Mekong Hotel

Very spacious and clean rooms, and the breakfast was nice with plenty of options. You really can’t beat the price in Vientiane—especially if you’re looking for something clean, affordable, and in a great location. We booked five rooms for around $30 a room per night, which was an incredible value.

When staying there, you need to take measures against mosquitoes.

Staff very polite and helpful

Great hotel, they let me check in early at 7am! My only complaint is that the breakfast could be a little tastier, but no other complaints, no mosquitoes either

I was robbed at this hotel. Avoid this place. Posted for owner: The day after I left the hotel, $1500 was deducted from my US dollar bank card. At first, I thought I had lost the card, so I immediately reported it lost. I usually keep this card with my ID and US dollar cash, so I decided to check if the cash was still there. It turned out the cash was gone too. I even knew roughly when the theft might have occurred. Before checking out, I put my US dollar bank card in my usual cash storage place because I knew I wouldn't need the dollars afterwards. Then I went to a nearby store and left the deducted money in my backpack. I was away from the room for about 30 minutes and didn't check my valuables again when I returned. I've always been used to trusting the kindness of others while traveling, but this experience with you has really made me re-evaluate my habits, haha.

[Update] November 2025 I used this hotel for my third trip to Vientiane, Laos. It's my regular hotel, and I've stayed here every time. It's about 4 km from Wattay International Airport, but they offer free airport transfers if requested in advance. The location is convenient for sightseeing, as you can reach the Mekong River in about 5 minutes on foot, making it ideal for watching the sunset over the Mekong and visiting the night bazaar. However, while it's possible to walk to the city center, using taxis like LOCA is more convenient. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the rooms have a simple and calming atmosphere with wooden floors and furniture. They are equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, tea sets, safety deposit boxes, and private shower rooms. A full range of amenities is provided, and room service is available. However, there's a temple behind the hotel, so you can hear bells and chanting from early morning, and the water pressure in the shower is somewhat weak. Breakfast is a buffet at the attached Chinese restaurant. It's not particularly delicious, but it's sufficient. ==

Very very good

Good location. Right next to BIG C and ITTEC Mall. Mostly Chinese guests. The rooms are very big and clean. Everything was very quiet. Staff super friendly and always helpful. After some days the internet speed went down and it was a bit annoying as I work remote. I can recommend this place and will book again, if I come back to Vientiane. Thank you
