Stayed there for a few nights: very nice room fairly priced, very clean and pleasant. OK breakfast, nice and helpful staff. Hotel is very conveniently situated, right by the Mekong River and right next to downtown restaurants. Highly recommended!

Booked via the contact details on the web and the immediate response was a good sign. Try and grab a room on a high floor as it gives you a better view of the river.
Rooms are simple yet spotless and our room had a fridge and a small balcony. Wooden floors and a comfortable bed. Bathroom was also functional and very clean.
There are a couple of good restaurants within walking distance and a particularly good French one just around the corner called Le Provencal which does an astonishing (watermelon sized!) souffle. There is a bar which doubles as the breakfast room and the breakfast is quite adequate without being anything special. I seem to remember the breakfast area is open air without a/c (so if you don't like humidity you may have to settle for a coffee in reception!).
Everything is within easy reach and the hotel arranged a transfer to the airport which was no more expensive than a taxi and far more convenient. Will certainly stay here again.

the recently renovated lao orchard hotel has to be the best value in vientiane.situated only 15 metres from the main riverfront road ,this hotel does its best to hide its existance by covering its ground floor sign in vegitation!...chao anou rd is near the end of the riverfront ,yet has a handy supply of shops and travel agencies nearby. all facilities (no swimming pool) are 4 star ,there are 2 free computors and a small,but adequate,breakfast is provided in the US$35 fee..a walkable location for all major inner city sights and the american style JOMA cafe....if you are coming from the friendship bridge border crossing by taxi ($10) the driver will drop you off at the front door...VIP bus to luang prabang can be arranged at travel agency around the corner including pick up to bus terminal (bus departs at 8am) and breakfast is available from 6.30am...reception staff are helpful at all hours.....

This new hotel is great value for money. For US$30 we got a new well appointed room for two, breakfast, and a location right near the action.

Couldn't be happier. The staff even remember what room you are in - they have your key ready for you!
