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.

Great location: across the road from the night market, night food market, and Mekong River. Walking distance to other facilities eg bank/currency exchange, restaurants/cafes. Room very spacious but felt that it could have been used for a larger wardrobe or shelves. Bathroom layout was poor; shower didn’t have a proper screen so the water went onto the bathroom floor. Not good for those wanting an early sleep as there is booming music playing from the night markets.

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.
