We stayed four nights and would definitely recommend to others. Great location, a little noise from the markets opposite in the evening. Very friendly and helpful staff and the best buffet breakfast.

Awesome location. Close to many food options from restaurants, street food, bars, and Starbucks. All in walking distance no more than 10 minutes and close to the bank to exchange money. We would definitely stay here again and the staff were very accommodating and polite.

Clean hotel with extra nice hosts

Nice hotel next to river in Vientiane. The people that worked here spoke good English and were very nice and always helpful. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was quite delicious with a mix of Laos, western and Thai influenced dishes. The hotel is located across the street from the night market so very convenient to find food and do some shopping in the evening.

Great hotel, modern and clean, excellent location. The night market can be a bit loud but i was fine with earplugs in. Decent breakfast spread. The food night market is a couple blocks away and well worth it!

Great hotel with great view and excellent staff

Great location on the river right opposite the night markets and Ferris wheel playground. Fabulous room and staff were sooo accommodating. Breakfast was good. We had a balcony room overlooking the river and the market setting up and the night selling kept us amused. Does get a bit noisy with the loud music and sometimes the packing up (until 2am) of the stalls but just shut the door! We loved it. This was our first taste of Laos and we loved it. We walked everywhere and caught a tuk tuk once. The lifts broke down and the staff were very accommodating. It’s an easy walk up and down the stairs. Just carrying the bags the guys wouldn’t let us. They arranged bus to Vang Vieng.
