Vientiane Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Vientiane, Laos

We were at Mercure in the 2nd week of July 2014. We arrived early so while waiting, we requested for a massage and the hotel staff arranged for it promptly. On the first day, we took a tuk tuk to the city centre, however, we decided to explore Ventiane by foot and by bicycle after one of the staff showed us how convenient it was to get to the Nam Phu (city centre) area if we went by the riverfront route as opposed to using the main thoroughfare. We had a great time exploring Ventiane. We were also very impressed with the food and the ever friendly Lao people. The Lao people may be one of the poorest people in Asia but we certainly didn't see any unhappiness on their faces.

Regarding facility gym is excellent! But unfortunately often wifi is unavailable because of the account issue. When I couldn't connect, I told the staff about that, and he gave me a new account, and I could. But next evening, again I couldn't connect. What happened? Though the central area was far, we could use shuttle bus service every 30min.

Absolutely wonderful, French Colonial hotel. Just 28 rooms, but has all amenities of much larger luxury hotel. Very well maintained. Great pool, bar, dining rooms. Hotel staff very pleasant but a little slow responding and not too well informed.
