Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain rooms at the hostel also offer a mountain view. At Catba Buffalo Hostel each room comes with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. The staff here is fantastic—special shoutout to the bartender, who’s not only great at making drinks but also an excellent chess player! The happy hour is definitely worth it, offering a great atmosphere to meet fellow travelers. While the hostel is a bit outside the town center, they make up for it with convenient motorbike and bicycle rentals. Plus, they provide a shuttle bus at 10 PM and 1 AM, making it easy to enjoy the nightlife without worrying about the commute.

The receptionist Vu was absolutely amazing. He helped us organise a boat trip with kayaking and swimming, as well as recommending the nearby beach and a scenic route. We were only there for 2 days and 1 night and had to cut the second day short because of a storm warning. We would not have been able to maximise our time on Cat Ba without Vu! The hostel was also very comfortable, the loveliest staff at the downstairs restaurant, and would definitely recommend their mango smoothie, you will not regret it! There is also a rooftop bar with a great view of the harbour, where locals sometimes set off fireworks.
