Cat Ba
Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain rooms at the hostel also offer a mountain view. At Catba Buffalo Hostel each room comes with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. It's the best place I've ever stayed, I guess? The price seems impossibly low for everything included. Like breakfast in the morning, beer/barbecue in the evening, very clean modern rooms, super comfy beds, towels (for deposit, but you get it back). And the staff at the front desk is amazing! Ready to help with any question, arrange for your a taxi or whatever. I know for some people location was a bit of a problem, but I liked it staying out of town. Breakfast is included, dinner your can order right here at the hostel kitchen. If you wanna go party and explore night life, they have a bus that brings people to the town and back late in the evening/night (so at the hostel it's very quiet after 10:30pm). And then if you need to go somewhere just rent a bike right at the hostel (80k/day and they also have some real helmets, not those crappy caps!)

The host was incredibly warm and accommodating, ensuring that every detail was perfect for my stay. The room was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit.
One of the highlights was the location—it was serene and peaceful, offering a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, and the host even provided recommendations for local attractions and hidden gems, which made the trip even more memorable.
The hospitality truly stood out. From the delicious home-cooked meals to the thoughtful little touches, it felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming place to stay. It exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t wait to return!
Cat Ba
Situated on beautiful Cat Ba Island, The Oversleep Catba Hostel & Pool Bar 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. Upon arriving at CatBa Oversleep, I realized I had left my wallet on my sleeper bus and couldn’t provide a deposit. Their response was incredible — they immediately contacted the bus company, tracked down my wallet within minutes, and arranged for it to be returned to CatBa. Literal life savers! The staff also booked all my tours for me. I highly recommend the night kayaking trip with glow-in-the-dark plankton — such a cool experience! Their laundry service was great, and the daily happy hour is a fun, low-key way to meet other travelers. This isn’t a party hostel, so expect a more relaxed, chill vibe. But if you're looking for nightlife, you’re only a 5-minute walk from the two lively spots on the island. It’s easy to be lazy here — there are plenty of great restaurants and massage places within a 10-minute walk. Also, shoutout to the shower pressure here — probably the best I’ve experienced in all of Vietnam!

Great location and the room was perfect! Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Gem, who runs the hostel was fantastic! She organised tours and onward travel for us which worked out perfectly. The laundry service was great and it was ready to collect after breakfast.
One of the best hostels I have been to :) super sweet owner who was very helpful, cheap prices and rooms were clean, cool and very comfortable. Great selection of breakfast tho
Great place in Cat Ba! Good breakfast, amazing staff, perfect for solo backpackers. Additional plus - all the cute cats and dogs outside of the hostel
The Homestay was lovely, very clean, and the shower and hot water was amazing. Air conditioning was a heat in the humid heat. Staff were super friendly and very accommodating to our requests or needs. Felt super safe there, and just a short motorbike ride to town of Cat Ba. Also many cheap and yummy restaurants in walking distance right on the waters edge. Lovely area to socialise with friends or other guests, and the breakfasts were delicious. Thank you for our stay :)
Definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far. Clean room, comfortable bed and nice smelling sheets. Staff always available for anything, kind and smiling. Excellent breakfast with several choices. Great location and excellent value for money. Keep up the good work!
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 😀
Great location and a beautiful hostel. Incredibly sweet staff, well organized and really care about you. Super helpful no matter what you need. You feel safe and welcome. I loved the breakfast and the mini garden with a pool.
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
