Very nice hotel for the price, includes breakfast and dinner, food price is extremely low compared to the west so a nice suprise with great quality. I found it odd that the table surfaces were not as clean as they should have been given the amount of labor standing around. Very nice experience regardless.

As soon as I arrived I was greeted with courtesy, smiles and a willingness to assist me by the staff. The property has been the best since i started my travels which has been 24 flights covering 10 countries in 1 year. It was extremely clean, spacious, had a bath and 2 showers and well within my budget of about £30 a night.

Excellent staff with excellent service.
Friendly and very accommodating staff. The breakfast was ok, pretty room but not so clean because the bathroom had smell and the tiles closed to the sink had toothpaste stains. Pretty good hot shower and great WiFi. If I’m going back to Vientiane, definitely I’ll book in this hotel because I feel safe and love the staff.

Hotel with the potential to be more than it is!
The hotel has a massive mosquito problem. On the first night I killed seven in my room. I did not have any windows open or my door open. The next day I killed several more. The hotel rooms have a very poor internet quality. For example, the internet strength was only 1-2 bars at any given time. This is even after I called the hotel staff to see if they could fix the problem. If I wanted to check emails or anything I had to go down stairs to the lobby and use their computers. There is no pool or gym. There is also a weird smell every time I walk in the room and even in the hallways. The breakfast is not very good. It lacks a Western cuisine options just offering eggs, toast, and some fruit. The rest of the food is used over food from the previous day and Asian dinner food. Hence, no breakfast options. Also, if you work with the hotel on setting up a tour please make sure that they are very clear with the price of the ENTIRE bill and not just portions of it. Overall the hotel is modern and the staff for the most part are courteous and polite. That is the hotel's only saving grace. If you can find another hotel for a few days in the city I highly encourage you to find somewhere else. I have traveled throughout the Southeast Asia region and this hotel is at the bottom of my list

Dear Hotel Guest, We are very sorry for the bad experience that you had to our Hotel. Regarding the tour that was organize to you by the hotel staff. The first day of your tour it was ok because the hotel staff organize it for you. the second day the hotel staff ask you if you would like to go to the place she is suggesting but you told her that you will confirm it to her, how ever you contacted directly the driver and the tour guide so it means you go for the tour on your second day by your own and it was not handle by the hotel staff. Regarding the hotel breakfast. Everyday we cook freshly food for breakfast and we are not serving foods from yesterday or we are nit serving left over foods. In regards with this Thank you so much and we will try our best to have more western foods on our breakfast buffet. Regarding WIFI problems. This is the problem of not only to our hotel but also all over the hotel in Vientiane. Yes we dont have any swimming pool or a gym because we are a BnB hotel. and hope you understand it before you booked through EXpedia. Anyway sir, Thank you so much for staying with us and we are going to do our best to meet the standard of our hotel guest. Regards.

Disappointed
Very disappointed, we were give a room next to lift and constant banging everytime the lift was used. Complained and was move to the next floor at the opposite end of the corridor, only to find very close to another lift, with the same noise problem. Also noise from what I can only guess as water tanks filling on & off. Walls very thin could hear TV from room next door.

Everything from our first step onto the property until getting in the car to leave the hotel was top notch. They really take good care of you and are very hospitable. They also speak very good english. The facilities were very nice, the place feels brand new. It has all amenities you would need. The bed is comfortable, air works good and has good hot water and water pressure. The breakfast each morning was delicious and had a wide assortment of food to eat. There is something for everyone. Additionally, the hotel is only about a 3min walk to the Thai consulate. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

I loved staying here. It is about a 5 minute walk from the Thai embassy so it's great for those seeking a visa. It's very comfortable here, the beds are up to western comfort standards. There is a TV with English channels, like the History channel. The staff was very helpful as well. Also, there is a bar next door that served delicious food. The location was really great and I felt at home here.

A Rare Occurence
It is very rare that I write a review where I don't find some little niggle but this hotel could not be improved upon. From check-in to check-out the staff went the extra mile to ensure our stay was a happy one. We met the owner and his charming and intelligent sons whose English was impeccable. The food was excellent ranging from a buffet (cooked) breakfast to haute-cuisine later. Security was paramount and a special key-card allowed you access to your floor only. The rooms were stunningly beautiful; well-lit; tastefully decorated; with a high degree of amenity which extended to a telescopic enlarging mirror. The free goodies included tooth-paste/brush and a shaving kit. On either side of the (kingsize bed) there were two swivelling pencil lights for reading; under each was a charging point for a mobile phone. The high-ceilinged foyer was home to a coffee and cake stall. The reception staff were friendly and helpful providing tips on places to visit; phoning cabs to ensure we made the most of our trip. I heartily recommend this place to anybody.
