Nice & Comfortable Hotel.”

The Golden Sun Hotel. It’s a little old & worn but with character. Inside it reminds me of old Colonial buildings. Nice carved woodwork everywhere. Large open curved stairway to the 1st floor. A lift that works. Pools on both ground & third floors. (third floor pool is warmer.) The room we had was on the 5th floor, which was a very good size, large comfortable bed & was very clean. No Bugs, ants or crawling insects at all during our 6 day stay. The room was serviced daily. Our rooms bathroom had a bath tub with shower & HOT & cold water. The room had a small fridge & tea making equipment plus a TV. The TV signal was weak but watchable. The Internet is not very good, a bit hit & miss. I don’t think the problem is at the hotel but with there server, as the wifi signal itself was strong. The system kept loosing its connection to the server. It’s no worse than Thailands internet. What more can you say. The restaurants menu is a little limited as you only have western food choice. (The wife wanted to try Lao food.) But the food we had was very good. Those people who complain about this place should try a few other Hotels around at the price you are paying. I don’t think you will find one that’s as good value as this place. Like all hotels not every thing is perfect. But so what. Was the bed comfortable? Yes Did I sleep well? Yes. Was it clean? Yes. Was the food good? Yes. Breakfast buffet was great with many choices. Staff in hotel are helpful and always had a smile. Location is just far enough away from all the night life. If you can’t be bothered to walk then there is always the Tuk-tuks or a taxi. I found the best money exchange is a few buildings down from the Tourist Information Center on Lane Xang avenue. It has better rates than the banks. So there we have it. Would I use this hotel again Yes! Enjoy your stay.

The Grandeur of Days Gone By”

Our recent stay at Vientiane Golden Sun was wonderful. The hotel is admittedly a little dated but if you can look past that you can imagine that this was a very grand and opulent hotel. It is reminiscent of old China with beautifully carved furniture in the foyer, marble flooring, leadlight windows and decorative balustrading. Our room was comfortable and we had a balcony that overlooked the small street in front of the hotel so you got a glimpse of local life. It was within easy walking distance to many restaurants and the Riverwalk night market. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful and it was lovely to take a dip in the pool at the end of a busy day sight-seeing. The hotel has amazing potential to regain its full grandeur status but even as it is, it was more than adequate and we would happily stay there again.

A mermorable in Vientiane”

We have been to a lot of hotels in Asia and I have to say this was literally Golden sun hotel - the best one we have stayed at. Everything from the service to the food and the room were great. Buffet breakfast was so tasty. Manager runs the hotel very well. And also wonderful fitness center and swimming pool, Spa. They really looked after us being on our trip. Above and beyond our expectations. Certainly one of the best hotels in Vientiane.

Nice Room, Staffs professional, Good Value”

Just one night to extended my visa but i had enjoy in Vientiane Golden Sun Hotel! Really hope to get my holiday in your hotel in near future. Thank you so much for your service...! nice swimming pools, perfect breakfast with mix style, See you soon guys!

Charming and very affordable 4 star hotel.”

My room was not available when I arrived, so they upgraded me to a very big beautiful room on the top floor. The balconies are huge and provide a great view of the city. The staff were extremely friendly. But, make sure to put "do not disturb" on your door as they will clean your room early. My only negative experience is that they woke me up at 8:30am knocking on my door to clean my room cause I didn't have the sign hanging on my doorknob. I was going to stay at a 3 star hotel, but I'm glad I paid a little bit more for a great stay at the Golden Sun Hotel.

Exceptional”

.First of all let me say that the staff were very helpful and the most friendly in every way. The breakfast (included) was a buffet style with a cook standing by for you to order eggs cooked your style.I booked the Hotel Golden Sun after reading the reviews from other travelers on line and I am glad that I did. The hotel may need a bit of an upgrade by replacing the old carpets in some areas but as I was there they were upgrading many of the old style areas including the carpets' will be staying there again in January or February. I give it four and a half stars.

Centrally located hotel”

Stayed at this hotel for the second time after our trip from Luang Lrabang, the hotel was worth the price you pay and for the price buffet breakfast is included. We were upgraded for free when they found out it was our anniversary and they even sent us a cake to our room. The front desk staff were very attentive to our needs and check in was quick and without hassle. They even booked our forward flight to Luang Prabang. The hotel has two swimming pools and it was nice to take a dip in, they even have a free lemonade from 4-7 I think and it was a great treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Vientiane and wants a hotel that is reasonable priced but at the same time luxurious and comfortable

,Getaway in Vientiane”

We usually go to Vientiane from Thailand to fix our visa and we decided to stay here in this hotel this time. For the price we had to pay, the service and amenities were top notch. The icing on the cake was the staff, they went out of their way to make you sure they attend to all of your needs. They even helped us with our short trip to Vang Vieng. The breakfast was top notch and they had different dishes to choose from. Their egg station was wonderful and made the eggs you want according to your taste. They even offered us a complimentary airport transfer but the price of the airport service is reasonable for only $8 dollars. The hotel is under new management they are doing their best to cater to the guests. The hotel is close to the center and is just less than 10 minute walk from the Patuxay. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Best hotel ever”

I had a great stay at the Golden Sun hotel. I was offered the deluxe room with big balcony and it was wonderful. Spacious and extremely comfortable. The bed was great. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent. Will definitely come back here.

Hotel with great staff and ammenities”

Stay at Vientiane Golden Sun Hotel for 2 nights. Warmly welcomed with the hotel staff, who brought me out to money changer as all the banks have closed by the time I've checked in. Nice quite hotel to unwind and relax.

Fantastic hotel! ”

Great value for money - clean and spacious rooms. Staff were very friendly and able to help with all aspects! Great English! Breakfast buffet was fab esp for the price! We used the gym at a different hotel and it was very small and not great but able to use the pool there also. Easy to get the airport shuttle bus to get to the hotel (need to walk a few mins). No faults for this hotel would definitely stay again if I were to visit Vientiane!

Comfort and luxury!”

I stayed here with my wife for 3 nights and we were not disappointed. We originally booked a double room but was upgraded which was a nice surprise. We were picked up from the airport which was convenient for us and it was free. This is one of the highest buildings we saw in Vientiane and we stayed at the top most floor which was the 7th floor. The Patuxay and the morning market is just a few minutes of walk away. The staff were friendly and efficient when we need something. Overall, it was a nice treat staying in this hotel and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something that is reasonably priced and close to everything.

Short but sweet stay”

We stayed here for just two nights, but it was more than we can ask for. Take note that this hotel is in Vientiane, Laos and the standards are obviously different from Western Standards but there is nothing to complain about. The breakfast was sufficient, the rooms were spacious than most hotels in Southeast Asia we stayed at and the staff spoke impeccable english. We had no qualms whatsoever. There are bikes for rent for only a dollar and a half for the day and I don't think the location is that far as some people are complaining about. It is in the centre. If the want to be near the river then book a hotel riverside. This hotel is close to the main avenue and the Patuxay and just a couple of minutes walk downtown. If you want a good value for your money I would recommend you to stay here

very nice hotel with charming staff”

we stayed 4 nights and really loved this hotel. the rooms are nice and clean, they do have a balcony and the beds are really comfy! in contrast to other hotels the staff is absolutely amazing and you feel really welcome. everybody is friendly, helpful and up for a small talk, especially the young men are happy to improve their english. there has been recently a change in Management so they are improving, changing and renovating things. but nothing disturbs your stay. absolut great deal in vientiane!

The best Staff ever ”

We didn’t have a reservation when we checked in at the hotel since but we were lucky that there was an available room. We originally checked in for just a night but we stayed here for 3 nights total because everything was just walking distance. The hotel is grand and is being renovated and it has a nice colonial feel to it. We spent most of our time lounging in the pool which was refreshing. The staff knows the ins and out of Vientiane so you can ask them if you have any questions at all. They provided us with tickets when we wanted to go to Vang Vieng and we were picked up at the hotel. Overall we had an enjoyable time in this hotel

Great Hotel with Professtional staffs and Good Value”

My Room was very nice with great balcony and view, the Swimming pool were great for my relaxing and it is very convenience with all of the Staffs can speak English and i was surprise because i had stay many time in Vientiane but most of them can not speak English. so i definitely recommend this hotel to everyone who like to visit Vientiane, Thank you so much to make my stay were easy and enjoy!

Very good hotel”

Casually i wrong the date of booking so i try contact the agoda center but have just someone talk bla bla bla and then i call the hotel and they change the date for me. I really thanks them so much for this. This is my favourite hotel in Vientiane because is very nice with low price.

Great stay! ”

We booked this hotel because we liked the fact it has two swimming pools. Our children were with us and it was a nice respite from the heat. The breakfast was filling with a good mixture of western and Asian dishes. The staff were very welcoming and check in was quick and efficient. They even provided as a list of what to see around Vientiane. They made sure we were very comfortable with our stay. Overall we were happy with our choice of hotel

Great hotel with reasonable price”

I really like this hotel since the staff was very helpful during my trip there. Rooms are clean, spacious and the best thing is that they have fantastic pools, 2pools for real. Most importantly, the hotel serves Vietnamese food, and I definitely love this. Will come back there soon whenever I visit Vientiane.

Great 4 Star hotel for a reasonable price”

We stayed here for 2 nights before our flight to Hanoi. We didn’t see much of Vientiane due to the weather being quite bad but the hotel itself was great. The shower was powerful and the bed was very comfy. It was a spacious room with a balcony that looked over the pool too. The staff were extremely helpful when asking for anything they would do their best to help with any issue you had or query.
