Halios Luxury Halong Hotel

The room was clean, tidy, and identical to the online photos. The staff were polite and the location was quite convenient. Overall, it was a decent and practical stay for a budget traveller.

Used the hotel as a stop the night before cruise but it is a long way from the port - 30-45 mins depending on traffic. Wanted to visit the cable car and wheel at the top of the hill but you can’t do that from the west side of harbour, you have to start from the other side so need 3 trips!

Hotel Local is in old city. The rooms is not clean much.

I stayed in a double room at Halios in Ha Long for one night in April 2026, and the experience was excellent. The location was very convenient, especially because it was close to the bus station for travelling towards Mong Cai. Grab access was also excellent, as the hotel is located along a wide road, which made getting in and out very easy. The surroundings were quiet but not isolated or worrying, and I felt comfortable coming back even after dark. The room was a clean and ordinary hotel room, but it had everything I needed for a short stay. The air conditioning worked well, and the soundproofing was good, which made the stay comfortable and restful. The bathroom and basic facilities were also clean and in good condition. I used my own amenities, so I cannot comment much on the hotel-provided toiletries, but overall the room felt well maintained. The service was one of the strongest points. The staff were super friendly, very fluent in English, and helpful with requests, including providing another key card. Both check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. Breakfast was included, and the chicken pho was acceptable — not bad at all for a hotel breakfast. Overall, I found Halios to be very good value for money. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to travellers looking for a convenient, clean, and friendly hotel in Ha Long. Five stars.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The quality of the rooms and service is top-notch, especially considering the very affordable price. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. You truly get more than what you pay for here. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great stay without breaking the bank!

Good place Breakfast - just eggs or soup, no rich buffet  No TV, but utube Yes Clean

Bed stinked after two showers I still smell the bed. Even when I sit outside in the rain and wind. Uuugh. Receptionist cool dude offered me the seventh floor with juicy view. Unfortunately a screaming family made me ask for another room. I walked down to the reception and the two shiny welcoming eyes where gone. End of shift. The two eyes that took over the shift where less friendly and promising. Okay, but I can only give you the first level floor (2nd here), because the rest is occupied. My energy felt her hatred smashing in as if I didn't understand what was going on. Okay second floor. Fine by me. I need sleep. And everything the lady passed me by the international anti white men signs flew by. Elbow raising after middle finger scratching on her head. Who scratches with the middle finger without meanings? Dang! So smart as me woke up and stumbled towards the new shift. Friendly guy with another attitude. Professional. No sir, the room on level 6 is not occupied. My answer: and on floor 5 and 4 it's the same isn't it. So, he called with the female manager. And that's where the debunking and victim blaming started. Also the attitude from the reception ex cool dude disappeared. The signals even became worse. They all started to do it. As if suddenly everyone had the flees or itchy skin. But never the less me visiting Viet Numb was a mistake. Thank God it have me inside to not stay a month, but just to check around. See some of Vietnams history. And in seven days I leave the experience there where it belongs. Or else I feel Viet Numbed for the rest of my existence. But I also found what I was looking for and that's the truth. When Liberal people become capitalists they suddenly support communism and feminism. And that's the north of Vietnam. I hope my upcoming throat infection Hanoi gave me is not to harsh. I need vitamins. I need fresh water. I need proper food. Healthy food. Green food. Protein. The breakfast is one to forget about. You get this in hostels or you need to eat noodles in the morning. I personally rather have a lovely release after breakfast. Up to the following accommodation.
