Ours is a triple room bungalow just at the river. View in front of our bungalow is excellent(Mountain and river). Room is clean. Bed is clean and comfortable. Hair dryer and toiletries including tooth brush, tooth paste and comb, bath towels were provided. Free flow of refill drinking water from dispenser. Location is walking distance to night market, tubing and many motor bike and bicycle shops and bus tickets agents. Breakfast is 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of bread and cucumber and tomato, straw berry jam and 1 bowl of pork porridge. Tea and Coffee are free flow. Dec is cold so warm clothing is needed. Cons: No shower screen so toilet and wash basin area is wet after bath. Door of bathroom cannot close, door ajar when occupied. Noise from boat on the river at about 7am through out till about 4pm. - it doesn't bother us though. Swimming pool is only filled up to about 2ft so no one can swim here. There was 1 night where there was noise from workers hampering stuff at about 6am.

Fantastic river view”

Attracted by the river view and pool to book this hotel, everything is over my expectation, the view from bungalow is priceless, fantastic pool and river view, hot air balloon in the morning and evening is a bonus, few balloon flies over, clear view from my bungalow. The pool is big enough, breakfast provided with porridge, toast and eggs, free flow of coffee and tea, some fruit as well, is really relaxing to enjoy the breakfast next to river. The location of hotel is not said centrally, but is all walking distance as the town not really big, just less than 10 minutes walking to night market, lots bike rental, convenient shop and restaurant nearby.

Overall a nice hotel with lovely staff, just a few things to improve on. Such as the cleanliness of the pool. Found a frog and a few bugs here and there. The breakfast is a is pretty average but still okay. Eggs and bread or chicken rice soup. We had a nice view in our room, good size room with a hairdryer. There was a lot of construction going off at the time which is not of fault of the hotel but still obviously made the area less appealing. However would recommend it to others as was still a good location, decent size room, good view for an ok price.

Not as good as it seemed”

Directly by the river, old bungalows and new rooms. Great views. Morning and evening dozens of motorized canoes drive up and down the river and make a hell of a noise. Cleaner was grumpy when I asked her to put a clean duvet cover on, she almost couldn't find one so it doesn't seem to be a standard procedure to put a fresh one on. Darkest bathroom ever as it has black tiles, no window and only one ceiling light. Pool was only half full and not cleaned well.

Disappointing and overpriced ”

Location is great! Beautiful view of the mountain and centrally located. Bungalow was nice, if you like simple and rustic like me but I was definitely missing some basics a hotel should have, like a fridge, glasses and basic toiletries. Pool had no water and was closed the whole 3 days I was there, which was a huge bummer and downfall since it was really hot. Breakfast was terrible and you are better of not booking it. Staff not very friendly. So much potential but poorly managed.

No internet in the room, while internet down stair in the reception area is so slow, almost doesn't work. I cannot pay by credit card, while the exchange rate (to Thai Bath) is much lower than outside. Staff is not enthusiastic and hospitality. In short, I am not satisfy with my selection at this time, in Vang Vieng.

Does not respect reservation ”

We used to stay here many time. This is the third time they ask us to move to a different room. We booked for 4 nights, but stayed for 3 nights. We booked for 2 rooms with twin beds, instead they gave us one bed. I said that's fine. The last night told us we need to move with no view. We decided to checkout and find another room. You would think that with the coronavirus going on, they would have many rooms available. Don't understand why they can't move the newly arrive to the other room. We were there first, why we have to move. The room was OK, just basic. You can't watch the TV because all the channels have static. You can't change the temperature on the AC. Be prepared to open the door to let the cold air out because you can't sleep at night, too cold. Swimming pool is like knee, can't swim, a little dirty. The good thing is the view of the mountain and the river. Not sure how they run the hotel, but need to retrain the personnel. We will not come here again.

Spectacular view”

River at your doorstep

I read most reviews about the hotel before I departed. All claims the hotel has spectacular view. But I was wondering how come not many people booked. And some people claims the music is too loud from the restaurant next door. Well, the view is exactly what they said. Love it. Love the mountain and the river. It is the best location in Vang Vieng. Like what they said, you can get off from the "tubing" at the hotel door step. The problematic music is not from the hotel restaurant but from the resort "the other side of the river". ( really annoying, spoiled the clam and relax atmosphere.) The hotel room is common. Clean enough. No fridge.

Lovely bungalow with great view”

What can I say, we simply loved it here. The view is stunning, the bungalows are spacious, clean and with their own terrace. The 'authentic' wooden house was charming. What people might dislike: Right across the river is a so-called river bar where the tubes come in during the afternoon. This implies loud music for a few hours in the late afternoon (not during the evening or night). We did not mind though, it fitted the blend of hectic Vang Vieng.
