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. The staff here is fantastic—special shoutout to the bartender, who’s not only great at making drinks but also an excellent chess player! The happy hour is definitely worth it, offering a great atmosphere to meet fellow travelers. While the hostel is a bit outside the town center, they make up for it with convenient motorbike and bicycle rentals. Plus, they provide a shuttle bus at 10 PM and 1 AM, making it easy to enjoy the nightlife without worrying about the commute.

Set within 2.4 km of Bai Chay Beach, BBQ Hostel Ha Long 2 in Ha Long features a number of amenities including a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a garden, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. I can’t tell much about this hostel (apart from being in a very fancy and new neighbourhood overlooking the port) as when we arrived we were told that the hostel was overbooked. However, we were transferred to another BBQ Hostel downtown which worked even better for us; from there we could easily walk down the marina, along the bay and reach cafés, restaurants and the city market. The staff, besides being friendly and speaking English, helped with everything including booking a boat trip on the breathtaking Ha Long Bay, the bus to Hanoi and commuting to the ferry and bus station. They were also really patient with our requests, and I loved taking part to the family atmosphere of this accomodation.
