La Seine Hotel

Good sound proofing. Great arrival. Nice style of accomodation. Good desk in thecroom. Good breakfast (but very expensive) good location. Nice efficient service. Reasonably 'not too warm' room without using a/c. Towels in the bathroom. (This sounds obvious but nowadays they are often on the bed, absurdly.). Free minibar

didnt have breakfast - had dinner in the lobby area one night and food was very good. Room was very large as was the bathroom so plenty of space for two of us and the staff were very good. Had all the facilities one could need.

We chose La Seine hotel for our 3-night stay based on its location near the historic district and the Mekong River, together with the fact that as a 'Genius' booker there were a number of upgrades available to us! We arrived at 19:00 hrs (after traveling on two flights that day) via the hotel's shuttle, to be met by the hotel manager - Mrs Dany - and a welcome drink of wine. Mrs Dany turned out to be a real treasure - she imparted valuable information like what is a 'sensible' price for Tuk-Tuk or taxi rides, which taxis to use, etc. She also arranged for the printing of our China/Laos train tickets - help from Mrs Dany or any of her staff was always available when needed. We used the hotel's roof-top restaurant for convenience on our first night due to our late arrival - it overlooks the Mekong and gives a nice view across the river to Thailand. The service and food were what one would expect to receive from a quality 5-star hotel. On subsequent nights we used local restaurants, which are located either side of the hotel in easy walking distance. Breakfast was served each morning in the large ground floor foyer and was cooked to order from their extensive a-la-carte menu - the menu catered for a complete range of tastes from Western to Asian specialities. The night market is a short stroll from the hotel together with an adjacent street of night hawker food stalls. Our room was large, comfortable and immaculately decorated - housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay. We highly recommend the La Seine hotel - Mrs Dany and her staff made us most welcome and comfortable.

Beautifully clean, well organised and nicely laid out. We enjoyed a fabulous bedroom (suite) with top quality mattress, pillows and bedding gave us a wonderful nights sleep. A nice touch was the completely complementary mini bar. Slightly out of the city centre but it really isn’t a long walk and the 7th Heaven rooftop bar and restaurant (on the 7th floor don’t you know) has a lovely vibe and serves delicious fare. A bit pricey as Vientiane goes, but hey, you get what you pay for!

very good breakfast, you can order and try our everything on the menu, very good coffee and excellent staff. Restaurant on the top is highly recommended, perfect spot on the river and also not too much noise from the bars down stairs on the street. Had a very good family dinner there. Rooms are clean and noise isolated, and the bad is a dream in terms of size and comfort.
