Positive feel, good ambiance, friendly crew What we loved the most about Lao was its ambiance. Overall it presented a positive feel. Rooms were average in size and had all the necessities in place. The attached bathroom too was average which had all the basic things. Yet, even on an average setup, this hotel won our heart because of its... More

Hotel Lao! The jury is still out on this hotel for me. I try as much as humanly possible to find the positive in any situation and so I will share the aspects of that with fellow travelers. My first encounter with Hotel Lao was ironic/ fated to say the least. The initial plan was to join up with my... More

I stayed agin at this hotel and had a much nicer deluxe room with more space. Its a place of character with a nice garden and pond. The food is pretty good though staff have adopted the Lao PDR Please Dont Rush attitude, which makes for a relaxing time if you are on holiday; so dont expect fast food here... More

On the negative: The worst about this hotel is that the rooms don't have a fan, just air conditioning! This can make the nights quite uncomfortable (unless you like sleeping with the airco blasting on you).

Inside the lobby and courtyard garden was a delight. I had a simple room overlooking the garden. For the price it was good; but the bathroom was a bit dated... More

A middling place, I'd agree with some of the other reviews. We stayed here twice during our Laos trip. Some comments: Found staff very helpful, and they managed lightning-quick laundry service. Rooms are fine budget rooms. Everything worked, no complaints. However on our return trip our room had bed bugs -- staff were mortified and (we heard later) mattresses were... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights in December 2008 as part of an Adventure Company trip round Laos and Cambodia. I can't comment on value for money because it was part of a package deal but I wouldn't want to stay again. I can explain..... As other reviewers have said, the front desk staff are generally friendly but... More
