The rooms at the back are a bit dark and definitely over-priced. However go for one at the front (Say 1 or 2) and it's a different story. Classy, spacious, nicely done up and good value. The Guest House itself is in a convenient location, on a side street so nice and quiet. Overall a pleasant environment, with polite and... More

Been there on my last minute trip of 7 days in Laos from 1st january 2012, walk in without reservation. All 3 gentlemen receptionists I met were excellent especially Mr. Bom, a young first year university student working on night shift. The room was all okay with air-con, hot shower, bed, table and wardrobe. Enough space for you. The linen... More

We booked on-line to have a place to stay when we arrived late in Vientiane. We usually stay in guest houses and know what to expect The lobby through us off at the beginning as they have a lot of interesting old artifacts, which have never been dusted - combined with poor lighting and an abscense of guests or staff...

Located up a quiet cul-de-sac opposite a Wat, the Lani is close to almost everything you need to get to in Vientiane, although nothing in Vientiane is very far away. I stayed in the main building so I can't say what the adjoining building was like. It feels like a hotel that is not only in it's own garden oasis... More

We spent two nights here with our teenagers. It was lovely and we were relieved to not be on the main road. The position is great and a few minutes walk from everything. Lani and her pleasant ladies made us feel very safe and looked after. I enjoyed evenings reading on the gorgeous veranda after my girls had gone to... More

Tucked into a little road off one of Vientiane's nicest tree-lined street, the Lani has a simple, peaceful atmosphere that makes it quite inviting. The rooms in the front are quite large and clean and comfortable - we stayed there coming and going out of Laos and were happy with both rooms, although the one we got downstairs (one the... More

We stayed at the Lani - an old, colonial house with a beautiful garden for a week.. It was a delight. Lovely large room with comfortable beds, TV, airconditioning and free WiFi. Large clean bathroom with good shower. The staff were pleasant and we had time for several long conversations. Breakfast was good and taken in the garden and if... More

Some what run down, rooms were dingy, shower tiles falling off, etc. I was visiting friends in Vientiene and after dinner we went to hotel to catch up. They stayed pretty late and when they were leaving, the night guard approached them and started berating them. He informed us that we needed to leave the hotel in the morning and... More

We stayed two times before and after Luang Prabang. First time room number 2 at the main building was ok, but the second time we got a room on the back and it was dark, small and during the first night noisy, a big difference and almost same price. Breakfast was ok We liked the location, near a wat, and... More
