Hotel Overview

Tuan Ha Boutique Hotel is located at 9 Núi Ngọc, Cat Ba Island, just a short walk from the island’s main ferry terminal and bustling town center. The property offers a range of well-appointed accommodation, including spacious family rooms and hypoallergenic non-smoking options, all fitted with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and private en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers and hair dryers. Many rooms open out to terraces with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and distant Halong Bay karsts.

On-site amenities include free Wi-Fi in all public areas, 24-hour front desk service with English and Vietnamese-speaking staff, luggage storage, currency exchange, and tour booking to help you plan every part of your Halong Bay adventure. Start each day with a fresh, cooked-to-order breakfast at the hotel’s in-house restaurant, which also serves Vietnamese and international dishes for lunch and dinner, plus an on-site coffee shop serving fresh fruit, premium coffee, and paid snacks, wine, and champagne for late-afternoon treats. For guests arriving by car, public paid parking (100,000 VND per day) and valet service are available by reservation, and the hotel offers paid airport shuttle and public transport ticket booking to simplify your arrival and departure.

Nearby Attractions

• Cat Ba National Park: A 20-minute drive from the hotel, this protected UNESCO biosphere reserve features lush rainforest hiking trails, hidden lagoons, and opportunities to spot the rare golden-headed langur. The 4km trek to Ngu Lam Peak rewards hikers with panoramic views of Halong Bay’s jagged limestone karsts stretching across the water.
• Cat Co 1 Beach: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this soft-sand crescent beach is the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, or casual seafood dinners at waterfront stalls. The calm, shallow waters are ideal for families, and adjacent walking trails wind along the clifftop for sunset views.
• Lan Ha Bay Day Cruises: The hotel’s tour desk can book custom cruises departing from Cat Ba’s town pier, 5 minutes away. Unlike busier Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay offers quiet, secluded coves, hidden lagoons accessible only by kayak, and floating fishing villages where you can sample fresh, caught-that-day seafood.

Travel Tips

Book parking at least 48 hours in advance if you’re driving to the island from mainland Vietnam. Request a bay-view terrace room when booking for the best experience, as these fill up fast during peak travel season (April to September). The hotel’s 24-hour front desk can arrange early check-in for guests arriving on early morning ferries, just notify the team ahead of your arrival. Remember that alcohol and snacks from the minibar incur an extra charge, so you’ll find cheaper cold drinks at local convenience stores just a two-minute walk from the property. For day cruises, book through the hotel’s tour desk for discounted rates that include round-trip transport from the hotel.
