Nice place to stay while in Vientiane. Location is good, rooms are big, bathroom ok (good shower, clean, little to small, door doesn't close). Staff has it moments, some are nice some don't understand that hospitality is part of the job. Breakfast is good and served in nice courtyard. Make sure you don't get stuck in a room with 'blind...

This is a very pleasant guesthouse (really, more of a hotel) in a great, central location on a quiet street in the centre of Vientiane. Within less than a minute's walk there's a big selection of good restaurants, bakeries and shops, as well as banks, massage, hairdressers etc. I stayed on the 4th (and highest) floor of the front building...

As long as we kept in mind that we were paying $26 a night we were pleased. The breakfast area was charming & the room was...fine. As soon as we lost the context of the price we wondered why they allowed a creature who has never used a bathroom to design the one in our hotel room. Seriously, the toilet... More

This hotel is a tranquil space on a quiet street in Vientiane. It has a gorgeous leafy courtyard in the centre where breakfast is served each morning, and very friendly, helpful staff. Our room was quiet and clean and we have no complaints about this lovely hotel. More

We stayed here for 3 nights as the first stage of a 2 week sojurn in Laos. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Internet access (for those of us who travel without a notebook) in the lobby. The guest house seems to be an old colonial building converted into guest rooms. Location is perfect, a few minutes from central... More

I don't understand all the negative reviews in here, I picked this guest house from hotelclub.com due to its price being not too bad. Visited Mali Namphu 2 weeks ago for a night, and it was a pleasant experience. Location: It was perfectly located within the heart of Vientiane, only a couple minutes walk to the night market, the fountain,... More

I don't know how my assessment of this guest house can so radically different from those who hold an opposite view. Maybe the rooms in the main building are older and not in the best shape? I stayed at the Malinamphu four times in 2010 and was always very happy with everything about the place. On each visit I stayed... More

Dont stay here, this hotel has beds ridden with bed bugs. Just looking at the clean sheets we could spot over a dozen. We were not the only guests to complain. A few rooms have been renovated but not many and most of the rooms still have old mattresses with broken springs and BED BUGS!!! It is a nice looking... More
