Find Hotels in Near Riverfront, Laos

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.

A nice hostel, I booked a single room and it provided all of the amenities I needed. Had a fridge with drinks and also a free breakfast which is a nice perk. I tried a Laos Beer in the evening and had Scrambled Eggs on Toast for Breakfast. Location is very near the Mekong Riverfront and the Talat Sao night markets. Other attractions such as some of the stunning temples are also close by.

Nice place to stay as its near night market.Also there is a very affordable eatery just beside it wherein you can eat like a local.Staff are courteous and accomodating and there is also a decent serving of breakfast as complimentary. How's that?😍 though at first it took me quite sometime finding it even if I have booked myself via Loca ( local version of Grab and Uber) and used GPS. Also there is no availability of elevators so Ive crept myself up to 4th flr. Just kiddin! Overall experience is a value for money👌 💜💙💚💛❤🖤💟

Great stay here. Excellent location, near everything. Clean, spacious dorm with air con. Clean toilet & showers. Staff are very friendly & helpful, excellent English & suggestions on things to do, bus rates are cheapest & VIP bus is good. Common area could have been cleaner & some comfier chairs/sofas. Breakfast was the only let down, bread soggy but other than that definitely worth the $5 a night. Hard to beat this hostel. It is a 2 minute walk from the National Cultural Hall so if your VIP bus drops you there don't waste money on a tuc tuc!

Somehow the hostel managed to strike a perfect balance. The beds, which are comfortably large, comes with privacy curtains for times when you require some peace and quiet. 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.

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.

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!!!!!

I've read reviews and was prepared for the upsetting stay, but it was the cheapest option in town, so we took a risk. 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.

Mixay Paradise ticked all the boxes for a minimalist and clean budget hotel in the middle of Vientiane. We had a room in the front of the building on the second floor with the communal balcony accessible right outside the door. We’re deep sleepers and barely noiticed any street noise, but if that’s a concern you may want a room near the back of the hotel. It was perfect for a two night stay and the staff were very accommodating by checking us in late at night due a flight delay (they had been sleeping but were very pleasant nonetheless). The staff were equally helpful in arranging a taxi to the airport at the standard local rate. Breakfast was not included but the buffet was of good value for ~$3usd. If we were staying longer in Vientiane we might opt for a larger room, but for a short stay it met all our needs.

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 :)

I spent 3 nights there and I was quite disappointed with the facilities. WiFi did not work half the time. I often had to go downstairs to sit in the office and use it. There are absolutely no cheap transportation options. All the taxi and tuk tuk drivers will charge you a minimum of 200 baht to go anywhere one way. There was no toilet paper and soap in the bathroom when I arrived. I barely felt any hot water when I took a shower. A proper desk would have been nice to sit at while using my laptop. The apartment was big and spacious, with a hot water heater, gas range, and dishes should you need them. There's a nice Russian restaurant about a mile away that serves delicious food for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

Room: 303 The Good: Friendly, pleasant, helpful staff, easy check-in, good location near the riverfront, relatively modern, spacious rooms. The Bad: Paper-thin walls between rooms: No imagination was needed to clearly understand what was occurring or being said in adjacent rooms. Poorly maintained: The bathroom floor would flood whether or not the shower was used and worse so when it was used. And then even worse so if the toilet was flushed. The sink leaked on to the floor when used and was falling off the wall. Poor security: No safe for valuables in room. Room keys are left unsupervised on front desk leaving them vulnerable to theft and room to break-in. Verdict: I wouldn't recommend to a friend. Unfortunately when staying in Vientiane, this level of hotel quality seems normal in this price range.

Bloom boutique hotel and café is a true gem. Really. An amazing find! We booked for 2 nights at the beggining of our Laos trip and love it so much we also booked when we came back before leaving the country. Where to start? This hotel is brand new : like one month old. But do not be afraid : everything is perfectly working! Rooms are immaculate and wide. All the hotel in fact is design with great taste. The kind of hotel you would paid over 200$ a night in america. But not here : the prices are super affordables!It is truly a great great place. Not just great to travel : great. Point. The staff is really amazing and the owners are there often. Super helpful and accomodating. Breakfast is also included in the price. In fact, there’s the Bloom crafted café on the first floor. Amazing place! The deco, the staff and the food! I mean : there’s a real effort to push every plate beyond. Really amazing. Give their lunch a try: just wow. Not only the hotel guests are going to the café : exp

Well, i hope I am spelling her name right. Jayna worked the front desk for the week i stayed at Champa Boutique. The hotel is very nice! This hotel was perfect for me. I am not a big spending fancy traveler, but i am not a shoestring budget traveler either. I need a nice place, but i dont want to spend a ton of money either. This hotel had a perfect location 1 minute walk from riverfront and night market. lots of food and drink options walking distance. Trikes all around if needed, temple next door. Perfect pool to cool off and sunbathe. The most important part to me was the awesome staff. housekeeping was great. Jayna the day clerk was awesome! She checked me in with ease, got me a scooter, got my laundry done, got me a scooter, got me into my room when i locked myself out, got me a ride to the airport, and was super pleasant the whole time. the lobby clerk at night was also great,This hotel has a trusted contact for everything you need to save you time, and they are super nice!

There are many positives about this hotel - the location was superb as it was very close to everything (including the night market), it was very clean, secure and big, free breakfast (cooked to my order) and bottled water in the room were included. The biggest positive about this hotel, which made my experience so much more enjoyable, was the top quality level of service and friendliness shown by the wonderful reception staff. They helped me organise everything I needed including obtaining a SIM card for my phone and helping me activate it (all from the comfort of the lobby while one staff member went to the shop to get it for me) and calling up local martial arts gym for me to help me find somewhere I could have cheap private sessions in the Muay Lao martial art. They also organised transport for me around the city and even a pick up from the airport of my next destination ! When I come to Vientiane again I will stay here again!

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.

The new owners took over about a month ago, they have made nice decoration & bathroom improvements. Staff were always warm welcoming & polite. A good buffet breakfast, better to get there earlier rather than later to get the full selection. Just opposite the night market & mekon riverfront, up the road are some nice restaurant, bakeries, travel agents & laundry Nice plump pillows, the best place over stayed in in Laos. Definitely stay again
