This guesthouse in vientiane isn't bad, its on Setthathirat Road opposite Wat In Peng and about 250 meters from Tha Taipan Hotel, rooms are from 60,000kip to 110,000kip, ie from 250baht per night for a fan room, outside bathrooms with hotwater, although one of the heaters didn't work so you have to avoid that one, the place is pretty clean, you get a couple of towels, small soaps and a bottle of water.

Setthathirat Road and the road the Taipan hotel is on are probably the best places to look for guesthouses, the Taipan hotel road leads to the River Mekong so its real close to all the river front restaurants, and there are plenty of restaurants and bars on Setthathirat Road, plus a few temples for those into a bit of culture.

The front of the guesthouse.



Its a no smoking hotel but has a couple of seats outside in the baking hot sun where you can smoke, obviously no ashtrays or anything like that.



The guesthouse foyer is quite nice, few fishtanks and they sell soft drinks, who goes to Laos to drink softdrinks when they got beer Lao down the road though.



The bedroom, this one overlooked the temple.





One of the shared toilets, pretty clean, bum gun and toilet paper.
