to get started.

They had a great environment with a social/party scene each night. Ends at 11pm so people can sleep. Good food and happy hour deals. Would 100% stay again!

Cute pool area. Great staff at the front desk. Good breakfast.

Sarah

I loved the pool. It was clean and so refreshing. The staff were lovely and helped us organise bike hire, taxis etc. Bathroom was clean. The lockers were a good size and key card locked. Also, its hard to complain at a low price point.

Paige

The bungalow in general was ok. Spacious enough and clean. Pool to cool down. Breakfast was definitely good, more than what you get in general for breakfast in a hostel when included in price. Good happy hour deals in the bar.

Joris

Pool and nice staff. Cocktail happy hour and balloon happy hour. foods fine.

Sam

The breakfast wasn't too bad. This place for it's cheap price is perfect for one night.

Pablo

It was often cleaned, the bed was made and the bathroom was cleaned! Its a few minutes from the town centre but the hostel rents motorcycles for super cheap (80k). The halong bay tour they promote is AMAZING! Food and drink at the hostel is also pretty good and cheap! Good hostel! The pool is also an amazing plus to escape the heat

Great pool and the staff was helpful for booking tours, bus tickets, and renting bikes

The bungalow was awesome! I loved how quaint it felt and being surrounded with all that beautiful wood felt so perfectly rustic in a great way! All you can eat buffet breakfast was nice too!

Some amazing staff - we originally booked a bungalow but wasn’t to our taste and they moved us to a double room, this room was great! Spacious, clean and comfortable. Booked our travel and tours with them (could probably of got cheaper elsewhere but convenience wins). Good restaurant and bar! Rented a bike from them too which made it a good place to explore.

Breakfast buffet was good but the staff is not prepared. They refused to bring me some coffee because I arrived at 9:30 when breakfast is finished. A little more flexibility towards the client would be appreciated. The location is not so good.

If you feel like hanging out with other international tourists and seclude yourself from the vibrant city of cat ba, then the hostel is perfect for you. We were personally seeking more of an authentic experience and we did not find in the stay to be up to our expectations - on top of that the toilet was broken and overall the stay was quite expensive.
