Dung Boutique Inn

Mi è piaciuta l’accoglienza, la disponibilità e la gentilezza dello staff

La colazione era buona, ma le foto del menu non corrispondevano a quanto servito

Hôtel sympathique, gérante très gentille, proche de Ben Beo Harbour donc très pratique pour les excursions

Great location, friendly staff, fresh breakfast, and excellent organization of transfers and tours. Tràng was very helpful and everything was well organized.

The Wi-Fi could be better, but it was not a big problem for us.

Personnel charmant

Pas d'eau chaude

Très bon emplacement et le personnel est très sympa , à l écoute et toujours prêt à rendre service

Le petit déjeuner peut être amélioré (+ de choix, quantités, etc…)

Hôtel propre avec des personnes très serviable

La douche collé au toilettes

The staff was friendly

The price was high and did not as we expected

Trang nous a beaucoup aidé pour organiser les transferes, tout nous expliquer. Un grand grand merci à elle. L'équipe de lhotel était sympa. Le petit déjeuner était bon

Belle chambre avec vue, propre et spacieuse Petit déjeuner correct. Personnel très aimable.

Beautiful view, close to the port, very spacious and comfortable. Really nice breakfast that is included that is made to order! The owner was lovely and so friendly.

Pretty loud street noise. Neighbors blaring music at early morning hours and cars/motorbike noise.

Изумительный вид из окна!!! Готовность персонала помочь в любых ситуациях!

- przyjazny personel - piękny widok na zatokę - wygodne i duże łóżko

- bardzo skromne śniadanie, które trzeba rezerwować na konkretną godzinę - ostre, nieprzyjemne oświetlenie - niedziałający telewizor (ale to akutat szczegół)

Le personnel très sympathique, le confort de la chambre et le petit déjeuner très bon

Sehr freundliches Personal, gute Lage für Touren, Anleger um die Ecke, gute Tour vermittelt über die LAN Ha Bay, schöner Blick über die Bucht

Leider weit ab vom Zentrum, ohne Roller nur schwer flexibel, Frühstück kam am letzten Tag zu spät, Zimmer schon sehr abgängig,

Nice staff and great view from my room

Nothing really. A bit far from the city center but I consider that a plus. Rent a scooter and the island will be yours

Voyageur, solo, francophone, personnel, attentif et très arrangeant

Sehr zuvorkommendes und sehr freundliches Personal. Schönes, großes und sauberes Zimmer. Gutes Frühstück.

Kleines, schmales Hotel, nur durch eine Straße von der Küste getrennt; vom Fenster aus konnte man das Meer sehen. Der Frühstücksraum befindet sich im letzten Stockwerk, von hier hat man eine gute Übersicht über den Ortsteil mit dem Hafen.

Pas grand chose...

Chambre vue sur mer plus chère mais c'est sur la route et l'isolation est mauvaise donc vous dormez avec les voitures, les bus, les scooters. Matelas très inconfortable. Mauvaise odeur dans la salle de bain. Le prix n’est pas du tout conforme au marché de Cat Ba, deux fois plus cher qu'ailleurs pour une qualité très moyenne.

Dung lai is a very sweet little hotel, and a bit out of the main town, which was perfect because it was a lot quieter. It’s also very close to one of the docks, if you're interested in taking any of the tours. While it’s not a luxury option, it’s very nice, clean, and comfortable. The beds are a bit hard, but that’s typical for asia. The lighting could definitely use a change. It's either crazy bright or too dim to see anything. The pot lights are very intense. There’s a mini fridge and a smart TV, but no safe in the room. A/C worked well. The bathroom’s a bit small, but fine; the shower has good pressure and consistent temperature. As with every hotel bathroom, it could use more hooks! There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, but no lotion (which is typical for asia). The breakfast was simple and good quality - everything you need: coffee or tea, juice, fruit, and then choice of eggs and toast, or pho. This hotel also has good views of the bay, and is within walking distance of some nice lookouts. We’d highly recommend the bioluminescent plankton tour run by blue swimmers just down the road from the hotel. It was absolutely amazing to see the blue lights in the water. You could see the schools of plankton swimming here and there. When you dipped your hand in the water, it looked like blue sparkles were all over it. Very cool experience.

The lighting in the room - either intensely bright, or too dim.

Prima locatie, lieve eigenaren en lekker ontbijt.

Fantastic location, great view and close to the dock. Lovely little restaurant about 500m away. Lovely staff, very helpful

Everything was perfect. The staff is very helpful and nice. They organized for us Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long cruise and was amazing. Quiet localization. Rooms was very clean and comfortable with beautiful view.

オーナーさんご家族を挙げて、最高のもてなしをしてくださいました。

ありません。

The view is amazing. I wanted to avoid the construction in town and knew it would be a 15 min walk into town. Kind staff.

The noise from the port woke me up at 6am on day. No sound proofing. One can’t say that the beach is nearby which was one thing I had hoped for.

The staff were friendly and the room was clean.

Our air con stopped working and the hot water worked 50% of the time. We paid for a superior room with sea view more than 6 months in advance and got a room with a corner window offering a tiny sea view. (Didn’t match the photo). Breakfast was ok you have to pre order from a menu. What you get doesn’t match the description. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

Hotel bien situé pour les croisières

Les propriétaires ne parlent pas anglais. La salle de bain n 'est pas pratique. Robinets mal installés, Inversion chaud froid. Écoulement de la douche vers la toilette et la chambre. Vue sûre les reste d'un typhon.

L'exposition et l'emplacement de l'hôtel

All

Nothing

Het uitzicht vanuit onze kamer was heel mooi. De kamer was zoals op de foto's. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf hier. Het was rustig en toch kort bij zowel de haven waar veel van de boten vertrekken als bij de stad met vele restaurants. We werden goed geholpen door onze gastheer en we mochten onze bagage op zijn kamer zetten omdat onze bus een paar uur later kwam dan de tijd van de check-out. Zo konden we nog wat gaan wandelen. We raden dit verblijf zeker aan.

muy buen hotel en relación a su precio. limpio, tranquilo, buena ubicación. excelente atención. muy recomendable

Friendly family and good view of the harbour from seventh floor dining room. Basic room but spacious.

It’s more of a hike into town than expected and not many restaurant options nearby. Tiny bathroom with open shower gets whole room wet. Limited breakfast options and not always what is expected.

Lokalizacja jest dobra , łóżka wygodne, widok też,ale tylko z wyższych pięter,śniadania trzeba dzień wcześniej wybrać z karty i zamówić na konkretną godzinę, do centrum 15 minut spacerkiem po drodze mijając sklepy i restauracje.

Nie polecam oddawać tu prania, pranie było pomieszane z praniem znajomych ,byle jak poskładane i drogie w porównaniu do innych Hoteli Wybrałam ten Hotel ze względu na widok, niestety byłam bardzo rozczarowana, widok jest taki jak na zdjęciu ale... pierwsze co się rzuca w oczy to po drugie stronie ulicy pustostany na plaży wraki łódek ,to oczywiście nie jest winą hotelu ale takie są realia.Na wyspie trwają budowy, wszędzie jest hałas i kurz

o soggiornato in questa struttura e sono rimasto davvero molto soddisfatto dell’esperienza. Lo staff è stato sempre estremamente gentile, accogliente e disponibile. Un ringraziamento speciale va al manager, che si è dimostrato una persona davvero attenta e pronta ad aiutare in ogni situazione: grazie alla sua disponibilità e al suo sorriso il soggiorno è stato ancora più piacevole. La posizione è molto buona: leggermente fuori dal centro più rumoroso e dalle zone con lavori in corso, quindi perfetta per chi cerca tranquillità, ma comunque abbastanza vicina per raggiungere facilmente ristoranti, negozi e altri servizi a piedi o con un breve tragitto in taxi o scooter. Le camere sono pulite, spaziose e confortevoli. Alcune potrebbero non avere il classico box doccia (una soluzione abbastanza comune nella zona), ma questo non ha influito negativamente sul comfort del soggiorno. Buona anche la colazione, ancorché un po' spartana. Consiglio assolutamente questa struttura a chi cerca un posto tranquillo, con uno staff che fa la differenza.

L'emplacement de l'hôtel : juste à côté de l'embarcadère pour la baie de Lan Ha, dans une rue très calme (surtout en comparaison avec le centre-ville de Cat Ba très bruyant avec les travaux...). L'hôtel est situé à seulement 15-20 min à pieds du centre de Cat Ba où il y a pleins de restaurants et de bars. Le personnel a été très gentil avec nous et nous a aidé à planifier nos excursions sur l'île, ainsi qu'à réserver notre bus pour Ninh Binh. La chambre était spacieuse et très propre. Le petit déjeuner très correct avec une belle vue sur la baie !

Rien, tout était très bien !

Very helpful staff, located near the bay day trips and not too far from food restaurants. Rooms are clean and the breakfast delicious. We will definitely book here next time

I had a wonderful vue, the room was big, always clean, the staff was helpful with organising the trips and tickets for the bus. Breakfast was tasty. Locality was good, 100 m from the port for trips.

Perfect hotel, amazing location and staff .dung dung and dai are best host ever

The view! The room was very comfy. The breakfast was delicious!!

Personnes très serviable, prestations et chambres impeccable.

Super friendly staff, Good breakfast, nice views

Beds were uncomfortable a little bit hard for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ , and no beside lamps so either super bright or pitch dark,

Dicht zum Fähranleger

Die Aussicht auf die Bucht wird getrübt von Baustellen, verfallenden Gebäuden und Müll. Kein schöner Ort. Frühstück spartanisch und nicht lecker.

It’s a great property very clean and spacious Breakfast was delicious lots of options The host was very helpful and attentive Nice mini bar options Nice free Water, coffee tea making facilities inside the room

Bare in mind the location is about 20 mins into main square so up hill be prepared to walk hire a bike or get the local taxis around the area 100.000VND

Alojamiento situado a las afueras de Cat Ba ideal si tienes que tomar un barco en el Beo Harbour. Instalaciones correctas y hay servicio de alquiler de motos.

Si tienes intención de visitar el pueblo de Cat Ba debes alquilar la moto porque andando esta un poco lejos y es una colina.

Excellent staff that would go the extra mile to help. There were a few western breakfast options and cooked fresh. We had a room.with a ocean view that was beautiful. The hotel is a 15-25 minute walk out of town, which we liked to get away from the noise but should be considered.

Very kind and friendly staff, always willing offer a hand. The hotel is 5 minutes from the harbour, where you can see the local fishermen, have a meal or start your cruise tour

Sehr schön gelegenes Hotel mit traumhaftem Ausblick, besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit, gutes Frühstück. Über das Hotel ist eine super Lan-Ha-Bay- Halong-Bay- Bootstour (ganztägig) zu einem günstigen Preis buchbar. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen und können das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen!

La posizione è comodissima al porto dove ci si imbarca per le escursioni. Un po fuori dal centro che si raggiunge con una breve passeggiata.l'host Trung e la sua famiglia sono premurosissimi. Avevamo una camera al sesto piano con vista mare spaziosa e comoda.

La ubicación maravillosa. En un sitio muy tranquilo y bonito. Muy buenas vistas al despertarse. El recepcionista muy atento y servicial.

Las camas un poco duras y estaria bien una cortina en la ducha para evitar salpicaduras.

Great host, helpful, friendly. We are vegan so he prepared us delicious breakfast, help to arrange national park and ha long bay trip and our way from and to Hanoi. We had the family room at sixth flor with see view.

Nothing

Der Service ist absolute spitze. Der Mitarbeiter ist super nett.

Jolie vue depuis la chambre et envirronement calme

Très déçue par Cat Ba. Énorme chantier construction d'une nouvelle ville, en bord de mer ce qui gâche l'ambiance et la vue. Les plages sont loin de l'hôtel, petites à marée basse et bondées apres 16h. Devant l'hôtel jolie baie mais plage sale et inaccessible.

Staff went out of their way to be helpful to non Vietnamese speaker. Trung Bui very helpful in getting me the most out if my exploration of Cat Ba, I would highly recommend to other foreigners.

Was a little road noise beeping horns in very early morning

A great location - close to the harbour and away from the new construction sites. We had a lovely view from our window. Very good value for money. The host was amazing - he was so kind and helpful. He organised a fantastic boat trip for us and took care of our travel arrangements back to Hanoi. I would definitely recommend.

Chambre confortable avec une belle vue sur la baie. Personnel très attentionné et qui nous a facilité nos déplacements pour arriver et repartir de l'île, on le remercie encore !

L'hôtel est situé près du port et du village de pêcheurs flottant. Ils mettent à disposition des scooters pour 120.000 dongs.Ce qui est parfait pour aller en ville.

Le lit est un peu dur, mais c'est souvent comme ça au Vietnam. Comme le bruit à partir de 5h du matin.

The friendliest and most welcoming, helpful staff. Felt very at home there. Helped us get taxis and book tours. Had laundry service as well. Room was clean and had enough room for our family of four. We had the most beautiful view of the bay.

Nothing

Excelent family owned hotel next to pier from where all boat cruises start. Far from construction works in town center. Amazing view from window. Super friendly and helpfull stuff. Organized all for us in the best way - cruise (super good experience) and also the bus back to Hanoi. Felt like home there. Thank you for everything one more time and good luck. Wish we had couple more days to spend there and explore the iceland.

Peaceful Stay with Wonderful Hospitality

I had a lovely stay at Dung Boutique Inn. While the hotel is located a bit outside the very center of Cát Bà town, I actually found this to be a big plus — it’s quiet, peaceful, and still within walking distance (or a quick motorbike ride) to restaurants, the harbor, and local attractions. The rooms are spotless, well-designed, and very comfortable. You can tell that a lot of care has gone into making guests feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy and calm, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the island. What truly stands out is the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful — they assisted with everything from motorbike rental to recommending places to eat and organizing boat tours. I felt genuinely welcomed and supported throughout my stay. If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and friendly place to stay just outside the busy center, Dung Boutique Inn is a great choice. I would definitely come back!

The property has amazing views, is incredibly clean and is located in an area with no construction work. The staff were incredibly helpful and the cost of everything from renting motorbikes to getting laundry done was very reasonable. The view from the room was incredible.

It is a decent walk in to town, around 20-30 minutes. However the property will rent you mopeds for the day and the distance from town means no noise from construction.

Big room, great breakfast it was simple but absolutely delicious! Both eggs and pancakes and ginger tea was surprisingly tasty and amazing! The guy in the reception was absolute sweet heart! Thank you

The view in our room six nice it is facing the bay but the property is not beachside as what we’ve thought . It is across the road and the beachside is not suitable for swimming since the water is not clear and it has no beach line and there are houses.

The sanitation. The room looks clean but in our first night when I was about to use the cups to drink coffee I saw 2 used cotton buds where the tray of the cups and coffee sachets are placed. Maybe the cotton buds were used from the previous guests. Though when I complained to the staff the cleaned our room well the following days of our stay. Another problem is their credit card machine didn’t worked .i booked at the booking.com and expected the booking. Com to deduct the bill from my credit card but the hotel staff told me that I must pay there in their hotel. We were bringing peso not dollars since the last time we were in Hanoi they changed peso. I ask and beg them to accept our peso but they insisted us to change our peso to dollar driving me to the town center but very sad to say nobody would change our peso to dollar in Cat Ba island. We went to an ATM machine which can’t also process my transaction. So in the end they have no choice but to accept our peso as payment. The worst thing is since it was my first time riding a motorcycle I tripped the moment I disembarked from the bike and fell and now I ended up with a sore hip.So blessed that my ankle doesn’t hurt that much and I can still walk. Breakfast also served has no variation only eggs , bread a small platter of fruits , and a choice of milk coffee and tea everyday. Alway the same.

The family and hotel were just perfect. The location and view are spectacular, away from the main hustle and bustle, making it very comfortable. We had a meal with the family, and it felt full of love. I highly recommend them

There's nothing I didn't like

Quiet, away from the construction mostly. Clean and comfortable with friendly staff.

No duvet, just a sheet, and not a proper shower- maybe a little overpriced for what you get - also no consistent hot water

Great location, great friendly service by trung, an amazing view of the harbor from our room. Tucked away from the major construction in cat ba town.

The view is unbeatable, especially with construction in the lower part of the island. Amazing service from Trung! He helped with early check in, special room and view request, and even offered many different day-tour options designed for our schedule, including a private, custom option. I had many questions, and he helped with all of them quickly. He helped book us an ideal day tour with a unique itinerary as well as the bus back to Hanoi. We were concerned we might not make the bus, and I think he also waited at the pier to ensure we would get on the bus back to Hanoi on time. Breakfast pancakes were also yummy. Thank you for a lovely stay and exceptional service!

Amazing help from Trung by message to organize the transfer to and from Cat Ba, and excursions (day trip on Lan Ha Bay, plankton night trip etc). The views from the 6th floor are nice. A few minutes away by foot to the port where all Lan Ha bay cruises depart.

Be careful to ask for a high floor, as the same room at the same price is sold for floors 4, 5 and 6. At floor 4, you will definitely not get the views (see pictures to compare 4 and 6), as a building is blocking it from the balcony. Trung was very understanding and we could have the 6th floor for our second night. The breakfast is quite simple, and the rooms a bit old, especially for that price. You will also need taxis to get to the Cat Ba port to have dinner.

The staff, communication, the view, the food

Fantastic view from the room! And the room was quite large as well with a small balcony to enjoy the view. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is a bit further away from the main town, a 10 minute walk (up hill from town), but it’s quieter and the view is much nicer as there is a lot of construction going on in the main strip.

Nil

Within the sea of (sometimes) forced positive reviews and not entirely true descriptions, this hotel definitely stands out as one of the few places really worth staying at. We were very positively surprised by the comfort of the room, great bedding and stunning views of the bay. Owner of the hotel deserves a special shout-out thanks to his impressive dedication for helping guests not only to prepare the stay to their wishes or plan holiday activities, but also much more. Thanks to his help we managed to locate our long-lost relative in Vietnam which may sound crazy, but is completely true. Dedicating his personal time he managed to locate the person we were looking for, which would've not been possible without him. Truly a place worth recommending!

That there's not many places as good as this one

Exceptional staff location view luck off the draw this place didn’t have construction all around it since the work that’s being done to that city

Not a thing really Maybe add some more options ingredients to breakfast

Great location, short walk to the ferry port and not too far to walk into town.Room was comfortable and we loved the view of the bay from the window. Breakfast was fair and filling. A roof terrace would have been an added bonus. Also a bath mat for steeping out of the open shower.

Friendly staff/manager.

Location was a bit of a hike to restaurants and any action. However, if you’re on a tight schedule, this hotel is very well located to start a boat based/harbor tour In the morning (three minute walk).
