Citadines Marina Halong

It a super modern hotel and very new, clean and the staff are fabulous. All the facilities you need like multiple pools (one heated) +bars and restaurants and a gym. The local area is however a bit barren and lifeless with many empty condos and partially built hotels and other developments. You can however take a free bicycle and ride for a couple of k's to the local food streets with great seafood. In the height of summer it may be raging, but in Feb the area was pretty deserted.

Vibrant and very modern situated 5 minute walk from the beach and on a clear day I’m sure the views of the bay are stunning. Two pools and a gym adorn this hotel. The twin room had two single beds with modern tv connections and a secondary room with kitchen and a multitude of hanger space. Large modern shower was ideal. The balcony has panoramic views of the town and bay. A little outside of the touristy areas but with so much development in halong, I’m sure that’s about to change. Perhaps more food options for room service could be looked at. Breakfast was a vast and nutritious buffet style and the staff were helpful and diligent. I get the feeling that as time goes on this hotel will win plenty of awards for sure.

The hotel is in excellent condition and the rooms were very modern and clean. The kitchen was excellent as our son and daughter have multiple food allergies requiring us to cook. The staff at the restaurant on the main floor, our server, was amazing and checked ingredients for us when asked. Food was also very delicious. We enjoyed the pool on the top floor and views of Halong Bay.

We stayed here as a family of 5 for 2 weeks. During our stay, we experienced...the best burgers we ever had, the best seafood buffet with live music, the best breakfast in Vietnam, a lovely bike-around experience with free bicycles provided at reception, great gym facilities, wonderful and attentive staff. WiFi was great, we were able to continue working online. We also loved the practical aspects of this condominium-hotel like the washing machine in the apartment.

We had an excellent 1 night stay here before going on a cruise in Halong Bay. The hotel is new so everything is nice and clean. The studio we booked had everything you needed for a longer stay as well with a small kitchen equipped with all you would need to cook if you wanted to. We had a nice balcony as well with great views of the bay. The hotel has a laundry room where they have washers and dryers you can use ( you buy the coins from the reception), and they also provide the laundry detergent. We booked the half board option, so for dinner, we had a set menu. The food was very good. I would happily return to this hotel.
