Traveled in Vietnam several months ago and still remember Duc Tuan Hotel and the kindness Mr. Tuan showed us while we were there. My wife and I were travelling around Vietnam by motorbike and got into Cat Ba fairly late without a reservation. Mr. Tuan offered us his last room although it was a large family room with 4 beds...

You cant expect much for such a cheap price, and it was ok for the price ($14 for a double room with a sea view) - not the cleanest, but OK. Have stayed in much better places for that price, and much worse.

Location - great, very central Service - owner seemed friendly enough. Though multiple times we went to reception to get some info etc... The owner was not there and we were left to our own devices, or unsuccessfully trying to communicate with others in the hotel with our translator. Room - room itself was clean enough. Bathroom had lingering mouldy... More

Good value for money basic hotel. We are a family with 2 teenage children, we stayed in a triple room which in hindsight we should have gone for 2 rooms as we had in other places. The room was big enough for us but the bathroom was not up to the 4 of us with an asian type shower that... More

The hotel is very conviently located on the main street of the island. The bay view from our room was great. The room itself was okay. The bathroom was kind of sad. It was one of those shower is in the same compartment as sink and toilet, and kinda dingy. The towels were pretty low quality. I think you can... More

The view from the bay rooms make this place worh every penny plus some. The rooms are clean enough, and while there are no frills the rooms are quite spacious. Mr. Tuan is really nice and helpful, we booked his 1 day tour of the bay which was quite nice and only $20 for the whole day. We found cat... More

This hotel was fairly cheap ($18 per night) so we expected it to be basic, which it was. We did also expect it to be clean though, which unfortunately it wasn't - the bed linen on both the beds in our room was dirty and the whole room could have done with a good spring clean. On the up side,... More

We spent a week at the Duc Tuan hotel in late March/early April 2012, the real low season for Cat ba Island, which made for low prices and a very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The hotel manager and his family/staff were very friendly and helpful in giving us good advice in planning our daily activities including a full day's sailing... More

Had a room with a view of the harbour. Short walk from the boat landing on Cat Ba to the hotel. The hotel was 'sufficient' for our needs. Not the best hotel we've stayed in but the value was good. We paid approx 20 dollars per night, if we had chosen a room at the back without a sea-view I... More
