Oudomsin VangVieng Hotel

older property

Everything was great. This Hotel is awesome.

Netjes, grote kamer en dichtbij het centrum en toch rustig gelegen

The only positive for this hotel is the bed - pretty comfortable. Unfortunately, the rest of the stay was a complete let-down. My strong advice is to stay anywhere else in Vang Vieng. 1. The room has zero sound proofing. This allows all the external noise (of which there is lots) in during the night. This makes sleep very difficult. 2. If you can get to sleep, you may be woken up by guests loudly talking in the corridors or reception calling your room at 1am. They asked if I wanted to move room - an absurd question at that time. 3. The pool is useless as it is in the shade for the whole day. It is too cold to use. 4. The breakfast is genuinely dreadful - dry fruit, cold bacon, bad coffee. 5. The cleaners don't clean your room - they only empty your bin. We were left with dirty towels, empty water bottles and no toilet paper. 6. $120 went missing from our travel case. 7. Very difficult to communicate with reception due to poor/ non existent English. 8. The balcony is useless as the hotel does not provide any chairs for it - it's just a waste of space. These complaints were sent to the hotel directly. I've had no response.

Ok hotel, close to all attractions and nice customer service.

Hôtel très propre. Chambre spacieuse et très grand lit. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Seul petit bémol : le petit déjeuner qui n’est pas forcément adapté à un occidental

Room is spacious. Bed and pillow are good. Shower is good as well. Has a good location, near sights.

Pool is laying in the shadow all day and the water is ice cold. So technically you can't spend any time at the pool or in the sun. During our whole stay it wasn't possible to pay by card, which they didn't mention. They said to try it later (they said it two times) and eventually said you couldn't pay by card this whole month. Should have said before.

They let you pay cash only. Then they have a fixed rate of their own if you don’t have US dollars. In Kip we had to pay more than what booking.com quoted for us as a result. Beds too hard from the lowest quality, didn’t sleep well. Bathroom had sometimes smell from the drainages. Noise from the main street because the windows of the balcony are built poorly and do not block noise. No coffee in the breakfast unless you like to drink a powder sachet of nescafe and consider this as “coffee”. At 82 USD per night this hotel is totally not related to its price category. If you are looking for better standards look for another hotel. If the rate was 55-60 USD we wouldn’t rate it badly since we would expect it to be of low quality. However here it’s misleading. The staff had very bag English and it was hard to communicate. We wanted to know the price of a taxi to the train station and they quoted us with 200K kip. We rejected and found instantly a driver outside that took us for 100K kip. Ripping off tourists with 100% markup is out of taste.

Great and modern room. Very good breakfast. Helpful staff.

Kids running around and shouting in the hallway.
