Best views in Cat Ba”
We really enjoyed the view from our room looking out over the town and boats and parts of the bay. It might be one of the best views in Cat Ba :) The hotel is also a short walk from a lovely beach that we were able to swim in. We'd definitely stay here again.

Exceptional”
We had a deluxe double and were very happy with our choice. An extraordinary view, very clean rooms, soft beds. The breakfast was good, also the menu of the restaurant. The location is apart from the town (and we were happy about the quiet place), in 5 minutes walk you have an incredible beach. We also booked two tours - kayaking and a tour to monkey island, both was well organized. The only thing we didn't like we're some rats on the territory, which is awful on itself, and some animals upon the roof, so I had to sleep with ear plugs.

Private room with an amazing view. ”
The staff here were friendly and helpful and breakfast was included which is great. The bungalows are dated but very cleans if you can manage stairs it has the best views of the bay. We enjoyed the short walk out of the busy town to the views from our hotel bungalow with a private deck. Originally booked for three nights and stayed for 6.

Great location ”
Really nice place, great view from the restaurant and from the room. Was a bit worried about the potential for late night karaoke but this didn't happen when we stayed.

Nice location and view”
Stunning location easily walkable to the main street of catba. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive throughout our staff. The hostel is currently under significant renovations with only a small number of rooms completed. I think it will be an amazing place to stay once they are completed but wouldn't recommend staying here until after the middle of 2023

Great location”
Great location overlooking the water. Further away fron the bustle of the main street but easy walking distance, however through no fault of their own it was very noisy. Music travelled across the bay and played loudly almost all night. Also ants found in the room and crawling across the bed. Great location though, easy walk to main street and Beach 3.

Okay”
Stay was okay. 5 star for location and view and 4 star for food. I don't think the rooms are 4 star worthy thou. But excellent helpful staff.

Amazing Location, Oh those views!”
There's TONS of bargain accommodation in Cat Ba town, especially out of season (December was almost DESERTED!) but this place has the edge in terms of location. The tourist strip is a line of concrete buildings with shops and restaurants at street level, they're ok if you like that kinda thing but this place is a few hundred meters past the end of these on its own private headland. Delightful! I can't vouch for the dorm rooms though my fellow guests seemed happy enough, I had the one double en-suite. Downside was that it was a bit characterless and dated, and the tiled floor above could be a bit noisy at times. Upside was the huge window with dreamy island and junk boat view. Grew to love it. There are benches on 2 levels outside with decent food and drinks on offer. Was woken one morning at 6 by a hoard of Chinese tourists who have no qualms about noisily wandering onto private property at dawn! The owner is a genuinely lovely bloke with great English, he and his family made me feel very welcome, was chuffed to join the local blokes of all ages jovially watching the British footie! The staff are sweet and are trying to improve their pigeon English, good service too. I booked a boat trip via here and was delighted, characterful, great super friendly guides and amazing food, not at all the gaudy and lary cruises that (occasionally) haunt Ha Long bay. I have fond memories of Le Pont and hope you enjoy it too.

awesome location sind most stunning views ”
we stayed in a bungalow for three nights with amazing views over the ocean from our window. couldn't find a better place on cat ba island. breakfast was a great choice of local and western food buffet with fresh fruit and salad. bungalows are nice, clean and cozy. bathrooms super clean, also public ones. very good location, just five minutes by foot to central passing beautiful floating fish restaurants. !!!The best though was the food at the sister hotel “le pont“ in town. my highest recommendation to go for dinner. freshest and most delicious seafood we have tasted in a long time!

Perfect place to recharge”
I ended up spending two weeks on Cat Ba Island and a huge reason why is because this hostel was the ideal place to stay for a while and recharge before resuming my travels. Delicious breakfast buffets every morning, waking up to the ocean waves lapping over the rocks, several decks and balconies for reading or relaxing, stunning beaches a few minutes walk up the road and town and all the restaurants a few minutes the other way. Easy to meet other travelers in the dorm room. Lovely, professional staff. Rooms were cleaned extensively around the same time each day. Would 10/10 recommend!

Hostel with character and great location”
We stayed 2 nights in a private bugalow with shared bathroom first night then private on the second. The beds were really comfortable and the views of the bay are brilliant. The location of the hostel is a short walk from the main stretch of other hostels/hotels which meant you could walk there when needed although the hostel do offer scooter hire which we did on both days for around £3.50 a day. It's a great place to stay and explore Cat Ba Island.

Best Location on the Island”
I traveled alone in Vietnam by motorbike for over 2 months & this was one of the nicest hostels I stayed in. I actually stayed at another hostel my first night on Cat Ba but didn't like it so spent a few hours driving around looking at hostels & this one is BY FAR the best. The location was perfect: it'a about 1 km away from the city - close enough to walk in for food, but far enough away to not be bothered by all the busloads of tourists. The view from Le Pont was incredible: it's situated on the tip of a peninsula with spectacular views of both the bay & the town. I stayed in the dorm room for 96,000 dong (less than $5), which included a HUGE buffet breakfast, cooked to order eggs & more food than you can imagine. I've recommended this place to a bunch of other travelers i met along the way & you should stay here too.

Nice hostel with fantastic location”
Same as other reviews, there's nothing else to say about this place's location but one word: Fantastic. This could be considered as the hotel with the best view in Cat Ba, which is even more impressive if you take a look at such low price they offer. We stayed in the double room on the top roof (there's just 2 of those) for only $10. It's quite a small room but comfortable. They have AC and the window look right to the bay. Sometimes looking out from that window makes me feel like I'm on a cruise in the middle of the bay. There's also a large yard in front of the room with tables. An amazing place to watch sunset (see photo). Downside is that they don't have fridge and the room would be a bit hot at first in the summer time (when the AC is off) The staff is nice and helpful. They're willing to help out with any question you have regarding to what to do and where to go in the area. There's nothing special to say about the food here honestly. We had breakfast with egg, butter with bread and some tea, which are edible. I would recommend you to walk a bit down to the city where there's various of options. It just take about 10 mins walking. However the biggest drawback of the place is perhaps its facility. If you stay in a dorm or double bed rooms, you shall have to share the bathroom and there's only two. Good point is that they're all clean.There's also just a limit number of rooms and beds. I had a chance to take a look at the dorm. A decent and organized place with lots of privacy. So if you're the type of person who values the great view and location more than a comfortable and luxurious room, you'll definitely not regret staying here. A perfect place for backpackers. But if a high class comfortable bed or a large private room is a must to you, this is not the best offer.

Perfect! ”
Very friendly staff. We ate some local fruit together, they will help you with everything. We really liked the bar. Nice place, amazing view. The bungalows were clean. Very close to the beach. This place was perfect! We think this is the best place to stay in Cat Ba!

Just far enough away from the 'action' of Cat Ba town but an easy walk (~10 minutes) if you feel the need to wander that way. Therefore, convenient, easy to get to, very affordable, delightfully pleasant & helpful staff, nice views of the harbor, especially the stunning sunset, & everything you could need right on sight. Highly recommend.

Relaxing hotel in a great location. ”
My husband and I stayed at the Le Pont in their private bungalow. I would definitely recommend this place because, it’s clean, offers great views of the harbor, and it’s walking distance to many restaurants, cafes, and Lan Ha Bay tour operators. What I love most about this place is the staff - they are so friendly, helpful, and honest. I’m used to getting scammed at hostels, so I’m always on guard. At this place, they charged a fair, honest price and they even give you a 10% discount if you eat at their restaurant.

Brill!!!”
We were on the bus up to the hostel and we saw Le Pont out of the window and said "that looks amazing, I wish we were staying there"... turns out that was Le Pont!! Even the bus driver said it was very beautiful. Great location, 10 minute walk from town, but worth being a bit away from town. 5-10 min walk to two lovely beaches. Can hire a scooter for 100,000 dong for the day. Definitely recommend the $15 day tour - was superb value for money! Room had spectacular views, but was very basic. But we were only there to sleep so didn't mind!
