Vang Vieng Romantic Place Resort

Good: Nothing Bad: The bedrooms have NO WINDOW (so forget about the Mountain View). The bathrooms have NO SHOWER CABIN (and no window of course), so the floor is wet the whole night when you go to the toilets. The bedsheets are DIRTY with traces of blood and other on them, and look kind of yellowish cause, yeah, when you run a hotel you need to buy new bedsheets once in a while. The breakfast consists of POWDER COFFEE, 2 boiled eggs, bananas, and two pan fried toasts. The location is RIDICULOUS, with very limited eating offering on this side of the river. The only « pedestrian bridge » to reach downtown is a 12 minutes walk away, following a road that no one wants to walk along (smelly Tuktuks and noisy motorcycles). The receptionist speaks NO ENGLISH except « CASH ONLY», with NO ATM ON THIS SIDE of the river. The so called « Sofia » manager -if she ever existed- left months ago. Friend, I understand that local entrepreneurs need to make money from foreign travelers and am happy to contribute. But you can’t expect to provide backpackers hostel standard and charge the price of a superior room at your competitors. For 35 USD for a room and 65 USD for a Bungalow, your patient and respectful foreign travelers will expect clean sheets, a window in their bedroom and freshly brewed coffee when they wake up. At least. So if you don’t know how to up your game, then fill each of your no-window bedrooms with four ranges of bunk beds and charge 6 USD / backpacker. No hard feelings then. Anyway, after shortening my stay at the « romantic » I moved on the right side of the river where I got a superior room that ticks all the boxes above - for just 27 USD / night. Hope you see the problem.

We enjoyed our stay there. The only sad thing is that they don't have a restaurant to dine in.

酒店比較偏 在一個小農村裡麪 房間設施比較簡陋 但是服務還不錯 給我們免費升級了房間 早餐也是拿單子自己點 離景點坦普坎也比較近 如果沒有租車的情況下 找嘟嘟車談價格 來回也就150000kip 我住在那邊的時候發大水 老闆給我們延遲到了三點退房 還是要點讚的
