- “The room was dirty, the staff was unhelpful, and the amenities were far below expectations.”

+ The staff really tried their best, some were just overworked or not experienced enough though.

- The room was a bit smelly, had a very small window facing a wall and I could hear the loud music until midnight.

Bon hostel mais je le trouve très surcôté par rapport aux notations sur le site. Sincèrement ça fait l'affaire pour quelques jours mais j'avoue que je m'attendais à mieux. Les espaces communs sont compliqués pour faire des rencontres et il n'y a pas d'activités proposées pour sociabiliser.

+ Està molt bé el fet que tingui piscina, però l’esmorzar és car i poc gustós. De fet, surt més a compte sortir de l’hotel, on ofereixen gastronomia local a preus més econòmics.

- La piscina és petita i no hi ha ningú que en controli l’accés. Molts cops no t’hi pots capbussar perquè els nens l’aclaparen. A més, alguns hostes no compleixen les normes de comportament i molesten bastant a la resta quan intenten descansar.

+ Vị trí trung tâm và không gian khá sạch sẽ.

- Thiếu đồ vệ sinh cá nhân như bàn trải đánh răng và dép đi trong phòng. Điều hoà không tự chỉnh nhiệt độ được. Sau khi check out k chủ động trả lại thẻ cccd cho khách.

I loved this hostel, the showers and rooms were clean and organisedand the place has a great atmosphere. the pool is very nice aswell. the staff are the nicest most accomodating people, when i left something behind there and only realised once I was in hanoi they able to find it and send it to me on the same day at no extra cost. would definitely reccomend staying here.

Wonderful hostel ! Great location, you can reach the center by foot. Rooms are modern, clean and super comfy !! We had an amazing sleep here. The bar is also great to meet people with the happy hour.

Une hébergement parfait pour un séjour à Cat Ba, l’emplacement est très central, proche des plages des Mart et des restaurants, le personnel est extrêmement gentil et aidant, les dortoirs et salles de bains sont très propres et nettoyés régulièrement. Les lits sont très spacieux avec beaucoup d’espace de rangements avec cadenas pour les affaires. Une des meilleurs hostel que j’ai pu tester pendant tout mon séjour au VietNam, je recommande à 100%

+ Had single room. Sunny, spacious and clean.

- Nothing too much. As mentioned by previous reviewer there is quite a backup sewage smell when running water. But this is not a deal breaker as it is not all the time. It is good value for the money. Only thing I would suggest is adding a kettle in the room as there is a little fridge. Had milk but could not make my tea!

- Everything was fine! Maybe the shower is far to close by the part to put your cloths

Everything was perfect except for the poor design of the shower, it's so small and you only have a tiny space to hang your clothes which get wet easily. Also, it's not very social. Other than that it’s literally perfect highly recommend
