Muong Thanh Luxury Vientiane

"This is the best hotel in Vientiane for this price. Top reasons I picked this hotel was the pool, the fact it is a new hotel, price and location. Also their shuttle service is much cheaper than the local taxis, next time I will call ahead for airport pick up. They also offer free bikes to ride around the city which is another bonus considering taxis are 1000% more expensive than Vietnam (NO JOKE). I really enjoyed my stay here, pool and the gym was what I liked the most. Thank you!"Show more

Tera Hotel Vientiane

"I stayed here with my girlfriend for one night and I am amazed by the service. The breakfast ends at 10:30 but because I had to do stuff for my visa I arrived late and the hotel staff still offered to serve me breakfast. The gym and pool is nice and the rooms are very modern and clean. I highly recommend this hotel and the next time I stay in Vientiane I will be coming back. 5 stars."Show more

Sabaidee@Lao Hotel Vientiane

"We stayed 3 nights from 10 Aug 13. We arrived at 10pm local time after some 20 hours travel – the staff were efficient and had us in our room in no time at all. The hotel is a short drive from the city centre, however the hotel offer a free shuttle. Although the hotel is one of the more expensive hotels in Vientiane it is well worth the price. We had a ground level pool view room (room D02) at the rear of the property. The room was more than adequate and had its own patio. What was unusual, and took a bit of getting used to, was the full glass window in the bathroom looking out to its own private garden. The staff are very friendly, helpful, well trained and have good English. The breakfast provides a great variety and the evening meals were excellent. The bar offers a “happy hour” which goes for two hours which is most welcome after a long day of touring. What a way to start our holiday would recommend the hotel. Rating 10 out of 10."Show more

"I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and was very satisfied with the location and room standards. I have stayed in other hotels in Vientiane which did not match up to the quality of this hotel. The location was perfect - very central so everything was in walking distance. Also very close to some lovely restaurants and bars. The room was very large and clean. I would definatley stay here again if I were to go back to Vientiane."Show more

Landmark Mekong Riverside Hotel

"We had no problem whatsoever staying three nights in Landmark Mekong Riverside Hotel. Complementary breakfast was very good with many choices to choose from. Huge rooms with luxurious bathrooms, I loved the garden and the huge pool area!The staff was very helpful, when I asked the front desk to book two more rooms for my relatives after we stayed there for a night, she insisted that I book online to get the same rate as my first booking, because it would've costed me three times more to book at the front desk. The price for king bed with river view was over $300, at the front desk, but less than $100, online on the same day. How insightful is that?! Book one hour ahead for hotel's free shuttle to city center. Many dignitaries stay here as well. I would recommend this hotel resort, if you are looking for comfortable, clean, and pleasant place to stay in Vientiane."Show more

Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel

"Sengtawan Riverside Hotel was a nice place to stay and I highly recommend it. It was very clean and there was a TV, minibar, wifi, and AC in the room. The room and bathroom were large and toiletries were provided. The lobby was also very spacious and the staff was attentive. I was picked up from the airport (complimentary) and they also offered to drop me off at the bus station after my stay (but I had already booked pick up through a travel agent). They have a spa in the basement where I received a lovely massage. They also have a restaurant on the top floor with great views of the Mekong and free breakfast. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to town. Cons: The room was dark and there was a slight mildew smell. Breakfast was not very good and it was supposed to end at 10:30am but they shut it down at 10am the morning I went. They had computers in the lobby but they never connected to the internet (I tried three times). The laundry service was very expensive (40,000 kip per kilo). http://growninsouthernground.wordpress.com/2012/06/03/sengtawan-riverside-hotel-in-vientiane-laos/"Show more

Salana Boutique Hotel

"I was totally delighted with this hotel, the Salana Boutique Hotel in Vientiane, Laos. The staff at the Salana are very polite, professional, and frankly quite charming. They are helpful, informative and go the extra mile to answer your questions and ensure you enjoy your stay and see the city while you are there. I was very pleased with the driver that the hotel arranged for me, as I took a half-day city tour, plus went out to the Buddha Park in the afternoon. The hotel staff can speak English in most cases, and certainly the front desk staff with whom you transact business are English-fluent. Booking through Agoda and check-in / check-out went very smoothly. My guest room, while not large, was of adequate size. The room was well-appointed and had everything I needed. The bathroom was clean, modern, and the fixtures were in good shape. There was plenty of hot water for showers. The air conditioning worked well. The bed was comfortable and clean. I used the laundry service twice and was totally satisfied. I also had the Lao massage at the hotel's spa, and was very pleased with that service. My favorite aspect of this hotel is the breakfast buffet. I loved it. The selections were very good, the food was of high quality, and I liked the fact that you could also order a la carte items off the menu along with your buffet breakfast, and those were included with the breakfast. The fresh fruits, juices, breads, cereals, crepes and other hot items were all good. The large corner window view of the street activity outside the hotel is a nice way to begin your day in Vientiane. I also ate in the hotel restaurant for dinner just one evening, and it was a good meal. The Salana is a very attractive hotel. The housekeeping staff do a great job, and the hotel is nicely decorated and maintained. I highly recommend the Salana Boutique Hotel for your stay in Vientiane, the capital city of the Lao People's Democratic Republic."Show more

Dhavara Boutique Hotel

"Stayed 5 nights and LOVED it... Highly recommend it... Can walk to the night market, and many, many very nice restaurants... The BEST coffee shops that I have been at - Siouk Coffee (opposite the night market) is incredibly GOOD, amazing peppermint latte... the hotel room is large, the bed is comfortable (on the hard side, but not too hard), the A/C is fantastic, the WiFi was superb - had several SKYPE video calls and was good quality... The breakfast is real good - the VietNamese Pho soup is very good, while the omelets need work/improvement... The french bread (in Vientiane, in general) and croissants - were among the best I have EVER had... the cheese selection at breakfast was REAL GOOD... good fresh fruit and yoghurt... The price is higher than many want to spend on a trip to Vientiane, but in my opinion, it was WELL worth the cost of admission... If/when I go to Vientiane again, I will DEFINITELY stay at the Dharvara... Also, free transport to and from the airport... In general, Vientiane was MUCH MUCH better than I imagined... Had one of the best burgers I have EVER eaten at Sputnik Burger, which is a short walk away... And the Belgium Beer pub, ChokDee, had real good beers (I am not a beer snob, but the Belgium beer on tap was real good and not very expensive) and the pomme frittes (french fries) were excellent... And the Coffee Shops and the pastries in Vientiane - VERY VERY HIGH QUALITY... Ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhh!!!!"Show more

Don Chan Palace Hotel & Convention

"I stayed at the Don Chan Palace Hotel & Convention for one day during my layover in Vientiane and I wish it was longer. The staff was nice and greeted me well as I entered the hotel and took me and my luggage to my room with no problem, even though the hotel was huge. I enjoyed a spacious and luxurious (for Laos standards) hotel at a nice price with air conditioning and wifi coming to me in my room with no problem. The hotel is situated at a nice location in Vietiane, walking distance from the main boulevard, but it has a huge frontal property that you have to traverse before you get to the front door of the hotel building. The lobby and rooms were nicely designed and aesthetic. I had no problems with black outs during my stay. I found the free breakfast really nice and contained a good amount of variety for a buffet. It kept with the 5-star quality of the hotel. I will be sure to stay at the Don Chan Palace Hotel & Convention again on my next stay in Vientiane."Show more

V Hotel Vientiane

"V Hotel was very fine. I paid $7.00 for a taxi from the airport. $21.00 dollars per night. Clean room, good air con, good elevator, hot water in the shower. You also get a light breakfast from 8;00 to 9:30. I saw no flaws with V Hotel, but Vientiane? Never Again. It's now huge and sprawling. No maps available for the crooked main sts. So I took a jarring 6 1/2 van ride to Vong Vieng, Laos' Party City. It was so friggin' boring (The place shuts down at ten p.m. I couldn't believe it) I went right back to Vientiane, then back to Thailand. The airport in Vientiane also SUCKS. There's 9 Immig. Officers doing absolutely nothing, while all VISA applicants are put into ONE LINE that barely moves. I stood in line for at least 1 1/2 hrs. GET YOUR VISA BEFOREHAND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. Laos doesn't care one bit about tourism, and makes no accomodation to help you. Any other questions, write me at FB,-my name is Patrick Young from Fresno, CA"Show more

Bloom Boutique Hotel and Cafe

"This is a great boutique hotel situated only 5 mins walk to the River and night markets. Location is perfect and the hotel was the best place I have stayed in Laos so far. A true gem and one I will stay at from now on when visiting the Vientiane. Value for money was excellent and the rooms were spotless and a high standard with good internet and all the modern comforts you would expect. The breakfast was also great and served in their coffee shop downstairs which was another great place."Show more

Lao Golden Hotel

"This was my fifth trip to Vientiane and second time Ive stayed at Lao Golden. It would have been my third time, but last trip it was fully booked. This hotel is a great location if you are is Vientiane for the Thai consulate. It's nice to have a hotel nearby for a few reasons. 1. Taxi's / Tuk tuks in Vientiane are relatively expensive compared to Thailand and you have to go through an annoying routine of haggling them down on price every time you want one. So avoiding using taxi's unnecessarily for trips to the consulate will save you a few coins and all the bother. 2. It's also useful to be close by if there's a long queue at the consulate, I had quite a long wait, so walked back to the hotel for an hour and a half and relaxed there with air con, showers, breakfast and TV instead of sitting miserably at the consulate in the heat and monotony. There's also small shops nearby, a few restaurants, including a pizza company all of which serves me fine for the two days I'm there. The rooms are really nice, clean, white and spacious and a decent TV. Generous breakfast is also nice - buffet with plenty of choice. Quite honestly I've seen all of Vientiane on previous trips, I'm not bothered about seeing it again, I don't relish the thought of going there, but this hotel makes this mandatory trip just a little easier / happier. I will definately be booking again."Show more

Vientiane Golden Sun Hotel

"In terms of professionalism and quality of stay, you can't beat the Crowne. I've stayed here twice and have loved it both times. The staff are professionals (which is not something you should take for granted in a place like Laos, or Southeast Asia in general) and the building is spanking new, as are the big and comfy rooms and facilities. The restaurant/breakfast is vast, including the selections, and the ambiance is definitely upscale. This is probably the most luxuries hotel in Laos I've been in. You do get your money's worth. Pro Tip: don't be a chump and use the hotel (or any hotel's, for that matter) airport shuttle option. Taxis are now readily available in Vientiane and Laos (not the case just a few years ago) so just use the taxi stands. Yes, they will be slightly more expensive than what you'd pay the street tuktuks, but way cheaper (nearly half) of what any hotel shuttle will cost you."Show more

Ansara Hotel

"My partner and I stayed at the Ansara Hotel 3 times during our travels around Laos. After reading the reviews online, we had to try it! We have travelled around the world a fair bit and found the Ansara Hotel to be one of our very favourite places. Hotel - it has a lovely relaxing charm to it. The rooms were beautifully decorated and were always spotless and smelled clean and nice. Staff - really helpful and professional, especially the hotel manager - our luggage got left behind in Bangkok when we first arrived in Vientiane & wasn't going to arrive in Vientiane until later that day and the manager of the hotel personally came back to the airport with us that afternoon to ensure we had no issues with the language barrier or anything like that, which as far as I am concerned is above and beyond the call of duty and was appreciated by myself and my partner greatly. Restaurant - the prices are like any place that serve gourmet international food, but I am happy to pay this when the meals are of such high quality and they have a nice drinks menu. The breakfast is nice also. Location - great spot, really close to the night markets, shops and restaurants, You can walk to some sights, but it's easy getting a tuk tuk to any that are further. Transfer - the hotel were reliable in arranging for us to be collected and dropped off each time we checked in and out. All in all, I can not think of one bad thing to report during our 3 stays at the Ansara Hotel and will definitely return when we go back to Vientiane."Show more

Capitol Residence

"Actually this is a good service apartments with basic facilities such as kitchen, many types of rooms, bar cafe, and gym (No swimming pool). You need to ask the cooking tools from the hotel if you want to use it, but they will ask you how long you will stay and i don't what is the purpose of that question. I also having trouble communicate with their staff for a while until their supervisor come, but they really try to help you which is I really appreciate it. But the good thing, the location is very good that just nearby the Mekong River which is the tourist center (10 minutes walking) also if you need to buy grocery, rest bike/motorcycle, laundry service, restaurants, massage, good bar, gas station, u can find few shops around the place, walking distance. One of the best thing, local people told they served the best burger in Vientiane in their restaurant located on the rooftop. Overall it was a good experience to stay in this place. Hope this can help another traveler later."Show more

Lane Xang Hotel

"The hotel seems have a bit of a run down appearance but is really rather good value and possesses great character . Rooms are large with nice wooden floors and comfortable beds. It is not a backpacker place, for instance, it was full of Lao government official staying there on my first day. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. I think the one area that can be improved is the buffet breakfast which should be more of a showcase for the superb Laos coffee , French style baguettes and rice dishes. These were there but not as delicious as the can be . I had to walk up the road to a local shop to have a freshly warmed baguette with cheese, or pate or omelette for just over 2 US $ ."Show more

It is not a cheap hotel relative to other options in town, but it is extremely centrally located and has a very nice feel. The dining options are good, with a nice breakfast. Perfect for either a business hotel or weekend couples getaway. You don't feel like you are in a poor country when staying here!!"Show more

The breakfast was great, with tea, coffee, juice, fresh fruit, and snacks for grab and go as well as two options (american breakfast or some type of local fare). We went with American both mornings and it was great. Just down the street from Tyson Kitchen (honestly the best restaurant in Vientiane!)."Show more

"We stayed for four nights in this very nice hotel. The rooms are not big but they're big enough. There's a very small fridge in the room. Air conditioning kept the room at a nice temperature even when the outside temperature was near 40 degrees Celsius. The staff was very polite and friendly. The breakfast cost 10 USD per person. It was good but maybe a little overpriced. Most sights in Vientiane are at walking distance from the hotel but it was too hot to walk all the time so we got a tuktuk to take us to the Cope centre and other places a bit further away. But as already mentioned, we liked best the cleanliness of the hotel. There are very nice hotels near the hotel. Everything we ate in Vientiane was truly delicious. Next to the Fountain, a few steps from the hotel, is the walk in office for Green Discovery (if I remember it right) tours. We booked one and enjoyed the boat and trekking tour to the nearby national park. The hotel arranged us a taxi to the Friendship bridge to go back to Udon Thani airport. It cost 500 baht. We asked the taxi driver if he could take us all the way to the airport in Udon Thani. Yes, for 3000 baht. Instead, we switched taxis at the Lao side of the border and paid 800 baht from the border to the airport. Plus the 20 baht exit and 20 baht entry charges per person. A delightful stay in Vientiane!"Show more

SOKDEE CITY HOTEL

"This hotel is the best choice in Vientiane if you are looking for a decent hotel that offers some luxury at a budget rate. We booked two superior rooms for one night only. The rooms were big enough and the beds are soft, the linens immaculately clean. The interior of the rooms is distinctively Lao. The broken glass art work at the lobby enhances the beauty of the hotel. the manager, the Pinay staff, and all others were all warm and friendly and responded to all our needs with a personal touch. even entertained us with his songs even in the presence of the Pinoy singer. When we needed to stay a couple of hours for our night bus to Luang Prabang, we got a good deal to keep one of the rooms at half the price. The buffet breakfast is excellent value for money, not to mention the food tastes delicious. We highly recommend this hotel to all other travelers to Vientiane. Honestly, the D' Rose 1 exceed my expectations!"Show more

Niny Backpackers

"It's best if you book in for multiple nights straight away, as then they'll try and give you a bottom bunk in a quiet spot. Still had a bit of music and really loud snorers, but that's usually an issue in large hostels. Always bring earplugs. Staff were pretty helpful, though it was clear they made their money through commissions and services. The main lady is from Vietnam and the guy helping out (maybe part owner?) was from the Philippines, but has worked for many years in Cambodia, so the staff are pretty helpful when it comes to making future travel arrangements. The internet sucks, but not more than every other hostel in Laos. If you need average quality internet, try Joma Cafe around the corner. Don't expect great internet anywhere in Laos. I ended up booking an extra 3 nights through the hotel because my onward travel to Vietnam was delayed due to the Vietnamese New Year. Would recommend to fellow budget travellers. Price is 40,000 kip for walk ins."Show more

Best shower (hot) i experienced so far in all southeastasia hostels. great breakfast included in the roomprice. only the coffee is very poor, which is surprising since it‘s hard to find bad coffee in Laos. The room prices i found cheap for a capital; for the dorms as well as the private doubles. good beds, sleep was very well. Stunning terrace with view over the nightmarket and mekong river. Couldn‘t be better. They improve the lounge area and the restaurant right now; making the stay even more comfy. The building feels huge, it gives a nice spacy feeling; real more like a hotel than a small hostel or guesthouse squeezed into some dark sidealley. Location couldn‘t be better, right in the middle of everything."Show more

However, I will say that the beds were not comfortable, so if this is a high priority, it might be an issue for you.

We had no issue with the air-conditioning being cut off during the day, we had control over when it was on/off. The free breakfast that was provided was a nice touch, but like other reviews have stated, it is really not that much food. But it's free. The wifi here was spotty at best, and sometimes it didn't work at all. The staff was pleasant enough. The location is ok. The night market and the night food markets are close by, along with a few restaurants, but it is kind of far from some of the other Vientiane sights you may want to check out."Show more

"This is a NEW HOSTEL 1 year old. They have thick bed mattress which I have looked for. I got back pain in many other places because of too thin/cheap bed mattress. Hostel is very clean or at least cleaner any other hostels. Because everything here is new, owner takes care of them well to keep it last long. Free breakfast with care! They offer two eggs, sandwiches and coffee. Aircon is running most time if it is too hot. Regular time is 5pm - 11am next day. But they usually turn it on at 2pm to please customers. Staffs are so kind and friendly. They would answer all questions about transportation from place to place in Laos, Thailand, Vietnam. Internet sucks sometimes which is a common issue in poor countries. They could not offer internet in few days because they did not have service from internet company. To please customers, they changed to new internet company immediately, however, it took few days including weekend. I got a bit trouble as i could not check email. With patience, the internet has been back nicely at high speed on monday. I have met many solo backpackers in hostel. Some of them are old customers here. They said this is the best place in Vietiane. I have stayed and agreed, just dont know why the owner sets it 1-star hostel while the other hostels are not so good but they decribe themseves as 2-star hostels. Very pleased place!"Show more

"Returned to Avalon for an additional night on my way back from the north. This time I took a smaller room which I regretted as it was really tiny. You could hardly walk around the bed and the bathroom was nothing more than a toilet with a shower in it. I booked the room for 2, but when I checked in I was alone (my partner was parking the car) and they gave me a breakfast coupon for 1. Taking away something a guest paid for before they even get to their room is really cheap. Just saying.... Apart from that it's still a good deal in a perfect location."Show more

The rooms and toilets are always kept clean, and the staff do their best not to intrude during house-keeping. Personal lockers are provided in your own space so there is no need to get out of bed to pack/unpack. The restaurant is run by amazing chefs who can whip up some seriously good food at very affordable(local) prices. There is a pool table free for guests to use & socialize if you want to make some new friends. Location is fantastic, just a short walk away from the night market at the Mekong river and just enough distance to keep the noise at bay. Most importantly, the managers and staffs are super friendly and helpful. Perhaps even better than those of 4-5 stars hotels. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank them for making my stay in Vientiane so uniquely pleasant."Show more

Dream Home Hostel 1

"Recommended by a friend from Bangkok, i actually was staying in another bed bugs infested hostel and was forced to move here. Here, i was greeted by friendly Vietnamese owners who run the hostel very well. aircon was avail all day, unlike other hostels that on it during certain times of the day. dorms were spacious and beds were suitable for tall people like me. beds also retrofitted with lights and powersocket. was disappointed when i was denied breakfast when i arrived at 0959am. did my laundry there for 10k kips per kg. and rented a bicycle for 10k kips that saw me covering most tourists spots within a day. shared bathrooms and toilets located at lower floor. Roads outside were dusty and uneven. also dropped by the swimming pool nearby and saw guests swimming happily in the milky yellowish pool. overall, price was reasonable for an expensive city like Vientiane."Show more

Green Box Hotel

"We've been excited to stay at our first capsule hotel and Green Box didn't disappoint. We had a double box and loved the concept. The rooftop also had a great chill out area, as well as a balcony. There were shared bathrooms that were very clean and the box itself was tidy and had lights/ powerpoints. We also had a meal and coffees at the restaurant which tasted home cooked. To make our stay extra special, the owners surprised me with a Valentine's Day rose! They also arranged an affordable airport transfer at 4:30am for us. I can't recommend anywhere else to stay in Vientiane."Show more

Mixay Guesthouse

"I was only visiting the City for Visa/Embassy purposes but had to stay over the weekend as arrived too late to the embassy on Thursday so had to go back on Monday for my passport. The staff were super friendly and looked after me well my room was fine, cheap and included double bed, wardrobe and desk etc The only thing I was disappointed about was that I found out on arrival that breakfast was not included or even available, however they had requested that Agoda change this a few months back but hadn't. This didn't put me off though and I will probably stay there again on my next visa run, it has many great places to eat nearby."Show more

Was great location, free breakfast if you were up before 10am and the lady who runs it was so helpful and lovely, I think she made my stay here so much more accommodating.

"I've been on the road for 8 months. This hostel was the best hostel i've ever stayed in my whole travel. Everything is new and super clean. Staffs are super friendly and helpful. Situated in opposite of the best vegetarian restaurant in Vientiane, in the downtown. It's very close. If you're fellow vegetarian i would love to recommend this place absolutely much. So, i definitely stay at this hostel again. Brand new, friendly and clean. Good wifi, good cafe, and good location. Very lovely place to stay."Show more

My Box Hostel and Cafe

"This is definitely my best accommodation in Vientiane, but I have a notice for potential guests who may chose My Box Hostel & Cafe. There was some construction work just next to My Box Hostel & Cafe (at least 11th and 12th in June 2019) and it caused a really serious problem by making awful sound and vibration which made me unslept since 09:00 till 18:00. Of course it was not a fault of My Box Hostel & Cafe at all, but you may possibly find another accommodation if you have a plan to stay several nights in Vientiane in this June 2019, I’m afraid."Show more

Ali Hotel

"We were on the third floor & it was very noisy at night due to the traffic and the night market below, we also had a neighbour (another person staying at the hotel) that used the shared balcony till midnight watching a football game which felt like he was literally sat in our room watching as it was so loud. Room was clean & tidy, as was the entire facilities of the hotel. Breakfast was as noted in previous reviews (veggies and rice) not western, no eggs etc. They were nice & let us keep our luggage there till we went to the airport. However price of our stay was different to what we booked on Agoda - they said it was due to exchange rate which doesn’t add up as we only booked it the night before we arrived. Paid an extra $6 (doesn’t seem much but on a backpackers budget it’s not fair!)."Show more

Vientiane Star Hotel

"I stayed at the Vientiane Star for just one night while on a visa run from Thailand and would definitely come back. The staff is very friendly, the Wi-Fi connection works well at the outside bar as well as in the rooms (or at least it did in my room), the location is excellent and near the main tourist drag (the little bit there is), the fittings in the room and the bathroom, aircon, flat screen TV etc. were all new, which is unusual for low-price hotels in Vientiane. Granted, the room was (very) small, but that's pretty much standard in Laos. As I like to get some sleep in the afternoon I didn't mind the wall view either but actually appreciated it. This is a budget two-star hotel, nothing more nothing less, but I've visited Vientiane more than 20 times, staying in different budget places most of the time, and have surely seen much worse, including some completely run-down places for the same money or more. Good value for money in a perfect location just around the corner from the riverfront."Show more

Vientiane Travellers House

"for my first "dormitory hostel" vientiane travelers house was a great find. i had to do a quick visa run and ended up staying for the weekend. the guest house is in the center of the city. i walked everywhere, i wanted to go. the location was prime. they also have bikes for rent which i rented for two days and free wifi which is extremely fast. the dorms not only have fans but also ac!!! there are bathrooms on every floor and on the first floor there are 3 toilets and 5 more showers, so you never have to wait. the bathrooms are extremely clean and the showers are awesome! hot water always and big round kohler style shower heads haven't had a shower like this in a long time. the guest house is across the street from a great beer garden and so many cafes, bars, restaurants, shops and the best deal for a hour lao massage is next door. they also have laundry services and will book and arrange anything you want to see and get you to the bus station, airport or train station. the owner, is so helpful and will bend over backwards to see you are taken care of. the staff is also very kind. i met some great people over the weekend and had a really nice time. for a traveler on a budget (and i mean budget) the vientiane travelers house is the best deal in town and i searched! i highly recommend this place and i will deafly be returning. five stars!!!!!"Show more

Vanna Resort

"When we arrived it was hot, dry and our Taxi driver was stressed as he did not know where to go, the lady we first met could not speak any other language than her own (Lao) and we wondered if we had made a mistake, (so did the taxi driver). The daughter of the owner arrived speaking excellent English and sorted out evervthing! After settling into a nice, if fairly basic chalet, (but with the best shower and most comfortable bed we had slept in for 2 weeks) we explored the grounds. This place is totally amazing!--The owner has created a pleasure garden with lakes, gardens, walks with bridges over the lakes, every type of shelter with tables and seats so you can picnic almost everywhere. A restaurant/cafe with good food and drinks overlooking one of the lakes and if you are in one of the seating areas outside the staff will bring your food and drink to you. This is very much a place for Lao people and we were honoured to be there, it is not a place for everyone, almost everyone speaks only Lao,(much like England where we only speak english) but everyone is kind, honest, helpful, and so cheerful,in fact the language barrier is easily overcome if you are willing to try. We loved the experience, having stayed in the middle of Vientiene it was good to be somewhere quiet to end our stay in Laos. Thank you to everyone at Vanna Resort."Show more

We were the only ones in the whole dormitory and later realised why - Agoda made a mistake, Benacam Boutique was getting ready for the new season and wasn't letting anyone in yet. What I can say is that they are fully ready for the upcoming season - new matresses, new blankets, new covers, everything is spotless clean, hot shower fully functioning. We were lucky to stay there. I believe upcoming season will change this hotel's reviews for the better."Show more

Vansana Riverside Hotel

"I have stayed in many hotels in Vientiane. This hotel is far and away the best vlaue. The average room size are considerably larger than you normally get for an approximate $50.00 per night hotel cost. All of the rooms have balconies and many have excellent views of the nerby Mekong. Although it is an older hotel, it is clean and tidy. On the downside, the breakfast is not much to brag about, but that's the case with the great majority of the hotels in Vientiane. If you want to get any thing warm to eat, you need to get there before the Asian tour groups have empited the heating bins shortly after 7:00 AM. Internet in rooms is an 'on again, off again' thing. But the connection in the "Inernet room" is not much better. Staff is very friendly and tries to be helpful, but typically speak little, if any English. But even with those minor problems--a great value in Vientiane."Show more

Grand Szechuan Hotel Vientiane

"Rather new hotel, room pretty nice and in good condition. Bathroom also fine although shower water pressure fairly low (6th floor). Hotel built by a Chinese person and nearly all guests are Chinese - some hotel employees spoke English very well, others (more than half?) only Chinese and Lao which might be a problem for English only speakers. Hotel staff reasonably friendly and helpful although some were less informed than others. The hotel is probably meant to serve Chinese expats on short-term work stints and not so geared for tourists - no tourist city map available for example.. The small pool had rather green and hazy water - I braved it and survived however (don't think anyone else ever did. Internet wifi is excellent. Chinese style breakfast buffet is pretty good. My biggest complaint is the location. There are few to none restaurants, coffee shops, or retail shops that tourists might be interested in that are very accessible by foot."Show more

Chang Palace Vientiane

"This hotel really is exceptional value when you compare the price of the rooms with those in the central city area. It's quite close to the airport, not near the city center. However, the staff are amazing and give a very personal service. There is a free hotel shuttle bus everyday at 10am, 3pm and 8pm. The van will take you anywhere you want to go, any of the main tourist attractions. As the hotel is new, most tuk tuk and taxi drivers don't know where it is but that will hopefully change over time. A tuk tuk from the city area to the hotel costs around 50,000 - 60,000 kip. The rooms are large, clean, new, modern and amazing. Everything is brand new and it deserves the 4 star rating. The housekeeping staff are very good. The tv is large but unfortunately the selection of TV channels aren't good. There is free wi-fi but I found that the connection kept dropping which was annoying. The hotel doesn't really have any facilities, there's no gym or swimming pool. There is breakfast, but it's quite basic. It's fried rice, noodles, bread for toast and things like that. The hotel's decor is Chinese-themed and the hotel is popular with Chinese and Korean tourists so the breakfast food caters to those tastes. Overall, I'd thank the staff for their excellent service and for making our stay pleasant."Show more

My impression from the place is twofold: On the one hand the rooms are clean, have TV and WLAN (which has to be paid extra, though!), on the other hand I felt like the only person in the hotel, which has not much charm and seems very cold to me. The staff was attentive, but sometime lacked the right skills and the breakfast was ... not very nutritious and had no quality. One has also to keep in mind that the distance from the center will add at least $10-12 per day to make a taxi/tuk-tuk trip downtown and back."Show more

Traveler impressions of Vientiane

A quiet city that could be romantic for couples, the language barrier and weak tourist infrastructure make it more of an "adventure destination.

Benjamin, United States

Vientiane is a city, if you never been here before and just come here for an experience will do. May come to Laos through here to Long Probang.

STELLA, Malaysia

We enjoyed see a couple of the monuments and stupas. However 1 days is enough to see most everything.

Marvin, United States

A small town. Easy to see all there is to see, which is not much, in a very short time frame. There is fairly good food.

bruce, United States

Nothing much too do. Nice coffe shops and restaurants. Very French, fantastic baguettes and croissant.

Charles, Australia

Friendly, kind, honest people. Amazing food at restaurants and street vendors. The night market on the river is lovely.

Brooke, United States

I rented a bike to tour the countryside with a guide. The bike rental was on the same street as my hotel (Ibis) it was very convenient.

Raymund , Philippines

Excellent..visa service for most embassies Good food and great shopping. Don t miss the night market along Mekhong river.

John, Belgium

Small & relatively tranquil for a national capital, but good for a few days of relaxation, some light sightseeing, Beer Lao, and fairly authentic European food.

Samuel, United States

Its a quiet city. I was surprised by the wine that was there, stores everywhere with high end stuff. Wasn't sure if it was legit or not.

Christina, Canada

This capital city is getting larger with a large influx of foreigners in living here. Traffic is becoming a nightmare.

Sirianosac, United States

The capital city of Laos is a quiet chaos of people and changes. Many people are flocking to this city to do business and to buy up land, space, and/or buildings.

Sirianosac, United States

the area near the river is the old French part of town, along Rue F. Nginn and the parallel streets. it is full of good restaurants.

Paul, United States

There is not much to do in Vientiane to warrant more than a 1&1/2 days at max as a tourist. There are plenty of Wats to see and that is mostly it.

Alastair, United States

In short: if you do not like the mass tourism industry of Thailand, but do like South East Asian culture, it be easier to find it HERE.

Wolfgang, Austria

Inner Land city near the Mekong River and opposite of River is Thailand . Most of the people here are friendly and no many car and very quiet city and no pollution.

LAW, Malaysia

There is not much to be done nor seen in the city itself. One full day will cover most of the attractions.

Htut Htut, Myanmar

Beautiful city with many amazing tourist attractions and temples. City streets are always crowded with cars and they will park anywhere.

Jeff, Canada

Vientiane is pretty laidback capital - even for a South East Asian standard. There's virtually no traffic, nobody is rushing anywhere, and there's so many cool coffee and pastry shops to choose.

Saiful Zareek, Malaysia

It was too hot during the day and quit many shops were closed before opening for dinner. Night market was great because we could see the beautiful sunset in the river where many locals also enjoy walking and exercising.

EUIKYONG, South Korea

Must see places are Pha That Luang, Patuxai, Wat Sisaket, Buddha Park, Night Market, sunset by the Mekong River.

Mildred, Philippines

Lovely little town, nothing like a typical Asian capital city. Small town, everything easy to find. There are son many nice buildings and temples everywhere right in throughout the city centre.

Franciscus, Netherlands

I love Vientiane. It is just very laid back, and peaceful :-) Don't expect to do much while there, and to be completely honest, you can visit all major attractions (i.

Marie-Adele, France

Tuk tuk is very expensive compare to other countries in the region, costs usd 5 to 8 within the town.

Ng, Singapore

Vientiane (Viang Chan) is not a large city, and one can visit many sites, shopping areas and dine at excellent restaurants on foot.

robert, Canada

everything is okay, it's Vientiane after all,always negotiate the charge of tuk tuk. the people at there are like super friendly, only that if they are more concerns and become a bit more sensitive about the food.

zulhazmi, Malaysia

Vientiane is the Dubbo of the orient. It's pretty darn small, doesn't really have much going for it as far as nightlife.

Alex, Australia

Very modest and limited options to do anything. 2 days here would be more than enough to do sightseeing

Vladimir, Serbia

It's a quiet sleepy town, very flat terrain if you rent a cycle, many temples if that's your thing, no real nightlife to speak of and feels like somewhere you visit briefly on the way to somewhere else.

Gareth, United Kingdom

It is a strange place. Run down and sort of empty. Interesting and safe to check out but not a place I would go to if I didn't have Visa business there.

S 2 Modern Boutique Hotel

"One of the best hotels in Vientiane. Very friendly staff, immaculate rooms, and good internet which is very hard to find in this area. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms have very hot water with rain showerheads. The cafe downstairs is also modern and cute with good food. There is a minimart next door and a small bar. Definitely recommend. "Show more

Urbanite Hotel

"We booked the hotel without fully researching the location in it's relation to the Thai embassy (the reason we were in Vientiane). A taxi from the hotel is 200 Baht (54,200KIP - one-way trip). They do, however, loan a scooter for two hours (or can be rented for 200Baht/day) if it's available at the time you need it (we had to return one scooter for the other because it was not mechanically fit). The hotel is new, so it wasn't surprising that their restaurant wasn't open yet. They do have an Asian breakfast there, but I wouldn't expect it to win any awards. So, for Western breakfasts and other meals of the day, it's take a taxi or one of the two scooters (if one is available). On the good side, the hotel was new and clean and the staff were friendly and spoke good English. In summary: Nice hotel. Just not for everybody."Show more

Lao Poet Hotel

"This is a brand new stylish hotel in Vientiane. Breathtaking decor and style, a modern rooftop pool, comfortable modern rooms and very reasonable dates. The breakfast room in the lobby has full bright windows into a tiny classic street which lets you immerse yourself in the culture while enjoying your delicious cappuccino! The free bike rental is an extra perk. There is an affable very helpful manager form South Africa who talks and connects with guests throughout the day, and the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly."Show more

"Vientiane Garden Boutique Hotel is a very clean and jolly hotel with guests from all over the world. The rooms on the first floor seem to be nicer and brighter than the ones on the ground floor. On the first floor there is also a patio, and two neighbouring guests share one table and the view over the garden, the deckchairs and the pool. Backpackers, families as well as travelers with suitcases of all ages gather around the pool which is the social center of the hotel. Some just enjoy the hot temperatures, others have some really good food that is cooked by the hotel staff in the hotel kitchen, and others enjoy Beer Lao until nightfall. The hotel is only 10 minutes walking distance from the riverbank of the Mekong where you can enjoy the sunset and the lively night market. The breakfast choice is simple but that corresponds the price you pay per night. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room is cleaned every day including fresh towels."Show more

Mini S Hotel

"Everyone working in this hotel is very nice and friendly . When I happened to be in the lobby same with the manager he always shaked my hand and asked how I'm doing. They have breakfast options like fried rice chicken and spagetti with cream sauce if i remember correcly. I was always waking up very late so I only ate the breakfast one time. The reception is also a coffee shop and ice latte was 18000lak (about 2$ or 1.8€) The place is very clean and even i woke up like 3pm and went to get something to eat nextdoor for 30minutes and came back my room was cleaned. Internet and ac worked very well unlike some other places i have stayed in vientiane. The location is like 1,5km-2km from the restaurants/bars so it's good idea to rent a motorbike/bicycle but you can still also just take a tuktuk from outside the hotel."Show more

Camellia Princess Hotel

"There are Lane Xang Hotel in Vientiane, one with Princess and the other one is not. We went to Lane Xang instead of Lane Xang Princess because a staff in money exchane show us the way to Lane Xang Hotel. The staff in Lane Xang Hotel then informed us the way to Lane Xang Princess. Lane Xang Princess is just about 15-20 minutes walk from Lane Xang Hotel. The hotel is in front of morning market in Viantiane. It is very clean, new and well maintained hotel. The breakfast is good. It is recommended to stay there. The only weakness is the room is not sound proof enough. We can hear people talking in the other or outside our room very clear....."Show more

Dansavanh Hotel

"This Hotel is almost directly outside the Airport entrance making it an ideal place to stop over either before or after your flight. I arrived at Vientiane at 21:55 and was in my hotel room at 22:05. The room was very clean and spacious with all the amenities at hand for a comfortable nights sleep. Breakfast is served until 10 am and I sat down for mine at 09:35. You have a choice of breakfast which included Lao, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and western dishes. As I had booked a double room I was allowed to choose two items which I thought I would finish easily, as many hotels offer only small portions. However either of my dishes would have done adequately on its own to satisfy a normal persons requirements for the morning. The Staff at the hotel spoke excellent English and accommodated all my requests without any problems and always with a smile too. I would definitely recommend staying here and will no doubt stay here again in the near future."Show more

"It was very good to stay for me cause i had to leave the next day quite early to domestic airport. Staff was so nice even if i arrived 1am. One thing is that i had to shout for a minute cause the door was locked. Except that, everything was reaonable to the price. The best thing was about this hotel was that they sent me to the airport in the early morning for free. I liked it for a short stay"Show more

Le Calao Vientiane Hotel

"The hotel is lovely inside, allows pets, has a nice balcony at overlooking the backyard where they serve free breakfast until 10am. They offer a van taxi service too. The rate is negotiable, but reasonable. A short walk to the main street (Rue Asean), and you can walk to some eating places or flag down a tuk tuk and go down to the river front market area for about 80 bhat. It'll cost you more to return. Only problem was that they didnt remove the opened soap bar and the use towel from the guest prior to us. Also, the locals street dogs were having some kind of fight late at night which kept us up the second night."Show more
