Comfortable and good location
Location, large rooms, helpful staff.
6.7
The room is large and the location is excellent, close to the activities in the main tourist area of Vientiane. Not expensive. However the air con in my room was not working properly. Building and fixtures are old, but clean. The garden area is nice and quiet. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Nice place
big spacious room, fast internet, nice garden
6.3
I had a strange experience because I was alone and some called me over and over on my hotel phone and hung up. I got quite scared. The hotel is very close to the downtown so I didn't feel very safe. I'm sure it's safe, but because I was alone I got very worried. When I informed the hotel staff, they told me to unplug my phone....which didn't make me feel any better. But other than that, I stayed for 3 nights in a HUGE room for a night. It was nice. Comfortable. Breakfast included. I liked it.

Good hotel in central location
Great location and peaceful courtyard
8.3
Nice room overlooking courtyard with fish pond. Room had cable TV, fridge, water, a couple of lamps (great for reading), aircon, big windows overlooking courtyard. Bathroom had a bathtub! Shower hose was a little short though and I'm only 150cms tall.
Helpful staff that were happy to point me in the right direction.
Free computer with internet in the foyer is an added bonus, although the connection was not always reliable.
Breakfast pretty good.
I would stay here again.

Very convinient to travel around... A lot of eateries everywhere... Hotel is good too... Will come back here again... Another plus point is the breakfast... Has few selections (ala carte but good proportion)...

Great location
Better breakfast then most hotel of this price range.

The hotel has a certain nostalgic air from the courtyard but is looking old. Stay the first night at the top floor, room was large but characterless. Moved to the third floor with balcony for the next 2 nights - more cheerful looking. The shower head was terrible. Slow tiny flow of water.
The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to most of the attractions.
Restaurant Tip:
Exit the hotel turn right and walk down the street for some of the best pho noodle in the entire city: Pho Dung is the shop name.

This hotel has the cheapest room with a bathtub in the city. The room had carpeting so there was a smell. The price was really low, but I found the room to be a little sad. It was a huge room.

I didn't like this hotel very much. I arrived late from the day bus from Phonsavan and when I arrived I could not get access to wifi because the passwords were already locked away. Wifi is not free whereas at many other hotels it is. American breakfast (included in room price) was not great: heated up suasage, 1 slice of bacon/ham?, some fruit and coffee/tea. Garden area seems nice but that morning there was no one there but full of mosquitos. Room was big but had old carpet. Bathroom had bath and nice hot shower.
Travel tip:
Rent a bicycle: a really nice (and environmentally friendly) way to get around town. Traffic is pretty easy to handle and everything (all the sights) is nearby so only a short ride

Hotel Lao
Location, large bottles of free water, free breakfast, reasonable price.
7
The Hotel Lao is in a central location of Vientiane close to shops and restaurants. It is now one of the cheapest hotels in Vientiane and is good value with free breakfast and it doesn't have those small free bottles of water - here you get the large ones so you aren't dying of thirst. The standard rooms are quite basic but comfortable. The restaurant has a nice setting with a fish pond.
