Hotel Khamvongsa

Perhaps the nicest, small boutique-style hotels I've stayed in during 3 months in SE Asia. When you factor in price, Hotel Khamvongsa ranks at the top. A modern-colonial feel, quiet, comfortable well-appointed rooms and a team always there to assist. The price.. beyond reasonable. If you like small, speciality hotels.. I highly recommend.

It is about time for a radical re-write of the enduring myths that persist in portraying Vientiane as a sleepy Asian city steeped in old French colonial charms, dozing on the banks of the Mekong. These days, the capital of Laos buzzes with the sound of heavy traffic and is choked with the dust generated by rapid construction as high rise offices and hotels replace the crumbling French style villas. But amidst all this frenetic development, Hotel Khamvongsa offers a glimpse of the past with its polished marble floors, dark wood panelling and rattan furniture providing echoes of old eastern oriental charm. The hotel is a quiet refuge from the noise, heat and dust of the surrounding streets and to top it all, the breakfast is superb.

Wish that I could have more positive things to say but money was stolen from the room during my stay. I therefore would not recommend staying at the hotel. Lovely location - right next to the Mekong river.

Un hotel perfecto para descansar. Limpisimo y con un personal muy atento. Habitaciones muy amplias y bien decoradas con estilo colonial. Muy tranquilo y muy bien situado en el centro. La unica pega es que no incluye el desayuno y modernizar el grifo de la ducha.
