Description
This place is usually hopping with Vietnamese tourists, even in low season. Maybe that's why we found the staff a bit distracted. It didn't help that the lobby is one, big, massive echo chamber and there were twenty people inside it all talking at once. When we saw the rooms, we couldn't quite understand why this place was a three star hotel -- they are characterless, if adequately clean and well-maintained. We suspect this place draws business mostly due to it's size, it's star-rating, and working with luxury tour operators. But for our money, the Princes Hotel around the corner has got it going on, and this place is dullsville.

One tour guide told us that people from his agency hated staying on Cat Ba because it was so dull, and that one had been reduced to tears after a fortnight there

You can tell from the exterior that the Princes Hotel is a touch of class among the common rabble. The interior delivers on the promise, with a nice lobby, and the rooms arranged around an interior atrium several stories high, with sky-lights at the top (and a net rigged on the bottom to catch... more
