Good location. 15 mins from airport. Room is as per shown pics. air-con working well, hot water bath is good. nice clean room. Lights are all working. Working safe and fridge. both side of bed have Ian charging plugs for usb and type C on wall. Safe and easy to explore the nearby places of interest. At fountain 3 o’clock is the hotel position. 12 o’clock of fountain is a nice local noodle stall open early and close late. Convenient stall at 9 o’clock. further 10 step more is Hard Rock Cafe. across the road is a small road side pizza stall (see pic) At 6 o’clock across the road of fountain is a nice burger western breakfast cafe (see pic). A bit more down that same road end is a money changer shop. Right turn from there is the river then toward night Bazzar market. 10 o’clock fountain position is the night food market 10 mins walk away(must go n see).

old hotel but it’s clean, no lift. It’s near to the restaurants and few attractions it’s like 1km or less walking

Since we couldn’t find a tour for the city, we decided to go with this one instead—and we’re so glad we did! We were especially happy to have Jik with us, whom we first met during our Vang Vieng tour. She went above and beyond what’s expected of a driver. Jik followed the itinerary perfectly—and even added a few extra stops. Thanks to her, we were able to visit all the places we wanted to explore. She made our city tour not only smooth but also fun and memorable. A big thank you to Jik for her warmth, attentiveness, and excellent service. We truly had a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better driver. We highly recommend this tour and especially Jik’s service!

Excellent tour with excellent guide Mr. Taiy. We managed to cover all the itinarery even though the climbing of the hill was tough due to the rain the day before that makes the climbing hard and slippery(muddy). Mr. Taiy waited, guide and help us through the tour. All is good! Highly recommended!

Souk was a truly wonderful tour guide. he was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions. I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. I feel that the tour is great value for money as we were able to see a lot of places and have a great experience. there was more than enough time for each place so it wasn’t rushed at all. I highly recommend this tour

first i was upset that there’s not enough people to take the tour but they offer a driver only trip and i accepted. Jik is so great and she took great pictures of me. I really really enjoyed this trip. If you want someone telling you stories/history about the place go book the private tour. If you’re like me who wants to just soak in the view of the place and take pictures from time to time go with the driver option. I could just google stuff later anyway.
