I found Cat Ba all round a bit disappointing. Possibly we were out of season and so it was a bit quiet, it defintely had the feel of somewhere that livens up at the right time of year, judging by the seedy cocktail names and western food on offer. We also found choosing a hotel pretty difficult as no where... More

We stayed here as part of an organised tour from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay. The hotel is on the sea front and is easy walking distance to the beaches and the busy part of town. However, it is one of the monstrosities of the bay and once inside, we found that the hotel reception is... More

Excellent location, with a fantastic view over the bay. Easy to walk to many bars and restaurants on the strip. Breakfast was sufficient and the service was quick and efficient. The rooms are clean and everything worked (and nothing flooded) Check in and check out was smooth.

Food terrible. Bathroom floor flooded. Reception refuse to return your passport to you once you check in until they have checked the room when you check out. Staff not helpful and they really struggle to speak any english. Avoid if possible.

I stayed there one night as part of a package tour. It is situated near the harbour, and one can take a stroll along the main street. The dinner was ordinary and nothing to write home about, considering how good food you get almost anywhere, and the breakfasdt the same. Service nothing special. The best thing I can say, is... More

We were setup at the Holiday View hotel as part of a bundled trip package and I really did not have a great experience there. I'll try to be concise in my explanation: - the staff were down right miserable, they gave us a dirty look when we made any request - the bed was old and dated, the springs... More

Our tourist agency booked this hotel for us and upon reading some of the not-so-lovely reviews, we were a little nervous. It wasn't glamorous, but certainly not a bad stay either. True, dinner was satisfactory, so we had some pho the following night.The basic bathroom is a standard that we found in mostly all Vietnamese bathrooms. But the room was... More
