Vansana Vang Vieng

We had a huge room with a nice view on the river. Shower couldn't really be regulated - either hot or cold. And the water pressure had the same problem. Breakfast was quite good, especially the soup. Service can still be improved!

The hotel was clean and well kept. Views of the river and mountains are beautiful. Breakfast was the typical Asian fare. Unfortunately long tail boats move up and down the river incessantly causing noise and fuel pollution. I would not stay here again.

I live in Vientiane, and drove up to Vang Vieng in mid-April 2021 at PiMai (New Year) to spend a few days relaxing. Because of the pandemic, the normally very busy town had no foreign tourists, just other local people visiting, so hotel and guesthouse occupancy was very low. Walk-in prices were much lower than booking online. The hotel has a car park area in the front. I paid $25 a night (no breakfast) at Vansana; this was the first time that I had stayed there. Since it seemed almost no one else was staying there, staffing was minimal - housekeeping, one doorman, and one desk manager. But other than needing assistance with changing a couple of light bulbs, and putting new batteries in the remotes for TV and AC, everything was fine. The hotel location is excellent, on the river near the center of town, shopping area and restaurants. The hotel sits on the river, has excellent views, and has a very nice pool (I was the only one sitting at the pool the 4 days I was there). The room was large with a balcony, had a good TV and AC, frig, safe, comfortable beds, the WiFi worked well, the bathroom was nice with an enclosed shower and fluffy towels. There is a hot water pot, and coffee and tea are provided. I could not have asked for more.

This hotel must have been the bees knees before the Amari was built next door. It does appear to have been left to deteriorate over the last two years of covid lockdowns, but dont let that deter you. Room had a great view and balcony, the pool was great and clean. I really hope they get the bar and restaurant up and runnibg again and dust off the sun beds (they were stacked away in a room), as this hotel has potential to return to its former glory.
