Nightmare experience

Posted 1 Dec 2017 on Hotels
Best thing about this hotel was check in was quick Second was checking out In between was not good Room very dirty Used toilet roll reel behind open door obviously not close door to clean behind Windows not fully close Asked for bottle opener told not have But you can use the one on fridge in reception They display menu for food But when I ask in the evening was told it was afternoon menu only So I starved till next day I went for breakfast but was told I had to pay breakfast for me was not free although booking confirmation from you said free breakfast I felt ashamed and humiliated when told I have to pay in front of other guests As if I was a homeless person walked in off the street off the street it is very noisy here cockerels crowing at 5.15 am and staff hammering at 7.39am I would not recommend this hotel to anybody I now stay around the corner in Usouk hotel very modern flat screen tv and jacuzzi and breakfast included ( very nice)and only 1000 baht a night and very clean as apposed to 811 baht a night for a night mare of a experience at this hotel and no breakfast

Good little hotel with friendly staff

Posted 9 Nov 2017 on Hotels
Enjoyed my 4-night stay here. Furniture and fixtures could use some updating but otherwise the property is clean and well-maintained. Simple but decent breakfast in the morning. The hotel is set back from the street making it fairly quiet.

The trip was excellent and the hotel in a good location for work location and for all the shopping and excellent restaurants close. We have extended our stay until the end of March due to my work scheduling change.

free shuttle bus to the airport

Posted 2 Feb 2017 on Hotels
I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. the only thing good i can think of is the free shuttle service to the airport. the location is so far away from the river(around 30 mins walk). The condition of the room is not good, the air conditioner was broken on the second night which i had to request for changing to the other room in the middle of the night. The choice of the breakfast was limited and i would rather go out and try local food. considering the cost of living in Laos and what this hotel can offer, it does not worth to stay here.

we came for one night stay. the room was nice and clean and the staff was friendly. regarding with the location- the hotel is located far from the center. overall of your pupose is having only one night stay its great. if you also want to explore the city maybe consider different location.

Hidden Gem

Posted 14 Nov 2016
Pros: Good position for sights. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. Great pick up from airport. Helpful in booking trip to Luang Prabang.
Cons: In my opinion the bed was too hard.
Location: Walking distance to all sights.
Hidden off of the main road but great position for getting everywhere. Safe area, clean hotel, friendly staff, great for a couple of night's. Breakfast adequate but not a lot of choice for westerners as you have only one choice from the list but enough for me as small eater.

Short Stay hotel

Posted 27 Aug 2016 on Hotels
The Lalco is a little far from the Centre and so you have to Walk 30 minutes to restaurants etc. The Local area is very quiet. However currently there is a large 40 story Construction site overlooking the hotel which is very noisy, starting at 8 am in the morning [ so no need for alarm clocks] The Rooms are large,clean and the TV has a number of English Channels. the bed is very hard. The Bathroom has a large Shower, but because it uses a dedicated water heater it is either scolding hot or freezing cold. despite asking this to be repairs or adjusted a number of times it remained a problem. The Staff are friendly and the Breakfast is good, if a little limited. There is ample parking at the hotel and taxis can be called from reception easily. Overall, it is a nice hotel, a little far from the centre, but great value for money but needs to sort out showers.

Large room, location and hospitality

Posted 31 Jul 2016 on Hotels
The hotel is a bit old and more like a serviced apartment. But good thing is, unlike newer ones, room is quite large for the price. The location is closer to government office area than business district, but plenty of restaurants around. Hotel people have good hospitality and serve nice breakfast. If the hotel like to attract more Chinese tourist, the water flow of the shower should be stronger and hot water should be available anytime.
