fair enough but a bit far from town

The hotel is OK in many ways, but the breakfast was terrible, as if they didn’t care. Since Europeans book in there they should really try harder. Building B is in much better decorative order than A. A very quiet area at night, it is just that bit too far from the centre of town. Café Sinouk opposite is a real plus though.

Affordable & nice

The hotel was close to a lot of restaurant or choices of foods to eat. Near a mini store. Close to the Thai embassy. Breakfast was nice. Room was spacious and clean. Had taxi cabs and tuk tuk near by. Customer service was friendly. Only thing I'd change is the bed. The bed was big, but hard, like box spring hard. Pillow was too firm. All and all still manageable. I would come back.

Good hotel, fantastic staff.

Nice hotel right next to Thai embassy. Rooms are big, breakfast is a very generous buffet. The management is absolutely amazing. They did everything they could to help us when we run into some trouble during our stay. (Trouble not connected to the hotel) I can highly recommend this place they really shine if you need some assistance during your stay.

Old, tired and dirty.

Cigarette smell lingered in the entire hotel, despite being a non-smoking room hotel. Had to change rooms 3 times. First due to someone having smoked in the room and butts were visible on the ledge in front of the window. Second room faced a ongoing construction next door and broken aircon. 3rd room was ok, but cigarette smell lingered in through what seem either ventilation or floors. It feels like this hotel has never been cleaned. Windows were stained, doors and mirror in bath room were dirty. Nearly every tile was dirty or cracked or loose. Doors open and close with a loud bang, echoing through out the entire floor. WiFi was bad. Breakfast was barely passable. Its beyond how it can be called 3 star. If 3 star is about 60% of 5 star, then this could not be in reality more then 1 star. Cabins in wilderness are more comfortable. Only thing positive I can say, is the front desk managers did respond positively to my complaints and did move me to new rooms. A hotel to be avoided.

I was very satisfied. Service could not have been better. Breakfast was excellent. Not located in the heart of the tourist area, but for my purpose (business at the Thai embassy), the location was perfect. There are plenty of tuk-tuks to taxi you where you want to go. The building shows some age, but was clean. The bed is hard - typical for Thailand also. Overall very satisfied and would recommend to any practically-minded traveler. Booking on hotels.com took away some worry also - I didn't have to present credit card at hotel at all.

Good hotel for Thai consolart, can save money from airport by getting the airport bus island taking a 15 walk to the hotel if u r traveling light, Vientiane is nice to spend a few days, can walk around the main places easily. Vientiane is a good place to get a tourist visa for Thailand and this hotel is the closest to the Thai consulate.

The bathroom was disgusting.... the shower still had the soap in the shower from the previous guest. There was hair in the shower and floor in the bathroom.

The free breakfast was so so....

There was no coffee in the rooms as it SAYS IN THEIR ADVERTISEMENT OF THE HOTEL. We asked for some, and they said they didn't give it out other than for breakfast.

There was also no tea.... again which was advertised that they had this for guests in the rooms.

Hotel Vientiane\n

The hotel is very close to the Thai embassy, and is the only reason for staying there.

Very few conveniences offered but a simple breakfast included, nice cold fried eggs for instance. Staff can be convinced to specially fry a new hot one for you, but this is not on general offer.

Hot water is abysmal and bathrooms very poorly designed, meaning that after a tepid shower the whole floor is wet.

OK hotel, across the road from Thai Consulate.

Check in no fuss and prompt.

Se Asian bathroom, use the shower and walk through wet floor to toilet from then on. The shower either wet the toilet paper, towels or the door depending on the aim. The shower rose was almost not functioning, water was issued in thick streams.

No room strongbox.

No coffee/tea making facility.

Breakfast was cold eggs sausages and SE Asian food. You won't starve but for me, Australian, a bit ordinary.

I stayed with my wife and daughter for three nights to attend the Thai consulate. The hotel was inexpensive and did its job, maybe a bit unfair of me to compare it to my usual various accommodations.

Getting a Thai Visa

This hotel is great for getting your Thai Visa. It is Right across the street from the Thai Embassy. It allows you to be first in line (which is important) on the first day. Easy to get to by telling anyone at the airport that you are going to get your Thai Visa Extension

The Wifi in room is spotty, it all depends how close you are to the nearest router. I could get signal near my door. The speed was sub par.

The AC worked fine, and shower was surprisingly nice.

Breakfast is from 630 to 930, allowing you to get your visa done and eat breakfast afterwards. There is a good outdoor low key place directly across from the embassy that serves good Laos food.

The bed was standard cheap hotel hard, but comfortor was nice. Room was clean. The free bottles of water were quite nice. There is also a fridge you can use.

Surved it's purpose

Chose hotel due to location as it is close to Thai Consular Department where visas are issued. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. The room wasn't properly cleaned when I got there as there was some rubbish in the wastebaskets and also some curtains in the closet. I had some trouble with the AC as it would switch off by itself after a while and was generally hard to control with the remote control. They tried to fix this and they did initially but it ended up being the same after a while. They said they would have moved me to a different room, but I didn't stay at the hotel long enough.

Only stay here for Thai visa runs

The hotel itself is OK. Medium standard, acceptable. The breakfast is boring and anything but tasty. The sausages were cold, although the eggs were warm. The breakfast room staff did not speak much English.

The Internet connection was horrible. A pathetic excuse. I could barely open my email. Forget reading news, because the pages timed out before they could finish downloading. And I could not access my own website. It would have been better if they did not offer an Internet connection, because now people will go there with an expectation that isn't met. It would even be better to charge extra for a faster connection.

I'm far from the only one who have criticised them for the slow connection. So unless the hotel management get a kick out of annoying their guests, they should really do something about this.

The only really good thing about this hotel is the nearness to the Thai visa division. It is too far from the city centre to be good for tourism.

Good place to stay visiting the Thai Embassy

I was very happy with the location. It is right across the street from the Thai Embassy. As I was in Lao for a new Thai visa the location was perfect. There was always a member of the staff at the desk who spoke English, another plus. The breakfast was good quality, however the fresh fruit was gone after 8 am. The menu was Asian, it would have been nice if there was some bacon for westerners. There is a Pizza Company restaurant on the block and a Lao Bakery/coffee shop across the street that served good Italian food. A mini mart that is very poorly marked in the office building ground floor on the block across the street. All in all enough choices to keep you there with out going downtown in a tuk tuk. The cable tv was great, many English speaking channels including HBO anf Fox Movies.

숙박에 큰 어려움이 없었어요. 카드키 인식이 잘 되지 않았지만, 큰 문제는 아니었어요. 온수도 충분히 나오고 냉방도 좋았어요. 하지만 샤워기는 교체가 필요합니다.
조식은 쌀국수와 계란요리, 그리고 커피가 일품이었어요. 하지만 일부음식은 조리한 지 오래되어 신선도가 떨어졌습니다.
대체로 만족했어요.

한국 식당과 마사지가 있는 가성비 괜찮은 호텔. 출장등에 추천.

라오스내 유명 한국기업인 KOLAO 인근에 위치한 호텔. 주위에 한국 식당 2군데와 한국식 마트가 있습니다. 인근에 마사지 샵도 있습니다.

1. 가성비로는 좋은 호텔입니다.
1인실이 220,000낍이고요. 조금 넓은 VIP? 가 40$ 수준..
2. 라오스가 전반적으로 그렇듯 침구와 수건이 세탁은 잘 되어 있으나 약간의
끕끕함(?)이 조금 있습니다.
3. 조식은 빵+쌀국수, 과일, 죽, 볶음밥, 계란 후라이, 삶은 계란, 과일 주스, 커피
정도입니다. 06:30부터..
4. 냉장고에 물이 들어가 있지 않아서 시원한걸 찾으시면 로비옆 매점에서 사야합니다.
5. 가까운데에 한국 식당 2곳, 한국식 마트 1곳, 커피숍 2곳, 마사지 3~4곳 정도가 있습니다.
6. 로비에서는 간단한 영어 대화는 가능합니다.
7. 와이파이 신호는 좋으나 라오스 특성상 속도는 좀.. 낮습니다.
8. 치약,칫솔,샴프 제공해주는데, 가끔 없는방도 있습니다. 라오스는 한국에서 미리 준비해 가는걸 추천,,,

가족이나 연인에게는 좀 추천하기가 그렇고요... 출장이나 배낭객에게는 추천할만 합니다.
