We stayed here for four nights in Vang Vieng. From the train station, we used InDrive ride share app and the ride took about 20 minutes.
Check-in was very smooth. We met the owner, Alex, and his brother Tom, both of whom were welcoming. We were assigned #5, which was quite spacious — especially comfortable for my very tall husband. The room had a king-sized bed plus a single bed. The bathroom was also roomy, with good water pressure. The water was warm (not hot), but given how hot it is in Laos, it was fine.
Wi-Fi worked well, with separate networks for different floors. A/C worked but it's quite old and took a while to cool down the room. In terms of comfort, the larger bed was more comfortable. The single bed was extremely firm — almost board-like.
Breakfast is simple but adequate: eggs (scrambled, over-easy, or sunny-side up, omelette), instant noodles, sliced white bread and baguette, butter, jam, juice, coffee, and tea. It’s basic, but fair for the price point.
The property is very clean, and the housekeeper was friendly. There’s a designated smoking area near the patio. Although our room location was relatively quiet, sound insulation is limited — you can hear neighboring guests talking.
There was a power outage one day during our stay, which we learned can happen frequently. It’s helpful to keep realistic expectations when traveling in this region.
The hotel also offers assistance with tours, train tickets, and motorbike rentals. We didn’t use those services, as there are many tour agencies within about 100 meters of the hotel offering similar options and pricing, so it’s worth comparing. Also there are plenty of eateries within 10 minutes walking distance and we ate at Big Mama, the original one and Cook Savang for dinner.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found it to be good value for the price.
