Description
Another high-end offering right by the river, and along with the nearby Vansana Hotel, one of the largest. A four-storey block, the Elephant Crossing towers over its riverside neighbours, the Thavonsouk and Xayoh Bungalows. This provides superior views of Nam Song and the limestone range beyond from the room balconies. Built in 2005, it is however an example of the seemingly unregulated development of hostelries on the left bank of the Nam Song somewhat unsympathetically to their surroundings, though not worst of offenders. A lawn and ornamental plants are set out in front of the hotel, but the only immediate shade is provided in the mornings by the looming hotel buildings. In one corner of the lawn is a 3m diameter elevated circular mini swimming pool. Rooms are well decked out with Lao cotton drapes silk bed covers. The TV is cunningly situated within sight of the bath-tub. An outstanding location, but a more satisfying experience at better value can be had at other riverfront options.

Guest feedback
Very nice, but overpriced - 
By Emanef ( total comments: 7 
) Stayed here 1/2007
We stayed here for three nights in a deluxe room. A good size room, well designed and a decent bathroom.
The staff were all really friendly and helpful, and it had a really nice relaxed vibe to it all.
Unfortunately, it's expensive for what it is, but if you're happy to pay more, it's well worth considering.

Staff are very helpful at Thavonsouk, and they speak both English and French. The grounds are tucked away down by the river, between the Villa Nam Song and the Elephant Crossing, and is a much more attractive and unassuming option than either of its neighbours.

Vansana Vang Vieng Hotel
Riverside, Ban Sisavang, Vang Vieng
In terms of facilities, Vansana can tick more boxes on the checklist than any other hotel in Vang Vieng. The centre-piece is the swimming pool. In a shady, airy spot adjacent to the pool is a gym with all the requisite machines. Add to this the Conference Room and Business Centre in the main... more
