5-Star Hotels in Vientiane

I had a wonderful stay at Wanda Vista. The room was comfortable and well-appointed, and I loved the toiletries with their light floral scent very fitting for the tropical climate. Breakfast offered a great selection, especially the Lao coffee and the assortment of breads, which were delicious. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and Ms. Wu in particular was incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Settha Palace Hotel during my visit to Vientiane, and overall, it was a decent experience with a mix of positives and areas for improvement. The hotel’s location is definitely one of its biggest strengths. It’s right in the middle of everything, close to the river and within easy reach of the main Songkran celebration areas, which made getting around very convenient. The property itself has a charming Lao-French colonial style. While it is an older hotel, it has been maintained reasonably well and retains a certain classic character. The staff were excellent, professional, friendly, and always willing to assist, which added positively to the stay. However, the room was somewhat disappointing. While the minibar was well stocked, basic amenities were missing, not even essentials like a toothbrush or shampoo were provided, which was surprising for a hotel of this category. There were also some maintenance issues: the bathroom had leaking pipes, and the air conditioning wasn’t working initially, though to their credit, they promptly sent a technician to fix it. The pool area is visually quite pleasant, surrounded by greenery, giving it a relaxing vibe. That said, there were quite a few frogs around the pool, which became a bit irritating. While I personally didn’t mind, some other guests, especially European travelers, were clearly uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a good property with great location and strong potential, but it could significantly improve with better room maintenance and attention to guest amenities.

We stayed here when traveling back via Vientiane airport. So we only stayed for one short night. I have a mixed feedback Very positive: The staff is really friendly, helpful and also spoke very good English; the pickup from train station and transfer to airport worked very smoothly and was easy to arrange. Also the breakfast was quite delicious. The outdoor facilities like pool and surroundings also very well maintained and beautiful arranged. Not positive/ convincing The room itself are just old and outdated. Old facilities, used, not modernized. Just from a different area. I can't say not clean but you also don't have the impression everything very clean as it just ”used up”. We have been in Laos in some hotels, unfortunately I need to say this one did not meet the others and this mainly due to the rooms Location is okay. Not in the old quarter but more in the modern / new city part. Depends what is preferred.

Every time I have a layover in Vientiane, Laos, I stay here. The shuttle service is incredibly convenient. The breakfast starting at 6:30 AM also gives me enough time to catch my domestic flight from the airport. I'll definitely keep staying here in the future. This time I got a membership card that I can recycle, but I'm not sure how to use it?

Facilities: Modern Cleanliness: Excellent, highly recommended Ambiance: Peaceful and quiet, not noisy Service: Very good, excellent Came here for a business trip, it was great, and the service was good too. Includes 2 vouchers for rooftop bar beers (with snacks): Yes Includes a coffee or juice: Yes Laundry service provided: Yes 😎

Le Seine is beautifully located facing the Mekong River, offering, in my view, the best riverfront scenery in Vientiane. The hotel is within walking distance of the night market and many of the city’s main attractions. The rooms and overall property are very well curated, fully in line with a boutique hotel experience. Nice facilities, comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and excellent showers. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. The rooftop bar is also a highlight, with live music and a fantastic view over the river. The only negative note was regarding my advanced reservation for a higher-floor Deluxe River View room. As this was a special occasion, I had even called a couple of days prior to confirm availability and specifically requested a room on the 3rd or 4th floor. However, despite arriving at the earliest check-in time, I was informed that all rooms of that category on the higher floors had already been assigned and were no longer available.

I had a great experience here — the property is very nice, the room was spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. The front desk staff went out of their way to help me by printing a few documents I needed, which I really appreciated. Would definitely stay again!

Great quality at affordable prices (~$70 per night).

The reason we choose this hotel was it was closer to train station and offered free drop off service. The hotel is located at outskirts of Vientiane and so it took some time to get there. The breakfast had mostly Chinese food. The swimming pool and area around the hotel was nice, especially at the evening after hot day. The reception person didn’t speak English but with the English-Chinese translation app, there was no problem of communicating. There was a strange smell so the reception called the repair man who has cleaned the airconditioner dust and it cleared the air.

Nice & clean facilities. Front desk was very helpful. Not a fan of the $100 security deposit but I understand. Always double check your room(s) for previous damage(s) as it may count against your security deposit. My room had a sofa seat that had one of the 4 legs damaged and my brother-in-law's room had one of the sofa seat with a dirty stain so please be very advised. We had it reported so it wouldn't count against us. Morning breakfast was good. Loved the variety of food choices. Overall, our stay was pleasant and we wouldn't mind staying here again.
