Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We checked in but only stayed 40 minutes. Everything was bad, but the cleanliness of the bed and the incredibly poor state of the bathroom made the room uninhabitable. Do these places ever get inspected by Expedia? I understand that I probably paid a 'no refund' rate in advance, but is that enforceable in these circumstances? I would not even give it one star. AH

The bathroom shower was dirty, and clogged up twice during my stay in 3days. The bathroom door was broken , bathroom amenities has no shower gel, shampoo or conditioner. Shower head looks like it hasn't been clean in years. The bath towels has dark stained, or yellow stained and the towel has been recycle maybe years. I book this hotel for 7 days, I check out in 3 days with out refund.

Støj fra restauranter!

En del støj og høj musik fra restauranterne udenfor hver aften - øv! Det blev jeg træt af. Men personalet på hotellet var meget søde og hjælpsomme. Næste gang vælger jeg et andet hotel i Vientiane....

standard for the area

i had no issues here, it was all typical. great options over the road for dining at night in the dry season. the breakfast is standard fare but quite well done. the pool water is a nice temperature. i used the poolside restaurant for one lunch and it was very good.

メコン川沿い

メコン川に面している部屋だったので、朝日、夕日ともにとてもきれいで楽しかった。 朝食もビュッフェスタイルで、フランスパンとベーコン、ドレッシングがとてもおいしかった。 ホテルから空港までのフリーシャトルも出てたので、とても良かった。

Discussing hotel

This was a disgusting dirty hotel The room was very dusty and dirty No coffee in the room Stained old sheets and towels Old fuzzy reception tv Supposed to be non smoking but ash trays in hallways full and never cleaned Halls had big stains on the rugs The noise at night was very loud ..with music late into the night The breakfast was by far the worse we have had and felt it un safe to eat Guests smoking at breakfast We did not stay the three nights we booked The staff unfriendly and useless If they had a health department it should be shut down No way a three star

Great Location & Pool, Average service & Breakfast

Fantastic location and a great room. Very expensive though so expected a bit better service. Two guys on reception actually said "no" when we asked for bottles of water. We had to explain we would pay for them and that we were very thirsty. Breakfast was very average. We chose this hotel for its location and swimming pool and these were both great.

Two Nights in Phenon Phem

This was a nice hotel in many respects,it was not furnished to Western standards,no drawer space,only a lot of shelf space. Food at the comped breakfast nothing to get excited over.service was lousy to say the least.food allowed to grow cold,never replenished in a timely manner. The restaurant on the first floor was much better,and food was good. The lighting in the room was not as good as I prefer,again not to Western exspectiations. I may well stay here again,for the location on the river,and accept the dislikes.Staff also speaks limited English.

Nettes Hotel in Stadtnähe

Alles ok. Weg von Hotel in Stadt führt am Mekong vorbei. Zimmer ein bisschen hellhörig.
