I began to stay at this guesthouse when it first opened. In its early years, the rooms were around $13, the rooms were clean and new, the breakfasts very tasty, and the staff very professional and polite. Over the years, Mali Namphu has declined. It grew in popularity so it grew in size, adding more rooms in a 4-story tower.... More

This guesthouse is very conveniently located close to the city centre. There is a very nice central courtyard which is a great place to relax. The room was very comfortable, clean and with a comfortable bed. It'd an easy walk to plenty of restaurants along the Mekong river and the royal palace. The fountain (Nam Phou) just 100 from the...

Where do I start? Staff were not inviting at all, they barely spoke to us or acknowleged us throughout our stay. Our 'triple' room was tiny and had a third bed squashed in. Our room was right next to a construction site (outside our window). The bathroom was falling apart all the handles are coming off the wall. The aircon... More

Great location near fountain, and relatively close to riverside. We hired bikes from a place near the fountain and had a great cycle ride to the Arc and the wat on on the money. Highly recommended. The courtyard was good and breakfast pleasant. Staff were helpful, provided map and answered queries. We were able to check in about an hour... More

This "Guest House" is much more an hotel by size and quality. It is very central, at the end of the road is Vientiane's fountain (pretty at night) which has a number of food outlets around it, including The Scandinavian Bakery. The beach area is only a short walk away as are several good, but well priced, restaurants. Rooms and... More

Great location and the courtyard is the biggest plus of our trip through Laos and Thailand! Quiet, Quiet, Quiet!!! No bar sounds, no traffic sounds and very good free breakfast! The first night of killing mosquitoes in the room was tiresome, but that was pretty much the end to the Mosquitos!

Much of our trip to Vientiane, my parents and I looked to find a place that would satisfy my parents very stringent standards at a decent price. And for that very reason we switched between 4 different hotels in the span of 5 days! This seemed to be our final stop though. Firstly, for the most part, due to the... More

This guest house enjoys a very good location that is walking distance few main tourist attractions in town. Few Indian restaurant are also nearby. The staff are friendly, accommodating and able to speak reasonable English to be able to get the message across with little difficulty. However, on our first night, we found the room infested with mosquitoes. After we... More

I fully support the majority of positive reviews here.The hotel could scarcely be in a better area for either business or pleasure.The Mekong riverside and Presidential Palace are both within a couple of hundred of yards which helps with orientation.I fully agree with the amenity afforded by the courtyard and believe the breakfast served there is more than acceptable for...
