Pros:

Everything was fine. It was clean, for most part well maintained. Staff was friendly and efficient. Excellent location. We got a bigger room with an extra bed compared to what we expected.

Cons:

Finding the rooms was a bit more complicated then necessary as rooms 607 & 608 are not with 601-606 but on the other side of 300s and 400s in a different building. The bathroom door opens up unless locked on a latch. The handle of the door had a part missing with a tiny part of nail sticking out.

Nice city get away 15mins walk to night market
Pros:

We just stayed one night, and it was raining, but I can imagine that this is a super nice city getaway!

Cons:

Selling the Bustickets quietly expensive.
We booked a bus to Konglor for 500.000 per person for 2 persons.
The taxi didn’t arrive at 8am and we had to remind the receptionist again at 8:30. He made a call and it arrived.
Drove 20mins to the bus station, where he bought our tickets for 280.000 each.
That’s a huge margin.

お得です。
Pros:

フロントの方は英語が通じます。カード決済もできありがたかったです。朝食は7時からちょっとしたビュッフェを無料で利用でき、卵料理（オムレツやスクランブルエッグなど）とパンケーキから1人1品を頼めます。近くにコインランドリー（洗濯36分、乾燥40分）もあり、とても便利でした。プールの水も緩かったため、次来たときは入りたいと思います。

Very disappointed
Pros:

The pool was the only thing we enjoyed

Cons:

We're given the wrong room on the first day, they changed us on the second day. Both rooms had no working TV, no mini bar, and no telephone. As per the booking. The breakfast was less than basic. Would not recommend this hotel

If you love your wife, do not take her here
Pros:

The bed was comfy

Cons:

The 1st room we were given smelled rancid & the AC was dripping crating a puddle in the room. We had to switch rooms, thankfully the staff allowed us to switch. There was ants everywhere in the new room. The shower did not drain properly and had a lot of dirt in the shower. I never wanted to go to the bathroom because of the smell. We weren’t able to use the pool because they drained it. The breakfast was decent but there was 1 morning where the bread had mold ….. We asked to have our room cleaned, especially the shower and they never cleaned it. The WiFi was terribly slow.

Wegblijven. Kamers vies, onveilig door gasten onder invloed van drugs.
Pros:

Niets, we zijn gelijk weggegaan. Dit is een onveilige plek om te verblijven. Het lijkt een soort drugs hotel te zijn. Daarnaast zijn de kamers ook vies en nauwelijks onderhouden

Cons:

Alles, we zijn gelijk weggegaan. Naast dat de kamers erg vies zijn en er veel schimmel zit, is de plek niet veilig. Er lopen hele vreemde mensen rond die onder invloed van drugs lijken te zijn. Absoluut niet een plek om te verblijven. We zijn dan ook gelijk weggegaan. Het hotel had geen alternatief en heeft ook nog eens onze kamers in rekening gebracht.

Erg gedateerd en niets van waar de naam van het hotel naar verwijst
Cons:

Het is wat je gewend bent en met welke maten je meet. Toch denk ik dat er betere hotels zijn binnen deze klasse. De foto’s op Booking kloppen maar zijn veel mooier dan de werkelijkheid. Dat is natuurlijk altijd wel zo maar nu wel extreem.

Het hotel is echt gedateerd het heeft niet zoveel met een ‘boutique’ of ‘villa’ te maken en om in je naam te verwijzen naar ‘garden’ is ook wel een beetje teveel van het goede.

Door de binnentuin is het best gehorig, deuren van kamers sluiten moeilijk of te makkelijk maar nooit zoals het hoort. Kieren niet alleen langs de deuren wat kan door vocht en warmte maar ook in de deurpanelen zelf .

De kamers zijn echt gedateerd niet vies maar door de ouderdom gewoon niet fris.

Het ontbijt is minimalistisch. Prima om iets te eten maar heb er geen hoge verwachting over. Hiervoor zijn er leuke alternatieve in de stad bijvoorbeeld ‘La Terrass Bakery Cafe’

Het personeel is minder vriendelijk dan de rest van Laos. Als je ‘s avonds weer aankomt bij het hotel moet je wel eerst door een sigaretten walm en zelf de moeite nemen om even gedag te
