Lao Silk Hotel
Chic newcomer
What we say: 
We were drawn in by the sign outside this new hotel that said clean, soft bed, free WiFi, friendly, and must admit that they delivered on all accounts. The beds are soft as feathers (by Lao standards!) with brilliantly white duvets, rooms are fresh and bright, the staff are sweet and professional, and WiFi works brilliantly ever on higher floors. All rooms have a flatscreen TV, phone, mini-fridge, a small desk and an attached bathroom with central hot water. Big windows open up onto small balconies and the view determines the room's price. There’s no on-site restaurant but plenty of places to eat line the street. The hotel has CCTV security and took our credit card without any extra fee. Take advantage of Lao Silk Hotel while it's still new!

Lost a little shine
As is often the case with new buildings in Southeast Asia, despite being new the Lao Silk Hotel is already showing some signs of wear: a bit of damp, marks on the one white walls and so on. That said, it's still clean, reasonably comfortable and well located so certainly worth considering if you have a mid-range budget. I will say though that we opted for the cheapest room ($25 online - we wanted to book in advance and were glad we did as it was full when we arrived) as we were just staying a night so weren't bothered about a view. The room was really small - I mean, just space to move around the bed - and there was no balcony, just a window overlooking a wall and an air-con unit. As I say, I'm not bothered about no balcony or view but some might think the description ''rear view'' suggests the rooms are on a par with those at the front, just with a different view, and this isn't the case. I did manage to peek into a front room though and it didn't look much bigger. So in summary, a good place for flashpackers but not for a long stay as the rooms are too small.

Enjoyable stay
Place is definitely new and very comfortable. I didn't actually find the bed as soft it was billed to be, but the room was definitely nice for the price. They have three tiers of prices -- $30 for ''river views'', $25 for ''city view'' and $20 for ''rear view''. I looked at one rear view room, but it was up 5 flights of stairs and decided to spring the extra $5 for a city view room on the second floor. Very clean, although the room did smell a bit musty. LCD flatscreen TV, lots of mirrors, wood furniture was a nice touch. Western toilets, good water pressure, hot shower. Staff was friendly, though I found better prices for the services they offer at local agencies. Recommended!
