I regularly travel to Vientiane for my work. The Lao Office Manager thought he was doing me a favour by booking me a room at the Beau Rivage (I usually stay at the Lao Orchid). Unfortunately, he didn't. The place looks spectacular at first sight, but when you start using the premises, they turn out not to be very practical.... more

We stayed in the only room available. It was really large with a beautiful view over the Mekong River and an area where you could make tea and coffee. The room was beautifully presented and very clean. It was creatively decorated. You get used to the pink colour! It's probably the classiest room we've stayed in in Asia. The location... more

This is a lovely small hotel. My wife loved the pink room. The room was very stylish, large and spacious. Could not fault this place and great value for money. Get a room with river views if possible. The attached restaurant is very good and well patronised. The manager Gordon was helpful with no nonsense advice about Vientiane. And the... more

You have to try this place. The rooms are quirky but spotless. The staff amazingly kind and helpful - proactive even. The beds are perfect and the air-con is absolute bliss. Add this to the fact that they'll lock up your rented motorbike bike overnight and you have the perfect home in Vientiane. Even the fact that it's operated by... more

A charming, clean and friendly hotel oppoosite the Mekong river. You can have breakfast over looking the river in the cool of the morning. While it is walking distance to the city centre, it is slightly away from the main crowds so it is quiet and peaceful (but most of Laos is anyway). The owner is Australian, an affable chap,... more

This hotel has character and is perfectly located just a few minutes outside of the centre of Vientiane, facing the Mekong River. Rooms are comfortable, most having a view of the river, with free WiFi available in the rooms. Breakfast served in the Spirit House restaurant/bar next door - excellent real coffee and a choice of eggs, fruit, cereal etc,... more

Located in a quiet area of Vientiane. Situated along the Mekong River. Thailand is just on the other side of the river. They give you a liter of bottled water everyday. Talk about generosity! The staff especially the front office are helpful and would assist you in any way they can. The street is not paved so it is quite... more

I was given the option of staying at a much higher end hotel and this one on a recent trip to Vientiane. I chose this. It was very clean, conveniently located to shops, had wi-fi included in price, next door to a restaurant and bar. The rooms are basic, no frills, not excessively comfortable, but clean and functional. What more... more
