The AV Hotel was a bit of a weird experience for me. The room was quite nice, although it took the aircon awhile to cool it down. The shower and toilet were in one room, good water pressure, but the sink was around the corner in another part of the bedroom....and it didn't drain properly. I couldn't figure out what... More

Loved the free airport pickup! We were pleased with this quiet and well-placed hotel, it was very clean, quite comfortable and enjoyed the free breakfast. The staff were pleasant and polite, the f&b ladies were really lovely and accommodating. Front of house were efficient, not over-the-top friendly but absolutely nothing wrong with the service, unlike what some reviews say here.... More

clean and good sleep quality. Breakfast with small number of choices with good quality, with fresh coffee too. Excellent value for money if you do not need swimming pool. Space for car park. Located near everything in walking distance. More

I am a frequent traveller to Vientiane and will be the first person to say I really am not too impressed with the city. That being said I have stayed at the AV Hotel several times (possibly 6 in the last 12 months) and have never written in TA about my experience but after reading a few reviews wanted to... More

Good location and free airport pick ups. Rooms are basic, with no supply. Only one towel, and no toiletries. Charge a phone call at reception to contact tour operator without letting customer know before hand. It was a surprise at check out and the staff mocked " nothing is free!", rude staff. Not cheap, may find something better in Vientiane. More

Quite expensive for what it is, but okay for a few nights. The rooms are clean, and the breakfast is acceptable. The hotel is within walking distrance from both the bus station and morning market as well as the river and city center. There is free wifi in the rooms and a couple of computers for the guests to use... More

Good WiFi, big rooms, and nice bed. That's it! Barely adequate hot water, zero views, noisy from street and from thin walls.... But worst of all is the completely unmotivated, untrained, and uncaring staff. I don't expect front desk staffers in developing countries to have excellent language skills, but the people working at AV have almost zero ability in English... More

It came back having been only washed and ironed with an obviously to hot iron marking the left shoulder and sleeve with shiny iron marks. I subsequently found out that they... More

Spent 2 nights here, and booked the 2 huge rooms upstairs. pity the sink is in the bedroom. Breakfast is only OK, although i wish they would increase the price and allow unlimited coffee/juice. It would not take much to make this a good hotel, just a slight upgrade in quality of linen/towels etc. More

Booked for 1 night in av hotel before flying back to Singapore. As our flight is really early, it is good that the hotel provides free airport transfer. Breakfast is buffet style with a good variety! The only negative thing about the hotel is that there are many mosquitoes along the corridor and in the room. You can literally see... More
