good location!! walking distance to river side and night market. i stayed in single room, room is quite small. but enough for one person. staff are friendly and helpful when i asked them question. Wifi is fast and no need password even they said need password. i dont like the breakfast, not much choice and taste not really well. Overall this hotel is good!!

My first time in Lao. Bit of a hassle getting there what with the visa and the number of transport legs I had to take getting there. So the warm welcome I received at Family Hotel made the journey worth it. Can't fault the hotel in every way but I must warn people getting a taxi from Friendship Bridge to Vientiane. They are thieving robbing crooks. Advertised fare is 300 Baht (the only good thing is they take Thai currency so no need to change money) Five minutes into the journey the driver tells me it is now 600 Baht to centre. I said "no you said 300" He said no 300 and get out now or 600 to centre. I stuck to my guns. He got really aggressive shouting at me to get out but I didn't. Ok I'm brave or stupid however you look at it but I'm concerned other people will be ripped off or kicked out in the middle of nowhere. Get a bus - they are frequent and stupidly cheap - I learnt later. Back to the hotel - comfortable, central, lovely decor, good breakfast and very helpful staff.

i was really happy i booked one of the better rooms with windows. i can' imagine myself in one of the windowless rooms that represent the majority of the accommodation offered to travelers at this hotel. but that said, my room was great. it even had a fish pond on the balcony. there was no view of the mekong, just other houses, a sport field etc. and the balcony fits only one person at a time... this hotel is sort of a "cheap boutique hotel". was not as nice as the pictures on the agoda web page. if you want a quiet location, its ok, excellent breakfast.
Hotel Feature Tip: In Laos a two-price system rules for tourists. A break for this are the meter taxis parked on the lot beside the hotel. These are a lot cheaper than tuktuks (although one may be successful in haggling) , and these drivers are quite friendly. With a few exceptions, most sights and shopping is in walking distance.

Great staff, allowed my girlfriend and I to hang around the lobby when we got back from Luang Prabang so as to catch our flight back home from Vientiane. The staff remembered that we stay in the hotel before heading to Luang Prabang and let us stay in the hotel lobby without hesitation, despite not checking into their room.

The hotel was clean. The staff were helpful & courteous. The service was good. The central location worked well for us. We chose a smaller room accommodation, which worked well for us. Free wifi & breakfasts in their restaurant on the lower level. Pleasant experience.
Travel tip: Withing walking distance of many sites & shops...

We stayed at the Family Hotel while searching for a house in Vientiane. The staff was incredibly polite and efficient, everyone always smiled at us, even the maids. We had laptops with us and never worried that they would be touched. The bathroom was huge and once we understood that more pressure in the shower also increased the temperature the shower was great. Comfortable bed with very clean white sheets. Maids would have cleaned every day but luckily we were working online in the rooms so we could save our towels and sheets for a few days. Wifi generally good. Breakfast was included but there are so many good places to eat in the morning that we usually went out. Only drawback was the steep stairs up to the hotel.
Restaurant Tip: In the Lao Plaza hotel right up the street is a very good, quiet Japanese restaurant in the basement of the hotel. Don't let that put you off - the food was delicious and the coolness was lovely after the heat of Vientiane.

single room very tiny but clean. was fine for me for a couple nights. the hotel is in a good location. the only problem i had was there's no window in the room looking outside. the room was advertised as a "city view" room but actually just had a window facing into the hallway. i know that technically the hallway is in the city, but come on!! :) it's a bit of deceptive advertising and i would suggest that the management be clear about this. if you want some light in your room then i suggest you make sure you are booking one with an actual outside view. very good breakfast for me and good vietnamese food in the basement restaurant.

The room was pleasant and the whole hotel was exceptionally clean. The location is a bit away from the main clump of guesthouses, but still central. Wifi was included but quite temperamental in the room itself. It was a 5 minute walk to the museum and under 10 to get to the main area. It is less than 10 minutes to walk to Lao Kitchen for excellent Laotian food.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: If you love textiles, visit the private museum where you can see, in a traditional Lao house, weaving,dying, and also view the collection so wearable art that is for sale. The tuk tuk ride takes about 10 minutes and you go through a part of town filled with the life of the people of the city, not tourists .

Disappointing

Comfortable bed
4.3
Had booked 3 rooms for 2 nights months before stay. Arrived to be told full and one person would have to be moved to another hotel for one night. 2 of the rooms were dirty. Basin not clean, dirty towels and bath mat. We called in cleaner to one room but they just wiped around, not properly clean. On way out we told one of desk staff who said he would go and sort out. When came back hours later he said he had not had time. Breakfast very limited and some items not available. On day we left we arrived back an hour before checkout, our room was being cleaned. We showered and used towels, etc. guess the next guests were showed in with it in that state. Poor customer service and admin.
Hotel Feature Tip: I wouldn't stay here.
