Guest Reviews

• Brian (10/5): - Great hotel and the staff were outstanding
• david (10/5): - The room was comfortable and clean. There was complimentary breakfast, though it was kept to the basics.
• Kevin (10/5): Convenient location - The hotel is exceptionally well located in the centre of town. The rooms are spacious and the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. The breakfast is really very good. It is not a big 5 star hotel but it is perfect for wandering around Vientiane and the price point makes it even better. Great value.
• Felippe (10/5): - Super kind and helpful staff.. surprisingly quiet even tho across street from Hard Rock
• YIN (10/5): - Très propre
• ICHIKO (8/5): - ホテルのお部屋は十分な広さでした。アメニティも揃ってました！立地も良く、初ラオス🇱🇦でしたが安心して滞在できました。又利用させてください
• ANOUSAK (10/5): - Overall a good hotel with a classic look. Only thing I wish it had was a pool or a fitness center. The breakfast is nice you order per item.

• Vanthong (10/5): - Love the French Colonial architecture and furniture in the room. Suite has a lot of room to relax with comfortable bed and big bathroom. All staff friendly and helpful. Great location close to restaurants and the night market. Nothing negative overall...we would certainly stay again!
• Vanthong (10/5): - Love the beautiful French style, suite has tremendous space , excellent services and great location. Only downside is that at the moment there is a construction outside the front lobby .
• Birgit (10/5): - The stuff at receprion was very kind and helpful. Breakfast, they did had ala card and little buffet. fresh fruit, cereal and yoghurt, salad, some jam and yummi fresh baguette. Good cappucino. At rush hour you might need to wait a bit, but not to long
• William (10/5): - Great location, nice decor, staff were very friendly but English communication was often a small issue
• Thu Hang (10/5): - My stay at Salana was excellent. Staff were very helpful and kind. Location was perfect, especially if you want to see the alms offering in the early morning. Food was great with a variety of selection. Will definitely come back.
• Uwe (10/5): - Personel is fluent in English and very helpful. Breakfast was outstanding.
• Brian (10/5): Laos Smile. - The beautiful woman who greeted me at the front desk really made my day. Very nice Laos smile ! I like this hotel , with the wood interior really makes it like a classic hotel.
• Nancy (10/5): - Safe and friendly. Decent food. Everything is within walking distance (night market, food, pharmacy, money exchange, rental car, tuk-tuk local taxi, etc.)
• Walter (8/5): - A room service is recommended
• Roy (10/5): - 設備が清潔でスタッフの対応も良かった。
• Åse Aulie (10/5): - Hotellet var veldig sjarmerende og det var hyggelig personale. Ekstra god frokost.
• Ronald (8/5): Beautiful hotel good location friendly staff. - Check in was not ideal. We were checked into the wrong room and had to wait until the room I booked was prepared, however after the check in issue was resolved our stay was great. Good location great food and friendly responsive staff. Wifi could use improvement.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Set in central Vientiane easy walk to all sights. Very attentive staff with calm and pleasant manners. V good good for dining and breakfast.
• Prakash (8/5): Central place of stay - I always enjoyed my stay here, excellent peaceful place. Staff is super friendly and good. Breakfast when guests are lots they make sure it’s well spread, otherwise it’s not so exiting. This time my pickup at the airport did not work so promptly in spite of email confirmations. I always enjoy my stay at this hotel and I would strongly recommend this place to everyone.
• H (10/5): - スタッフがとても丁寧に対応してくれました。 英語に長けたスタッフは少なかったみたいですが、人の良さでカバーしてました。 部屋も居心地良かったです。 今までビエンチャンの同レベルのホテルに4箇所泊まりましたが、一番、良かったです。 バスタブ付きもありがたかったです。
• Jose (8/5): Nice hotel, great room, well located - Nice room, friendly staff. All was perfect.
• LISA (6/5): Clean and comfortable, but WiFi was problematic - The hotel was fine, and the room clean, but there were two things that lowered the score for me on overall - first the WiFi was so bad they might as well not have it. The other was that there was a construction zone right outside my window, which would not be so terrible accept that work continued into the night. You have to warn people about things like that, and at least try to give them a room without such disturbance.
• yupadee (10/5): Room is clean and convinience - room and BF us good the building is quite look old
• Verified traveler (10/5): 고급진 행복한 휴가 - 방이 넓고ㅡ각자의 침대옆에 캐리어를 펼쳐 두어도 될 정도로 방이 넓었습니다. 나무바닥, 가구 등이 고풍스럽고 고급진 느낌이어서 좋았습니다. 욕실도 넓은 욕조를 포함하여 쾌적하였습니다. 조식부페도 음식을 주문하는 방식이었는데 개개인의 취향을 존중해 주는 느낌이어서 좋았습니다. 딱 한가지 아쉬운점은 와이파이였습니다.
• Verified traveler (4/5): ブティックとつくホテルは見栄えのみ - 古い、シャワーの湯の量に制限が有り長く使えない、このクラスでは珍しい 朝食の品数が少ない。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 메콩강 근처 호텔이고 근처 야시장이 매우 활발해서 볼거리 먹거리등 아주 최고 좋은 지역이다
• JOSE LUIS (10/5): Hotel de diseño céntrico y acogedor - Hotel con mucho encanto situado en la zona comercial de la ciudad. Es pequeño y encantador, buen servicio de restaurante. La habitación es amplia, la cama muy cómoda, todo es de madera, muy trabajada en el pais. Bañoa amplio y muy limpio. El personal es atento y muy servicial, como gesto de cortesía te trasladan sin coste al aeropuerto el dia que te vas. Fue una estancia muy placentera.
• Marie (10/5): Central location, friendly and helpful service - The room was sizeable and clean. Unfortunately the view (and noise) was construction but they did finish at a decent time in the early evening so it didn't affect sleep. The service was friendly and breakfast was great with both a buffet, a la carte and coffee selection. Airport transfers were free and the location was central - walking distance to may sights. It's hard to fault this hotel. Highly recommended.
• Robert (10/5): Friendly staff, very clean, great location! - Very clean and perfectly located for exploring the city center. We were very pleased with the breakfast, the friendly staff, and the willingness of the staff to help us with all of our travel questions/needs (hotel bar/cafe, water bottles in room, transport, etc).
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good ambience. Large rooms with good aircon. Food ok but not amazing. Restaurant service a bit shaky! Eg.starters and main course arrived together. Coffee arrived before desert!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely little hotel in Vientiane. The staff was super helpful, and the room was spacious and well appointed. The only negative was that there was a construction site directly across the street, but there isn't anything the hotel could really do about that. We only stayed one night before continuing on, but this was a great place to spend a night.
• Donald (10/5): Two thumbs up! - Dhavara is a charming place to relax at the end of a day exploring Vientiane. Great location, within a short walk of many good restaurants. Our room and the common areas were very clean and well-maintained. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The bed was nice and comfy. We would definitely stay here again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Relaxing get-away - Nice stay
• Gary (10/5): - Really great hotel from beginning to end. Hotel staff super welcoming when we checked in. Room was clean, spacious and beautiful. Exactly what you’d expect from a boutique hotel. Breakfast was great each morning. They had a good selection for the buffet and there was a menu you could order off of as well! I would recommend the English muffin with ham, egg, and cheese. They even offered a free shuttle service to the airport, just reserve in advance. Best boutique hotel I’ve ever stayed at!
• Alyssa (10/5): Wouldn't change a thing. - From start to finish, this was a great place to stay. Shuttle driver met us at the airport with bottles of cold water, and it's a quick (10 min.?) trip to the hotel. Room was large, really comfortable, and the staff was very helpful. Included breakfast had many options, with both made-to-order and buffet selections. Location is perfect for seeing all the temples on the main street and for a large variety of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. Tuk-tuk out to the farther sites is easy to catch, because you're just off the main road.
• Denis (10/5): Well maintained hotel in a great location! - Well maintained hotel in a great location!
• Steven (10/5): Nice Hotel But Pricey - The staff at the front desk was very friendly. Even saved me a parking spot right in front of the hotel. The room was quite spacious and the AC worked very well. The layout of the room was alright. Bed not so comfortable but decent enough. There was construction going on in the building next over and we heard every single drill and nail being hammered in. Smell of cigarette smoke found its way into our room several times too. Morning breakfast is simple. I probably was not in the mood for breakfast because I looked at all the items but passed on all. The fruit & cookie tray from the night before was a nice gesture. Shower was nice but the glass screen on the side to block water doesn’t do that great of a job because water was all over the bathroom floor after every shower. The snack tray brought in night before I enjoyed and the cookies were fantastic! Check out was an unusual first time experience. I was told to wait so they could verify whether or not if the “mini bar” was used at all. Not a big deal but why have a customer wait when it gets added & billed to the invoice directly. The experience was overall decent and we enjoyed it. A bit pricey for what it is though.
• L (8/5): Well located - Well located. Walking distance to attractions and restaurants Good for families and couples
• Craig (10/5): Great Hotel - Beautiful hotel close to everything. Quiet, relaxing and beautiful room with a balcony. I would definitely stay here again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): best 4**** weve been to - Fantatic find in central Vientiane.Staff couldnt be more obliging and the breakfast was outdtanding.All in all an excellent hotel.
• Godfrey (8/5): Bali feel hotel - The hotel has a bali feel design overall. In general was good but the hot water was inconsistent. I was in the hot warm shower and all the sudden turned cold.
• Kevin (10/5): Wonderful stay in Vientiane - My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful this hotel was and how lovely the hotel staff were. Great location with many of the top sites of Vientiane within walking distance, Dhavara Boutique also offers many restaurants and a Night Market within close proximity. Nice Breakfast included. Rooms offer a unique blend of antique and up-to-date amennities. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
• SarahJayne (10/5): An historic colonial style jewel in Vientiane - Dhavara hotel is an historic colonial style jewel amongst the dusty sleepiness of Vientiane. Very close to the river, lots of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself is splendidly decorated and the staff are just first rate -very attentive, helpful and great English. This hotel is small but the rooms are spacious. The bath filled quickly with very hot water - luxury! My only advice is that they renew their towels and robes and also add shampoo and conditioner to the bathroom as this was missing on all 3 days.
• Kat (10/5): Wonderful hotel close to local restaurants - We loved the Dhavara Boutique hotel. It was very clean and the rooms were stunning. The we sat out on the balcony every morning before starting our day. The breakfast was really nice with lots of variety and the coffee always made to order. Noi is a staff member who helped us arrange a day trip and he took care of everything, it was great. All the staff are very professional and helpful. Everyone greets you with a smile and we felt very safe. The hotel is walking distance to many different types of restaurants and is a close walk to the temples and park.
• Kevin (8/5): Decent hotel in good location - Decent quality hotel within easy walk of many sights and restaurants. Breakfast was fine but restaurant not really trying to compete at other times.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best Hotel in Vientiane IMHO - Super hotel. 3rd Time I have stayed there. Center of town and Pimenton Restaurant is around the corner from the Dhavara
• Verified traveler (10/5): May 2017 - This is a really great place to stay. We found the staff right on top of things and made you feel comfortable. I needn't bother speaking Lao because their English was far more than necessary. The breakfast should cater for everyone, rooms clean, bed comfortable, very nice decor, helpful with our baby. Loved it.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good location and convenient. - Our trip was short and we could only ask the front office staff on places to go as we did not planned. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Though it's a bit pricy but we are happy with the hospitality of the staff. .
• Verified traveler (2/5): DON'T BE FOOLED BY A FAKE "BOUTIQUE" HOTEL - Staying at the Dhavara " boutique hotel" was one of the most disappointing experiences we had while visiting Vientiane, as this hotel is a total trap. Upon arrival we were given only one plastic card key, which made it impossible to charge any of our gadgets when leaving the room. Later we demanded a 2nd key that was charged to our bill U$10,00. Breakfast has very little variety of fresh fruits,breads,or juices. They serve powder juices, when you ask a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice they will charge extra U$9,00. The staff is rude, and badly trained, we asked to see the hotel manager and we were told that the manager was on holiday. For a hotel that charges £130 a night it was a complete disgrace. It;s a hotel for Asian only, the shower head is about 1.50cm high so if you are taller than 1,70cm you will have to bent to have a shower or see yourself in the mirror. Stay away from this hotel.
• paul (4/5): Just disappointing - The staff appear to have no clue about customer service. The reception desk is just inept. Breakfast was good but frankly when you pay these prices for a hotel in Vientiane it should be brilliant. I came back to Vientiane after 3 days in Luang Prabang and booked the best western for my final night. 1/4 of the price and better service, plus same location more or less. Don't go to dhavara.
• Kristen (8/5): Lovely hotel very close to river area. - Had never been before to Vientiane and this hotel was good location. Internet was the best we had out of 4 hotels we stayed at. Bath products good except no conditioner (hate that!). Air con average. Breakfast buffet good. Room and furnishings traditional and luxe feel. View from room not the best but room itself was huge and well equipped and very clean. No pool. What would improve the hotel from an impression would be clean up the front outside and maintenance eg painting tiles paving garden as it looks sad compared to the inside.
• jean pierre (10/5): Perfect hotel in a perfect location - Everything was as it should be from the location the cleanliness the staf the large room and a wonderful breakfast Highly recommended
• Verified traveler (10/5): Magnificent - Awesome!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautifully designed hotel - Very comfortable hotel with excellent service and breakfast. Wifi throughout the hotel and strong working AC. Complimentary airport drop off and lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Fruit basket and macaroons given at check in were delicious!
• Rick wang kay (10/5): friendly staffs and quality food - staying in other hotels at Vientiane for number of times, included Lao plaza. Found this hotel provide very good breakfast with good coffee. Staffs were friendly, only problem is the number of rooms available, its always book out.
• Matthew (10/5): Suite was wonderful - The hotel is well situated, just a short walk to the night market and many restaurants and shopping opportunities. The staff are very kind and helpful. The suite we stayed in was enormous and comfortable. I did not see any of the standard rooms, but the suite was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.
• SHARON (10/5): Elegant hotel - Friendly helpful staff. Big room and very nice breakfast. Elegant hotel Close to bars and restaurants Nice treats on the turndown service
• Rhonda (10/5): Excellent hotel - Lovely hotel in great location. Beautiful rooms. Every wonderful.
• David (10/5): Do youself a favor - stay here - This hotel is a jewel in a downtrodden, Communist country. The staff was always ready to help with sage information. Our rooms and public areas were spotless. The air conditioning worked superbly
• David (10/5): Do yourself a favor and book Dhavara Boutique - The staff do an incredible job in a depressed, Communist environment. The staff made us genuinely feel welcome and appreciated as guests. We can thank the French for the scrumptious pastries and perfect baguettes. Properly functioning and balanced air conditioning is an oasis in this hot, humid city.
• Howard (8/5): Super location, very pleasant hotel - Location would be hard to beat I would think, although I am not that familiar with the layout of the city. In the heart of what seems to be the shopping/restaurant/bar hub of Vientiane, and within walking distance of two of its three top tourist sights. Also a short stroll to the banks of the Mekong River. The hotel itself offers good value at this price. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable, breakfast is really excellent, service seemed to be enthusiastic. Being critical, there are a few bits of the premises that need some maintenance -- but hey, we are in Laos. I suspect it is indeed among the top 2 or 3 hotels in the city, but they will need a bit more upkeep to maintain this status. Recommended, and we shall quite likely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Vientiane
• Helen (10/5): Great hotel in the centre of town - We stayed only one night here but were very happy with the hotel. It is right in the town centre and within walking distance of the park and the night market. The breakfast was great - both buffet and a la carte and the hotel arranged free transport back to the airport. Cannot fault the service. Excellent hotel
• Edmund (8/5): Worthy of serious consideration..... - Tradional ,spacious and comfortable hotel. Fabulous and accommodating staff. Complimentary airport shuttle was a great bonus and making life easy. Location central to all needs too.....Restaurant,located on second floor, offers good selection of tempting dishes and the range of breakfast options caters for a wide range of tastes. Wonderful reading / rest area worthy of a visit too.....
• choochart (10/5): - Awesome
• Verified traveler (10/5): Dhavara Boutique Hotel stay - We had a great stay at Dhavara Boutique Hotel. Nice big room and great service overall. We will definitely stay at this hotel again.
• kishore (10/5): Location location - This place is a stones throw from Mekong river and evening market and restaurant etc. so literally 4 minutes away yet peaceful. We had a fifth floor room which was double the size of British hotel rooms.
• Verified traveler (8/5): a great stay - Overall an excellent stay. The location was very convenient - close to sites and restaurants/ bars. The room was spacious and well appointed. WiFi was very quick. The only (minor) negative was that the front desk was surprisingly unhelpful - no help getting a taxi or arranging onward travel. This was a minor complaint. Overall, would definitely recommend.
• Benjamin (10/5): Good location, room and bathroom - Rooms are big, bathroom is great with big tub. Hotel is located near most of the sights and to do in Vientiane. Very near to their night market. I would stay here again if i m coming back to Vientiane. 10 mins to airport.
• chris (8/5): Very nice hotel in great location - Lovely big rooms and bathrooms. Some nice small touches also. Very good freshly cooked breakfast as well as buffet. Location very good, within walking distance of most things Staff at the hotel were delightful There isn't a pool
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good hotel for the asking price - Hotels in Vientiane are really old and expensive. This is one of the best hotels there for the asking price so don't expect much. The staffs are nice and helpful.
