Hoang Yen Guesthouse

Hoang Yen Guesthouse is a hotel in Bai Chay, Ha Long, 1.4 km from the town centre, with direct access to the beach from its seafront position. It suits travellers who want a sea-facing base on the west bank of the city, close to the Sunworld complex and its cable car.

The three room types range from 18 to 28 m² and sleep two to four guests. All of them have air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, and the Quadruple Room with Balcony adds a terrace with sea views, the only room of the three with outdoor space. The property has free private parking on site, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

Guests most often mention the friendly, attentive hosts and the clean, well-equipped rooms, and they value the setting near the beach and the attractions. The rooms are the strongest part of the stay, while the on-site facilities receive the lowest marks.

Hoang Yen Guesthouse has three room types, from the 18 m² King Room with one large king-size bed for two guests to two 28 m² rooms that sleep up to four. The two larger rooms each have two extra-large double beds (super-king size), so they suit a couple or a small group sharing. Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV.

The Quadruple Room with Balcony is the only room with a terrace and sea views, which makes it the choice for guests who want outdoor space. The Queen Room with Two Queen Beds is the same size but has no balcony or terrace, and the King Room is the most compact option, with a private bathroom equipped with a shower, bidet and slippers. Free toiletries and towels are provided in all three bathrooms.

Hoang Yen Guesthouse sits on the seafront in Bai Chay, with direct beachfront access. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, and there is 24-hour security, luggage storage, and CCTV both outside the property and in the common areas. A designated smoking area is set aside, and non-smoking rooms are available. Free private parking is possible on site, and reservation is not needed.

Free WiFi is available in all areas of the property, and internet services are also offered. The rooms have air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with pay-per-view channels. Each bathroom has a toilet, shower, bidet, toilet paper, towels and free toiletries, and the rooms also have slippers and a clothes rack.

For meals, Nhà Hàng Khải Hương is 600 m away, Eco Café is 800 m away, and Beverly Hills Ha Long Coffee Beer is 850 m away for a coffee or a drink.

Hoang Yen Guesthouse is on the seafront in Bai Chay, the main tourist area on the west bank of Ha Long, and has direct access to the beach from the property.
