    AC not great, even at 16ºC. No fridge in room, but I knew that prior to booking. I'm not sure it is the best value accommodation in Vientiane. Relatively higher in price than some others and I have stayed in larger, better equipped accommodation for less just three months prior.

    Booked a second stay here in the same week as I travelled out of Vientiane for a couple of days mid-week. Different room, same quality as before. Laundry service was cheap and I was able to leave it with them to complete while I was away between stays.

    Very convenient city location
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room

    The AC did the job, but even on the lowest setting of 16ºC I can't say it felt "cold". Seems decent AC is hard to find in Laos generally. Took some time to cool the room down, noticeable during peak ASEAN summer in April. I knew before booking, so not fair not reducing my rating. But no refrigerator in the room, which is less convenient and means room temperature water bottles. I also knew this prior to booking, but I prefer to have a shower screen or curtain for the shower in the bathroom. Not a deal-breaker, but I feel it is better than having wet bathroom floors when the bathroom is not specifically a wet area.

    Great location right in the centre of town and close to everything that's good in Vientiane. An older building with some character and charm, but everything works, staff are helpful, breakfast is adequate for $US5 and served promptly. Beds are firm, but this is common around Asia and no problem for me. You also only get a top sheet for bedding, but this is also conventional in this region.

    Room advertised with a balcony and view. There was technically a balcony but not useable and no view. Possible higher floors do?. I was on 3rd floor. Some facilities unnecessarily cheap - like coat hangers

    Twin room was large with dark wood floors and furnishing, Aircon and ceiling fan. The location was close to the main restaurant areas but not on a crowded street. As room set back from the road it was quiet. Porter service provided.

    Nothing! Just be aware that there is no lift, so you will have to take the stairs up (staff helped us with our bags); breakfast is not included but is available for $5 at the quiet cafe that’s part of the hotel.

    Lovely old building with lots of character, comfortable room with good air conditioning (much needed as it was over 40C!) and friendly staff who were very helpful in arranging things for us. It was Laos new year while we there, and this felt like a sanctuary from the parties taking place across the city!

    Aircon was struggling a little to cool the room, but to be fair to the hotel it was unusually warm during our stay due to a regional heatwave!!

    Good Location, close to the riverfront and night market with plenty of places to eat/drink/get coffee nearby. Staff were really friendly. The rooms have a pretty traditional decor (as we expected from the photos) which seems appropriate for Laos - but some might find a little dark. Hotel was calm and quiet and reasonable two night's sleep. Breakfast was nicely presented and perfectly adequate (for us!)

    An elevator would have been nice but walking up the wide colonial stairway offset this. The staff helped in carrying the bags up and down.

    The hotel building is of a colonial style, maybe of French origin, with high ceilings - The French colonial influence I wanted to experience in Vientiane.. The ground floor had the entrance/reception area and a restaurant with nice timber decor. Behind this leading to the rooms is an atrium area. The building doesn't have an elevator and stairway was wide, even ornate. There were three of us travelling so I booked the large room on the upper floor. The room was airconditioned and had a two French doors leading onto a small balconies and a mezzanine with a double bed. The decor was of the colonial style matching the building and was well kept. The staff were very helpful and the location was close to the night market. We had a pleasant stay.

    Observed from the busy street, the hotel appears not particularly luxurious, but by entering, what you see and feel is a very pleasant and peaceful atmosphere and a well maintained interior, which invites you to relax and enjoy the stay. Hotel Khamvongsa is like a calm oasis in the busy and noisy town.

    It was a really aesthetic hotel, with a beautiful design. We felt really comfortable. It was very clean, our room was really big and beautiful and the hotel staff was really friendly and kind, especially our driver to the airport. It was close to the night market and bus station. Everything was in walking distance. We were really happy with our stay :)
