Description
This is a great little place for those staying in Cat Ba for more than a night. First of all, it's got an internet cafe on the ground floor, which is quite convenient, and rare for Cat Ba. Second, the staff are courteous and friendly (also not always the case in Cat Ba). Third the rooms are bright and spacious -- all of them have good views of the bay through the distinctive cathedral-style windows. And finally, the back wall of the hotel is the cliff it rests up against! No fooling, go in and take a look for yourself. You walk up the first flight of interior stairs and there it is. We thought it was pretty cool. Good prices, too.

Cat Ba Harbour Inn
Nui Ngoc Rd (East), Cat Ba Island
The Harbour Inn is an interesting and unique place for Cat Ba. The entrance is via a large courtyard with cafe tables, and inside the lobby one is struck immediately by the old-time, nautical theme of the decor. The rooms are done in the same, kitschy style. They aren't very spacious, but they are... more
Quang Duc Family Hotel
Khu Cang Moi Rd, Cat Ba Island
Yes, there's a very popular guidebook out there that recommends this place -- the name escapes us. Lonely...something. Anyway, usually places give up trying after such a boon and live off the traffic it brings in, but not so here. It's still a great place to stay, with a friendly staff and clean,... more
Phong Lan Hotel
Khu Cang Moi Rd, Cat Ba Island
This place is one of the chosen sweeties of a very popular guide book, and it remains a reasonable choice, if only because the owner, Tung, speaks English quite well, and can be very helpful in sorting out tours, and activities while you're on the island. However, we felt he was resting on his... more
Giang Son
Khu Cang Moi Rd, Cat Ba Island
The Giang Son offers up some cheap rooms in a new and an old wing. The rooms in the old wing are a bit cramped, but acceptably clean. Try for one in the new wing for a little more elbow room. They have a small restaurant downstairs and enough room to accommodate tour groups -- if you're travelling... more
Trang Ahn
Khu Cang Moi Rd, Cat Ba Island
The Trang Ahn has spacious, clean, and bright doubles of a various sizes. There's a lot of difference from room to room, so look at a few before deciding. A good deal for the price, and it's near the centre of things, overlooking the water -- rooms at the front have pretty good... more
The Noble House
Khu Cang Moi Rd, Cat Ba Island
Though we panned the food in the Noble House's sidewalk restaurant in our Eat and Meet section for Cat Ba, the rest of the place is A-okay. The English theme, while bit goofy, is still fun, and the interior is nicely designed. There are bars on the second and third floors -- the latter being the... more
