Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We checked in but only stayed 40 minutes. Everything was bad, but the cleanliness of the bed and the incredibly poor state of the bathroom made the room uninhabitable. Do these places ever get inspected by Expedia? I understand that I probably paid a 'no refund' rate in advance, but is that enforceable in these circumstances? I would not even give it one star. AH

The bathroom shower was dirty, and clogged up twice during my stay in 3days. The bathroom door was broken , bathroom amenities has no shower gel, shampoo or conditioner. Shower head looks like it hasn't been clean in years. The bath towels has dark stained, or yellow stained and the towel has been recycle maybe years. I book this hotel for 7 days, I check out in 3 days with out refund.

Great Location & Pool, Average service & Breakfast

Fantastic location and a great room. Very expensive though so expected a bit better service. Two guys on reception actually said "no" when we asked for bottles of water. We had to explain we would pay for them and that we were very thirsty. Breakfast was very average. We chose this hotel for its location and swimming pool and these were both great.

Two Nights in Phenon Phem

This was a nice hotel in many respects,it was not furnished to Western standards,no drawer space,only a lot of shelf space. Food at the comped breakfast nothing to get excited over.service was lousy to say the least.food allowed to grow cold,never replenished in a timely manner. The restaurant on the first floor was much better,and food was good. The lighting in the room was not as good as I prefer,again not to Western exspectiations. I may well stay here again,for the location on the river,and accept the dislikes.Staff also speaks limited English.

Confortable hotel facing the Mékong river.

This hotel is very well located, close to many restaurants and facing the "promenade"à long the river. It's a little noisy in the evenings cause of the numerous food stands along the promenade and the music playing. For those who are sensitive to noises for sleeping, better bring good earplugs. But we could watch the marvellous sunsets from our balcony.

Vansana Riverside Hotel best to avoid

Counter staff not interested best suited to work in a morgue where nothing is happening. Room had a good view overlooking Mekong River is the best thing I can say about it. Shower was dirty and the water would not drain away from the shower floor when finished as floor sloped away from drain hole, air conditioner was noisy and rattling all nite making it hard to sleep. Towels felt like sandpaper, Television reception was terrible on the old television set in the room. No coffee in room only a bag of tea leaf. Breakfast was cold and if you do not get there early there is no bacon as the tour groups which use this hotel come thru like s flock of seagulls, that leaves fried egg in the bay Marie some fried rice, chicken sausage, pressed ham (if you are lucky) and some spaghetti. Hardy a good meal as it is all cold. Plenty of better hotels for the price in Vientiane to stay. Would I stay there again? only when they pull it down and rebuild it and place a manager with some hotel experience in charge.

Stuck , usa

Internet is not important

In the first 5 min of my stay I asked for some help with the Internet. When the technician arrived he was not able to connect either. I tried to get a refund and find another hotel. I was reminded that I had prepaid by the hotel management and that they refused to give me any money back. I called Expedia three different times and they were no help either. Just a lot of hold time.

Støj fra restauranter!

En del støj og høj musik fra restauranterne udenfor hver aften - øv! Det blev jeg træt af. Men personalet på hotellet var meget søde og hjælpsomme. Næste gang vælger jeg et andet hotel i Vientiane....

Fint ældre hotel, med god atmosfære... er man / i afhængig af en pc eller tablet som skal være online regelmæssigt, så kan det ikke anbefales. Vi kunne dårligt nok uploade et billede engang i mellem eller checke vores mails...
