Viryla Boutique Hotel

This was my first experience in Laos, and I loved this hotel. The team were so helpful and friendly. If you are looking to stay just slightly out of town where its peaceful and quiet then I do recommend this hotel. I would say its a good 15 minute walk into the historic centre of town along the promenade of the Mekong River. Might take you a bit longer if the heat bothers you, as you may have to stop off in a coffee shop along the way! The small plunge pool was fantastic to cool off after a busy day sightseeing. The reception staff assisted me in booking the taxi's for the city sightseeing and Buddha Park. Overall, that seems expensive per trip, but honestly I thought it was worth it especially for the Buddha Park as that is approx 45 minutes drive away. The city tour, you can do yourself and even get a tuk tuk to help you get to the further out of town places. I enjoyed dinner at the local restuarants along the promenade - few minutes walk from the Hotel - enjoyed the meat BBQ literally in front of the Hotel, and then just a bit further down had lovely fresh fish BBQ. The staff also recommended a traditional Lao restuarant one day - Kaolao - its on the other side of town, and would recommend it if you prefer to sit in a restaurant. I know that Laos had a very hard time during "COVID" but they are starting to bounce back and would love your custom. Vientiane is a quiet and sleepy captial city, so enjoy exploring the side streets and colourful temples.

Very close to the airport and excellent service.

So easy to get to the airport. Comfortable, spacious room with bathtub. Restaurant downstairs had the best chicken burger I’ve ever eaten.
