The rooms are not really clean, it's noisy and the staff is quite indifferent. The shared bathrooms were disgusting. For the same price, you can find much better in the area. It's quite overpriced for the value. We only stayed one night and that was enough for us.

This place is worth staying in for the soft beds alone. After sleeping on springy and hard mattresses all over SE Asia, these beds were amazing. It was mostly clean, the staff were helpful and the wifi worked most of the time. It was 35,000 for a dorm bed, much more if you want a private en suite room. Near... More

Not enough bathroom / toilet como's so waited 30 mins one morning for a shower. Seemed over priced. The daily water provided is boiling hot as its left in the hot rooms. You get two slices of bread in the morning which isn't worth it. The service wasn't great. You could find better.

We decided to stay at Mixay Guesthouse on our Arrival at Vientiane. It was a very cheap hostel for us. The room was okay, the bathroom also. But we were promised, that we have wifi on our room, but it wasn't. Our Electricity didn't worked. And we had to use a cold shower. Me and my boyfriend went out for... More

We moved to the Mixay after staying at a more expensive hotel opposite the fountain. The Mixay was much better value and a better room. We had an inside room with a window onto the corridor and next to the washrooms. I was basic but clean and comfortable. All you can ask at the cheap price. The hotel staff were... More

Stayed here for two nights in the dorm. 6 real beds, quiet, bathroom ok, clean, towel included. Good value overall. I booked the bus to Luang Prabang via the guesthouse and it was a good choice. When the minibus that had to pick us up at the gueshouse to bring to the bus station out of town was 30 minutes... More

We stayed here after reading the mixed reviews on line. The location is perfect for a wide choice of restaurants and bars, plus its right next to the river front. I think this place is trying to be like a hotel and has lots of posters stating its rules and regulations. Our room was alright, bright and airy. As with... More

We stayed here for almost a week and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It's basic but we had a double room with private bath and window on the second floor. Staff at the desk were great. The room was nothing special but every day the room was cleaned, sheets were changed and fresh towels were folded on the... More

We've been there in January looking for a restaurant to eat, and we were very delightful to come across the restaurant at Mixay Guesthouse. Absolutely fantastic! Great food at very competitive prices. Don't miss the Red Curry and the Tom Kha soup. We are looking forward on a next visit and definitely we will come for lunch and dinner here
