This hotel has a really nice view of the bay and excellent prices ($8 single a/c). You can also walk (about 50m) from the hydrofoil pier or the bus dropoff for the 'slow boat'. However, they are shysters at the desk. Example: I paid for a bay tour from this place and when I tried to pay with a credit... More

Worst food EVER!! I had the veg spring rolls for entree and vegetable noodle soup (pho) for main. Firstly the entree came out last. When we asked about the entree the waitress/owner said that she has too many to make and will do it last. My vegetable noodle soup had pieces of beef floating in it. Obviously the broth is... More

I guess I should have seen the warning signs - but for some reason I was blind to all of them and paid for it. The first sign was the 'kitchen' or the corner of the restaurant with a dirty counter that was masquerading as one. The second sign were the two teenage girls manning the kitchen. We order the...

Stayed for one night then moved. staff unhelpful and often rude, just demanded money and ignored customers. Food showed an equal lack of interest, kitchen filthy and staff washing hair next to cooking food. Room basic, not very clean. May only be $8 but you can get much more for that nearby. LP recommendation ill deserved.

We have staid for more than a week and we enjoyed it. The staffs are very friendly, rooms and the restaurant delicious. We also booked some trips there. They were realy good and thats why we would come back

We were 2 couple with 2 kids each, ended here by coincidense. But it was a pleasant experience. We came from Hanoi Imperial a total different level of hotel ($95 a night), but My NGOC was a pleasant surprice. Location couldn't be more central with view over harbour in first row. Rooms are sparse but clean, roomy, aircon, tv with... More

Nice room with view of ocean - freindly staff organised a great trip in Halong bay, helpfull and enjoyable time; and good food! If looking for a trip to Cat Ba and then boat around Halong Bay recomend My Ngoc hotel

Pity I hadnt read these reviews before we booked out sailing trip. He took us to his hotel but it was cheap and nasty, so stayed elsewhere. For another $5 it was definitely worth it. We booked a 3 day/2 night trip with Mr Tuan- we were under the impression we would be on a big sailing boat which accommodates... More
