The first time I stayed here, I booked the duplex room. It did not disappoint. Thought it was about US100 per night, it was great value in that there was a full living area plus a kitchen on the first floor and a king bed in the loft. Overall everything was in good order. The second time I stayed, I... More

Beautiful hotel and comfortable room. Major let down was the staff, including management, who all appeared unfriendly, inattentive and aloof. There were no sense of personalised hospitality, spontaneous greetings or eye contact by staff, we had to initiate throughout our three night stay. Shame as everything else about this hotel was lovely.

We found the staff to be exceptional and many spoke English very well. Hotel as noted in many reviews is well appointed, clean and affordable. No problems ordering extra coffee or tea at breakfast. Front desk offered great tips on sight seeing and restaurants. Our room faced the rear. Not very good scenery but quiet. We used the hotel transfer... More

We stayed at the khamvongsa for three nights in total and overall were happy with our stay, points to mention however; Beds are not comfortable and you can feel the springs in the mattress, not too good for the back! Our room leaked rain through the windows with a heavy shower, it flooded across the floor Breakfast was nice, the... More

We had a good time at this hotel. It is perfectly situated. The rooms are very nicely decorated (colonial style) and clean, and the bed was very big ! Several choices of tasty breakfasts. Some of the staff could speak English or French which is not easy to find in Laos !

Hotel Khamvongsa is a charming find - a stone's throw away from the tourist sites in Vientiane. The hotel is clean and bright and is good value for money. I saw two downsides: 1.) the bed was very hard (back-ache hard - good thing for the massage places around!) but otherwise the room was comfortable. 2.) I opted for the... More

Well located hotel that looks great and has a nice feel about it. Room were of colonial style, big comfy beds, large shower cubicle and nice view of the courtyard. Worth the extra paid and would stay again.

The Hotel Khamvongsa is a little gem; not in the middle of the tourist area and not beside the Mekong, allowing the surroundings to be tranquil. The grounds are spotless; staff friendly and polite; and breakfast the best hotel breakfast in town! There are five choices for food and many types of beverages. The food is fresh; not sitting out...

We were very glad to have read the reviews about this place before we decided to stay here and were not dissapointed.. Vientiane was the last part of our trip around Laos so didn't feel like doing much and only needed a comfortable place to stay and was exactly what we did during our stay...we probably left the hotel for...

A great looking hotel (or B&B) in a decent location. Good size rooms with TV, minibar and fridge (if you're after those things) and an outstanding breakfast (both choice and quality). You can stay in cheaper places in Vientiane, but not many better places. Excellent value for money considering the breakfast is included. You get some mosquitoes in the room... More
