Calm and classy”
Had a great stay at Settha Palace to attend a conference in a nearby hotel. Despite being a little further way from the 'centre centre' of Vientiane, it was very well located. I was able to walk to all places of interest without requiring taxis/tuk tuks (Vientiane is small!). Staff were above and beyond friendly and helpful - very professional and always ready to help. I was very impressed. Gym and Pool were a great bonus to relax after a day's work. Thanks for an enjoyable stay at Settha Palace.

VIENTIANE'S MOST FRIENDLY HOTEL”
Fantastic hotel. Three days after I left the Settha Palace to go elsewhere in Laos, I contacted them to ask if I could come back for lunch and a swim because I was due to spend 4 hours lie-over in Vientiane Airport. They not bnly readily obliged, but sent their famous London Taxi, which is a signature vehicle of the hotel, to collect me and take me back again after lunch and swim. Great service. Great hotel. Lovely staff.

Settha Palace Hote Review”
We enjoyed our visit very much and believe the hotel is potentially a destination hotel and one that can cater to Thai expats that need to renew their Re-entry Visa's every ninety days. Our biggest complaint is with the pool area. There were too many local expats with ther entire families monoplizing the pool area leaving no room for the hotel guests to enjoy and relax by the pool. The pool attendants need to be more in control of the pool and pay more attention to the hotel guests. First, local expat babies should not be allowed into the pool without their diapers. Second the pool attendants should be more available when a hotel guest would like to order some food or a drink and afterward be available to clean the table. We noticed food be left on tables for hours attracting flies. Other than this major complaint, we believe the hotel has good value with a very interesting menu and very reasonable wine prices. We would recommend the Settha Palace Hotel to our friends if the pool management is corrected. Regards.

A heritage gem, providing comfort and service.”
Couldn't recommend Settha Palace highly enough. For anybody wanting to add a bit of luxury to their stay in Vientiane - this is the place to be. Centrally located to many of (walking distance) the major monuments and Wats. Staff take pride in their customer service and it is a great help if you need advice or something arranged. If you are lucky enough to stay there - enjoy.

Luxurious and amazing service”
Firstly the hotel itself was gorgeous. Was a beautifully conserved colonial French building, fully equipped with the modern amenities of a 5-star hotel. Very much the “Raffles Hotel” of Laos. The service was equally amazing. All the staff spoke English, were polite, patient, had plenty of initiative and were proactive in their service, but were equally respectful of privacy. We always felt like we were in safe hands, while in the hotel. The food was fantastic too, and while pricy, was a treat. It was nicely located in the centre of the city. And only 10 minutes from the airport. I think our trip to Laos was mostly made, by the time spent in Settha Palace.

Romantic getaway in the heart of the city”
The stay was lovely. We actually live in Vientiane and came to Settha Palace as an anniversary getaway. The staff found out it was our anniversary and sent a bottle of champagne to the room. A very nice touch. The poolside area is spectacular - quiet, relaxing, lots of shade, nice food. It was lovely.

A friendly and welcoming place to stay. ”
This was my third stay at Settha Palace. I always return here because of the lovely feel of the hotel and its location. It is a small, boutique hotel with a pool and gardens. The location is centrally located which means a short walk to most things and also far enough away to offer a quiet retreat. The staff are welcoming and helpful and really contribute to the unique feel of Settha Palace.

Colonial oasis in Vientiane”
Vientiane is not our favorite city in Laos--it has none of the charm of Luang Prabang--but the Settha Palace is the best hotel there and has a bit of old world charm. It is well located and attractive, and it has a nice pool area. The food is OK, but you do better to order Asian than to try for Western food. The house wine is undrinkable and comes from a paper carton like a milk carton. It is from France, but the French would not be proud to admit itl

unexpected experience”
Opting for a stay in the Settha Palace, it turned out to be an excellent choice: having in mind an arty restaurated classical building, having in mind the French cuisine heritage and the hospitality of the Laotian people, I have found in Settha Palace a beautiful relaxing place, full of charming features, beautiful equiped rooms and an excellent restaurant.Big enough to offer an array of sophisticated facilities and, in the same time, small enough to offer its guests a classy atmosphere of a private, exquisite villa, Settha Pallace is a wonderful place to stay, to eat and, more important, an excelent place to enjoy life.

just ok”
I should say first that in general I was not a fan of Vientiane. Having come from a beautifully restored boutique hotel in Luang Prabang, I found Settha Palace Hotel in Vientiane to be a less comfortable option. However, I think it is likely still the best choice of a place to stay in Vientiane.

Beautiful Colonial ”
Settha Palace can make anyone feel like they stepped back in time into colonial royalty! The rooms have all the necessities, nice, cleanly facilities, comfortable beds, colonial decor, and what seemed to be 14 foot ceilings. The staff is very helpful and attentive. The pool area is lovely to lounge by in the humid Laotian heat.

we go back”
spacious rooms, beautiful bathrooms with retro fittings.. the floor is interesting..black and white but the white is like albast from Greece..love to have that in my bathroom..nice rooms.. breakfasts were great, western.. not as diverse as we see in SE asia with some impossible dishes like fried fish etc in the morning..so ur breaky suited us very fine.. great pool...took long exercises there even when it was raining.. and last and most important: the staff was professional, discrete very "on the ball" and helpfull and professional. when i was swimming, they turned up with towels without me asking and i brought my bathroom one..in the end i was pleased with Vientiane: nice french restos and some serious wine bars/shops .. nice bycling in the city/village ..probably my favourite in the SE region for a quiet culinary outage in an overpopulated region..

atmospheric colonial hotel; heart of Vientiane”
Upsides: The Settha Palace is a beautiful, restored colonial building right in the heart of Vientiane. The common facilities like the dining room, lobby, and pool are a pleasure to be in while the rooms are of ample size and comfort. While the building is fantastic - the Settha is a fairly average upscale hotel. In Vientiane, however, "fairly average" means its close to as good as it can get. Downsides: Based on some historical data I've seen, the Settha has very significantly increased it's prices in recent times. While overall I enjoyed staying here, and far more so than at the competing Lao Plaza Hotel down the road (where I also spent a night) - I didn't leave with a great feeling of value for money. Hopefully that will change as Vientiane continues to evolve and more competition develops.

Good stay in centrally located hotel”
This is the best hotel in Vientiane, and I would definitely return. It is a historically significant building, and the rooms are quite spacious and feel like you are stepping back in time, even though the modern amenities are there and acceptable. 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!!

Great boutique colonial hotel in the centre of town”
Renovated French colonial hotel with great French charm. Not a party hotel and maybe not a business hotel but ideally located for touring Vientiane as most sights are within walking distance. Good bar and restaurant in-house and a nice pool in the garden. They told me there is also a gym! Breakfast buffet was average in terms of selection but coffee was acceptable. Bed was comfortable. TV maybe too small but reasonable selection of channels/languages.

Helpful and nice place to stay in Vientiane”
I love this hotel at the first sight. A few minute from hotel to walking to tourist attraction places of Vientiane. Love to go out of town by hotel van which reasonable price and comfy. For me, the shower was not hot and too many mosquito in room.

Tired & Living on it's Name”
Having stayed previously at the Green Park Hotel in Vientiane (which was brilliant), we were disappointed with our stay at the Settha Palace. This is a standard city centre type hotel with dated rooms clearly favoured by corporate clients. It lacks atmosphere and is poor value for money. For Lao rooms are very expensive and then they charge you for wifi which is free practically everywhere else in Vientiane. Drinks and food attract 'western prices' which again is galling when compared to prices outside the hotel. For breakfast they provide the cheapest of produce when elsewhere in Vientiane you can find wonderful croissant and baguettes. Essentially this hotel is living on its name and making no attempt to provide anything other than standard hotel fare. You get the impression they are skimping on things whilst charging you full whack. Give it a miss - there are better options.

Charming hotel with a flair of the colonial past”
Seetha Palace is the Raffles of Vientiane - located just a 5 minute walk from the famous fountain. There is a nice pool - and the service is good - the waiters charming - however - english language skills not that good. The room was cosy - and the bathroom well equipped with enough hot water. Internat access is extra - at a high rate. The trend is that other pricy hotels include this as part of the room fee - and I do thin that would be appropriate in this case.
