The property is around 5.7 km from Ben Beo Harbour, 5.7 km from Cannon Fort and 5.9 km from Hospital Cave. Rooms have a balcony with a lake view.

The bar downstairs had the BEST drinks and food! Lots of vegan options as well. I appreciated that all the staff were very helpful and friendly and made it easy to book motorcycles, call taxis and book tours. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a place to unwind and relax! P.S: They have the CUTEST kittens and dogs at the hostel :)

Situated on beautiful Cat Ba Island, The Oversleep Catba Hostel sits along Lan Ha Bay and is just a 10-minute walk from Cat Ba Market and steps from the ferry terminal. Rooms offer balconies with views of Cat Ba Bay or the city.

The staff is amazing. From the first moment I felt so welcomed. If I had any questions they would know the answers or help me to the right tools. The hostel itself is very modern (it just openend) and clean. The beds are good and the toilets and shower are nice (and seperated from eachother). In the evening they have a happy hour when you get free beer at the pool bar. We had lots of fun! I only booked one night but that quickly became two because I had a great 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..!)

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.

    The hostel was clean, and the vibe was calm. The owner was very friendly and helpful. She helped me to get the bunk bed according to my needs. The day trip boat tour I booked through this hostel was great, as well as the transportation I've booked through this hostel.

    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.

    definitely the best hostel I stayed in yet. The Pods are really big and the beds really comfortable. Way better than usual bunk beds. The staff is really helpful and helps you with everything. The receptionist spend like an hour calling the train hotlines and booking the perfect connection for me. Definitely go there.
