The Loft is the largest option at 45 m², an apartment with two bedrooms, five double beds in total and room for up to ten guests.

The hotel is on Núi Ngọc street in Cat Ba town, on the south-east coast of Cat Ba Island, with Lan Ha Bay offshore and the Cat Co beaches close by. Cat Co 2 Beach is 500 m away, Cat Co 1 Beach 700 m and Cat Co 3 Beach 1000 m, while Monkey Island Beach is 2.6 km away. Cannon Fort is 250 m away, Cat Ba Climbing 350 m, and the restaurants Nhà Hàng Cơm Việt and Nhà Hàng Yummy are 250 m away, with Cafe Bon Mua 50 m away.

The bus station at Cát Bà is 350 m from the hotel, so the last stretch from the bus stop is short and can be covered on foot. The Cai Beo ferry terminal for tourists is 1000 m away, and the bus station and the terminal both fall within a 15-minute walk. Cat Bi International Airport lies 34.3 km away.

Within a short walk are the Local Produce Market, 750 m away, and the View on the bay viewpoint, 400 m away, which gives an easy first look over the water. The public beaches of Cat Co 1 and Cat Co 2 are the nearest places to swim, both within 700 m. Further out, Linh Quang Pagoda and Buddhist temple lies 2.4 km away and the Động Minh Châu cave 5.3 km, while Cat Ba National Park stretches inland, so a day of hiking or cycling can be combined with the beaches. Bicycle rental and the tour desk at the hotel make it simple to organise these outings.
