    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Q: Is the hostel accommodation shared or private?
    It depends on availability, usually a private room for couples or mixed dorm for solo.

    For bookings of 2 people (couples), we prioritize arranging a private room at the hostel/hotel. For solo travelers, it is typically a bed in a high-quality dormitory. Please check specific room type at checkout or contact us.

    Q: What do I do with my big luggage?
    You can bring it, but we recommend leaving big bags at the hotel in Hanoi.

    You can bring your luggage on the bus and boat. However, since you will be moving between the boat and the island, we highly recommend packing a smaller overnight bag for the 3 days and leaving heavy suitcases at your hotel in Hanoi (most hotels offer free storage).

    Q: Are there ATMs on Cat Ba Island?
    Yes, there are ATMs in Cat Ba town near the harbor.

    Cat Ba town is well-developed with ATMs, pharmacies, and convenience stores. However, carrying some cash (VND) is recommended for small purchases or drinks at the hostel bar.
