The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

Overall: If you're looking for a fun, social, and relaxing stay on Cat Ba Island, Republic Hostel is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return and experience it all again!

Great environment and awesome staff, I’m really glad that we found this option during our family trip. The hotel is not too far from town and they provide scooter rental service which was very helpful.

Good serive, nice people

Republic Hostel nos ha tratado maravillosamente!!! Veníamos con retraso por problemas varios y han hecho nuestra llegada y estancia lo más amena y rodada posible. Nos facilitaron un servicio de transporte para recogernos del puerto y nos alargaron la apertura de la cocina para poder cenar! La comida riquísima y la piscina de lo más reconfortante. Hemos dormido estupendamente y por la mañana nos han organizado perfectamente un itinerario para poder visitar la bahía de Lan Hay en barco, hacer piragüismo y disfrutar de un baño. Ha ido todo sobre ruedas gracias a la comunicación con Phuong! También nos ha agenciado un autobús a Ninh Binh de lo más cómodo. Todo facilidades la verdad que lo recomendaría 100%!

Short and sweet review : great location, the room was spacious with view on the mountain, outstanding English speaking staff , fantastic cocktail bar. And cherry on the cake the nice swimming pool beside the bar. I was also able to rent a motorbike at the hotel .

Very nice hostel and friendly staffs. The boat tour to Lan Ha Bay was amazing too!!! A little bit away from town so a scooter is the best way to go around. Butterfly valley is a very nice place to do a picnic, or a rock climbing trip
