        The problems with this hotel were 1. really poor AC during the hot day, would spit out ice if you turned it too high, 2. shower took a very long time to get warm (never hot) but maybe it was because I was on the third floor, 3. way too bright at day, if you need to rest or nap, 4. very basic internet, don't expect to do anything other than send emails. Having said all that, I still think the place was a good option. I didn't see any bedbugs, which is on almost all the reviews for hotels near this price. It did have wifi, even if it was slow. The beds were really pretty comfortable, after the sun went down, it cooled a bit. The staff was pretty accommodating. The location was perfect. The breakfast omelet was better than most hotel buffet breakfasts. Cable tv with english channels. Large balcony on the 3rd floor.

        Location, price and location

        The Vongkhamsene Hotel is budget hotel with not many extras. If you are happy for a simple room to stay and a reasonable price then this hotel will suite you fine. Thee is not that much to see in Vientiane so most people would only stay a short time before travelling to other areas of Laos. Overall the hotel is ok for a short stay and there a many nice small local restaurants nearby.

        Location

        Good Location to river front and places that serve good coffee Short walk to everything, I did eat close to hotel one day looked like thai food was ok. As you walk up several streets from your location, where are more hostels and back packers hang out things are cheaper for food and drink, European tavern that serve different beers as you walk street towards river take a left and keep walking for money exchanges, street that follows the river and also has the night markets. Tried several tour agents for travel, wanted me to rent whole van at $ 137 USA, since they do not sell tickets and collect people for travel. Maybe try arrange travel before or travel in a group. Hotel has no breakfast and just a good location and laid back staff, would stay again for the price. If coming by Bus be ready to be attacked my tuk tuk drivers and have phone number of hotel. They take baht, US and Lao money and I used Lao money during trip, not like Cambodia.

        Location, friendly staff and room size

        This was a return visit for me to the Vongkhamsene Hotel so I knew what to expect and I was not dissapointed even though it is a basic 2 star hotel. My room with twin beds was clean and a reasonable size. It had a large bathroom with a shower that could fit 3 or 4 people. It is a basic hoitel but if you are not expecting bells and whistles then it will suite you for a short stay. The only problem I found on this visit was the contruction work happening in the building next to the hotel which started at 6am and went til about 6pm at nite, most disturbing to your morning sleep however once that construction is finished it will be fine. The cost per nite this trip was more expensive than my last visit as it was high season. I will stay here again in the future if the price is right as the location is good and the staff friendly.

        Good location..but....

        1st visit to Laos/Vientianne....stayed 4 days but 2 days raining thus was not able to venture out to the nature attractions. Town center nothing to shout about, hotel was located right in the heart of town, but then again town is so small that its ok to actually stay in any hotels in town, more importantly is to pick a good & clean place to stay. Vongkhamsene looks better on pictures, actual exterior of hotel is great, however i got a shock upon arrival when was told any booking made for standard room is actually ONLY on grd floor! No good no good, room was dark at the end of the lobby, pull the curtain aside and you look out the window to a retaining wall thats smack in yor face and dark. Mosquitos in room, plenty of channels on cable but all blurry and most channels in Laos and lack of english channels. Will pick anotehr hotel if im back in Laos again

        hotel was in a great location near the market and shops/restaurants. it's in a quieter street but still very close to the action.rooms were nothing special but clean and comfortable. bathrooms are pretty typical for asia! staff are not particuarly helpful. be careful, airport taxi dumped us outside a different hotel. the transfer that the hotel offers to the airport is more expensive than organising your own on the street.

        uneventful stay”

        clean room, centerally located, close to Jamba Cafe

        The stay was fine. The staff are not the friendliest (at least from our experience), the room was big enough, but was full of mosquitoes. The breakfast was a nice add on for a hotel that doesn't really have too much going on in the first place. It was a nice enough stay and decently priced as well.

        PLeasant stay”

        Conveniently located, this small hotel offers a pleasant stay. The only problem with the equipment is the fridge which is turned off every time you leave the room and take the key. In other words, the fridge is never cold.

        Nice looking hotel; poor service”

        Clean spacious rooms; WiFi; good TV channels

        Good location to central Vientiane - if you choose to waste your time here. Clean rooms, air con, nice showers etc. Staff were rude, always on the Internet and eating away from the desk- and acted like it was a chore to help. Vientiane itself was a waste of time on our trip- the 'city' itself lacks in all areas and tourist attractions were poorly maintained. The saving grace was the fantastic Bhudda park.

        Great location and service.”

        Rooms and breakfast are basic, but everything you need. Very clean and a good price.

        The river and many restaurants are a few minutes walk away from the hotel. There are always tuk-tuks available if you need to go further. Three minutes walk down the road is the best Indian food at Fatima's Restaurant. Walk down the street towards the river, turn left at the corner and you'll find Fatima's.
