Laos Ski Holidays

Clean room, good breakfast, close to night market and nice river view. however, not so easily exesesible because its on a one way street.

We sure enjoyed our stay at the Victoria Xiengthong. The location was near most local attractions. The staff was very attentive to our well-being. Additionally, we were grateful to a surprise upgrade to a wonderful suite. We’d certainly use this facility for our next travel.

The bad: Unless I'm reading this wrong, this place shows up as a 5 star on Expedia. 5 stars is NOT the class for this hotel. I got the deluxe balcony and couldn'tell the difference between any of the rooms, so if you're gonna stay, maybe have them show the difference between the rooms, so you know what you're getting, (mine didn't have the white soffit shown in the pic, so maybe it wasn't the right room?). We got Lao massage, and would certainly not do that there again. There was no strength put into it, it was more of a rub than a massage. It's a tiny, tiny room. The balcony is the walkway up to your room (it does have sitting furniture on it, which is nice). The good: The bed is super comfortable.

Shower water was room temperature and not enough flow and no lotion and shower cap in the room and facial tissue.

the hotel is immaculate.

The room was very nice, staff not as helpful unless they know you will tip them. Amenities are ok. Probably will not stay again.

When we arrived, there were no greetings and no one to take our luggage upstairs but no biggie. Check in was easy and we went to our room. First, the lobby was lovely and decked with holiday decor. It felt modern and old at the same time which gave it a great feel and look. They have plenty of modern, comfy seats to sit and hang out. In the lobby area they also have a coffee/beverage/snack stand. We didn’t get anything from them because the prices are more reasonable on the road, but it’s convenient. The hallways are dated as well as the room. We stayed in the Grand Luxury Double. The space is great. Very spacious. It is more dated than lux, but workable. You definitely get a City view. We left the sign on the door to clean the room, but no came and cleaned the room. I had to call to get fresh towels, water and for them to take out the trash. The cleaner acted like we were bothering her, but it didn’t phase us. The pool didn’t look that inviting, so we didn’t use it. The best thing about the hotel is the breakfast!! The variety was great! I love that they served numerous Laotian dishes and minimal western dishes. They stayed true to their culture. They served chicken noodle soup, pork noodle soup, pan fried noodles, fried rice, different meats, salads, juices, eggs, sausages, breads, fruit and more!! All so good! Eating places are on the same road, but to have more variety requires a 10-15 minute walk. To get to the mall is a 20-25 minute walk. Overall, it was a decent stay.
