Sea Dragon Hotel Cát Bà & Aparment

Sea Dragon Hotel Cát Bà & Aparment is a 2-star hotel on Cat Ba Island, a short walk from Cat Co 2 Beach, with sea-view and city-view rooms. It suits families, couples and small groups who want a comfortable base in Cat Ba town, with the harbour, restaurants and the bus station close by.

The rooms range from 15 m² to 20 m², and four of the five room types have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, soundproof walls and a private bathroom with a shower, bidet and hairdryer. The largest is the Family Room with Sea View, which sleeps four on two extra-large double beds and has a private entrance, the only sea view in the range. Two other room types have city views.

Breakfast is offered with vegetarian and vegan options. Guests often mention the views over the harbour, the sea and the limestone mountains, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the staff, who organise tours and transport and offer local advice.

Sea Dragon Hotel Cát Bà & Aparment offers five room types, from the 15 m² Standard Twin Room to the 20 m² Family Room with Sea View. Four of them share the same comforts: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproof walls and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer. The Standard Twin Room is the simplest option, with a private entrance and two single beds.

The views and beds set the rooms apart. The Family Room with Sea View is the only one with a sea view, and it sleeps four on two extra-large double beds. The Deluxe Twin Room and the Standard King Room have city views; the first has two large king beds for up to four guests, the second one king bed for two. The Superior Deluxe Double or Twin Room adds hypoallergenic bedding and a socket beside the bed.

A tour desk is on site, and entertainment staff and evening entertainment are part of the services. Laundry, dry cleaning and ironing are offered, room service is available, and 24-hour security covers the property.

Free private parking is possible nearby, and reservation is not needed. WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge. A paid shuttle service runs from the hotel, including an airport shuttle. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, and internet services are also offered to guests.

Sea Dragon Hotel Cát Bà & Aparment is in Cat Ba town, on the south-east coast of Cat Ba Island, where small restaurants and bars sit close together. The Cat Ba Bay Viewpoint and Monument is 100 m away, the Local Produce Market 500 m and Cannon Fort 550 m, so the town's main sights are close at hand. Several restaurants sit within 50 m of the hotel, including Nhà Hàng Cơm Việt and Hoàng Gia Minh, which makes an evening meal easy to arrange on foot.

Cat Co 2 Beach, the nearest stretch of sand, is 700 m away, and the Cát Bà bus station is 200 m from the hotel. The Cai Beo Terminal for Tourists is 1.1 km away. Cat Ba town is reached by car ferry from Tuan Chau to Gia Luan, about 45 to 50 minutes, and then 25 km by road, while from Hai Phong a short car ferry or speedboat crosses to the island.

Lan Ha Bay lies offshore, with its limestone islands, and Cat Ba National Park lies inland with its forest trails, both natural destinations for a stay on the island. Linh Quang Pagoda and Buddhist temple is 2.2 km away, and the Động Minh Châu cave 5.1 km, for a visit beyond the beaches and the harbour. A guided day is a practical way to reach the more distant caves and bays, which are some way from town.
