This hostel was amazing! Ben and Ori were excellent volunteers and made the stay phenomena. The pool is very clean for a hostel and the burgers were surprisingly good. The free breakfast is all you can eat off the breakfast menu and really makes the cost of the stay a great value.

Situated on beautiful Cat Ba Island, The Oversleep Catba Hostel sits along Lan Ha Bay and is just a 10-minute walk from Cat Ba Market and steps from the ferry terminal. Rooms offer balconies with views of Cat Ba Bay or the city.

The staff is amazing. From the first moment I felt so welcomed. If I had any questions they would know the answers or help me to the right tools. The hostel itself is very modern (it just openend) and clean. The beds are good and the toilets and shower are nice (and seperated from eachother). In the evening they have a happy hour when you get free beer at the pool bar. We had lots of fun! I only booked one night but that quickly became two because I had a great time ☺️

This was the BEST hostel I’ve stayed in so far! Very nice clean rooms with huge beds that two people could easily fit in..it’s a room within a room! Beautiful rooftop bar that’s the perfect place to watch the sunset. And the first floor is a restaurant that people come to even if they’re not staying there. Breakfast is included and really tasty. You will be close to all the things to do and places to party (but b/c of that the only downside is that it is loud. late into the night. hope you have earplugs). Otherwise, you won’t find a better place to stay on Cat Ba!

    The best hostel in Vietnam so far. Social life, breakfast, comfortable beds and cheap, that's all you need. It's a new building so everything is pretty new (March 2024).

    We stayed there for four nights and had a lovely stay. The accommodation is very central and everything is within walking distance. The family that runs the hotel is very friendly and you can have an authentic and warm experience. They can book buses and tours for you at local prices, the cheapest deals we've seen on Cat Ba. The accommodation is basic but for us as low budget travellers it was just right and the included breakfast was delicious. It was a great experience due to the really outstanding friendly host.

    The lady from the Hostel is very nice and kind. We arrived at 7am and we easily booked a 1day tour in HanLa bay for 8:30am the same day. The restaurant down the Hostel "Yummy 1" is very good and cheap. The Hostel is very well located.

    This place is located by the main road, close to everything. The rooms are big, beds comfy and the bathroom clean. WiFi works very well. If you chose the room with a sea view, the landscape is stunning. The owner is kind, attentive and helps with booking tours (cheaper than in the hostel nearby). Breakfast options are fine, available from 6.30am
