Best Western Vientiane Hotel

The hotel is situated in the town area next to the night market. This has made it very convenient for tourists. The hotel has a nice ambience and the people we met are friendly. The hotel lobby is well maintained with many comfortable seats. The restaurant where we had our breakfast is also well maintained and the food served is good. The rooms are clean but the bed and the pillow are too soft and not so comfortable. less

Very clean hotel with super friendly staff. The pool is excellent however a few more deck chairs would not go astray.great location and just near some great bars and restaurants.overall very good value for money less

Located in a road with many restaurants and eateries and very close to the Mekong River where the night market is situated. Hotel also offers complimentary airport transfers. Rooms are big and comfy with a balcony. Smoking rooms are available upon request. What I really appreciate most is the fast internet connection. There is also a small garden and pool at the back and tables out front so you can sit and watch the world go by. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and are willing to go an extra mile for you. The only downside is the breakfast...considering the price of their rooms. Buffet breakfast was a choice of continental, american or asian and it included bakery products, baguettes and croissants. A year and it has remained the same...Cable TV was the other...Very limited English Channels and not even Channel News Asia... Housekeeping needs more training. I would definitely recommend this hotel for someone staying in Vientiane for a couple of days because of its excellent location and service though. less

First time to Lao Vientiane for business trip! Decide to stay near night market so we checked in here for two nights! Friendly staffs and fast checked in! Breakfast with set menu in American style or Asian style ! Great pizza resturant and eateries right opposite the hotel! Spacious room and clean bath room! Wifi is great too less

This is a a fairly old hotel (formally called the Taipan) that I used to frequent regularly in the "olden days." It was bought a few years ago by Best Western. They have renovated it nicely (hence I was slightly confused because they moved the location of the gym) - giving it a much needed modern upgrade while not losing any of the old charm. Rooms have wooden floors, are clean and have the expected facilities (wifi, TV etc.). Air conditioning is set to sub-arctic, so you may wake up with ice in your beard. Breakfast is tasty - but nothing special - just what you'd expect for an international hotel. Coffee isn't great though. The pool and gym are small - but do the job. Perhaps the best thing about this hotel is its position, which is very convenient. it is located right across from the best bar in Vientiane (Sticky Fingers) and a short stroll to the river and other bars and restaurants. Vientiane is a small place - but there are lots of good places to eat and drink in the CBD - and they are all a short stagger home to the BW. less
