City Center / Sat Market hotels & places to stay

This nice little hotel fit the budget. I was a little leery with a 1.5 star rating, but that is likely because they don't have many amenities (pool, fitness center, restaurant, etc.). For the price this was a nice and clean place to stay the night before catching the morning hydrofoil to Cat Ba City (5 minute taxi ride). Across the street from the Bao Anh hotel is a nice size grocery store for bottled water and snacks. One block down the street is a newly opened Pizza Hut which is a bonus if you have kids.

I stayed here with my sister for 4 nights, the hotel was nice, staff is pleasant but only one man speaks English. The room was clean but only when you ask them to clean it. We gave our clothes on laundry, and they said 30.000VND for everything, but when we checked out we had to pay more; 30.000 for each thing! We gave 60.000 and took off. Hotel is situated only 6 minutes walking from the main train station, and 10 from the city centre. There is also cable TV, if anyone is interested.

In general, I felt good about my stay. Its a brand-new hotel which actually operating as a rental apartment. Everything in the room is fresh new and in very good condition. You can cook, wash and dry your clothes right in the room with handy machines. The furniture is nice looking. Minus points are the sofa is hard and the bed is not long enough for foreigners. The breakfast served was fantastic and I heard the menu is changed frequently. Hotel manager and staff are friendly and willing to help. Just remember this hotel is operating two systems at the same time: Rental apartment and hotel. Plus its total new so don't expect too much for the professionalism of its hospitality.

I booked Hoang Hai hotel for 2 Germans and it seems that they had quite a satisfactory stay, except for some below points: - In the first week of their stay, their rooms have no windows and lie on 2nd and 3rd floors, therefore they seem to be quite dull. This problem was solved in the following week when I asked them for rooms with windows. Surprisingly, these rooms are quite more roomy and seems to have better-looking and newer facilities. - Receptionists are sometimes cranky. Still helpful though. My friends also said that the hotel offered quite delicious breakfast. The location is quite good, near center, but you should be aware that it lies on one-way street so it may take a detour if you need to go to other parts of the city by cars or scooters.

We stayed at this hotel in Oct 2019 for 3 nights (208 was our toom, I think). I rate this hotel 5 stars. Here are my rating reasons. Room: nice decor, simple but elegant Staff: From the front desk to the restaurant and the pool, all staff always greeted us politely with a smile on their face. They were eager to help us with anything we need. Kudos to his customer service. (My bad that I forgot to ask his name). I also wanted to acknowledge Miss Phuong (front desk), Charles Vu (bell person), Dang Ninh (restaurant), pool staff, and the housekeeping for their excellent customer service. Breakfast: Buffet breakfast had both Western and Vietnamese foods. It was not a huge buffet but enough to fill us up to start a day. Location: very convenient to walk to the restaurants and a super market around the hotel. From the hotel, you could walk to the train station for about 10-12 minutes. Haiphong was a good base for transferring to Halong bay and/or Catba island. Highly recommend this hotel.

staff could not do enough for us. we needed an early breakfast to catch the 7am hydrofoil to cat ba. they got all the kitchen staff up early, and packed us a "picnic" breakfast to take with us 6.30am. didn't ask, they just did it. the room was big and clean. the restaurant directly opposite the hotel, on the otherside of the vacant strip of land, was something else. after 3 weeks in vietnam it still shocked. i ate a plate of frogs, which were delish. take a photo of the menu. i still don't know what "fried cement" (its a main meal) really is??

I have gone to Hai Phong 4x now. This new hotel is by far the best I have been to thus far. Just opened in April, 2018, this hotel is very clean and all about service. I am delighted and extremely happy with my experience. I highly recommend this to all travelers. 1. Room is beautiful. 2. Brand new ammenities 3. View of the city is great 4. Gym is workable 5. Skybar and Spa was not open but definitely a try when I come back 6. Staff- FANTASTIC! great crew here.

We arrived at the hotel with such nice greetings from the staff. As the hotel knew the fact that we were newly wedded, they gifted us free upgrade to Luxury room. Needless to say how surprised and stunned we are, we thanked the friendly receptionists and proceeded to our room under the guidance of a doorman. The room gives a cozy vibe with its wooden interior. The bathroom is small yet fully furnished. Bedroom is lovely and minimalized with a big comfy double bed, a working table, and a chilling relax sofa. Though sometimes we still can hear the upper neighbor walking and the aircon is a bit cold to our liking (25°C is the highest temperature), we had a great night sleep. The breakfast was indeed a great feast. It is not everyday happening that you eat sushi to start your day. Because it is for breakfast, no raw fish was involved and yet the rolls were delectable. They have so many options for breakfast that everyone will be satisfied here: phở, omlette, cereal of several choices, samosa, croissant, newly toasted bread (3 types), sushi rolls, kimchi, miso soup, porriage, fried rice, toasted corn and tomatoes, yogurt, and fruits. Coffee is nice and many choices of tea are also available. Serving time for breakfast is long too, up to 10AM which is good for day sleeper like me. The swimming pool is outside at the ground floor. It is a pity that we came on a rainy day, but we managed to do a few laps. Depth us only 1.2m, enough for some chilling. The swimming pool is not too big, yet lovely for some leisure moments. On 2nd floor there is a lounge area where residents can chill down with a book. The bookshelf there is filled with international selections, from Japanese to German ones. The silence of the hotel and welcomeness of staff made our stay uncomplanable. Would love to revisit and recommend to anyone who has a big budget and would love some precious silence in a Vietnamese city.

My family stayed at the family room, I would definitely stay again if I visit. Good things about the hotel -Clean, quiet, comfortable and very spacious -Convenient amenities -Very Friendly and helpful staffs -Close to the city center and shopping center -Great continental breakfast -Beautiful view of the city and lake -Clean outdoor swimming pool with city view :) Need improvement -May need to check on maintenance on facilities: if the tub drainage lever works, toilet flushes, water hose spray is not strong. -Beach towels and lockers need to be available for use. -A sign on the door on how to open the swimming pool door may be needed (There is a button on the left side wall that needs to be pressed to open the door) and you need to tag the room key card to open the door for exiting. Overall, a fabulous experience and stay!
