I really enjoyed staying at Sea Dragon Hotel. They offer very tasty breakfasts, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, I enjoyed various activities organized by the hostel, such as quizzes and yoga classes. The hostel also has video games and a pool table, and I saw many travelers doing that, which is also nice, and makes the stay a memorable experience.

What was not to like, good location although suggest scooter is a must, they hire them for less than 100k VND. The place is very clean, Can on reception who manages the place with his mum are awesome, friendly and super helpful. You do need google translate but they use it very well. Breakfast is basic but more than enough and for the price is amazing. Am sure if I asked for anything they would have sorted it but we just went with the flow. Cannot recommend this place enough , hot water , firm but comfortable bed with quiet aircon and or fan. Nice pool area and free pool and table tennis. Easy to get around island on scooters from here.

Cat Ba’s a proper little adventure — all dramatic limestone cliffs and buzzy harbour life. The national park is stunning, if you don’t mind a good hike, and a boat trip round Lan Ha Bay is an absolute must. The town itself is a bit scruffy and touristy in parts, but in a likeable, no-fuss kind of way. Loads of decent grub about, especially if you fancy fresh seafood. Not the polished resort experience, mind — it’s more backpacks and beers than poolside cocktails. But if you’re after brilliant scenery, easy boat access to the islands, and a laid-back vibe, it’s spot on. Just pack your sense of adventure and some trainers. Well worth a few nights.

There is a big building development in the old harbour, but the beaches are in wonderful bays unaffected by the works. There is also a great bus in the town at night and great restaurants. Lots to see and do, and easy to arrange 1 day or 1/2 boat tours of the amazing archipelago.

Coming back to Viet Nam after spending most of my life in...

Coming back to Viet Nam after spending most of my life in Australia always feels a bit surreal, and Cat Ba ended up being one of the highlights of this trip home. I was born in Viet Nam but grew up mostly in Sydney, so every time I return, I’m half-tourist, half-local. Cat Ba captured that mix perfectly — familiar in some ways, but still full of surprises. The island itself is stunning. The mix of limestone mountains, quiet fishing villages and that incredibly calm, green water hits different when you’ve been away for so long. I’ve travelled around Australia quite a bit, and while we’ve got beautiful beaches, there’s something special about cruising past those karst cliffs at sunrise — it reminds you why this part of the world is so unique. What surprised me most was how easy everything has become. Tours, transport, even food options — all way more organised compared to years ago. But the local vibe is still there. I had seafood on the waterfront that tasted like something straight out of my childhood, and the island pace is nice and slow in the best way. That said, it’s not perfect. Some parts of town get busy and a bit chaotic, especially around the main pier, and service can be hit-or-miss depending on where you go. But honestly, that’s all part of the charm if you’ve got the right mindset. After living overseas so long, I’ve learned to take it in stride. All up, Cat Ba was exactly what I needed — a bit of nostalgia, a bit of adventure, and a reminder of where I’m from. If you’re a Viet-overseas kid like me coming back to reconnect, Cat Ba is absolutely worth a few days. It made me feel both at home and on holiday at the same time, and that’s pretty hard to beat.

Just spent a few days in Cat Ba and honestly, it was super chill. The island feels way less crowded than Ha Long Bay but still has those gorgeous limestone cliffs and blue water vibes. I loved taking the boat tour around Lan Ha Bay — quieter, cleaner, and really peaceful. Seafood here is fresh and cheap, especially the grilled squid. The town itself is a bit touristy, but if you rent a scooter and explore the national park, it gets amazing real quick. Definitely worth visiting if you want nature without too much hype.

Cat Ba Island was a fantastic getaway.

Cat Ba Island was a fantastic getaway. The scenery is stunning, with towering limestone cliffs and calm, clear waters — Lan Ha Bay in particular felt peaceful and less crowded than Ha Long. We spent our days exploring the national park and renting scooters to see hidden beaches and viewpoints, which was a lot of fun. The town itself is relaxed, with plenty of good little cafés and seafood restaurants to refuel after a day of adventure. People were friendly and welcoming, and it felt easy to get around. Overall, Cat Ba is perfect for nature lovers who want a mix of activity and chill time — definitely worth a visit.

Enjoyed Cat Ba, but don’t go on others reviews for accomodation, check out places fully, we changed places twice and would have changed again but decided to stick it out, do not accept a bad room, ask for one which you believe you have paid for and as it was described when you booked it. Don’t book for a weekend or public holiday, the Vietnamese flood the town. We found best value places to eat and drink, cheapest and great food Oasis restaurant, The big man for good western food.

I had wonderful stay at Van Phuong Hotel Cat Ba. As it is the beginning of the season, the island feels very relaxing and not too crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel is clean, spacious, and well-ventilated, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. A special mention goes to Seven, the staff member, who was extremely friendly and approachable, always making sure guests felt welcome and well taken care of. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy Cat Ba in a peaceful and comfortable setting.

Green homestay is on the outskirts of Cat Ba town in a very quiet area. The homestay itself is beautifully set up around a central pool area. My room was a nice size and overlooked the pool. The staff were amazing all around. The breakfast was included in the price and was slighty underwhelming. The towels were changed every day which is nice given the pool and beaches. I used one of their scooters every day for small fee to check out the island and go into town. keep an eye on your gas levels!

We had a great stay at Charm Island Hotel. The rooms were very clean and had large comfortable beds. The owner was so kind and helpful with planning our day to make the most of the 1.5days we had in Cat Ba. He also sorted our bike rental which meant we could set off early the next day with no issues. We also appreciated that he allowed us to have a shower after our boat tour that finished at 12:30pm before our bus back to Hanoi. Overall great price and value, highly recommend. Thank you!

Overall, it is a great choice for a short stay in Cat Ba
