Great new hotel in vientiane”

We had the pleasure of staying 5 nights in the new Xaysomboun boutique hotel in Vientiane. Rooms are very clean and is the rest of the facility. Great pool for kids. Great location just a short walk away from the morning market. The hotel staff is very accommodating with requests. We'll be staying here again the next time we visit vientiane. One suggestion for the brekfast staff.... keep the coffee hot :) Thanks again. Steve Bater & family

excellent hotel”

Stayed a few nights in Xaysomboun Boutique hotel and I say it was worth the price! The staff was by far the friendliest and most helpful staff I've met in south east Asia! Absolutely love them! The room is quite big and stylish. Wifi is very fast which was great, breakfast absolutely delicious and the restaurant at the top floor where you also have the breakfast has a great view of the city which was pretty nice! They also have a swimming pool which I always use as it gets really hot during the day. they also have a gym and spa service so another plus! Location near to lots of landmarks so very convenient. overall, I enjoyed my stay here and definitely would stay here again! highly recommended 😀..

Nice Stay at Xaysomboun Boutique Hotel & Spa”

I have been to Vientiane again and stayed in the Xaysoboun Boutique Hotel & Spa which I had booked on Agoda.com. The room was very nice and clean, everything one needs is there and all is quite new as the hotel opened not so long ago. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful and speak English very well. Also the cleaning staff is very polite. Breakfast buffet offers a lot of variety of food. The location is also good, not too far from the city center which I reached on foot in about 15 minutes. The price was very reasonable compared to the many advantages the hotel offers.

Perfect break from backpacking!”

We were waiting for our Vietnam visas to arrive and had seen everything to do in Vientiane so decided to book 2 nights at Xaysomboun for a 'mini holiday' in the middle of a 3 month Asia backpacking trip. It was heaven! The hotel staff were always there to assist (even printed our visas for us), the beds were large and comfy with lots of pillows. The pool was perfect to sunbathe & relax. The TV was even equipped with Netflix! The only downside was there is no shower, just a handheld head over a bath (but doesn't reach high enough to have a proper shower), and the smell from the drains in the morning is really bad. The location is not perfect, about a 15-20m walk to the night market but this didn't bother us as we'd already spent 3 nights in a guesthouse in town. I highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for great value for money (I.e we paid $25 for a really bad room in town...this was $60 and the difference is unexplainable !!). The room also comes with a breakfast buffet.

Value for money”

We arrived and was asked to sit down. In some minutes the man from the desk came to us with some refreshments. Than he returned with the key and told that he upgraded our room to junior suite. The room was clean and , with cleaning everyday. The staff was helpful and smiling all the time. Breakfast buffet had a wide variety, both asian and western. Our group of 4 people was very satisfied and we’ll be back at the hotel Xaysomboun when we go to Laos and Vientiane.

Big Rooms, Very Good Staff”

The rooms were big and nice with good air-condition. Location was not far from the center and pretty close to landmarks like the morning market, patuxay and more. The hotel has pretty much everything so it was very easy to order food or even book tickets/tours. I've pretty much spent my time swimming and using the gym of the hotel. Also tried the spa which was nice. Staff speaks very good english and very helpful. My stay here was worth it and I'd recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to stay in Vientiane and have a relaxing stay.

Beautiful hotel”

Plus points- This hotel is beautiful and new. The staff are very helpful, when we first arrived our tv had sound but no picture the staff fixed it straight away. Room was very clean and had an amazing swimming pool for Vientiane. The shower cubicle had a leak which got water all over outside the cubicle, but not a big problem could easy be fixed! The hotel is a little far away from the main part where all the good restaurants area and where the other tourists hang out so The only suggestion i have for the hotel would maybe run a shuttle bus to and from the hotel to the tourist area, as the tuk tuk in Vientiane are expensive 200 Thai baht for a very short distance... it's not really a lot of money but we stay in Thailand and for 200 thai baht would get you a long long distance there fore we refused to pay!! But overall I would recommend this hotel. Great place

Perfect! :)”

this hotel has everything you need. They have a pool, gym, spa, bar, restaurant, amazing staff, tasty bfast, big rooms w/ ac, taxi service, bus tickets, visa, tours and just everything. I had no problems here and the staff were very helpful and told me anything I need to know about Vientiane. Location was pretty good and I really had a good night sleep which I needed after a long trip. I'm coming back to Vientiane in a few months and I already booked my stay here! Really good hotel :)

Really Boutique ”

Great hotel with French design, Elegance and good people around. All staff at this hotel are highly courteous, respectful and helped me so much at all times. The Jacuzzi at this hotel is marvellous to experience with after your day spent outside. Great tub, water jet in the Jacuzzi. Massage and Spa has very professional therapists for your relaxation. Breakfast items and settings are adorable like royals in Paris.... Large numbers of cuisines, fruits, veggies at morning available at breakfast. Hotel location situated centre of Vientiane and all walkable distances only. Hassles free hotel with great hospitality waiting for anyone....

Great Hotel for Family”

Checked in with family including young kids. There was a FREE Christmas Eve buffet dinner hosted by the Hotel for the guests. It was great. In the two nights we spent at the hotel, breakfast spread varied for each day which is good unlike others where there are no variety. Family room is very big and the bed & pillows are comfortable. The staff are amazing. They are very helpful and accommodating. Location is good and within walking distance of morning market, bus station, catholic church and Vientiane Center mall. A little bit hard to walk to Mekong riverside with small kids but tuktuks are easily available outside. Just be wiser when negotiating fares as they quote exorbitant fees. I must say my family has a pleasant stay at the hotel.

Great hotel in a good location”

After a really difficult time from arriving at the bus station and suffering a ‘rip off’ Tuk Tuk - we were ‘dumped’ from one of the awful shared TukTuk trucks 2km away from the hotel and told it was ‘up this street’ - Travel tip: ensure these Tuk Tuk drivers drop you to the door if your hotel in Vientiane! Suffice to say we were pretty annoyed and very late when we arrived but the warm reception from the team and the quality of the hotel was enough to get us back in a positive mood. The room was spacious and well appointed and we had a comfortable bed. Breakfast was good with good range of choice for western and Asian palates. The pool was a welcome feature. All in all we enjoyed our stay and already recommended the hotel to a fellow traveller who enjoyed his stay a few days after we left Definitely worth trying!,

Has Great Potential”

I was very impressed with the services, staff, cleanliness and "possibilities" the Xaysomboun Boutique Hotel offered, but was extremely disappointed with the fact that should you be hungry upon arrival or in need of anything beyond breakfast, you are sorely out of luck. Usually I do not harp on one flaw, but I found this to be an important fact overall. Even though restaurant hours are posted as open till 10 pm (I believe), after 10 am, there is nothing available and very little to offer in the nearby vicinity in the way of available food. I was provided with a map of the city and instructed how to find available restaurants which were a bit of a walk back toward the river, however, the directions had me going in circles. Needless to say, knowing this to be the case, I would at the very least know how to handle my evening meal should I stay there again, but when I asked hotel staff, they seemed unclear as to when or "if" the restaurant would be available for the future.

Quirky ”

Parts of the hotel were under construction when I stayed. You only noticed this when going to the swimming pool, it wasn't noisy or anything like that. The gym was small and basic, but if you do feel the need there were some Dumbbells and a treadmill. The breakfast buffet was extensive and set in a large opulently decorated dining room - think faux faberge eggs for your toothpicks. We did find it easy to walk into the main strip of restaurants and find the attractions without finding tuk-tuks or anything. Certainly a good stop over hotel... I wouldn't think many want to stay in Vientiane more than a couple of days as there are far more interesting places to go in Laos. Staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful.

Great hotel with helpful staff”

Would recommend this hotel - the staff were all very helpful and friendly. We arrived early and they let us check in! The location of the hotel was very convenient- could walk to the riverfront, bars and restaurants, the cope centre was only 15 min walk and the big shopping mall was about 5 min walk away. The hotel was clean and the room had tea/coffee making facilities, safe, tv (with English speaking channels) and hair dryer. the breakfast was fab - buffet style with lots of variety. Would stay here again when in Vientiane.

always nice to be back”

never disappoint everytime i come back to vientiane for business and work. not very grand but clean, neat and has fantastic staff from front desk, breakfast dinning area.. warm and welcoming. rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. the breakfast spread is just nice with reasonable selection of local and international. location is very near or rather on one the same road that leads to the city center, riverside and other attractions. highly recommended for the price.

Great stay”

The hotel was perfectly located for all the sights in Vientiane. The staff here are outstanding in every way. The rooms are large but do need updating. Our toilet leaked and it couldn't be fixed but we were moved to another room. There was a good choice for breakfast every day and the swimming pool was a nice way to chill out for a couple of hours. The lobby of the hotel is really welcoming and looked after but the rest of it needs a make over. This wouldn't stop me staying there again as it was excellent value for money.

A pleasant stay at Xaysomboun”

The hotel is situated within walking distance to all the eateries. The reception staffs were friendly and speak good English. They even recommended us to some good restaurants serving local and international cuisine, -Kualao, Khop Chai Deu and Lao Kitchen. Good food and reasonably priced. Breakfast is reasonable with a mixture of local but mostly international varieties- bread, cornflakes, bacon, ham, eggs, sausages and local fruits. The only downside is, there is no convenient shop around but then again, there are not many convenient shops in the city of Vientiane. The hotel sells water at the lobby but pricey, 10,000 Lao Kip for 600ml whereas you can buy them in supermarkets for 4,000 Lao Kip (1500ml).

Good value”

The best thing about this hotel is the two staffs from the evening shift. I didn't know their name but the lady is Laos resident and the man staff is Vietnamese. They are very helpful during our stay in Vientiane. The hotel breakfast is really good compare with the price we paid. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Xaysomboun

Very good”

The hotel was very nice and clean. The staff are friendly and very informative about the area. They communicate really well. I would highly recommend anyone staying there. I had an amazing time at Vientiane and the staff gave me great information. Out of all the places I’ve been too including Thailand, this hotel made me feel like I wasn’t taken advantage of for my money.

Nice one in Vientiane”

Cleaniness in washroom comes first for me when it comes to hotels. This hotel is perfect in terms of washroom, bedroom and location. Staffs are extra nice. Will highly recommend this hotel if someone's considering to stay in Vientiane which is not a decent city
