Guest Houses in Cat Ba

While looking for a bus to come to Cat Ba Island in Hanoi, I asked for help by sending a message to the phone number of Napoli Hostel. While doing this, I stated that I did not speak enough English. The receptionist responded to me immediately and helped me. He paid for my bus ticket and bought me a ticket and sent me the location of the contact point so that I could get on the bus without any problems. I did not pay any fee to the bus company and he said that it would be paid at the hotel. He said that you do not pay for the bus and room in advance like in other places, but you pay when you leave. The room is very clean and has a separate toilet and bathroom and they give you a free towel upon arrival. The toilet and bathroom are very large, the beds are very clean and nice. It is a perfect quiet place for a comfortable sleep. There are varieties of breakfast and they are all nice and delicious. There are free cookies, biscuits and tea in the lobby. The girl working at the reception is your perfect organization partner and does not let anything happen otherwise. She arranged my boat tour and bought my bus ticket for the return to Hanoi and the prices are low. He took care of me in every way during my stay at the hotel and asked if I needed anything. I have been in Vietnam for more than a month and I can say that he is the best receptionist I have ever seen. I thank him.

The rooms are very spacious, spotless, and well-designed, giving a modern yet cozy atmosphere. The staff were extremely kind and always ready to assist with anything I needed, which made me feel truly welcome. Breakfast was varied and delicious, with both local and international options. What impressed me most were the tour packages to Lan Ha Bay — everything was well-organized, and the guides made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

The location and decor are excellent.

It's located in the center. Breathtaking view

Since we went on the Lan Ha Bay / Halong Bay Day Cruise, I wanted a place which was a little off the beach and in the interiors of Cat Ba. The property was exactly as advertised and was in a quiet, serene location with a backwater away from the commercialised aspects of the city (on the reclaimed beach front) while being situated about 2.5 km from the City Centre. There are only 3 rooms in the property, so it's not very crowded. What I really liked was the hospitality of our host, Phurong who was extremely proactive from the time we booked the hotel. She was the epitome of Vietnamese hospitality and the best host I have had in any homestay till date. She told us exactly where we needed to go, what we needed to avoid and put everything on my Google Maps (including over half a dozen restaurants). It is also better to book any rental bikes, bus tickets, cruise tickets through Phurong as it saves a lot of time and is at par with the market rates. The complimentary breakfast was amazing with a lot of exotic fruits on my plate. If I ever come to Cat Ba again, no matter what my budget is, I will book my stay at Cat Ba Corner. If you're still having second thoughts about this property, I say go for it. I have been where you are and am glad I decided to stay at Corner Cat Ba and wouldn't change a thing.
