      Location”

      Proximity to the river banks of the Mekong and many little nice restaurants; offroad parking and spacious rooms are a plus. Well worn but fairly well maintained, it is one of the elder hotels. The bathrooms though suck (502) with extremely slippery floor tiles and a shower tap/head which really should be replaced. Will be back again but would inspect the room before. Beware also, that the reservations desk is unmanned on Sunday; they had no booking record upon check-in and just trusted the Agoda website which I had displayed on my phone; they actually took a photo of my phone. Certain professionalism could bear some improvements here.

      We arrived at the hotel and no one was there. The hotel lights were off. Fortunately the guard whose already inside his mosquito net woke up was kind enough to let us in. The guard was so lost. He tried to find keys of any room he can give us. He seems not to know that someone was even coming. The next day was also not a best day since there was no breakfast. I suggest to check the hotels before arrival to check whether their services is still available or not.

      Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel, Vientiane”

      Staff are the hotel's best feature, from the reception staff to the restaurant servers, everyone was lovely. Free wi-fi is great.
      A little far from the city center

      My son and I stayed at the Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel for several nights in January, 2010. Located right on the Mekong River, the views are gorgeous. We had a standard room which was very large and clean, as was the bathroom (with plenty of hot water). The beds were comfortable, the TV had great reception, and the in-room frig was handy for keeping drinks and snacks cool. There was a restaurant on the top floor where we enjoyed free buffet breakfasts. The best thing about the hotel, however, was the staff, who were unfailingly polite and very helpful. Free airport pick-up (and drop-off) solved the problem of getting into town, and the free wi-fi was a hit with my teen-age son. The only tiny negative is that the hotel is a bit far from the city center, necessitating a tuk-tuk ride or a 15-minute walk. That would not keep me from staying at the hotel the next time I am in Vientiane, though.

      chose hotel online and it turned out to be in the perfect location just across the street from blocks of outdoor dining and BBQ. Also lots of excellent live music nearby and a short walk to the lively night market. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to the Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel on my next holiday in Vientiane.

      Great hotel, great rooftop restaurant/bar”

      the rooftop restaurant/bar, cleanliness & service

      seng tawan riverside hotel is a great hotel, very nice rooms great value for money. it is a tiny bit out of town but it is a lovely walk along the river and it is a 10 minute stroll at the most to town centre. the rooftop restaurant puts on a great buffet breakfast but the real winner is to go up for a beer or food right on sunset.

      Great location, good food, and friendly staff”

      Our room was good, and had a great view of sunrise and sunset, the rooftop restaurant magnificent sunsets, and good food

      We had a great time at the Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel, the staff were very helpful, although some did not speak much English, but that is not a problem, I don't speak Lao either. We particularly enjoyed the rooftop restaurant in the evening, with a few beers, good food and fantastic sunsets. Also, it is only a short walk to the center of town and the night market. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We will return.

      Great location and lovely place to stay.”

      Quiet, inexpensive, great staff, free internet.
      Breakfast.

      The Seng Tawan Riverside Hotel was very nice. The receptionist very friendly and helpful, the view fantastic with Mekhong River. I suggestd it to my family and booked another room and they love it so much. Such a quite and peaceful place. We plan to go back again on Song Karn (Thai New Year). I would recommend it for others to stay when in Laos. The massage downstair was great, but noisy because of tourists. The manager of this massage place should tell the customer to keep their noise down because most people are going to massage and need to relax.
