Amari Vientiane ★★★★★
"Stayed here for about 10 night. Tried all facilities in the hotel. Hotel is clean but on the last night Was told to change room to level 6 facing the aircon. The tv was atrocious with no connection to the football channel nor internet. Other than that location and room on 09 level facing Mekong river was great."

"Very good location however was quite super noisy in the middle of the night. The neighbors or someone outside watched some YouTube video with full speaker and it woke up me several times at night. I stayed only 1 night so I can not tell if i was unlucky or if it is often like that"

Riverside 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!"

JI Hotel Vientiane Mekong Riverside ★★★★
"This was my first time in Laos, so I chose the familiar JI Hotel chain. Their standardization is excellent, from service to cleanliness, and even the scent when you walk in is just like JI Hotels back home in China. A huge thank you to the Chinese manager, a Thai guy, and a local lady at the front desk. They recommended some great places to visit in Vientiane, helped us get medicine when we had an upset stomach, and assisted us with various other issues. They were all so patient and meticulous, and we never had to worry about being scammed. Overall, staying at JI Hotel in Vientiane felt very safe and secure! 👍 I wish all the staff good luck with their work and much peace and happiness!"
