Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We enjoyed our room and the facilities, including the pool. However, we found the food was lacking in quality. Our room wasn't properly cleaned when we arrived (there was someone else's underwear on the floor and the mugs were not clean) and we had to ask the staff to clean it again. That being said, the staff were extremely helpful and kind. They definitely made the stay better. We apparently came during "off season" which made the whole area seem like a ghost town. We did find some good places to eat tho, and the bay cruise we did was as beautiful as we imagined.
My room 916 has several issues. It is not soundproof, and I can hear the kids next door screaming and playing. The drainage in the shower stall is clogged with hair. The toilet does not have a bidet sprayer. The mini-fridge is old.
The hotel is located near the city square, where they play loud DJ music until midnight, which is a nightmare for anyone who wants to rest. My wife has to wear her AirPods to block out the loud music.
The outdoor pool on the first floor does not have a dressing room. As a result, guests after swimming need to return to their rooms to change their clothes, which inevitably wets all the elevators.
The food is average or below average.
Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.
The staff were friendly and the food in their restaurant was lovely.

We booked a family Deluxe Room at the hotel at it stated it slept 4 people and came with a Sofa Bed and a day Bed. The Sofa bed ended up being a bench that the hotel wanted to charge us for. After confirming that the 'Sofa Bed' was included in the booking they wanted to charge us for the sheets and pillow for it?? The room was really nice, but the information on the booking was incorrect and our older son was not able to sleep on a bench for a few nights. We ended up checking out after an hour and took a loss on the booking as I was not able to get a refund. I booked a hotel down the block that was more comfortable and accommodating.
I was very disappointed with Novotel as the hotel was completely empty and they could have provided us with a room that would have worked for my family. Especially when the booking stated it slept 4 people and came with a Sofa Bed...which it did not. Very disappointed in the service provided.

Bar food ok not restaurant food some unavailable told us 20 minutes after we ordered chicken was so tough couldn’t eat it
This was meant to be a four star hotel but I didnt think it was. First of all, the greeting was awful. It was that bad, I wouldnt consider I had a greet and meet. Staff looks disengaged. There was a smell to the hotel. Rooms were old and wooden floors were creaking. The lift doors could really do with a clean. There isn't much lighting in the rooms or the halls. It was very dim all round. The hotel location as it was near the beach clubs, not only you heard some of the music but you would feel the vibration at night.
Check in and check out was easy and quick though.
Food was expensive than anything at the hotel as expected so I just went outside for food. Even then it is a lot less options than in the centre.
Its meant to be opposite the Ha long night market and I thought there would be food stalls and others but there isnt much so we ended up going to the convienence store.
Overall I would never come back to this hotel. It's like a ghost town.
Hotel outside and surrounding looking good but in the room need maintenance. Water leaking in the taps of the bathroom. Hotel have a distance 1/2 km walking down to the beach inconveniences for whoever not good walking🙂
We were given our rooms on the 10th floor. Upon walking out of the elevator, the entire floor was pitch black like a horror movie. We stood there with our phone flashlights for about 5 minutes and still nothing. Started freaking out as a group so went back to the elevator and found a hotel wall phone. Yikes… what an experience! An empty hotel with no greeters or anyone working the front entrance, then a pitch black level to our hotel room. Never again
Excellent staff! I asked for dessert, the first two nights, of my stay, and there wasn’t any. One of the staff gifted me a slice of brownie cake, the following day. She also came to the pool area with hot tea and cookies. My final night there, the kitchen staff sent out dessert for me!

The staff was great but the hotel could use a makeover.
We stayed 4 nights at NOVOTEL Halong bay our stay was comfortable relaxing . Most of staff was friendly & halpful .
Special mention of Ms Trang at reception always go to extra mile to see smile on guest face & staff at time of BF
The hotel room was nice. However the hallways smelled bad. There was a night market across the street that played music till 2 am. It was very loud!! The hotel front desk was kinda uptight and not friendly. Their mixed drinks were like juice, no alcohol. I wouldn’t return
Lovely restaurant on site! Front desk staff was SO helpful! She personally arranged transport to and from Cat Ba island for fair price and make sure it went smoothly. Music can be loud until 12am from party place across the street but would still highly recommend. Clean and beautiful views!
