Hotels met Pools 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."

"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"

"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 stayed here for 7 days. The balcony view is absolutely stunning! There are about 10 breakfast options to choose from. Since it was the off-season, I paid around $20 per night. The swimming pool on the first floor was under renovation during my stay, but it seemed to be finished before I left. It's small, but it's always nice to have a pool."

"Excellent Stay at Kinton Hotel – Highly Recommended! I had an amazing stay at Kinton Hotel. The place is packed with amenities and the service is truly top-notch. They provided free pick-up and drop-off, which made everything smooth and hassle-free. One huge plus is their self-service laundry and dryer – super useful, especially if you’re doing outdoor activities or a longer trip. The food was quite good, and the cleanliness was exceptional. On the first day, our room was accidentally missed during cleaning, but they immediately sent someone up as soon as we let them know – great responsiveness. I also booked via Trip.com, where it mentioned late checkout. The hotel honored that without hesitation, which I really appreciated. For a city that’s full of parties and adventures, it’s great to come back to a comfortable, clean, and calm hotel like this. The price is very reasonable for what you get – maybe even a bit more value than you pay for. If you’re visiting Vang Vieng, I highly recommend staying here. 👍"

"Beautiful boutique hotel with amazing views across the river to the stunning mountains. Rooms are nicely decorated with different local Lao culture items and a nice terrace and balcony respectively to enjoy the views. Spa is located right at the river front and several different packages are offered. Very enjoyable to relax in the afternoon. Staff is nice and welcoming. Breakfast is great with nice views. Food offered at dinner is nice but was missing something. Hotel is a bit dated but overall impression is very nice. Would definitely stay again."

"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."

"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 ."

"verbleef onlangs in het Oudomsin Hotel in Vang Vieng en had een fantastische ervaring. De locatie is uitstekend, waardoor het gemakkelijk is om de omgeving te verkennen. De kamer was ruim, schoon en ongelooflijk gezellig, en bood een comfortabel toevluchtsoord na een dag vol avontuur. Het personeel was buitengewoon behulpzaam, altijd bereid om te helpen met een glimlach. Het hotel beschikt ook over een heerlijk zwembad, perfect om 's middags te ontspannen. Het ontbijt was een hoogtepunt, met een verscheidenheid aan heerlijke opties om de dag te beginnen. Ik heb enorm genoten van mijn verblijf en zou Oudomsin Hotel zeker weer kiezen voor mijn volgende bezoek aan Vang Vieng. Een echte aanrader!"

"The staff were absolutely wonderful. Both the female and male staff members were very kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I really appreciated how considerate and supportive they were. There was an insect in my room, but given the beautiful natural surroundings, I understand that this can happen. When I asked the staff for help, they were very happy to assist me. The facilities are basic and appropriate for the price, but I would definitely recommend staying here. I would love to stay here again!"
