I was quite hesitant when choosing this hotel because I saw the low ratings and complaints about it being unsanitary and having outdated facilities. However, I used to work in Vientiane for many years and knew that its location was excellent. It's close to attractions like Patuxay, Pha That Luang, and the 'Foreigners Street,' right in the city center, and all within walking distance. After comparing it with nearby hotels, I ultimately decided on this one.
The front desk assigned me a king-size room on the fifth floor, and I was pleasantly surprised the moment I opened the door. The four walls and ceiling of the room were sparkling clean and looked brand new. While the base of the bathroom walls and floor tiles were a bit dark, they were new tiles, not dirty or old. It's because the design emphasizes a brightly lit kitchen and a darker bathroom, so darker tiles were chosen for the bathroom.
The shower water was hot 24 hours a day, and the sink faucet also had both hot and cold water – the hot water even got scalding if turned up too high. The room had an individual air conditioner, there was an elevator to go up and down, and the breakfast was decent, although the variety was a bit limited and the same every day. But for a hotel in this price range, you can't expect too much.
There's a Chinese restaurant downstairs, run by a young couple from Hunan, which served good food at reasonable prices. They accepted WeChat Pay and Alipay, which was very convenient. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will choose this place again next time. I hope the owner doesn't raise the room rates!
