Douang Deuane is a large, fading typical Lao hotel that houses clean twin-share rooms with air-con, fridge, bath, balcony, safety deposit boxes and cable TV. Rooms are spacious with polished wood floors and staff are friendly and helpful. It's ideally located in a quiet but central street just off the Mekong and within a two-minute walk of most amenities. They offer a rental service for motorbikes at 30,000 kip per day and bicycles for 8000 kip per day. Helmets are included. The hotel also provides transfers to and from the airport and Friendship Bridge for $6 and 15,000 kip respectively. Don't let the rather spartan reception area put you off, as this really isn't bad value so close to the river.

Always stay here - 9th March, 2010
This is where we always stay when in Vientiane on business which is about every 4 - 6 weeks. Since Jan 2010 a modest breakfast buffet is included in the price as is free wi-fi in the lobby. Last year four rooms were added to each floor. The old bathtubs have been rejuvenated rather nicely and nylon shower curtains have helped reduce the mildew factor. Some older rooms are ready for a fresh coat of paint. They always use decent watt light bulbs. Also, each room has a mini safe in it. Even greater value now with breakfast, wi-fi, and safes included.

liked it - 9th February, 2010
Stayed there for 3 nights and really liked it! We had a double room in the 5th floor (they have an elevator now!) with a small balcony with and amazing view. The room was big and clean. Also the bathroom was perfectly ok, everything clean, no mold or anything else.
The woman who seems to be the boss there spoke very good english, all the staff was nice and friendly.
We paid 25$ per night.

a short stay is ok - 16th May, 2006
They offer free air port pick-up and drop-off (even at 5AM). The staff was helpful and spoke great English. There was no elevator in hotel, but they did carry our bags up for us. The room was nothing special, the wall paper was kind of grungy and peeling off. Bring shower shoes the bath tub had mold (and yes, it’s a western style bathroom with a tub and shower curtain…1st time I’ve seen one of those in SEA). There were not any bugs in the hotel. The air conditioning work well. There was a refrigerator in the room. The beds were hard (normal for SEA), but the pillows were amazing. We had two double beds for $23. We got into Vientiane at 1PM and had to leave at 5AM the next day. The hotel was perfect for the short amount of time we stayed there. But if we were going to stay longer, I think we would have changed hotels.

Don't bother - 19th December, 2004
Stayed here last night. It is possible to get the same type of accommodation (air-con, TV) in Vientiane for half this price. The hotel is pretty grubby, and is gloomy and unwelcoming. Give it a miss.
