4-Star Hotels in Vientiane

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 This is a very outdated policy.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 The room design is outdated.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.

I was truly surprised by the politeness of the Indian people. They were very, very courteous and helpful. I felt like I was staying at an ITC Hotel in India – very high quality. Mr. Girish Golani, in particular, took excellent care of us. Thank you so much for your hospitality. A 10 out of 10! Top!

Overall, a perfect 10/10! The location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. The hotel's decor is elegant, and both the lobby and rooms have a fantastic ambiance. The hygiene standards are top-notch, and the mattress was so comfortable and relaxing. The service is incredibly attentive, with quick responses to any requests. Facilities like 24-hour hot water and air conditioning run smoothly. The whole environment is quiet and comfortable, making it ideal for both a relaxing getaway and a short trip. I've already recommended it to friends, and I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to the area!

Our room was set back from the road, so it was nice and quiet at night. The owner is Chinese, which made communication very easy, and they were also incredibly friendly and helpful. If you're looking for an affordable and practical place to stay, this is a great choice.

The Four Seasons in Laos is absolutely breathtaking 🌿! As soon as you open the door, you're greeted with an incredible street view. Every corner feels like a movie scene – you just can't stop taking photos ✨. The service is incredibly thoughtful and touching! The welcome gift was a handmade pastry basket, and the turndown service even included a silk bedspread. The staff always had warm smiles on their faces 🙏.

The hotel has good sanitary conditions, the food is fresh, tastes good, the quantity is sufficient, and it is delicious. I will come again next time.

Choosing this apartment for my trip to Vientiane was a real no-brainer! Tucked away inside a residential complex, it's far from the street noise, with a lush, green courtyard, offering a quiet and pleasant overall environment. The apartment layout is spacious, with separate living and bedrooms, providing great freedom. The rooms are well-maintained and feel new, equipped with all sorts of appliances. Some rooms even have balconies, offering excellent natural light and ventilation. The outdoor pool is beautiful, and it's incredibly relaxing to take a dip after a tiring day of exploring. The location is super convenient. Stepping out, you'll find various restaurants and bars, and the Big C supermarket and a shopping mall are nearby, so no long treks for dining or shopping. The biggest bonus is that the front desk staff can communicate in Chinese, making communication seamless. They can also help with currency exchange and booking transportation. With 24-hour security on duty, you feel very safe coming and going. It's perfectly suited for both short-term travel and medium-to-long-term stays, offering outstanding value for money. I'll definitely prioritize staying here again when I'm back in Vientiane!

⭐︎Facilities⚪︎ ⭐︎Staff⚪︎ This is a hotel of a class that even Japanese people can have peace of mind with. I booked this hotel because I like retro hotels from the French era. It's quite clean, so it may not be a French building, but I wanted to stay near Patuxai, which was one of the reasons I chose it. I thought that a place in the 3,000 yen range would be okay for an old French-era building, but after doing some research, I found that prices were cheap and the security was at a level where you had to be a little careful, so I thought it would be dangerous to stay in a place that was too cheap, so I chose this one, which was a little more expensive. During the day, I was greeted by a kind but efficient staff member who looked like Sota Fujii. The request at the time of booking was confirmed, and I was on the third floor, which was higher up and had a view of Patuxai? It was the second from the top. The sink and other equipment were American something, and the other equipment was made by Japanese manufacturers, so I felt at ease. There were no clogs in the sink or shower. It's simple, but for around 6,000 yen with breakfast included, I feel fine. However, since I was leaving the country at around 11pm, I wanted to leave my luggage after checking out and, if possible, use the spa or a shower in an empty room. Late check-out was a perk, so I decided to check out at 2pm. I told the guy at the front desk, who looked like Sota Fujii, after breakfast and he said that the next customer was coming. I was planning to go out until check-out and come back to pack and take a shower, but before 2pm, they came to put the suitcase of the next customer in my room... I didn't think it would be that early... I hurriedly got ready and got off around 2pm, but the next customer was yelling at him, ”We've been waiting for 15 minutes already! What's going on with the previous customer!” I suppose it's my fault for getting ready so late, but the other rooms were empty so I wondered why they chose the same room...lol Maybe they're deciding which rooms to use to cut costs. The cleaning seemed to be good. I gave him some sweets as an apology, but he gave me a wry smile... (By the way, they were decent ones in a box that cost less than 1,000 yen. But I gave a matcha Kit Kat as a souvenir to the staff at the hotel entrance, and I was surprised that it costs 300 to 400 yen in Japan but 1,000 yen in Laos at the shopping mall) I left my luggage and went out again, and when I returned at night, another male staff member in his 30s or 40s had been replaced. When Fujii Souta said he would pay a certain amount to use the shower, he agreed, but he said he didn't know the amount yet, so I asked him, and he said he didn't know either. But when Fujii Souta said he'd ask the night staff, I thought, ”50,000 kip (just under 500 yen) is fine! Easy!” He let me into an empty room on the second floor. While I was taking a shower, when we were exchanging the payment, the staff member said, ”We have to clean up after using the shower,” so maybe it was 15!? I was mistaken! ? The hotel costs over 6,000 yen, so I left about 2,000 yen for the shower. I thought it would be 150,000 yen (about 1,500 yen) He said that giving 150,000 yen would be too much. He said 100,000 yen would be too much. It seemed like 50,000 yen would be fine. He said he didn't have any change, but while he went to look for it, I had some money on hand, so I was able to get it for 50,000 kip. But it actually felt like it was 150,000 yen... (My English is not that good, so I usually check with a calculator and negotiate) It's okay because it was cheaper. He also said he would call a taxi for me, so I asked him to and gave him a small tip. He said he called it through an app (cheap) and told me how much it was, but I couldn't hear him very well, so I looked confused and he said 100 (100,000 kip) would be fine. It ended up being cheaper again This staff member seemed to be just like the people in taxis, so I was annoyed that he seemed to be haggling lol Well, it's cheap, so it's okay. Since it was an app, it was like a regular Uber, but I handed the payment to the driver. I don't know how much the staff took later. By the way, the taxi from the airport was just over 1.3 million yen, so I knew it would be cheaper on the way back, but I thought 1 million kip was still pretty cheap. It might actually be cheaper if it was an app, but... I was a bit confused about that, but I knew the amount and they handled it properly, so it was fine. For sightseeing from the hotel, Patuxai is just a short walk away, so you can catch a tuk-tuk there. However, it might be better to find a place a little further away, such as the people resting on the street just before the park. When I asked the main people in the park how much they were charging, they were quite ripping me off, so I didn't even feel like negotiating. (They charged over 1,000 yen for a distance of a few hundred yen) The water, shampoo, and body soap provided were OK. I usually bring my own shampoo, but when I used the hand soap this time, it didn't lather very much, so just for reference. The bed is quite high, so it may be difficult for short people or people in wheelchairs to get on. The chairs seemed high as well... The balcony was lovely!

I've been in Laos for almost a month, and on my second day, I had an early flight to catch to leave the country. Personally, I found the hotel's location a bit remote; maybe it's because I was staying in a relatively more bustling area before. The breakfast options were limited and there wasn't much variety! The upside is that the room was genuinely spacious, with one bedroom, a living room, an open-plan kitchen, and a balcony. This building gave me the impression of a managed apartment building, with residents living and cooking there. The next morning, the elevator entrance was piled high with household trash. I think if you're a family looking for an extended stay experience, this place could work, especially since you can cook your own meals if you don't like Lao food. But if you're traveling solo like me, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Overall the hotel is okay, but the air conditioning in my room was not cool at all. I turned it on at 16°C from 6pm until 10pm and it was still not cool. I called the reception several times and they didn't answer. I had to go down and ask them to come and look. When the staff came up to look, they said they would change the room for me, which was very late and I didn't want to waste time packing my bags and moving rooms, so I didn't change rooms. However, I think that a hotel of this level should check the readiness of the room before letting customers stay. The Wi-Fi is also quite slow. Personally, I am not very impressed with the price I paid.
