You still can feel the ambiance left by the USSR guests. The renovated rooms are well equipped, spacious and confortable. Location in the center of Vientiane at the Mekong riverside. Abundant breakfast. The staff tries hard to compensate the technical problems of the hotel The swimming pool needs some renovation More

We arrived In Vientiane and were greeted by someone from the hotel for the airport transfer. They dropped us at the door and the staff were very quick to check us in an show us to our room. Our room was huge with a small balcony over looking the river, a sitting room, 2 televisions and a bathroom. We had... More

THE GOOD: huge rooms that are quite clean (Floor 2 for us), a good location and a nice pool (not an option in too many others that we researched). THE NOT SO GOOD: breakfast really did not cater that much to Westerners, muddy black coffee with NO fresh milk, neon juice which is sugared water, bread and eggs. Otherwise, Asian... More

This place should be shut down. It is run down, dilapidated and a bit gross. They have really grotty mats with the different days of the week that they put in the lifts. The breakfast was terrible-we had bread and dared not to eat anything else. The photos of the pool are on Trip Advisor must have been taken during... More

My partner and I stayed at Lane Xang for four nights whilst we were in Vientiane and we really enjoyed our stay. We did some research online and we saw that the other reviews on tripadvisor were quite mixed for Lane Xang but as it had a pool and it was in the centre of town, we thought we'd give... More

I began staying at this hotel around ten years ago but had stayed elsewhere over the last four years as it had gotten hard to book or was full when I tried. This year I was able to book a room and was delightfully surprised over the re-done bathroom in my room. And apparently they had installed noise reducing windows... More

Travellers with any respect for the folk who clean rooms, attend reception desks and clear plates in SE-Asian restaurants and hotels for meagre sums should be cautious about criticisms which - by weight of numbers - might endanger occupancy rates and employment. Even so, some things should not be allowed to slide and the state of this hotel is one.... More

I have been reading some of the other comments and there must be another hotel with the same name. I simply can not belive that some people find this hotel nice. We booked a excutive suite to me, my wife and our 2 kids for a price of $80. The staff showed us up to the room and we were... More

Our bus arrived a block away from this hotel so we checked it out and decided to stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff very kind. Our plane left very early and when we checked out they gave us a bag with a vegetarian breakfast, I can't even remember how they figured out we were vegetarian but somehow... More
