We stayed here at the end of our trip around Laos and we were very pleased. The pool was great. The rooms and bathrooms were very nice. Breakfast was also good. The 4 poster beds were a plus. more

I have stayed at several of the classic colonial hotels around SE Asia, and this is a very good one. The building, rooms , pool ..... etc I thought were first rate. The service can go a little astray at times (but those who give a [--] review, please remember this is Laos, and not NY or Singapore!), but the... more

Have stayed at both Raffles hotels in Cambodia and Beijing and although this is not as big, it has a real old world charm about it. Can not believe some of the reviews on the furniture and decor, just assume these people are more used to the naf over the top decor of places like the Burj in Dubai and... more

The common areas including the bar, and dining area are from that period as well. We arrived early in the afternoon from Luang Prabang and promptly... more

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights on the first part of our Laos trip and booked through a UK travel company (this is one of a handful of hotels that crops up regularly on travel company brochures for Laos and is often cited as being the best hotel in Vientiane). Overall, the hotel has an old-world style Colonial... more

We stayed here two nights in early February. This is a nice, interesting, classic, old hotel with comfortable rooms and plenty of A/C and hot water. We arrived after dark and decided to walk out and look for a restaurant. We should have asked at the desk for directions but didn't, and ended up not finding anything close so we... more
