One of the best hostels I have been to! Very modern and clean, with helpful and friendly staff! There’s a bar at the top but the place is overall calm, which I appreciated. Away from the main road but easy to access. Besides communal toilets, you also have bathrooms in each dorm.

Perfect balance between social hostel and a chill stay. Probably one of the best room we had during our SE Asia trip for a very cheap price. They have different activities every night (barbecue, live music). They also have a pub crawl every night to go downtown because the hostel is a bit outside of the city. Very nice common area with chickens running around. Food was delicious (but a bit pricy depending on what you get). Free buffet breakfast was the best we’ve had. The staff was really nice and helped us book a bus to our next destination. Motorbike rental next to the hostel. They have a pool and a billiard table.

Lovely hostel with great staff and cool atmosphere. Also possible to travel with young kids, not too noisy at night, because at 24h00 they close the bar. Good food, you just have to wait a little before being served, but all in all a lovely experience for our family of 4! We can also recommend the tour we did, a 1 day tour with guide Ryan. You can book this here: https://catbalocal.com/about-us/

Beautiful spot way out in nature far from all the other places to stay on the island. Had a wonderful time here catching up with some friends I knew were here ~ if you're alone & there's no-one around it might seem a bit isolated but if you want the nature tip & especially if you know there are people here then it's perfect! Nice pool too, & the place is well equipped as a music venue if there's anything actually going on (not always..!)

Comparing to the price, what u could get from here is absolutely affordable. The owner was truly kind, warm-hearted and willing to answer all of my concerns. This place was also near the Tung Thu Beach and town centre, really convenient to moving for multiple purposes. Domik also has a restaurant located in the town centre, you must try it out, too.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Best hostel I've stayed regarding the room. Big comfy bed in a private pod, lots of storage, private locker, power sockets, small light.. A/C and fan in the room. 1 bathroom for 6 beds in the female only dorm. Great location too, so don't forget to enjoy the rooftop. The staff at the bar is very attentive. The girl at the reception had a great level of English and was very helpful unlike some of her colleagues downstairs which could use some hospitality training..

    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 😀

    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
