Hotel satisfactory

Pros: Excellent staff
Cons: Menu overall (see above) Complimentary airport transfers
Location: Location well away from CBD and tourist spots.... no quality bus service in Vientiane and Tuk Tuks were poor quality
Hotel satisfactory: not centrally located and despite characteristics of the hotel on various reviews, the hotel would be best described as a 3 and half star. The only thing going for the hotel is the excellent staff. The restaurant menu was presented as three separate menus.... poor!..... should be pulled together as one menu... with headings as APPETISERS, MAINS (Laotian, Thai, Chinese, Western etc), DESSERTS Breakfast food range extensive but of average quality. Strange that airport transfer to hotel was $10, yet complimentary back to the airport.
