Sisombat Plaza Hotel

The hotel was ok. Staff friendly. Cleaning team did a good job. Don't get deceived by the name sisombat "plaza hotel". It is bearly a 3 * to international standarts. No balconies, a rather small (in january cold) pool without a single sunchair while I was there, located next to the huge parking space in front of the hotel (neither any sunchairs on the rooftop space neither). Breakfast is a limited buffet (nothing fancy), no gym, lobby old woodden chairs nothing appealing or inviting with cosy style there neither hence empty. Rooms are spacy with suuuper hard beds (the record so far in all of my years of ravelling in Asia) and nice big shower. 2 of my windows had mosquito nets which is a big plus. Zero isolation hence you hear every single word from the room next door and the noisy corridor (slaming doors, laughing, talking) and also from people outside of the hotel gathering for smoking or waiting there. Some minor music from outside during the night but not too bad. They provide some free bikes for hotel guests which was great. Apart from breakfast no restaurant nor room service available but plenty of restaurants in easy walking distance. Overall: I was ok for 3 nights but it is not a must do. The entire hotel lacks a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. It is more an acceptable place to just sleep especially for chinese groups.

Overall the stay is average. Location just next to Naga Mall, but about 2-3 KM away from surrounding night market / old town area. Was thought the breakfast is good based on the review, but eventually quite disappointed and the selection are limited, and, the dining hall floor is dirty.

Excellent location, probably the cleanest rooms in Vang Vieng (very low standards in this town!). Front desk speaks English and Chinese. Good breakfast.
