"15-20 minutes walk from the bus terminal
The hotel seemed quite old.
However, amenities were provided and the beds and towels were clean.
There was a convenience store nearby, and the food stalls and night market were within walking distance.
The fruit shop on the same street was great."
"Nice hotel, close to the night market. Pool and second restaurant are on the top floor with great views. Staff was great, kind, and helpful. I'd definitely stay there again. I l9ved the way they decorated the place: artistic and tasteful."
"There were mosquitoes in the room. The walls were made of light walls, so you could hear the noise from the next room, even if it was just normal conversation. This made it not very private. The room did not have a refrigerator. The furniture was very old. Breakfast had only 2 slices of bread and scrambled eggs or an omelet. The advantage of the location was that the hotel was near the Mekong Riverside Market and many places to visit."

"The hotel is nice but the price performance ratio is rather on the low side. The room I booked was spacious, the furnishings a bit worn off. It seemed clean on the first look, until you found a rather thick dust film inside the wardrobes. The room was quiet, the water pressure acceptable and the bed comfortable but a bit squeeky. Breakfast had options, staff very friendly. Vientiane is not big so everything is in walking distance anyway."
"Clean and spacious rooms
Parking facility was at back of hotel - staff very helpful
Check in was seamless and easy - was a hot day and we were given a lovely cold tea
The White Elephant restaurant - food, drinks and staff were grean
The Tipsy Elephant staff were great as were our cocktails
The breakfast has a good range of food - hot coffee and nice selection of teas and juices. Staff were attentive
A good choice in the middle of everything"
"Excellent accommodation, professional staff and team with great customer service satisfaction. Management responsive and ensures everything was taken care of and beyond my needs. I would definitely recommend to all travellers and myself be coming back for all future visits."
"Nice hotel, very charming. Like an oasis of lush green in the city. The staff were very friendly and competent. Location is not central, but as we like walking and exploring, this hotel was perfect about a 30 minute walk to most places sometimes less. In any case it is only a very short taxi ride to anywhere. Breakfast was good. No complaints about the hotel and if we come to Vientiane again, we would definitely stay here again."
"The environment is great. It's a pleasure to stay in the hotel without going out. The service is very good. The rooms are large and fully equipped. It's a great hotel in Vientiane and worth recommending."
"I like the hotel because it is close to many important tourist attractions, including the Mekong River. Just walk a short distance and it is easy to find food. It is convenient. If I go again, I will book the same place."
"Although the app only booked for 1 day, I actually stayed at this hotel for a total of 8 days, I lived here during the loss of my passport.
In general, if you live for 8 days, the breakfast dishes will never be changed, so you will be a little scared.
Then I encountered a cockroach in the room, but it may be because there was a problem with the housekeeping communication for a while, so I didn't come in to clean during that period, and there was food in our room.
But overall, the staff service attitude is good, people are very polite, will try their best to solve your difficulties.
And as long as you can speak English, there are basically people at the front desk who can assist, but the night shift can't communicate in English at all, which is more troublesome.
If compared to the surroundings, this should be considered the best hotel nearby.
It is also very close to the city center, and the traffic is very convenient. No matter whether you want to go out to play or do things, the location is very advantageous."

Great
ゲゲッツーロボVery nice hotel. A small swimming pool, nice room, but above all VERY friendly and nice staff! Never met such a good hotel staff! The people are just so nice and friendly! Only thing to be desired is that there are too many mosquitoes here, I got bit 10 times. Note: it's 40~70 US dollars at the spot so sometimes it's cheaper than online.
GGuest UserI arrived Vientiane by train. There were two buses picking up passengers opposite the front of the station. One was a minibus going to the night market (30k kips) and the other was a public bus going to Vientiane Central Bus Station (25k kips). The minbus going to the night market was full so I took the one going to the Central Bus Station. On checking Google maps, the one going to the night market is the correct transportation to take.
It was close to 9pm when I arrived at the bus station. Note that the reception closes at 10pm. I took a tuk tuk at 50k kips (bargained from 100 kips). The fare was 30k kips when I took a car from the hostel back to the Bus Station to catch Bus 12 to Vientiane (Khamsavath) train station. Do note that this is a different train station from the station I'd arrived from. That station is used by the Laos-China train, while Khamsavath station is used by the Laos-Thai train.
The above described the location of the hostel in relation to the train stations and Central Bus Station.
As for the 3rd floor room (was it 2nd?? well, it was at the highest floor) that I was assigned, there is space enough for 6 beds (3 double deckers). My beddings were spotlessly clean. The aircon worked perfectly. The staff who had checked me in helped with my luggage, which was much appreciated. He pointed out to me the facilities too.
The bathroom cubicles and toilets are on the ground floor. They are clean. The bathroom cubicle i had used were without showergel/soap or shampoo. I did not check the other cubicles.
The common area is behind the reception on the groundfloor. It is air-conditioned and has comfortable seats. There is a water dispenser which dispenses cold water. Again, much appreciated.
In a folder on a desk opposite the reception desk contains information on transportation, fares and public bus schedules. Most useful!
The owner (i assumed he is) had kindly helped me call a car to the central station. He went out in the heat to look out for the car and bode me farewell. It is personal touches like this that warms the heart.
Yes, it is a hostel I would recommend. The 2 attached pictures were information displayed on the walls of the common area which i found useful.
RRachelKThe location of the hotel is very good, close to night market and all the restaurants, cafes and bars. It is clean too, just one thing for me, the blinds of the room are not dark enough for me, the lights may bother your sleep if you are the person who likes to sleep in the dark. Overall good hotel.

GGerasimburgI recently stayed at Vientiane BB Hostel and was very pleased with my experience. This is an ideal option for travelers looking for an affordable yet cozy and comfortable hostel in the heart of Laos' capital.
Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff. I was greeted with a smile at the reception, quickly checked in, and shown all the necessary facilities. The staff speaks English, which is very convenient for international guests, and they are always ready to help with any questions, whether it’s advice on tours or assistance with transportation.
I stayed in a Deluxe room by myself, and I can say it was an excellent choice. The room was clean, spacious, and very cozy. The bed was comfortable, with fresh linens. The room had air conditioning, which is essential in a hot climate, and a small but convenient bathroom.
The hostel's breakfasts were also a highlight. Each day, you can choose between an omelet, fried eggs, and two toasts. Everything is served fresh and hot, making it a great way to start the day. Additionally, coffee and tea are available for free at any time of the day, which adds an extra level of comfort for guests.
The hostel also has a great common area where you can relax, use the stable Wi-Fi, or chat with other guests. The atmosphere is calm and friendly, creating a sense of warmth and hospitality.
Another major advantage is the hostel's location. It’s in the city center, within walking distance of Vientiane's main attractions, such as Patuxai and the Mekong River promenade. This made it easy for me to explore the city and its surroundings without needing transportation.
Overall, Vientiane BB Hostel offers an excellent combination of price and quality. This place is perfect for those looking for comfortable accommodation with great amenities at an affordable price. I definitely recommend this hostel to anyone who values comfort and coziness while traveling.

GGuest UserThe location is easy to find, in the old Chinatown, the pure Laotian style and pure mahogany decoration is very unique. The weather in Laos is very hot, but it is immediately cool when you enter the hotel. During the stay, it feels like being isolated from the downtown area. It is very quiet, comfortable and relaxing. There is also a huge yard where you can buy a few Laotian ice beers to take a rest. It feels so good.
8888Clint888Friendly and helpful staff, with a flavorsome breakfast that changes daily. The gym is adequate to keep you active, while the swimming pool is large enough to accommodate many.
When joining Trip a perk was getting a free room upgrade. The room was small and so was the bed. It was not an upgrade at all👎👎
Inside was a small fridge, satellite TV with local, Thai, western and chinese channels. The hotel is located beside a shopping complex with a cinema, banks for money exchange, and western, chinese and local cuisines. Across the street you can buy a local simcard, and its also close to a bus station.
The hotel is priced reasonably for what is offered, and is mainly occupied by inconsiderate and rude Chinese guests I complained about the noise on several occasions and the staff were really lovely and accommodated where they could. I needed an extension for a day and the hotel was not able to accommodate as they were fully booked, yet on Trip it was openly available for a premium. I will be returning because of the breakfast and friendly staff😊

The breakfast offered a good range of options to suit different tastes. There was a mix of local Lao dishes and international favorites, including fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, and cereals. The quality of the food was very good, and the dining area was pleasant and well-maintained. It was a great way to start the day.
Staff:
The staff at Central Vientiane Hotel were exceptionally helpful and friendly. From check-in to check-out, they were always ready to assist with a smile. Whether I needed recommendations for local restaurants or help with arranging transportation, they went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and hassle-free.
