The Watson Premium HaLong Hotel

Overall wonderful experience, incredible service! Amenities like the spa were great and the gym is a decent size. Incredible views from the rooftop pool! The food at the restaurant was also great!

My stay at this hotel was a delightful experience. The room offered an amazing view that truly enhanced my stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my time there. The breakfast provided was delicious and a great way to start the day. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Not a 5 star hotel more like a 4. Food and attention to detail just not there. Pros - gorgeous hotel very modern and new got free upgrade to a larger room with a great view of halong bay however was a bit misleading as you can hear all the music very loudly in our room as it was two floors down from the pool bar so think they just needed to fill it haha. Gorgeous view from the rooftop pool too. Staff were nice and helpful despite the large language barrier thank god for google translate beds very comfy and room clean. Also our room had a bath and separate shower which was great as most hotels don’t Cons - food was shocking we ordered a few different things as there’s not much in the area and we were knackered most evenings after long days exploring honestly don’t know why we kept ordering haha it’s our own fault but everything was bland and tasteless and SO expensive like £6 for some unseasoned chips £7 for a frozen burger £8 for some fried rice with 0 taste. So disappointing every time we got something the cocktails are expensive too and very basic not horrible but just basic something you’d expect in a 3 star all inclusive resort. Then just little things that make it a 4 not a 5 like the food tray being left outside our room for hours on end, there being loads of sticky fingers prints on touch points like the elevator buttons / toilet doors. Didn’t ruin our stay at all we had a lovely time at the hotel just wish we’d eaten elsewhere Also would suggest to stay on the other side of the bridge if you’re coming to halong bay as this side is super dead and quiet not a lot of shops or anything to do.

comfortable room and good size. nice swimming pool with a relax bar, friendly reception. opp the hotel there is a big wet market and very interesting live seafood and fruits. close to cruise bay 2,
