I stayed 3 days here, and was extremely satisfied, staff were friendly (except night receptionist, he never smiled!), room was clean, comfortable, bathroom clean, hot water but no amenities. Breakfast was good and served until 10am. Only negatives, on last night had a mosquito in my room probably cos the staff leave the doors open during cleaning, balcony light remains... More

we live 2 nights in orchid ,the service is good. but the room on streets with noises of motors almost make me crazy.the second day,we change to the back room against street ,it is better than first day, but the buzzles from air conditioners of the building still made me feel uncomfortable. More

This hotel is in a quiet side street off the Mekong. We have a standadrd room at the back of the hotel. It is well decorated and very comfortable. The hot shower was extremely welcome after the night train from Bangkok. The staff are very efficient and helpful and everyone speaks excellent English. There is free wifi and free computer... More

Reservation & reception: I communicated it by email and all was honoured, e.g. requesting a room on higher floor facing the Wat. However, the reception staff was unfriendly, no smile in her face, very cold atmosphere. They explained nothing about the hotel, like simple things, e.g. times of breakfast and where to take it. The staff just not say anything,... More

Lovely hotel and room, we stayed on 2nd floor, if you are staying longer then try rooms on level 4 or 5 as they have a great view over Mekong. Breakfast is great, a mixture of Asian and Western foods with full buffet service and they cook you eggs/omelet how you like. Staff very friendly. Mekong river at the corner... More

For our first visit to Vientiane, we chose Lao Orchid after reading various comments on Trip Advisor and elsewhere. From the beginning of our booking process the hotel was prompt, attentive and most agreeable to deal with. We stayed for three nights initially with a fourth night following two nights in another city in Laos. The hotel arranged a van... More

So that's my qualifier out of the way. If you want "very good - for anywhere" in this city then you'll be a bit hard pushed to find it. The Ansara or Salana, maybe? I've stayed here several times. Always consistent. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable. You'll find an electric shower (likely with poor water pressure, but... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in December in one of the standard double rooms. PROS: 1) Clean and well lit rooms with fridge 2) Comfy beds 3) Great breakfast with good selection and freshly made eggs on request 4) Restaurant available for lunch or dinner, simple dishes but tasty and very cheap and great if you're tired and don't...

I have stayed at Lao Orchid several times over the years and it has always been a pleasure to stay there. It is a 3-Star equivalent providing good value for money. The staff is friendly, the location good (in the vicinity but not in the midst of the busy road along the Mekong and about the same distance from "La... More
