Hotels near Wat Dongpalan, Vientiane

As always, upon entering All Seasons, I was greeted by a lovely tea fragrance. The front desk staff speak Chinese and can also help with currency exchange and booking taxis, so the service is excellent. The hotel environment is clean and tidy, very close to the airport, and peacefully overlooks the Mekong River. The breakfast is also delicious, with both Chinese and Western options, which is fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel.

I usually choose hotels with a rating of 4.7 and over 500 reviews within my budget. This hotel didn't quite meet those criteria, but I booked it immediately after seeing a negative review complaining about the 'no smoking in rooms' policy! I absolutely detest cigarette smoke! It's fantastic that smoking is prohibited! First of all, I was traveling alone, and the room size was not small, and the cleanliness was also good. The service was decent, the breakfast was excellent, and the fruit was fresh. I'd deduct some points for the facilities: Although there was no window, the fresh air system made it not stuffy, which is a plus. The hairdryer was subpar, still using a slow 1000W model. I'd suggest sourcing some high-speed hairdryers from China (many brands available, low cost). The power outlets only had five-hole sockets. I recommend sourcing some panels with Type-C/USB ports from China, which wouldn't add much to the cost (you can find these easily at Huaqiangbei in China). The air conditioning was powerful, but even at the lowest fan speed, the noise was still significant. So I opted to turn off the AC and the fresh air system for a good night's sleep, as sleeping well is very important! Overall, I still highly recommend this hotel, which is completely smoke-free and prohibits durian. It was perfect for me!

Choosing the right hotel for my first trip to Vientiane was so important, and I definitely picked the right one! The Billion Hotel has an unbeatable location! It's just a 1-minute walk to the night market and 3 minutes to the Mekong River, making it super convenient for exploring food and drinks. The hotel is newly opened, incredibly clean, and features a minimalist yet sophisticated black and white decor. The rooms have excellent wet/dry separation, and the bedding is truly comfortable – I slept wonderfully. The front desk staff communicated flawlessly in Chinese, and their service was incredibly thoughtful, polite, and enthusiastic. All in all, I had a very pleasant stay!

A cheap stay, good for our one night only. Room had no natural light and the lights flickered. Bathrooms were fine and mostly tidy, shared with everyone else. No shampoo or body wash in shower and no towel provided. Breakfast was fine, bread and some potatoes with egg. Super central to the night market and close enough to the Mekong. Good stay for the one night only.

Clean and good quality hotel. On the downside, the air conditioning let a large puddle of water inside when it started to rain outside. At breakfast, where we arrived half an hour before it was due to end, the hot food had run out. The picture shows all the protein I could find in the thermal bath. There wasn't even an omelet or eggs available in the open kitchen.

A solid little stay: nothing flashy, but it delivers where it counts. The room is clean, bright, and quiet, with TV, AC, a hairdryer, a fridge, water and toiletries included. Staff are friendly and easy to deal with. Breakfast is simple: eggs, toast and coffee/tea. Not a buffet spread, but a nice enough start to the day. The bus station is around a 12-minute walk. A few things to note: there's no elevator and the stairs are quite steep, checkout is at 11:00, and the pillows are a bit flat. Not major issues, but good to know. Overall, good value for the price. Would recommend for travellers who just need a clean, quiet room without any fuss

The room was average, and so was the service. The environment and hygiene were decent, but the efficiency was poor. They missed my scheduled airport pick-up, and I couldn't get through to them on the phone!

A truly satisfying stay! 👍 The environment is quiet and elegant, the room is clean and tidy, and the bed is very comfortable. The staff are warm, polite, and responsive. The facilities are complete, and the location is excellent, right in the city center and very close to the Arc de Triomphe, making transportation convenient and very safe. The breakfast caters to Chinese tastes, and the front desk staff speaks Chinese. We were very happy with everything and highly recommend staying here!

Overall the hotel is okay, but the air conditioning in my room was not cool at all. I turned it on at 16°C from 6pm until 10pm and it was still not cool. I called the reception several times and they didn't answer. I had to go down and ask them to come and look. When the staff came up to look, they said they would change the room for me, which was very late and I didn't want to waste time packing my bags and moving rooms, so I didn't change rooms. However, I think that a hotel of this level should check the readiness of the room before letting customers stay. The Wi-Fi is also quite slow. Personally, I am not very impressed with the price I paid.

This hotel boasts an excellent location near the Mekong River, surrounded by numerous restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and clean, with complete amenities. The highlight is definitely the rooftop pool, offering beautiful views, especially in the evening when you can capture stunning photos of the city and river. The staff are friendly and provide attentive service, making for a relaxed and comfortable stay.
