Cat Ba Bay Vision Hotel

Steps away from street food stalls and seafood hubs. Plus, the hotel's own breakfast coffee was surprisingly rich and delicious.

Location of the hotel was good

The staff not understanding English

This is a 1 star hotel so I didn't expect too much but I booked it because it is supposed to have great views. The front desk staff were nice, the room was spacious and the bed comfortable. It's located on the main street so close to everything.

For a one star hotel it is overpriced, except that it is supposed to have a wonderful view. The wonderful view is no more. There is now a massive development project where part of the bay used to be, so instead of a beautiful view you see a sea of houses (and construction cranes although those will go away), with the water and karsks far in the distance. This is not the hotel's fault but it should affect their pricing. The hotel is not dirty but it's also not super clean. There were a few bugs and it seemed whenever they cleaned it I found hair and wet dust bunnies laying around. Breakfast is very limited, so much so that I only ate there 2 out of the 4 nights I stayed. Little in the way of fruit or vegetables. But again, it's a one star hotel in the middle of the to

It’s a super cheap hotel so there isn’t much to expect, we stayed for one night which suited us fine

All was ok for us, there were building works going on (from 7am) in the hotel which no one told us about and there’s a massive complex being built in front, which is sad for all of the places that were there originally
