Very pleasant stay, room very spacious, clean & very well appointed. All amenities included that you would need. Breakfast was great with plenty of selection to order. Coffee was the best in the city! Roof top pool was wonderful after a long day out, with the poolside bar for a refreshing drink. Would highly recommend staying here if visiting Vientiane.

Recommended boutique hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is great, lovely helpful staff. The room was fine albeit a bit gloomy due to the odd design to limit the number of lights in the room. There is a nice rooftop pool and restaurant/bar and the location is good. We walked to the central bus station to catch the 14 to the Buddha park one day and paid 100K for a tuk tuk to Pharmacy That Luang another day. Quite a few restaurants and the night market (if you like that kind of thing) are a few streets away.

the Suite was Spacious and nice decorated but on second Look Everything was in very used shape.
Talking a shower in the tub flooded the room, towels were not clean and grey, aircon was very noisy….
They cound‘t transfer the asian hospitality, you expect in this Price Segment.

POETRY IN DEVOTION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE
The Lao Poet Hotel reception, restaurant and bar personnel are all highly professional. The receptionist especially provided us with useful and money-saving information. The rooms are very comfortable, quiet and clean. It is centrally located for easy access to shopping, sights and restaurants. There’s every reason to rhyme with the poetry of this place,
