Families have two options. The Family Room with Balcony, at 30 m², has two double beds, a view and a balcony, and sleeps up to four.

The restaurant and the bar are on site, and room service is available, so you can eat and drink without leaving the hotel. A sauna and a water park complete the leisure facilities, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

Free WiFi is available in all areas and is free of charge, and internet services are offered for guests who need a connection. Air conditioning is available, and the whole property is non-smoking. Family rooms are among the room types, so families can choose a room sized for more than two.

An airport shuttle is available for a fee, and there is no parking available at the property, so guests who travel by car will need to find parking elsewhere. Check-in runs from 12:00 to midnight and check-out is by 12:00.

Gia Cat Long Hotel & Travel stands in Cat Ba town, on the south-east coast of Cat Ba Island, where the town meets the Cat Co beaches. Cat Co 1 Beach and Cat Co 2 Beach are each about 500 m away, and Cat Co 3 Beach is 700 m, so the sand is within a short walk in more than one direction. Lan Ha Bay lies offshore, and the centre of Ha Long, on the mainland across the water, is 25.9 km away.

The direct buses from Hanoi reach Cat Ba town, and the Cát Bà bus station is 200 m from the hotel, so the last stretch is a short walk. Cat Bi International Airport is the nearest airport, 34.2 km away, while Van Don International Airport is 55.4 km from the hotel. The property offers a paid airport shuttle, and the Cai Beo Terminal For Tourists lies 1.3 km away in town.

Cat Ba National Park begins 50 m from the hotel, and its forest trails are the main reason many guests head inland, away from the beaches. Cat Ba Climbing is 350 m away for those who want to try rock climbing, and the Cat Ba Bay Viewpoint and Monument, also 350 m away, overlooks the bay. Cannon Fort is a historic site 450 m away. Linh Quang Pagoda and Buddhist temple lies 2.4 km away, outside the town centre.
