Oriio Hotel Cát Bà

Oriio Hotel Cát Bà is a 3-star hotel on Cat Ba Island in Ha Long Bay, 500 m from Tung Thu Beach, with rooms of 25 to 30 m² that have mountain or sea views. It suits travellers who want a base on the island with beaches, cycling routes and boat trips close at hand, and who value air conditioning and private bathrooms in every room.

Each room has a flat-screen TV, a minibar and free toiletries. The Quadruple Room with Balcony is the only type with a balcony and terrace, and the Family Room with Mountain View, at 30 m², is the largest of the four. The restaurant serves seafood, Vietnamese, Asian, international and European dishes, with a kids' menu for families.

Outside, the hotel has a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a BBQ area. Guests can rent bicycles, join bike tours, take up snorkelling or canoeing, or book a cooking class or a tour about local culture, and the tour desk and 24-hour front desk help with arrangements. The spa offers massage and beauty services, with a sauna and steam room.

The four room types at Oriio Hotel Cát Bà measure from 25 to 30 m², and all share a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a minibar. The beds differ by room: the Double Room with Mountain View has one extra-large super-king bed, the Quadruple Room with Balcony has two of the same size, the Family Room with Mountain View has two king-size beds, and the Standard Family Room has two double beds.

The views separate the rooms more than the furnishings do. The Double Room with Mountain View, the Family Room with Mountain View and the Quadruple Room with Balcony face the mountains, while the quadruple room adds sea, lake and city views from its balcony and terrace. The Standard Family Room looks onto an inner courtyard. Families and groups of four will find the family rooms and the quadruple room the most practical, while couples may prefer the double room with its single super-king bed.

Dining centres on the restaurant, which serves seafood, Vietnamese, Asian, international and European dishes, with a kid-friendly buffet, kids' meals and special diet menus on request. A coffee house on site, along with fruit, wine and champagne, rounds out the options, and continental and vegetarian breakfast can also be taken in the room.
