Vansana Plain of Jars Hotel

Reading other reviews I am not sure what people expect sometimes . 
This is an old, dated 2 star hotel . It doesn’t claim to be anything other than that .
The rooms were basic but comfortable. 
The bathrooms were dated but clean and functional. 
Breakfast was simple but plentiful .
Dinner was the same .
If you are going to the Plain of Jars then stay here

Nice quiet location; close enough to the main drag to walk.  Sweet vista from restaurant.  Breakfast was just okay.  Very reasonable price.

the rooms are very large 
everything needed is there

the service is very nice, on request tea and coffee etc is brought to the room

due to very early departure I had my breakfast prepacked for me, and coffee too

laundry service worked perfectly

Staff is very, very helpful, great view and private location. Very clean and everything worked in the room.

Nice location on top of hill. Very good restaurant in hotel. Nice, clean and quiet rooms. Good beds. What else could you want? We stayed 2 night in this beautiful hotel and will give it my best recommendations.

The hotel overlooks the city and the bungalows are quite large with a sitting room, dressing room and a big sleeping room with adjacent bathroom. There is a balcony overlooking the valley at the back of the hotel and you can request to have a wood fire lit in your room. There is a shuttle to go to the city centre, which is on demand between 5 and 10pm. You just have to ask the restaurant where you ate to call them and they come to pick you up. In the morning, the wood fire in the dining room is very nice as it is chilly and foggy in the morning. Good breakfast and nice staff.

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.

the rooms are big! the restaurant good, breakfast just fine, shuttle to town, if you need it. clean, some nice artworks on display. it needs a bit of paint and  pressure water clean. however I have the feeling the longer you stayed here the better you would enjoy it

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.

The hotel has a lovely location, with view over small farms and houses to the hills beyond. It is a motel style hotel, semidetached chalet style rooms & suites. Our suite was clean & had lounge, balcony (to watch the sunset), bedroom with a large kingsize bed, tea area & ensuite shower room. 
Our stay was very pleasant, sad it was only for one night. 
Breakfast was included (the baguettes were excellent) & the hotel has an evening restaurant, where we enjoyed three Lao dishes, steamed rice and BeerLao.
Lovely staff, pleased to help with any request.

No frills but comfortable and clean

Lovely place to stay.

A great short stay. Friendly, helpful staff. A very pleasant experience.

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.

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.

Excellent Hotel

Great setting atop a hill with 360 degrees view of the beautiful countryside. Within 15 to 20 min walk from town, so location was pretty good too. Roomy n clean rooms. Bonus was the great diversity of moths attracted by the bright lamps. They conveniently landed on the walls n ceilings of the corridor just outside our room #45. We spent much time photographing the many colourful species tt visited. Particularly attractive were the rarer Hawk Moths.

Great views n moth diversity

Attractively situated but far from town. Although not much in Phonsavan anyway so no big loss. Rooms comfortable but cold as no heating & the town is cold at night. Dining room especially cold despite a huge (empty) fire place. I shivered my way through dinner, ate quickly & left. Bathroom disappointing. Shower fittings didn't work & water pressure low. Bath looked pristine but firstly the tap failed to pour into the tub (went to the side & dribbled into the tub), then there was insufficient hot water to fill the tub, then what was in there was draining away as the plug wouldn't seal. So all in all not fit for purpose. Service: as always people helpful but English a bit weak so sometimes hard to make yourself understood. Positives: rooms large, contain all expected features of a hotel in this price range, including loose tea, a spacious balcony with lovely views. Rooms are clean & in good condition if a little dated. Nice touch of fresh foliage in vases. All in all didn't regret my choice.

Good hotel, disappointing bathroom & cold at night

This is a pleasant if slightly dated hotel with friendly staff and a good location on a hilltop just behind the town. Our only major surprise was that the hotel did not have air-conditioning (in rooms or public spaces) - fortunately for us our stay was in cool season (November to February) and the hilltop location allowed for good natural ventilation, so we were OK (just) without any air-conditioning. A visit in the summer would however have been a very different matter.Right after check in I did go to the Hotels.com listing to see if air-con was mentioned (it was not - so there was no mis-representation) - I had just assumed (incorrectly) that a hotel in this price range in the tropics would have air-conditioning. I do however really believe that the listing should have specifically mentioned this fact.
