The Oversleep Catba Hostel & Pool Bar

A new (2-3 years old?) property. Very nice bunk beds with shelves, own light, socket, privacy curtains. Centrally located, very friendly staff. It always makes me feel welcome if they know their guests by name. Easy to organise tours, transfers and bike rental. Restaurant on the 1st floor had a pretty decent choice of breakfast and it was nice to be able to sit outdoors by the pool having a breakfast to meet other guests. 7-floor building with the lift.

Wow, what an amazing hostel! It's fairly new and you can tell they try their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I stayed in the dorm, which was very clean. The pool was also clean and refreshing, but what made this hostel truly outstanding for me was the exceptionally friendly staff. They really went above and beyond with helping me organise trips, booking buses, and providing information. Special thanks go to Shelly who helped me a lot during my stay. This place is (thankfully) not a party hostel, but it is still easy to socialise during the happy hour in the evening or at the restaurant. This was definitely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at.

We loved this hostal! The staff were fabulous; fantastic English is spoken, the right amount of information and interest in your stay is given by the staff on reception. The bar manager is the ultimate in professional, he was very efficient with every transaction we had with him. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained, you can see the love that goes into looking after the plants around the pool . Our room was front facing, with balcony and en-suite. It was large and clean. Breakfast was ok. The location in town is great, lots of places to eat nearby, mini marts, travel agents etc. Even though its on the main road, we didnt suffer with external noise at all. Reception organised 2 scooters for us and it took les sthan 10 minutes for them to arrive and they were ridiculously cheap! We loved the vibe here, we are in our late 50s and didnt feel like the oldies in this cool new hostal. Thank you for a lovely stay.

First of all the location is great! As there is a major construction going on in what used to the the laguna, it's far enough so it won't bother you. On top of it, some of the most affordable, fairly priced and tasty restaurants like Yummy are around the corner. The 19:00-19:30 free beer is great and the space with pool is very cozy and has a nice vibe to it. Also, the lady at the reception was exceptional - she was always there (I hope she gets enough rest), helped us with the laundry and the motorcycle - all was done in minutes. We are very grateful

The staff here are wonderful - particularly the people on reception and the woman who works in the bar/restaurant. The rooms are new and clean and the pool bar is great for relaxing or socialising. It’s got a really nice vibe with people of all ages. I had washing done and it was cheap and returned clean and fresh. It is very close to good restaurants and night life. And a 2 minute walk from Cat Ba Ventures office. They will also organise the bus back to Hanoi from reception which picks you up at the door. Overall a great stay.
