"This was a great little place to stay on Cat Ba. When we went it was just the start of the tourism season, and there were a lot of building works next door. The layout of the hotel is lovely but there are a LOT of stairs - ours ended up on the 4th floor with no lift available! The staff very kindly took our luggage up and down however but this is important to note! The breakfast is ok, nothing special, and doubtful they make it fresh when you order - I think they cook it that morning and leave...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Cát Bà?
The best area to stay in Cát Bà is Cát Bà Town, the main hub for visitors on the island.

Cát Bà Town is located on the south side of the island, facing out towards Lan Ha Bay. It's built around a crescent-shaped harbour, with hotels and restaurants lining the waterfront road, Đường 1/4. There are three public beaches, Cat Co 1, 2, and 3, which are easily accessible via a coastal path or a short walk from the town centre. Most of the island's amenities, such as tour operators, shops, and dining options, are concentrated here.

Couples looking for convenience and easy access to excursions often find Cát Bà Town ideal. From here, you can easily book boat trips into Lan Ha Bay, explore the town's eateries, or relax on one of the nearby beaches. Many hotels offer stunning views of the bay, great for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening sunset.

For families, staying slightly outside the immediate bustle of Cát Bà Town, perhaps along the road leading to Cat Co 3 beach, can be a good option. These areas offer a slightly quieter environment while still being within a short walk of the main town and its facilities.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Cát Bà?
Cát Bà's nightlife is generally more relaxed than some other Vietnamese destinations, but you'll still find several options, primarily concentrated in the main town area.

The waterfront promenade in Cát Bà town is the central spot for evening activities. You'll find numerous restaurants that convert into casual bars after dinner, often with outdoor seating overlooking the bay. Many of these establishments offer inexpensive cocktails, local beers, and sometimes live acoustic music. It's a good place for a relaxed drink and people-watching.

For a slightly more energetic evening, look for the establishments set back a street or two from the main promenade. These often feature louder music, sometimes with DJs, and stay open later. They tend to be popular with backpackers and offer a more social atmosphere with pool tables and dance areas.

There are also a few specific venues known for their rooftop bars, offering panoramic views of the bay, which can be a lovely setting for an evening drink.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Cát Bà.
How much is the nightly rate at a Cát Bà hotel?
Prices for hotels in Cát Bà often vary, but you can find a great deal from £7 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
