The staff were super helpful and provided us with excellent service and facilities. They were happy to help book tours, taxis and serve tasty food and drinks. The pool was lovely, and the rooms were clean and tidy and they had excellent comfy soft beds! A great location only a few minutes walk to food, bars and the river. We were on the 4th floor, and although it was a hike up the stairs, the view of the mountains was beautiful.

Tv didn't seem to work, but we don't watch it anyway so I wasn't bothered by it .i forgot to mention the tv to the staff. I'm sure they would have fixed it as they asked multiple times if there was any way they could make our stay better and wanted feedback.

Faraway Suites is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible places I’ve ever stayed. From the moment you step into this tranquil oasis, you’re greeted with the warmest smiles from the staff, who go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The rooms are perfection – spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with everything you need for a luxurious yet cozy stay. My room had a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains from the private balcony, making every sunrise feel magical. The beds? Oh, pure heaven! With plush mattresses and high-quality linens, I slept better here than I have in months. The outdoor pool is a slice of paradise, complete with a gentle waterfall and jacuzzi. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Vang Vieng’s stunning landscapes. The poolside bar serves refreshing drinks, and the garden area, with its sunbeds and hammocks, invites you to relax in the serenity of nature. What sets Faraway Suites apart is the attention to detail and the thoughtful touches. The location is ideal – tucked away in a quiet street but just a short walk to the village center. You get the best of both worlds: peaceful tranquility and easy access to local attractions. Every aspect of this hotel screams value for money. For the price, you’re getting a slice of luxury that feels like it should cost twice as much. I genuinely didn’t want to leave, and I’m already planning my return! If you’re considering a trip to Vang Vieng, stop looking – Faraway Suites is the only place you’ll want to stay. I promise it will be the highlight of your trip!

I would have liked to stay longer

Faraway suites are located conveniently within walking distance of Riverside bars and restaurants and the main road, everything is closeby I stayed on the 4th floor in a big room with a balcony overlooking the mountains, irs great value for the money, with the same view as some of the other boutique hotels in VV but at a much cheaper price. The staff was also very helpful as well especially Mr Phon who helped answer quite a few of my questions throughout the stay. Would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable stay with a nice view and central location.

I had a fantastic stay in the fifth floor loft with its amazing view and the very spacious room. Phong from the reception was my organization hero, helping me instantly with an urgent courier delivery (of a key from my previous guesthouse in Luang Prabang that I accidentally had still in my pocket), a good scooter and laundry service. I would book this room with it's impecable view (morning, midday and sundowner especially) any time again if was around.

The only for me rather minor detail I didn't like so much was that the terrace table outside hadn't been wiped for quite a long time, so I did that myself. But inside the Appartment everything was just fine.

Very good location on quiet street but close to riverside and Main Street eating and drinking options. Staff were very helpful in arranging a memorable kayaking and zip lining trip. We enjoyed the pool table, the swimming pool, and the roof terrace with magnificent sunset views. Finally Mr Setap a very friendly guide/driver who lives directly opposite took us on several visits to Blue Lagoons, viewpoints and to the train station.

Would prefer the rooms to be cleaned daily but perhaps we should have asked for this instead of expecting it.

Still in town and walking distance to everything our double room with mountain view was spacious and comfortable. It included a good shower, air conditioning, electric fan, fridge, wooden form suitable for keeping luggage off the floor, 2 chairs that could be moved to the small balcony if required, electric jug & daily water and coffee. The staff are friendly and helpful. Downstairs has a restaurant bar, pool tables , relaxing area & a 7.5M pool. Very comfortable, easy to get around and value for money. Find English menus and western food at: The Happy Mango, Bamboo Bistro Garden and The Academy (tourist training school).

It was in a great spot. The staff were very friendly and helpful. they offered help with excursions aswell. there is no lift but the staff helped with our luggage and offered for us to be on a different floor. the room was spacious and had a nice outside communal seating area, aswell as a small balcony to dry clothes. The view was beautiful! a real highlight. Mountain View and you could see the hot air balloons. we are at the restaurant once and the food was lovely. It was a bit pricier than other places nearby so we only ate there once. the pool area was nice and peaceful and a nice place to relax and have a drink.

could do with better toiletries. the soap dispenser was in the shower and didn’t work too well but not a big deal when you have your own.

We had a mountain view room with dual aspect windows. The view was fantastic. Room is very spacious, a little basic and shabby around the edges but comfortable. Lots of surfaces to put your bags. The hotel has a bit of a hostel feel to it. We didn't have any problems. Location is perfect. Short walk to the river but on a quiet street.

Pool area isn't really a relaxing kind of place. Only 3 beds and a little messy. We didn't use it.

We had a lovely stay at Faraway Suites. On checking in we were told we had been upgraded to a room on the top (5th floor). The room was a very generous size and had an outdoor area with a fantastic view where we enjoyed sitting and watching the sunset (the best I have ever seen). The staff were friendly and helpful and organised a tubing trip and a bus to Vientiane for us. The bar downstairs sold really nice coffee too.

The room was quite noisy with music playing from surrounding bars late at night and cockerels early in the morning.

The property was very comfortable and clean. In a great location in walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Staff were helpful and organised a motorbike and our train tickets to Luang Prabang. The pool was clean and good to cool down in the day.

The wifi didn’t really work and the sun loungers/ garden area could use some love.
