overall is good

Because it was low season. On our first day the breakfast was a la card instead of buffet. We always love the buffet which we had the 2nd day. But nevertheless the breakfast was very nice.

The swimming pool was great. It was low season so a little quiet in the hotel. I loved the building and the old vibe. We were happy we choose for this hotel in Vientiane

liquid soap dispenser in bathroom would be nice rather than soap cakes

Staff at Settha Palace were friendly and helpful, getting us LOCA taxis, a softer pillow and looking after us. Great Mojitos and drinks around the lovely pool, all within walking distance to the old town, night market and restaurants. Its a beautifully finished building in classic style with comfortable well appointed rooms.

The water system could've been better. It takes time to get the right temperature.

Breakfast was great. The hotel is beautiful and elegant. The room is very pleasant to stay, and the view of the garden is very healing.

Nothing really.

Staying here was an experience, in a very good way. Its quite a big building, French colonial. But fairly few rooms so it took a while to adjust to somewhere that was not trying to pack the guests in. The service was exceptional - a real touch of luxury. A great pool too.

everything was perfect

As an elderdly solo woman traveller, I seek out boutique hotels in good locations in order to be close to everything I need. This place exceeded my expectations. The staff, management (leonard) were very attentive.

The rooms were dark. All beds in Thailand and Laos were very firm. Very different than U.S. accommodations. However we realized we slept very well and with no aches or pains.

Of course the hotel was beautiful. The staff was extra attentive. The pool area was beautiful. Unfortunately there were loud jackhammers being used in town near the hotel. But the staff was apologetic and offered me a free drink outside by the pool. I declined as it really wasn’t necessary as I was enjoying reading my book in such pleasant surroundings. The breakfast was very nice. A selection of local dishes as well as eggs, pastries, potatoes, yogurt, oatmeal, granola, etc. Also pancakes one day and French toast the second day.

Food and spa, and the room itself, are a bit overpriced.

Beautiful historic hotel, perfect position, nice room and staff. Overall a really nice and classy stay.

Restaurant isn’t great and very very expensive. We went to the best and most expensive restaurants in Vientiane. The food was amazing but I didnt see anther restaurant in the whole city even half as expensive. I certainly saw better quality and more authentic food. No hand shower. I have long hair so it was very awkward to wash ,my hair without a hand shower. The layout and design means there’s a lot of flies and insects in the main pool area.. If you open your bedroom window insects fly in. They try their best with a discreet attractive looking mosquito killer in each room but it’s still a problem and the rest of the city does not have this problem. Unfortunately its the design of the hotel

Staff very attentive but only Hid who runs reception understands English. This can make life tricky. Maybe they dont have so many English speaking guests. I dont know. Hid is fantastic and a great asset. Without him the hotel would be chaotic I liked the breakfast

The hotel location was great and the room was fantastic. Breakfast could have been a bit better - the buffet room was quite tight and with 2-3 people in it you could not move very easily.

We like the colonial charm of the hotel and the staff.

The breakfast was fantastic.

I would have preferred to have more spaces to hang my towels in the bathroom and to have a handheld shower head but this is just an extra "nice to have"

It was just a wonderful stay- the building style, colonial style furniture, exquisite decor, staff that quickly learns what guests like and dislike and treats guests professionally and cordially. Hotel management is present, accessible, and friendly. Interesting stories about the history of the place and how it coped with the recent COVID crisis. The Garden and the pool area are an enclave in a busy Vientiane. The food was good and nicely presented.
