This place is for those who love peace and quiet. There are no loud parties or loud music. But there is a wonderful breakfast, wonderful staff who are ready to help you. Cozy rooms, nice showers. The rooms are cleaned every day. At your request, they can change your towel at any time. Very good breakfasts: omelette, pancakes, fruits. In the room you also have a balcony to dry your swimming stuff.

I only stayed one night at The One Hostel in Cat ba, but I wish I could have stayed longer! This place is truly special—an amazing atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, and so many activities to enjoy. From yoga sessions and evening quizzes to getaway dinners, billiards, and endless games, there’s never a dull moment. One of the best things about this hostel is how easy it is to book trips, buses, and activities right at the front desk—all at reasonable prices and with incredibly helpful staff who make everything smooth and hassle-free. The breakfast was great, and the overall vibe of the place is just perfect for meeting like-minded travelers. It’s so easy to connect with people here, and that makes the experience even better. If you’re ever in Cat ba, don’t miss the chance to stay at The One Hostel! I’ll definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

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.

    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
