Description
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. A large breakfast is included in the price, 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 $5 per day, cars for $40 per day or $5 per hour, and bicycles for 50c or $1 per day. Helmets are included. The hotel also provides free transfers to and from the airport if requested in advance. Don't let the rather spartan reception area put you off, this really isn't bad value so close to the river.

a short stay is ok -

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 -

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.

The wide, open entrance is an attractive introduction to this stylish guesthouse. The open-air courtyard outback lends a contemporary flavour to the otherwise traditional Lao design.

Orchid Guesthouse
33 Fa Ngum Rd, Vientiane
The Orchid is one of the few places that really takes advantage of its great location right on the Mekong and as a result is understandably a popular choice. The rooms are tastefully furnished and even the smaller single rooms have been given a few nice touches to brighten them up. The fan only... more

Riverside Hotel
Nokeo Koummane Rd, Vientiane
A new, fresh and clean hotel just up from the Mekong. All the rooms are well furnished with either twin or double beds and all have air-con, fridge, huge cable TV and private bathrooms with hot water. Oddly, though, they seem to have decided that lime green is a colour that people prefer. There are... more
Haysoke 1 Guesthouse
083/1-2 Hengboun St, Vientiane
One in a small chain in Laos this is by far the friendlier and better of the two in Vientiane, occupying a very central location close to the Lao Cultural Hall. As with many other places, the rooms with shared bathrooms are the least attractive and the smallest. The best rooms here are the bigger... more
