Cat Ba Green Pearl Hotel

Cat Ba Green Pearl Hotel is a 2-star hotel in Cat Ba town on Cat Ba Island, 25.7 km from Ha Long city centre, with family rooms that open onto balconies with garden views. It suits travellers who want a simple base near the Cat Co beaches, with room sizes from 18 m² doubles to 35 m² junior suites for up to five guests.

Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with bath or shower, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproofing and a minibar. The restaurant serves Vietnamese and Asian dishes with vegetarian and vegan options, and the grounds include a terrace, a garden and an outdoor dining area. Breakfast options include continental, Asian and American dishes. Free private parking is on site, WiFi in the rooms is free of charge, and the 24-hour front desk offers private check-in and check-out.

Tour desk, bicycle rental and a children's playground add to the stay, and the hotel is 500 m from Cat Co 2 Beach, with Cat Ba National Park inland. Guests particularly praise the staff, who help with tours and transport, and the quiet side street near restaurants and the harbour.

Cat Ba Green Pearl Hotel has six room types in three sizes. The doubles measure 18 m² and each has one large king-size bed, while the family rooms measure 25 m² and have two large king-size beds, sleeping up to four guests. The two junior suites are the largest accommodation at 35 m², sleeping up to five, with three king-size beds in the bedrooms and a sofa bed in a separate living room.

Every room has a private bathroom with a bidet, toilet and bath or shower, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproofing, a minibar and a balcony with garden views. The views are shared across the range, with mountain, landmark, city and inner courtyard views, so the choice comes down to size and bed layout. The Double Room with Mountain View and the Deluxe Double Room share the same plan, as do the two family rooms and the two junior suites, so the view named in each title is often the deciding factor.

Cat Ba Green Pearl Hotel has a restaurant serving Vietnamese and Asian cuisine, with vegetarian and vegan options, and breakfast can be taken in the room. Its outdoor spaces include a garden, a terrace and a BBQ area, and bicycle rental, a tour desk and bike tours are available. Free private parking is on site, and the 24-hour front desk handles private check-in and check-out.

Activities include snorkelling, diving and cooking classes, and families will appreciate the children's playground and the babysitting and child services.

Air conditioning, a refrigerator and an electric kettle complete the room equipment, and WiFi is free of charge.

Cat Ba Green Pearl Hotel sits on the south-east coast of Cat Ba Island, in Cat Ba town, with the Cat Co beaches close at hand. Cat Co 2 Beach is 500 m away, Cat Co 1 Beach 650 m and Cat Co 3 Beach 950 m, so the sand and the sea are the first things you reach on foot. Restaurants and cafés are close by as well: Cafe Bon Mua and Nhà Hàng Cơm Việt are both 150 m away, while Nhà Hàng Phương Phương and Trúc Lâm Restaurant are 250 m. Guests describe a quiet side street near the restaurants and the harbour, a setting that suits evenings out on foot.

The Cát Bà bus station is 300 m from the hotel and the Hoang Long bus station 350 m, so both bus stops are within a few minutes' walk. Cannon Fort is 350 m away, the Cat Ba Bay Viewpoint and Monument 150 m, and the Local Produce Market 700 m, so the fort, the viewpoint and the market can be combined in one walk through the town. Cat Ba National Park lies inland and Lan Ha Bay offshore, the two landscapes that define the island.

For activities, Cat Ba Climbing, on the island's limestone, is 250 m away, and Linh Quang Pagoda and Buddhist temple is 2.4 km, so a walk or short ride to the pagoda fits into an afternoon. Bicycle rental is available at the hotel, which makes it easy to reach the Cat Co beaches at your own pace. Forest trails in Cat Ba National Park suit a half-day walk, while the Cat Co beaches are the easiest place for a swim after a day out.
