    My recent stay at Vangvieng Backpackers was fantastic. I stayed for a few days and found the hotel to be excellent value for money. The rooms were basic but well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities. Despite being on the main road, the hotel was surprisingly quiet, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep. The included breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of options. The pool was a great addition, providing a refreshing escape from the heat. The location was also convenient, with easy access to the bus drop off, walking street, market, and plenty of dining options nearby.

    I would recommend this hotel.

    For the price we paid, we got excellent value and a well-maintained room that had everything we needed. The location was convenient, right in the center but still peaceful.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    It was conveniently located near cheap eatery options and the room provided ample space for us to relax and unwind. getting a scooter was easy, making it easy for us to explore the surrounding area. The pool was also clean and inviting, perfect for a refreshing swim.

    The breakfast service was disorganized and often took over 30 minutes to receive our food.

    Best aspects of my stay included the great location, with easy access to the bus drop off, walking street, market, and plenty of dining options nearby. The hotel also offered a lovely pool and a social pool table, perfect for relaxing and mingling with other guests. the breakfast was superb, with a variety of choices including pancakes, eggs, toast, and fresh fruit.

    Worst aspects of my stay included unwelcoming staff at reception and some issues with the room. The mattress and duvet had a moldy smell, even after the staff changed the sheets and duvet cover.

    The value for money at this place is amazing! The room was basic but had everything I needed and was well maintained. The location was perfect, tucked back from the main road so it was quiet, but still surrounded by restaurants and mini markets. The staff were helpful with organizing tickets and rentals, and the views from the room were gorgeous.

    As for breakfast items, it would have been better if there were more options to choose from on the menu.
