Catba Oasis Bungalows in Cat Ba Island

Don't stay at this hotel!!
We were given a room in terrible condition. And as a gift – a whole zoo of cockroaches.
It was as if the room hadn't been prepared at all. Instead of proper beds, there were some kind of construction pallets. Under the bed there was dust, hair, cotton swabs, and chip bags. The only bedding was a mattress pad and blankets (do they wash them every time?). I'll post a photo of this mess. They clearly don't like cleaning there. That evening, huge tropical cockroaches crawled out of every crack in the room. We didn't sleep the first night – the cockroaches hid in our things. We looked for them, and naturally, the neighbors were enraged by the noise at 3 a.m. + construction sounds... A kind of antipsychotic thriller.
We spent two evenings plugging up every hole in the room.
The bathroom was like a barn. No renovations, the photo doesn't match at all, just old paneling. The compartment door is broken; closing it requires a tremendous amount of effort.
We were offered a different room. We looked at several others—everything was dead. Cockroaches are running all over the hotel. For us, this is incredibly unsanitary.
Breakfast is meager. And when we saw cockroaches near the dining room, we stopped eating there altogether.
Reception is not open 24/7.
In the evening, after 8:00 PM, there's no one at reception. I needed tape to cover the holes where cockroaches could get in, but I couldn't find anyone. It's the same every evening: the light at reception is on, and a staff member won't be here until the morning...
The water was turned off the evening before checkout, so we couldn't shower or use the restroom. There was no one to ask what happened or when the water would be back—the reception was empty. The issue was resolved in the morning when the staff arrived. Great! We left without even brushing our teeth.
This review isn't a complaint, but a warning. Don't ruin your vacation! There are decent hotels nearby for the same price. Don't support this old and dirty hotel. Let them deal with their own problems.

The room wasn’t the best but didn’t expect much due to the price, however the AC unit above the bed leaked water onto my head at 1AM in the morning and the tv didn’t work.
