Average stay, nice staff and good breakfast, beds are very hard though. Good location with gods views and quiet, Bombies restaurant down the road is superb!
Set on a hilltop overlooking the town the Hotel was really picturesque. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this unique Hotel.
This hotel is amazing! The rooms are gorgeous. The views are spectacular. The lobby and veranda are beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant is good, and it is a short walk down the hill to several nice places to eat. I would travel back to Phonsavan just to stay in this hotel. Amazing!
I arrived very late at night (2300). I tried to call the hotel to let them know but was unable to contact the hotel - the phone number wasn’t correct, so when I arrived the gate was closed. Apparently, you could slide the big gate open but I didn’t know that. When I did get in (a local person phoned the hotel), the staff were very nice and checkin was easy despite little English being spoken.
The suite was huge with a full lounge, a huge bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen/storage area. Everything worked and was very clean. Very comfortable. The view from the patio of room 01 was fabulous. The hotel was quiet,
Breakfast was good and varied and fresh. The staff were extremely helpful and always professional and polite.
They have a shuttle bus that took me to and from a museum (MAG office - google it - so interesting).
Despite the initial arrival issues, I would stay here again and wish I’d had more time here.

Rooms good but hotel a bit dated. Food options at the hotel very limited (being Veg/Vegan). Away from the town center.
Given other options available, this one is still the best
Rooms lit only by cold glaring fluorescent lights. Property has great views, but is near to nothing. Individual hot water heaters in rooms not sufficient for showers. Restaurant food is mediocre, and restaurant not always open when expected to be.
Attentive staff, but that plus good views aren't enough.
Hotel con stanze spaziose fornite di tutti i servizi in un piacevole giardino. Qualche difficoltà a comunicare con il personale che non parla molto inglese. Colazione media.
Great location with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. Room was clean and spacious only aspect I would fault is that the beds are very hard. We had dinner at the restaurant found the food to be good and reasonably priced and enjoyed watching the sunset over the hills. Hotel was perfect for a two day stay to visit the plain of jars.

Het hotel is charmant en het personeel is heel vriendelijk maar het ligt nogal ver lopen van de straat met restaurantjes etc. Er is wel een shuttle dienst in de avond. De bedden zijn heel erg hard.

This is probably the best hotel in Phonsavan and it has the potential to be great - lovely setting with amazing views and a complimentary shuttle into town. The rooms are also very spacious but just really need a makeover - outdated decor - and we had a very hard bed but we ate in the hotel and it was delicious. So, it’s just very tired and the staff try hard but struggle with English more than we encountered elsewhere. But it will only get better if people come to this area so I would encourage people to come and support it.

Run Down but Great Views
The room we stayed in was a little tired and worn. There was a cool bathtub (in a kitschy way) but the drain plug didn't work which wasn't really a problem since it would have taken a week to fill with the minimal water pressure available. It looks like they are building new rooms when it might be better for them to redo the ones they have or at least replace the mattresses. We were there during the very, low season which I think impacted the food which was pretty bad. If you stick to Lao food, you do better. On the bright side, the views from the hotel were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony of our room drinking wine and taking in the view. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The shuttle will take you to town or to the airport. It seems far from the center but it was an easy walk - even in a downpour.
Nice hotel on a hill with good views. Since it was low season, the hotel had few guests, so it was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed my large room with comfortable bed/pillows. Nice bathroom with shower/soaker tub combination. The water pressure in the sink was somewhat low, although sufficient enough. Great wifi in the room (#25). Plenty of space and hangers for clothes. The balcony was good size with chairs and table and a nice view. I thoroughly enjoyed the balcony.
The staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast choices were good and the stir fried noodles with vegetables, as well as the stir fried rice with vegetables, I had were excellent.
It is about a fifteen minute walk from the hotel to the main road in Phonsavan. Not much that I could find to do there, but there are plenty of restaurants.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Clean hotel, good place to stay for a visit to the plain of jars. Quite expensive we felt but restaurant is nice and not expensive.

Overpriced
Qualidade mediana do serviço não justifica o preço relativamente alto cobrado. Nao existe internet nos quartos, somente no lobby. O pessoAl da recepção é distante e não muito informado sobre as próprias atrações de Phonsavan.
Ordentliches Hotel, saubere große Zimmer, sonniger Balkon (ohne Aussicht, da große Bäume davor); toller Shuttleservice in die Stadt, sodass die Lage etwas abseits kein Problem ist. Mitarbeiter verstehen sehr schlecht englisch.
Trotz nicht gebuchter Abholung sind wir am Busbahnhof von einem Hoteltaxi bereits erwartet worden. Kostenloser Shuttle Service nach Downtown. Frühstück war ok aber nix besonderes.
