Typical budget hotel for backpackers
Great location, helpfull staf
4.7
We made the reservation for the room with the bathroom, but it was not available. The receptionist was sorry but we were tired and we decided to take the room with shared bathroom. The room was big, but not really clean. The bathroom also. We had the opportunity to take the shower after check out. In the hotel you can also buy tickets for the bus / however the price is higher than in the city/ . Great view from the balkony. Possibility to eat great food opposite the street.

Great and pleasant stay for the second time.
Location, Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and free wifi
9.7
It was the second time I went there and it was a pleasant stay one more time. I went there with my 4 months old son and the first room was on the second floor. It was not convenient so the day after, they gave us another room on the first floor. They also offered their water heater at the reception desk as we needed some for the baby and we had none in the room. The last night I stayed there, my son was sick so without hesitation, they jumped with us in a Tuk-Tuk and translated for us at the hospital what is a way over expectation when you reserve a hotel room. The staff are very human and it deserves to be said. Their customer service is a way better than many 5 stars hotels I have seen before. Everytime I go to Laos, I choose this hotel without hesitation. Please, do the same :)

The Saysouly hotel is very centrally situated, minutes walk from the river and Namphu fountain. That's the only good thing about it.
The rooms have that all too familiar appearance of decay and neglect that is found at almost all budget accommodations in Vientiane. I paid for an ensuite room but was put in a room with no bathroom on first arriving as the owner had overbooked but he did move me the following day to an ensuite room.
All the usual tell tale signs of neglect are there. No domestic household cleaners are used to clean the rooms. The dirt just piles up, nothing is ever repaired when broken. Like many budget hotels and guesthouses it is slovenly. I had to ask to have the room cleaned which was done with a lot of reluctance. All it amounted to was a shake of the duvet and they emptied a waste bin, took all of two minutes. The shower was scary, there were loose wires externally exposed, not really a safe setup where there is flowing water.
They do do rooms for about $7 a night though which is reasonable value if you're short of money. I was paying about $17 a night which represented poor value for what I got. No complimentary water, no toilet role and only one towel.
Wouldn't stay there again but it's a conundrum to find a decent place in central Vientiane for around $20. In this price range all the accommodation is consistently bad. The hotel is situated down a quiet street that leads down to the river which is a plus as it is away from the traffic.
The Internet is poor, it doesn't work in the rooms and is intermittent in the lobby.

Terrible guesthouse with one upside
3
So, firstly about upside. It's good location of this guesthouse - just 200 m to Fountaine pavilion and approximately 400 - to Wat Sisaket and Wat Ho Pra Kheo. But really it was very dirty uncomfortable rooms without any signs of cleaning before you've stayed there. And unfriendly staff. And no wifi - for me this cons was one of the most serious. I'm sure, when the information about hotel didn't correlate with actual situation - it's unfair and cheatiang of guests!

Central location, big room, nice bed.

Our stay was ok. Good location and big rooms. The staff are not very helpfull as they just spent their time in the sofa watching tv. Alright value for the money. The hotel is one of the cheaper places to stay in Vientiane.
