Lovely location with a beautiful lake view, situated in a calm and cozy part of the city. The receptionist was amazing – incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English, the best I’ve encountered during my three stays in Vietnam. He shared lots of helpful information about Cát Bà, which made my stay even better. Scooter rental is also easily available through them, which was very convenient.

I recently stayed at Sea Dragon Hotel Cat Ba & Apartment, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The hotel offers clean, modern, and well-maintained rooms with stunning views of the surrounding area. The location is excellent, just a short walk to major attractions and convenient for travelers. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional hospitality of the staff. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. From helping with check-in to providing recommendations for dining and activities, the service was impeccable and made my stay stress-free.

Cat Ba’s a proper little adventure — all dramatic limestone...

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.

Clearly the best hotel in Cat Ba with a nice Indochine style! The pool and wellness area both on the ground floor but also on the roof top are stunning! Superb service and you also have access to the public beach number 3 which is the nicest in Cat Ba. The room was beautiful and the restaurant options great! The best food we had in Vietnam! Great location for starting kayaking tours around the Island as well.

The owner was very kind and helpful. He assisted me with booking a transfer from Hanoi to Cat Ba Island and then from Cat Ba to Cao Bang. He also took care of my laundry. The hotel is located in the city centre, close to everything. I enjoyed the breakfast there with the tastiest black coffee I had in Vietnam.
