Monsavan Guesthouse
Vientiane
Stylish and spacious, bargain priced rooms in downtown Vientiane.
Air-con rooms: US$22
Too intimate but great bathroom
Tel: No telephone
Description
A little too intimate, but with a good clean bathroom, the walls of this small guesthouse are made of bamboo, so every miniscule noise made by the occupants of one room can be distinctly heard by the occupants of the next. The rooms are tiny and very basic, with a bed, a fan and a mosquito net. Bathrooms are shared, and they are clean, newly tiled and generously sized. There is both a bucket wash with cold water as well as a hot shower (for when the electricity is working).
Total rooms: 7
