They offer Hagiang Buffalo tours and Halong Hideaway which are the best ones I recommend to do when you are in Vietnam. Also, the hostel is very clean with very good facilities.

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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..

    The best hostel in Vietnam so far. Social life, breakfast, comfortable beds and cheap, that's all you need. It's a new building so everything is pretty new (March 2024).

    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 😀

    Great location. They offer cheap scooter rental and trips from the hostel. I did the boat trip and it was really nice! They offer freshly made omelettes/scrambled eggs and pancakes at breakfast.

    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
