Hạ Long New Century Hotel offers three room types, and they share the same core equipment. Every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproofed walls, a minibar and a view over the city, so the differences lie mainly in size, bed layout and bathroom details. Each room is set for two adults, and the occupancy is up to four guests, including up to two children.

The Suite is the largest at 56 m², with a single extra-large double bed (super-king size), a bath alongside the walk-in shower and bidet, and a seating area. The Large Double or Twin Room measures 36 m² and offers either the extra-large double bed or two single beds, with a safety deposit box in the room. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room is the most compact at 28 m², with the same city view and minibar but less floor space. All three include free toiletries, bathrobes and a hairdryer.

The facilities centre on a rooftop swimming pool, a kids' pool and a terrace, with beachfront access, sun loungers or beach chairs and BBQ facilities. A fitness room, a 24-hour front desk and a lift serve the building, and family rooms are among the options for travelling with children.

The restaurant serves Vietnamese and Asian dishes for lunch and dinner, and kids' meals and special diet menus on request are part of the offer. A bar, a snack bar, wine and champagne, fruit and a minibar complete the food and drink side, and room service is available.
