This hotel was included in my 3 days night nights trip in Ha Long Bay. After a night on the semi-crappy Junk boat. It was quite refreshing to be in a hotel, and this place def. exceeded my expectation. Although this hotel is not located at the harbor facing the bay. I enjoyed the peace and quiet this place has...

Came here on a tour with Fantasea. The tour was excellent, and the hotel was perfect. Not seafront but quiet. Top notch food, except for the average breakfast. Only complaint was the weird citing of the toilet, half under the sink!

When I checked in I was at first a little disappointed that the hotel was a distance from the waterfront. However I had excellent ocean views from the 7th floor and was upgraded at no additional charge...Thank You Mr. Hin!! The room was delightful and the staff was top notch. It was good to be back in Vietnam after traveling... More

After looking at photos of Cat Ba, we choose to book a sea view room (and were prepared to pay a premium) in Fantasea. We arrived by bus and started walking towards where the booking site map showed the hotel to be... there were plenty of hotel operators wanting our business, but we said no, we've got a booking here...

Had a nice standard room, simply but clean. Hotel is a 5 minutes walk away from the harbour / city center. Best thing about the hotel: friendly & helpful hotel staff. They provided a lot of suggestions for things to do (biking, kayaking, ...) and went above and beyond in helping me to organize it. They also helped all of... More

We booked for 1 night, but after seeing the room we immediately decided to stay there for our entire 4 nights in Cat Ba. The hotel is located about 100 meters up a side street from the main road, right across from the pier. this distance helped make it a quiet refuge. Our room was on the sixth floor (603).... More

Clean comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. Construction next door made for an early wake up and breakfast is ordinary, but the staff were very helpful and invited me in for a cup of tea after dinner service. Very pleasant stay thank you!!

19/10/11, travelling as a couple. AKA Fantasea & Queen Hotel. Not on the esplanade, next to a construction site and warm water - I wondered whether I had made the right choice. As it turned out, I probably did – the room was new, really quiet and the building work was inaudible (friends at the Hung Long Harbour Hotel complained... More

Nice hotel, very new and clean with balcony and great bathroom. Free internet downstairs on computers, but more often than not it was the staff utilizing it. Came on a tour and have to say the food in the hotel isn't very good. Stayed an extra night and you could probably get something much cheaper on the esplanade if it's... More

The room was allright, roomy and clean. Breakfast was pretty bad, no choice and the bread was old and dry. We wanted to stay here for three nights. The man in the front office tried to let us pay immediately for all three nights, very unusual. When we were looking around in town and asking about trips we found out... More
