Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Book directly with the hotel to get free breakfast. The Premier Room costs only slightly more than the Deluxe and gives you 24 extra square metres. Reserve early for December through February, the cool and dry peak season. Trains on the Laos–China Railway link Vang Vieng with Vientiane and Luang Prabang in about an hour each. Tuk-tuks wait at the station to take you to the riverfront.
The hotel is low-rise, but some areas have steps, so travelers with limited mobility should ask for a ground-level room. Town streets are flat but often lack pavements. Within a short walk you can reach the riverside bars and the toll footbridges over the Nam Song. Tham Jang cave, with its stairway viewpoint, is about 2 km south.
