The Settha Palace is a lovely hotel set in a period property. But as others have stated here, it misses a top ranking for a few easy to solve reasons. The hotel is in the northern centre of Vientiane, about 5 minutes from the National Museum and a bit further to the Wats and shops. The rooms are very well... More

We spent 1 night here at the start of our Laos trip. Our stay did not get off to a good start as the hotel did not remember to collect us from the airport. After arrival and a longwinded explanation as to why this was we were finally shown our room. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The area... More

The Settha Palace is a very good hotel to stay in Vientiane. The room was big and the beds very comfy. The location is good for walking around in Vientiane. The best of the hotel is the restaurant (with open air seating) with excellent cuisine from a German chef. We liked it and can recommend this hotel for one or... More

We only stayed 1 night in this lovely, peaceful and relaxing hotel but we did stay in one of their very spacious suites, which was lovely! The hotel is in a beautiful colonial building and has everything one could wish for. The breakfast was excellent too. Location was good - a short wok into the centre of the city. More

if you have to go to Vientiane (which has extremely little to offer) then make the Settha Palace your home away from home. Nice transformed mansion, with a distinct colonial feelings, friendly staff, well equipped rooms, pretty garden and pool, good restaurant. A peacuful place (in a sleepy town). More

THis is definitely the best hotel in Vientiane. It is a small, old, very code hotel with very friendly staff members. We went to Vientiane for a long weekend and this hotel was just the hotel we were looking for. As said before the small colonial hotel take you back in time for some 100 years. The rooms are very...

Pool area has a few sunbeds10 but not enough for all who wanted them at times. conferences were held on all of the days we stayed so the pool area got overtaken by delegates at the breaks.

Looks great, but we really made a mistake coming here. Friendly staff, but they just assume you are loaded, which at the end of our trip, got rather dull. Extra bed was a hefty $50 (compared to $15 in Hanoi - this is a joke...) and its a singles couples place, and that is it. Great Breakfast and pool !!... More
