The Watson Premium HaLong Hotel

My stay at The Watson was nothing short of perfect. Stunning view, close to many shops, near Tuan Chau Island where you get to board cruise ships. Breakfast was great and had many options. Service was impeccable from all staff members, especially from Ms Huong. She went out of her way to make my stay comfortable.

Love this hotel so much! Modern interior, sleek n elegant! The view from the rooftop is amazing too!

In contrary to a lot of the 1-2 star comments, the hotel was build in 2023 but it does feel a bit old and amenities it feels more like a 3 star rather than 5, BUT considering the price, our stay was quite pleasant, the room was clean with great view, I especially applaud the service staff at the front desk, they speaks both basic Chinese and English which made the communication much easier, gave us recommendations for food near by and if you wish to book cruise , they have their own contact as well, but my advice will be still doing your own research and go with your own preferred choice. The check out time is 11am instead of 12 stated on trips, but we had to check out a bit late at 11.30qm, the front desk did not made any fuss about that, everything was good and smooth. For the price you are paying, the room and service is up to the price point’s expectation personally.

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.

A nice hotel, had everything you need, with a great view over Ha Long bay. A good price and would stay again

Overall, very nice experience, big and clean rooms, breakfast a little bit crowded but good, swimming pool and rooftop bar stunning , very good help from RECEPTION.

Good hotel

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.
