We strolled into this hotel after dark so didn't quite realise what we were walking into, we paid $20 for a double air con room which I thought was fine as everything around here seems pretty expensive and it did include breakfast... Great. The room was clean enough and my main positive had a lovely pillow and no mould on... More

This well located hotel is river front facing and within close proximity to places of interest and restaurants. Price range is reasonable but you get a view, generous amount of room space and the location is on a quieter side. Recommended.

In a good position facing the Mekong river, this hotel is a reasonable choice, but a little bit of a walk from the main area and tuk tuks are quite expensive in Vientiane. The rooms are a reasonable size and quite clean, though the cup washing leaves a lot to be desired. There is a kettle but only green tea... More

Really nice and great located hotel. Directly at the Mekong promenade. Pity that at the moment when I was there, the road was closed due to the rebuilding and we had to get inside by sand and ground. Spacious room with big beds. Window view wasn't the best one, but it's not the most important for one-night stay. Enough place... More

Fair location about 15 minutes walk to Central Business District. Average hotel showing signs of needing a facelift. Shower screen needed fixing in rm 603. Water not draining away in shower. Room reasonable size with tea making but no coffee. Comfortable bed. Free wifi. Balcony with good view over Mekong. Good food in restaurant but slow service by young staff... More

Location is not bad - a 5 to 10 minute walk from the city center. Not far from a few good restaurants. Avoid the hotel breakfast and make plans to eat somwhere else - hardly any options and what there was, wasn't great. Mattresses were soft and wifi was free, but sometimes spotty. Pool area is small - am not... More

This hotel is very conveniently located in the center of Vientiane. However, stay in this hotel only if you can support a lot of midew in the shower area. Otherwise it is a quiet and relatively clean hotel.

The only positive we can say: great location. Breakfast was very poor, we ate in town later. Room was not very clean and out of date. Showering was nearly impossible since there was no shower curtain and it was difficult to avoid a bathroom flood. Very noisy due to the night clubs.
