Must-see hotels in Vientiane

  • Lao Silk Hotel

    Vientiane

    Unexciting and small, if capable, rooms in a central location. Note that the cheapest rooms are on the 5th floor, and there's no lift. Downstairs is a…

  • Mixok Inn Guesthouse

    Vientiane

    Although they could use a freshen up, the rooms at Mixok Inn make for a decent, if characterless, centrally located budget base.
