The rooms at the Wangview are basic: clean with bathroom and hot water, The staff are accommodating as best they can be with limited English. Included breakfast is meager with limited options. The restaurant is not well-staffed, and has young staff that don't speak languages other than Lao or Thai. It could be cleaner, but the menu offers decent food at dinner -- unless an event has taken it over which means you have to head into town. A short walk, however, leads you to tasty local cuisine along the river!  The fitness center on site is available, but requires a small fee which is not explained up front. That said, the 10000 kip is a modest expense and worth it. Expect to pay cash. Staff do their best to help, You might find other venues that are a bit more pleasant, but otherwise the rooms are fine .

Basic hotel with limited amenities in Houayxay

Don't stay here. We had three nights, and first impressions were a beautiful view from the hotel located above the main road to provide a quiet location. On all three nights there were very loud parties in the Karaoke bar, the bass was so loud it rattled our windows. Then you get the noise of the departing party goers. We booked a double but they could only offer us 2 single beds on the first night. In both rooms the shower hardly produced any water. We were unable to use the restaurant due to a party booking, but reading other reviews that was a lucky escape. It is about 30 min walk on the edge of the main road to get to the start of town. In the evenings they can't seem to get a tuk tuk to come to the hotel. We spent the next couple of days feeling like zombies. We asked for a discount, but the receptionist said that if he gave us one it would come out of his wages. The owner is not interested in the comfort of his hotel guests, and penalises his staff for his crazy idea of combining loud music with a place for people to sleep.

If you want to sleep and eat, don't stay here it's ridiculous combination of very loud Karaoke bar and a hotel.

I try to only do positive reviews as it is hard to know if a place is going through growing pains or having other issues. This place just sucks. It could be good. The rooms are clean and the grounds are decent and it is nicely located looking out over the Mekong. But that is just the start. 

What kind of establishment that bills itself as a hotel works so hard to keep its guests wide awake with thumping karaoke music?  Yup. You heard me right. As I write this I know that I will be vibrating in my bed for several hours as the on site bar thumps out the tunes. Yes, I could go down and complain but no one on staff speaks any English and the attitude is "so what"?  This morning we went for breakfast at 9. We were admonished and told we had to eat right away. We showed the breakfast chit that clearly showed the breakfast as lasting until 10. Shrug. And we had to rush to drink instant "coffee". 

This place needs to go under now. The management doesn't know the first thing about running a "hotel". Maybe s/he should just run the bar so we can get some sleep elsewhere.
