Building work in the lobby was an initial downer. But after that, things improved. The location is excellent. We had a front room - 'deluxe' overlooking the river. The furniture and decor are attractive, if idiosyncratic. The room was clean, as was the large bathroom. Breakfast was alright - but generally the food was disappointing. Staff at reception were extremely helpful, and totally charming.
Location, decor.
Noisy renovations in the lobby during our stay
- Restaurant Tip : The 'Cote d'Azur' has authentic and cheap French food. It's just two blocks away, on the same riverside road.
Amazing artefacts at well-located, friendly hotel.Guest Rating: 4.3

This is one of the most interesting hotels I have ever stayed in, with the central areas and stairways full of well-displayed artefacts. The friendly staff and large, clean rooms compensated for the slight inconvenience of the noise from the nightclub next door. Extremely well-located near the multitude of riverside bars.
The rooms are large and comfortable, with the deluxe room having great views over the Mekong. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Some of the rooms are next to the bar next door, so you can hear music until 11.30pm at night.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Definitely worth pampering yourself at one of the many massage places in town - an excellent way to overcome any jet lag.

This is a good cheap option for Vientiane as it
is relatively central and occupies the middle price range between cheap and basic guest houses
and the more expensive bigger hotels. It is though
beginning to show some signs of age and lack of attention to detail, small things like bedside light not working, cracked shower head, etc..
Nevertheless good value for the money
Central, very reasonably priced, clean, aircon
and cable TV
Decor is beginning to fade and a lot of small things need fixing
