My first time staying and the Don Chan, although the group I was with has stayed there before and the hotel did a great job both times. I arrived at night and was amazed at the multi tasking and service of the front desk staff. Although there was only one staff member, he promptly acknowledged everyone as they came up... More

Don Chan Palace is quite a new hotel in Vientiane, situates on Mekong River across from Nongkhai provice of Thailand. You can enjoy good view of Mekong river from your balcony so I recommend the river side room. The hotel offers decent breakfast and there is a good Chinese restaurant where you can have quite good Chinese food (but I... More

I book this hotel one month ago for my son trip to Vientiane. He is suppose to fly back to Germany , unfortunately some plan change while we have put him in Vientiane before board for another flight. We use to stay in Don Chan before and it was not so comfortable. Poor service and quality back in year 2009.... More

The hotel is the tallest building in Vientiane...and has seen better days. Rooms were comfortable and everything was in working order, however, facilites were rather dated. Hotel towels were thin and rather worn, breakfast buffet spread was limited, the pool looked creepy and not maintained (water was murky and green). The Business center was really basic and most times unmanned,... More

Just stayed here for 2 nights on a business trip, as it was booked for me by my business partner in Laos. At best, the hotel was serviceable but I expected more from the largest hotel in Vientiane. The swimming pool water was green and the gym was not much to speak of. There is also a nightclub in the... More

I cannot think of a single redeeming feature of this hotel: poor location not in the centre nor really outside town, totally soulless, full of mosquitoes (loos in reception had at least 5 in each cubicle - gross), poor food and unfriendly service (although competent). The hotel is an eyesore in such an historic town, and given the number of... More

We really regret it that we paid 5 star rate for this 2 star quality hotel. It has horrible loud music from the dancing club owned and run by the hotel (within the same premise), from 11.30 to 3.30 midnight. During the day time, there is very loud noise from the construction site by the river (on the sand bank),... More

The Good: I start with a few good things: First, the breakfast is decent. There's a wide choice of Asian and European food, and they even change some of the food offered on a daily basis. The huge breakfast room always seems a bit spooky, though, because no matter if you go there at 7 PM or 9 PM, it... More

Dirty, dirty, dirty and not worthy of its five-star rating. Rubber bands as curtain ties, bathroom missing light bulbs and paper thin towels, amongst several complaints. Rates are not that much cheaper and if you compare standard of room and add on the ridiculous wifi charges, you get more bang for your buck at the Green Park. The best thing... More
