The best thing about Elephant Crossing is its location. Situated right on the river with a decking verandah overlooking the river and the mountains. Having breakfast or a drink there is an experience in itself. The rooms are quite spacious, the facilities good - our room (on the ground floor) had a small verandah unfortunately overlooking the car park. The... More

We stayed here our first night in Vang Vieng. We walked in and they only had one room left so definitely book in advance if you do want to stay here. The room was beautiful, although the plug in the bath broke the second I touched it. Great balcony looking over the river. The bar/restaurant is in an amazing location... More

This could be made into a wonderful hotel but it is in need of renovation as the rooms are scruffy. The shower was good, comfortable bed and air conditioning but you get 2 bent coat hangers on a hook and no stowage space for your suitcase. The decking overlooking the river was a good spot for a group meal and... More

There were two chairs and a small table on our balcony. Wifi worked well in the lobby. You... More

We originally went to a more highly rated hotel and cancelled our booking immediately after a quick walk around. I've never done that before but we were so disappointed. The Elephant Crossing hotel was what we were expecting in Vang Vieng and we loved it. The views are the best. We went to some more expensive ones and they just... More

Great service and very hospitable wait staff. The dinner tables are situated on the outside balcony overlooking the river which is really nice. I would highly recommend it for a romantic dinner with your significant other.
