Le Luxe Boutique Hotel, Vientiane

An old hotel but a decent location . Rooms are large, breakfast is very spartan and that’s a generous assessment.

I went to bed one evening amidst heavy rainfall and woke up in the morning to find entire ground floor including my room flooded more than halfway to my knees! Idiot night receptionist apparently did not want to "disturb" sleeping guests and let everyone sleep. Many people had bags on the floor - including valuables such as charging devices, purses with passports and money, a laptop - which were completely drowned under muddy water for hours! If receptionist had simply awakened everyone to secure their belongings everything could have been saved rather than destroyed. Even in morning he refused to call manger to come early, nor did staff take any initiative to help guests clean/dry possessions, find other hotels, etc (cleaning staff busied themselves emptying hotel bucket by bucket). Seriously, what if it had been a fire??? We would all still be "sleeping."

Clean new hotel everything close by and convenient good location walking distance to almost everything

I don’t often leave reviews , however, this time I will. The good: air condition worked, room was decent size, the solo staffer at the front desk was pleasant. The BAD: Rotted food in the mini fridge, no room service i.e. no towels , toilet paper or bottled water. No shower curtain, bathroom water spigot either blocked or no pressure as the water dribbled out. Breakfast is pretty much non existent; Tea, toast, tomatoes, rice soup and some nasty looking chicken sausages in water. It was so bad , it was almost funny to look back at when telling friends about the experience. No, I would not stay there again, nor should you as you will be looking out the window at the nice hotel next door and thinking the same thing I was...” I wish I was staying over there.”

A great location close to the night market and across the road from Tully's Irish Pub. I was afraid that the location would prove to be noisy but far from it, at night the rooms were quiet. The pub does a great 'bangers and mash' which makes a change from local food. Watch out for the desk clerk who will arrange anything for you but at a greater cost than if you do it yourself. Tuk tuk arranged 85 out but 50 back without bartering, transport to train station 400 but arranged by travel agent around the corner 85 including train ticket.
