Brother Hotel & Travel

Brother Hotel & Travel is a 3-star hotel in Cat Ba town on Cat Ba Island, with a family room that has a balcony and air conditioning in every room. The hotel has four room types, from a 25 m² double room to a 31 m² family room for four guests and a quadruple room with two king-size beds for up to five. Each room has a shower, free toiletries and slippers, and reception speaks English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese.

The hotel is a short walk from the Cát Bà bus station (150 m) and from Public Beach Cat Co 2 (650 m), and the Cat Ba Bay Viewpoint and Monument and the Local Produce Market are both within 650 m. Guests can use the 24-hour front desk, order room service and book a paid airport shuttle. A bar and internet services are on site, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout.

The choice between the room types comes down to size, beds and the balcony. Families travelling together will find the family room and the quadruple room the most practical, since they sleep four and five guests respectively.

Brother Hotel & Travel has four room types, all with air conditioning, and the range runs from a 25 m² double room for two guests to a 31 m² quadruple room for up to five. The Double Room is the most compact, with one double bed, a private bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer and slippers. The Triple Room, at 30 m², has two double beds and fits three guests.

The Family Room with Balcony is also 31 m², with two double beds, a balcony and room for four guests. The Quadruple Room, the largest in sleeping capacity, has two king-size beds and sleeps up to five. Every room has free toiletries, a shower and slippers, so the differences between the rooms come down to size, beds and the balcony.

The facilities are practical rather than extensive. The 24-hour front desk is staffed around the clock, room service is available, and the hotel has a bar on site. A paid airport shuttle is offered, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout.

Internet services are available in the public areas, and WiFi is free of charge in all areas, so guests can stay connected without paying. The property has no parking available, so guests who arrive by car need to find a space elsewhere.

In the rooms, air conditioning and a clothes rack are standard, and family rooms are among the room types on offer. The Family Room with Balcony is the only one of the four room types with a balcony, so it is the choice for guests who want outdoor space from their room.
