hot. There doesn't seem to be a website for this hotel and links on booking.com & agoda don't work, but we asked our hotel in Hue to phone for... More

Great views but the owner sulked when we didn't go out on his brothers boat. Avoid their food too - its below average. Head to Bamboo around the corner.

I looked at a couple of rooms in different hotels but chose this one as the staff were very friendly and there... More

We arranged third floor, in spacious rooms... More

The manager (the tall guy in the reception who speaks good English) who runs this hotel is helpful, friendly and always ready to give any advice (the best of all, he is not pushing you to get his tours but once you are interested on booking a tour for sure he will give you all the information you need). My... More

We stayed at this Hotel for three nights and felt so at home! The staff is so friendly and chilled out. Nobody tries to hassel you with tours and this is thanks to the incredible English speaking manager named Ouchaza. The only thing you get from this man is honesty and friendliness and that in the most scammy and touristic... More

We stayed at the Song Chanh hotel for 3 nights and have to say that it was one of the best budget hotels we stayed in Vietnam. The rooms are big and airy extremely clean and usually come with a beautiful view of the bay. The beds are very comfortable, Cable TV, air con and a fan is included in... More
