The property is around 5.7 km from Ben Beo Harbour, 5.7 km from Cannon Fort and 5.9 km from Hospital Cave. Rooms have a balcony with a lake view.

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.

The receptionist Vu was absolutely amazing. He helped us organise a boat trip with kayaking and swimming, as well as recommending the nearby beach and a scenic route. We were only there for 2 days and 1 night and had to cut the second day short because of a storm warning. We would not have been able to maximise our time on Cat Ba without Vu! The hostel was also very comfortable, the loveliest staff at the downstairs restaurant, and would definitely recommend their mango smoothie, you will not regret it! There is also a rooftop bar with a great view of the harbour, where locals sometimes set off fireworks.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was clean, and the vibe was calm. The owner was very friendly and helpful. She helped me to get the bunk bed according to my needs. The day trip boat tour I booked through this hostel was great, as well as the transportation I've booked through this hostel.

    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).

    Great location, amazing breakfast and the staff went over and above to organise everything for us. They booked our boat tour of Ha Long Bay and organised bus to Ninh Binh. The food in the downstairs restaurant was great and reasonably priced and they had good music on every night. We had tried to book another well-known hostel in the area which was sold out, but I'm glad we ended up here as it had a much more traditional 'backpacker' type vibe than that place 😀

    The best hostel I have stayed in so far, the room and facilities were really good and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful, helped us in booking tours, transport and what to do while we were here. The dog is also very adorable as well, in a great location in the heart of Cat Ba, we added on a night because it was so nice

    definitely the best hostel I stayed in yet. The Pods are really big and the beds really comfortable. Way better than usual bunk beds. The staff is really helpful and helps you with everything. The receptionist spend like an hour calling the train hotlines and booking the perfect connection for me. Definitely go there.
