Lani Guesthouse

A nice place - 19th January, 2010
Spent 3 nights here and it was quite pleasant. The staff is friendly and helpful. They will assist with making hotel reservations in other towns (though they will charge for the call) and with bus tix. (Just the big bus, not minivans). Room was good and clean. Would have been quiet but for the monks next door. (They wake up early and like to drum!). Breakfast was good, but repetitive. The setting is peaceful, and both the lanai and upstairs balcony are nice places to relax. Good location, walk to shops and restaurants. Off the main street a little. Airport pickup at 9:30 PM was very much appreciated.

OK but overpriced - 2nd October, 2009
Have to say I wasn't so struck on the Lani as some of the other posters on here. Perhaps we were unlucky with the room but it was cramped and gloomy. The bed and mattress were old and sagged alarmingly, although the bedding was nice and clean. The worst aspect was the bathroom which was dingy, and the numerous cockroaches. We had more cockroaches in this room than anywhere else we stayed in Laos. In the end we stayed for one night and then moved on to the Mali Namphu.

Great place
Nice and tranquil place and yet quite centrally located. I'd certainly recommend this guesthouse.

Worth The Splurge - 20th March, 2009
This is my second time through here and it remains a great find. The rooms are big, clean and well decorated. There's a new staffer at the front desk who speaks great English. The breakfast is great and they also have wifi. It's the perfect splurge if you've been trapsing around Laos or Thailand. Quiet and tranquil.

Enjoyable - 10th March, 2009
Lani has is in a great location tucked down a quiet lane between two wats in the center of town. Very easy to walk just about everywhere. I really enjoyed my stay here - just the right touch of quiet cool ambience with antiques here & there. I am in my 50's and so the laid back atmosphere was in tune with my own habits but someone younger might find it a bit too quiet. My room had a few missed cobwebs but was clean otherwise if a bit cramped and gloomy with the shutters closed up. The front desk fellow was very cheerful & helpful but often out of sight & I almost always had to go in search of someone to help me. I would definitely stay again and felt it was very good value for the money spent esp. with breakfast included.
