Ξενοδοχεία με Pools σε Vientiane Province, Laos

"A New Hotel with Potential, but Service Falls Short of Five-Star Standards Pros The hotel is clearly new, and the room is spacious, modern, and equipped with brand-new furniture and fixtures. The bed is comfortable, the air conditioning works very well, and the plumbing is in good condition. Breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel appears to cater primarily to Chinese tourists, with large tour groups arriving by coach. Accordingly, breakfast is largely Chinese-style, which may not suit everyone's tastes. The breakfast area can also be quite noisy, as guests often speak loudly, sometimes seemingly trying to talk over one another. This makes breakfast less relaxing than one might expect. On the positive side, the staff are very accommodating and are happy to prepare alternatives upon request. For example, they kindly made an omelette for me, which I appreciated. Another highlight is the rooftop bar on the seventh floor, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. Cons Unfortunately, several issues detract from the overall experience. There was no soap in the bathroom, despite shampoo and shower gel being provided in the shower. The shower drain was extremely slow, forcing me to turn off the water periodically to prevent the bathroom from flooding. In addition, an unpleasant musty smell frequently came from the bathroom. The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable and kept disconnecting, which was frustrating. Despite having a kettle, tea bags, and instant coffee in the room, there were no cutlery items at all, not even a teaspoon to stir the coffee. Such a small detail, yet an important one when it comes to basic room amenities. The curtains also close automatically every time you return to the room, meaning you have to open them again manually using a button during the daytime. This is a rather odd and inconvenient feature. Another issue is housekeeping. Daily cleaning is not provided automatically and must be requested by displaying the appropriate sign. This is an unexpected policy for a hotel claiming five-star status. The location is another drawback. The hotel is situated away from the main part of town, where most restaurants, cafés, and other activities are concentrated. It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk to the centre, including around 200 metres along a very dusty road. This makes walking back and forth less pleasant, especially if you plan to visit the town centre several times a day. Overall impression The hotel has a solid foundation: it is new, spacious, and comfortable in several respects. The comfortable bed, effective air conditioning, and rooftop bar are definite advantages. However, the service and attention to detail do not match the five-star category it claims to offer. For me, five-star hospitality means consistent, uncompromising standards. Guests should not have to ask for basic bathroom essentials, improvise when making coffee, deal with a poorly draining shower and unpleasant bathroom odours, endure an unreliable Wi-Fi connection, or explicitly request routine housekeeping. The noisy breakfast environment and the dusty road leading to the town centre also make the overall experience less comfortable. Individually, some of these issues may seem minor, but together they reveal significant shortcomings in service, maintenance, and quality control. A five-star hotel should not require guests to make compromises on such basic aspects of their stay. The hotel has potential, but considerable improvements are needed in day-to-day operations, housekeeping, maintenance, and attention to detail before it can truly deliver a five-star experience."

"Absolutely everything about this hotel is magnificent!!! The cleanliness, the quietness, the amazing staff who are always ready to help; a very beautiful location, and a shuttle service to anywhere in the city and back! This hotel is like an oasis 😍 It's worth every single ruble spent! If I ever find myself in Vang Vieng again, I'll only stay here!"

"Located in central location, make it easy to go interesting spot. Also got motorbike rental service near the hotel. Room is spacious and got minibar inside room. Recommended to stay here."

"I stayed here for 7 days. The balcony view is absolutely stunning! There are about 10 breakfast options to choose from. Since it was the off-season, I paid around $20 per night. The swimming pool on the first floor was under renovation during my stay, but it seemed to be finished before I left. It's small, but it's always nice to have a pool."

"I had a very pleasant stay at Kinton Hotel. The staff were one of the highlights of my experience; everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hotel itself was very clean, well-maintained, and centrally located, which made getting around and exploring the area very convenient. The main area I believe could use some improvement is the breakfast. While the quality was average overall, the selection felt somewhat limited and lacked some typical breakfast staples. At a minimum, I would have appreciated options such as scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and a wider variety of quality protein choices. Many of the available dishes were quite greasy and carbohydrate-heavy, with relatively few lighter or protein-focused options."

"Very comfortable, though a bit far from the city center. Didn't get to see the hot air balloons on check-in day due to the wind direction."

"Great value for money. The accommodation is clean, and the owner is friendly. It's inexpensive and includes a delicious breakfast. It's close to restaurants and convenience stores. There's a hairdryer, hot water, and a swimming pool. For this price, I think it's the best value in Vang Vieng."

"There is a large swimming pool and a spacious garden with a green lawn. The location is about a 5-minute walk from the town center. I rented a vehicle, and the staff helped me secure a great rate. The owner of the resort is very kind; since we had to leave early, we requested an early breakfast, and he made sure to accommodate us. We are truly grateful for the friendliness shown to us by the entire ."

"June seems to be Vang Vieng's off-season? There weren't many tourists. This place is primarily a hotel, with only the first floor operating as a hostel, so the breakfast is exactly the same as the hotel's. The price is probably the highest among all hostels in Vang Vieng, but the environment is indeed better. The room and bathroom are quite spacious. A six-bed dorm has two toilet stalls, two shower cubicles, and three sinks. Many hostels only have three or four showers and toilets for an entire floor. This room even has a telephone, kettle, and cups, feeling very much like a hotel room setup. Plus, there's a ton of storage space! There are individual lockers and bedside cabinets, which is super convenient! I had the whole dorm to myself during my stay. It's truly excellent, but there are a couple of minor downsides. The toilet and shower cubicles are a bit dark, and it would be even better if the room had a trash can, as I couldn't find anywhere to dispose of rubbish."

"The staff were absolutely wonderful. Both the female and male staff members were very kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I really appreciated how considerate and supportive they were. There was an insect in my room, but given the beautiful natural surroundings, I understand that this can happen. When I asked the staff for help, they were very happy to assist me. The facilities are basic and appropriate for the price, but I would definitely recommend staying here. I would love to stay here again!"
