Kirill RaikovA 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.

NazarethbuxThe hotel is a perfect location, very easy access to the town and also a gorgeous unobstructed view of the mountains. It pretty quiet and peaceful.
The bathroom could use a little/ maintenance tidying up to feel more clean. But other than that everything was lovely! The room was really spacious and comfortable for two of us and it was totally worth paying a bit more for the balcony with a view. We watched the sunset from there one day and could see some hot air balloons and paramotorists.
The breakfast is pretty good, quite Asian/ Chinese. They have some yogurt, fruits, baked goods and chicken sausage and bacon but most of the other food is Chinese. Good variety though! They had gluten free cereal on request but sadly it wasn’t very good.
The hotel helped us to book tours and their communication was really good. The WiFi is also great!

Guest UserThe modern design made for a very comfortable stay. There's a popular pizza place with a long line right in front, and also a really good massage parlor nearby. The water pressure and hot water in our room were excellent. The only downside was the poor drainage. We asked the reception to arrange a train for our next day's travel, but there seemed to be a mix-up, and they kept apologizing.

AdalbertThe hotel is not quite new, that is obvious. The mirror on the room was missing, broken out by force.
There is no WiFi except in the reception area. The photo of the building shows balconies at all rooms on the photo side. But my room had none.
There was no daily room service.
For the rest it was okay. Well maintained, clean, quiet inside and mountain view from the windows. Small fridge, AC, full working bathroom. (Long waiting for warm water)
The breakfast buffet was great.
The swimming pool in front of the entrance was good. The seating area around poor. I really missed a bigger and nicer area, perhaps garden like around. Especially for I had no balcony.
I would go there again for sleeping and having breakfast. But for holidays I want to have a decent place outdoors as well.

Super_CHNTraveling to Vang Vieng with my child, our stay at Lisha Garden Resort Hotel(Hot Air Balloon View Hotel & Infinity Pool & Panoramic Garden Views) was excellent. The resort has fantastic greenery and flowers everywhere, providing a wonderful space for kids to play freely in the garden. The overall environment is peaceful and quiet, not noisy at all, and the rooms are clean and tidy, ensuring a great night's sleep. The staff were very friendly and patiently answered all our questions about local attractions and getting around. It's also conveniently located for sightseeing; visiting the hot air balloons and other attractions is a reasonable distance, and the roads are flat, making it easy to push a stroller without getting tired. The relaxed pace is perfect for traveling with children.

ian_smashWe stayed in the deluxe villa for 2 nights and it was well worth it. Just chilling out on the deck and having breakfast whilst enjoying the rice field with the mountain as the backdrop is just magical. Not only was the setting but the bed was comfortable, the room was very cozy, aircon in good working order (as the heat can be unbearable during the day), amenities, shower etc were all perfect. I couldn’t get the TV working but it did not bother us so much as we were enjoying the peace and tranquility. I highly recommened waking up at dawn and take a walk through the rice fields to soak it all in whilst noone is around. Perfect time to meditate or do yoga during the summer season. Staff were also very welcoming and friendly, and would attend to our needs when required. And f you are in two minds between here and a hotel in town, I’d say here is by far more exceptional.

We stayed here for four nights in Vang Vieng. From the train station, we used InDrive ride share app and the ride took about 20 minutes.
Check-in was very smooth. We met the owner, Alex, and his brother Tom, both of whom were welcoming. We were assigned #5, which was quite spacious — especially comfortable for my very tall husband. The room had a king-sized bed plus a single bed. The bathroom was also roomy, with good water pressure. The water was warm (not hot), but given how hot it is in Laos, it was fine.
Wi-Fi worked well, with separate networks for different floors. A/C worked but it's quite old and took a while to cool down the room. In terms of comfort, the larger bed was more comfortable. The single bed was extremely firm — almost board-like.
Breakfast is simple but adequate: eggs (scrambled, over-easy, or sunny-side up, omelette), instant noodles, sliced white bread and baguette, butter, jam, juice, coffee, and tea. It’s basic, but fair for the price point.
The property is very clean, and the housekeeper was friendly. There’s a designated smoking area near the patio. Although our room location was relatively quiet, sound insulation is limited — you can hear neighboring guests talking.
There was a power outage one day during our stay, which we learned can happen frequently. It’s helpful to keep realistic expectations when traveling in this region.
The hotel also offers assistance with tours, train tickets, and motorbike rentals. We didn’t use those services, as there are many tour agencies within about 100 meters of the hotel offering similar options and pricing, so it’s worth comparing. Also there are plenty of eateries within 10 minutes walking distance and we ate at Big Mama, the original one and Cook Savang for dinner.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found it to be good value for the price.

The stay was okay, but unfortunately the staff were not very friendly and didn’t even greet guests, which made me feel unwelcome. Also, the prices for renting a scooter were almost twice as high as at other places nearby. Overall, it was fine, but I expected a warmer atmosphere and fairer prices.

Путешествиник мираWonderful hotel! Cozy, clean bungalows. We had a bungalow with a magnificent mountain view from both the bathroom and the balcony. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, which we used several times and really enjoyed! The room had all the amenities and was quiet. The hotel is generally located a bit off the main road, so it's quiet on the property. The only minor issue was the limited food options at breakfast. There aren't many guests at the hotel, so it seems they only set out a small buffet and don't replenish it once the food runs out.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would gladly come back again.
