Hotels met breakfast in Vientiane Province, Laos

"A New Hotel with Potential, but Service Falls Short of Five-Star Standards Pros The hotel is clearly new, and the room is spacious, modern, and equipped with brand-new furniture and fixtures. The bed is comfortable, the air conditioning works very well, and the plumbing is in good condition. Breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel appears to cater primarily to Chinese tourists, with large tour groups arriving by coach. Accordingly, breakfast is largely Chinese-style, which may not suit everyone's tastes. The breakfast area can also be quite noisy, as guests often speak loudly, sometimes seemingly trying to talk over one another. This makes breakfast less relaxing than one might expect. On the positive side, the staff are very accommodating and are happy to prepare alternatives upon request. For example, they kindly made an omelette for me, which I appreciated. Another highlight is the rooftop bar on the seventh floor, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. Cons Unfortunately, several issues detract from the overall experience. There was no soap in the bathroom, despite shampoo and shower gel being provided in the shower. The shower drain was extremely slow, forcing me to turn off the water periodically to prevent the bathroom from flooding. In addition, an unpleasant musty smell frequently came from the bathroom. The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable and kept disconnecting, which was frustrating. Despite having a kettle, tea bags, and instant coffee in the room, there were no cutlery items at all, not even a teaspoon to stir the coffee. Such a small detail, yet an important one when it comes to basic room amenities. The curtains also close automatically every time you return to the room, meaning you have to open them again manually using a button during the daytime. This is a rather odd and inconvenient feature. Another issue is housekeeping. Daily cleaning is not provided automatically and must be requested by displaying the appropriate sign. This is an unexpected policy for a hotel claiming five-star status. The location is another drawback. The hotel is situated away from the main part of town, where most restaurants, cafés, and other activities are concentrated. It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk to the centre, including around 200 metres along a very dusty road. This makes walking back and forth less pleasant, especially if you plan to visit the town centre several times a day. Overall impression The hotel has a solid foundation: it is new, spacious, and comfortable in several respects. The comfortable bed, effective air conditioning, and rooftop bar are definite advantages. However, the service and attention to detail do not match the five-star category it claims to offer. For me, five-star hospitality means consistent, uncompromising standards. Guests should not have to ask for basic bathroom essentials, improvise when making coffee, deal with a poorly draining shower and unpleasant bathroom odours, endure an unreliable Wi-Fi connection, or explicitly request routine housekeeping. The noisy breakfast environment and the dusty road leading to the town centre also make the overall experience less comfortable. Individually, some of these issues may seem minor, but together they reveal significant shortcomings in service, maintenance, and quality control. A five-star hotel should not require guests to make compromises on such basic aspects of their stay. The hotel has potential, but considerable improvements are needed in day-to-day operations, housekeeping, maintenance, and attention to detail before it can truly deliver a five-star experience."

"Was a nice hotel at a great location in Vang Vieng with a beautiful pool. Staff was also very helpful especially Dej who was super kind to assist us with booking our train tickets. Only downside of the hotel was the shower which oscillated between hot and cold water but that may have just been our room."

"DO NOT STAY HERE! If you read the reviews you will see that many people complain about items being stolen from there bags. I have a strong suspicion this is the cleaners and instead of cleaning they are going through people’s bags. Upon check in we were warned by the receptionist not to leave any valuables in our room and to take them everywhere with us. Which is not what you want to hear at check in. Anyways luckily we listened to the receptionist as we had seen concerning reviews before staying here. Without surprise our bags had been gone through. Luckily nothing was stolen from us as we were smart enough to remove our valuables. However, still leaving an unsettling feeling knowing items were moved in our bags as they got searched, they even left the zipper in the incorrect position after as seen in the image. Despite this issue there were also a lot of ants in our room and the room wasn’t properly cleaned any time the cleaners entered the room as there were stains left on the counters and floors and I expect the cleaners were too busy trying to steal stuff. Despite these issues it is not the worst place and the location is good but I think if they just got new trustworthy cleaners then this place would be so much better."

"I booked a mountain view room with a terrace. The scenery was beautiful, and although they were a bit far off, I could even see the hot air balloons. My only concern was that there were lots of tiny ants on the bed and table, but since there were no other bugs, it's tolerable for a short stay. Due to a cancelled flight, I ended up booking an extra night in a city view room. That room didn't have any bugs, and unlike the previous room, it was stocked with amenities such as shampoo, a comb, and a toothbrush. Breakfast offers a choice from a few set menus. It's also within walking distance to the city center, which was very convenient."

"Voorzieningen: De tweepersoonskamer had een groot tweepersoonsbed en een eenpersoonsbed. We kregen aanvankelijk de verkeerde kamer toegewezen. De kamer was kleiner dan op de foto's leek. Er waren twee kleine flesjes drinkwater en wegwerptoiletartikelen. De kleine zakjes shampoo waren erg goed! Er was een föhn, maar geen kledinghangers. We vroegen het personeel ernaar en het duurde even voordat ze er drie voor ons hadden gevonden. Er is een zwembad op de t****e verdieping. We hebben niet gezwommen, maar het zag er vrij schoon uit. Het ligt echter aan de hoofdstraat, dus het leek erg stoffig. Netheid: De kamer zelf was oké, maar de buitenkant was een ander verhaal. We moesten onze schoenen uittrekken voordat we de lobby binnenkwamen, en na een dag buitenactiviteiten begrepen we dat en deden we ze uit. Veel andere gasten deden dat echter niet, waardoor de vloer behoorlijk vies was. Zorg ervoor dat je in ieder geval sokken draagt. Omgeving: Vang Vieng is over het algemeen stoffig, dus de omgeving is vrijwel overal hetzelfde, tenzij je in een vijfsterrenhotel verblijft. Vang Vieng is ook vrij klein. De locatie van dit hotel is prima; Je kunt vrijwel overal naartoe lopen, maar het is wel een beetje ver van het drukste gedeelte. Service: Over het algemeen was het goed. Het personeel bij de receptie sprak basis Engels, maar door hun accent was het soms wat lastig te verstaan. De receptie boekte een gedeelde rit naar het treinstation voor 50.000 won per persoon; ik weet niet zeker of het een gedeelde minibus of een songthaew was. Het ontbijt was prima, vrij eenvoudig, voornamelijk pannenkoeken, gebakken eieren en roerei; er was brood, fruit, sap en koffie beschikbaar om zelf te pakken. Er was een klein probleempje bij het inchecken; ze konden de boeking niet vinden door alleen mijn paspoort te laten zien. Als je via Ctrip boekt, moet je de receptie laten weten dat het via Trip of Ctrip is geboekt, zodat ze de boeking snel kunnen vinden."

"This is a gem of a resort! We still talk about our stay here. Probably, one of the best pools I've been in. The views are incredible, the breakfast is sumptuous, the rooms are exceptional, and the spa is fantastic! The ONLY drawback I can think of is the (approx 15 min) walk back from the center of town (we felt very safe!) Getting to town center is not an issue as they have a shuttle service (5-7 drive) But if that is not an issue for you, then just go and stay here and you will not regret it"

"Location is super convenient, the tuktuk from the station dropped us off right there. Unfortunately the evenings were extremely loud until around midnight to 0:30. Apart from the noise the rooms were good, comfortable and clean. There is no elevator. They have laundry service and good breakfast. Can see the hot air balloons from the balcony area."

"There is a large swimming pool and a spacious garden with a green lawn. The location is about a 5-minute walk from the town center. I rented a vehicle, and the staff helped me secure a great rate. The owner of the resort is very kind; since we had to leave early, we requested an early breakfast, and he made sure to accommodate us. We are truly grateful for the friendliness shown to us by the entire ."

"This stay truly exceeded my expectations! The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right in the city center. There are plenty of dining options, shopping, and attractions nearby, so getting around is a breeze – you can go anywhere easily. The hotel environment is also very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, making for a relaxing stay. My favorite parts were the pool and billiards area; it was great to unwind there in the evening, creating a wonderful vibe! Breakfast is served on the 5th floor from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM. It's super convenient to have it right in the hotel, and the variety was good, really starting the day off right. The hotel has 8 floors in total. If you want a more comfortable stay with better views, I highly recommend choosing the Deluxe View Room. The scenery outside the window is truly beautiful and makes for fantastic photos. If you're on a budget, the Economy or Standard rooms are also great value for money. Regardless of the room type you choose, you still get access to the hotel's public areas like the pool and breakfast area, and you can still enjoy the mountain views surrounding the hotel. Overall, the experience is excellent. Overall, it's perfect for a vacation or a trip with friends. I'll definitely be back next time, and I highly recommend it to everyone!"
