"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"

JI Hotel Vientiane Mekong Riverside ★★★★
"This hotel is practically brand new, having just opened in January. The facilities are excellent, and both the manager and front desk staff are incredibly kind and genuine. The front desk even taught us how to order takeout, though we didn't end up using it in the end – apparently, only Mixue Ice Cream was available at the time. 😂 The manager's recommendation for Khop Chai Deu was absolutely spot on. The hotel pool is a great photo op. Airport transfers are handled by a small minibus. Of course, the free self-service laundry, a well-known feature of the All Seasons chain, is also available. However, in the evenings, I often saw what were likely freeloaders with two suitcases, three laundry baskets, and occupying three dryer slots – some local residents. I really hope the hotel can manage this better."

ST Hotel Wattay Airport ★★★★
"Hotel near the airport. Pros: 1. The hotel is very close to the airport, allowing you to get there in literally 10 minutes on foot or 2 minutes by car. 2. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle service. 3. Rooms and showers are spacious. 4. The hotel looks modern. 5. Some rooms have a great river view. 6. Disposable amenities are provided (slippers, toothbrushes, soap). Cons: 1. The balcony was very dirty. 2. The breakfast selection was very limited, which is surprising for a hotel of this caliber. 3. You need to have $20 in cash for the security deposit upon check-in. This is a very outdated policy. After checking out, you have to wait for the room to be inspected before you can get your deposit back. 4. The room design is outdated. More importantly, it leads to discomfort. For example, the sink is so low that it's very awkward to use."
