    We really liked everything about the hotel and our stay. The location was perfect for us - everything in walking distance but out of more noisy area. The breakfast was very good, and we very much enjoyed the pool and pool area, it is truly an oasis of calm. Would come back anytime.

    I did not like the white tops the male staff wear. They could be updated to something more contemporary . Maybe it is a period style to suit eta of hotel but it does not work The souvenirs for sale in the carbonates looked tired ! Also need to be updated to more interesting items. I was also disappointed with the fact that I had to change $ cash which they kindly did. However they were all badly marked and after I left hotel I could not use in Laos or Thailand. I thought this was not nice knowing that marked notes are not excepted. These were badly marked

    Atmosphere, garden, helpful staff and wonderful room . Also love the location

    Not much - breakfast eggs were great but I'd look for better French bread, but that is small compared to the whole experience.

    A beautiful building and so peaceful considering how close to main roads. Staff were lovely, the pool was bliss. The room was comfortable, spotless and calm. It's great for a treat of old style calm

    Very dark room, on road/ front entrance side. even in daytime had to switch on lights , so gloomy and one certainly didn’t want to spend anytime in it. Breakfast uninspiring, limited choice and biting insects if sitting in garden/pool area. Although staff very helpful and tried hard, there was limited information for a first time visitor to know where to go, and what to do and see, if one wanted to get out of Vientiane, even within it.

    Old colonial style hotel, ideal for a short stay. , easy to walk to various restaurants

    A haven of comfort and tranquility, complemented by excellent service and a prime location.

    While most aspects of the hotel were exemplary, the breakfast selection presented a slight disappointment. The lack of dark bread options, with only baguette and toast available, was a minor letdown. However, this was somewhat compensated by the excellent quality of their coffee and croissants, which was a delightful start to each morning.

    My recent stay at the Settha Palace Hotel in Vientiane, Laos, was an experience steeped in comfort and convenience. Nestled in a prime location, the hotel stands as a testament to hospitality excellence, with a staff that exemplifies friendliness and accommodation. The junior suite, my home during the stay, was a delightful retreat. The bed was the epitome of comfort, ensuring restful nights after days of exploring the city. The bathroom, equipped with a strong and consistently hot water supply, added a touch of luxury to my daily routine. The standout feature, however, was the remarkable tranquility within the room. Despite the bustling activity outside, the room remained a quiet sanctuary, a feature greatly appreciated in any urban accommodation. The hotel's location deserves special mention. It’s ideally situated, making it a perfect base for exploring the vibrant city of Vientiane. Whether it was for business or leisure, I found its location to be incredibly convenient. In conclusion, Settha Palace Hotel is a remarkable choice for anyone visiting Vientiane. It blends comfort, tranquility, and excellent service, creating a memorable stay. The overall experience was so positive that I wouldn't hesitate to choose this hotel again for my next visit to Vientiane. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful and comfortable stay in the heart of the city.

    World class French colony-style hotel. Excellent location in a tropical garden with nice pool. Excellent food and a good breakfast buffet. Fantastic staff - very smiling and helpful. Different possibilities for massage. Can recommend head and shoulder massage. Hotel, restaurant and massage very much affordable. Staff very helpful when we had to visit Alliance Medical Center (also fantastic service and staff) after a fall. We were brought there by hotel staff and they assisted us all 2-hours we were there and brought safely back. Thanks a lot all at Settha Palace Hotel. We will definitely be back at Settha.

    The weather has been on the rainy side so I could not use the swimming pool. Of course it's rainy season...

    Settha Palace is a great surprise that such a historical building is just hidden in Vientiane's most centered area. Yet it keeps its quietness and privacy. The staff was awesome and friendly. The manager Saylohid was super helpful. I highly recommend this hotel for people looking for style, comfort and convenience.

    Lovely hotel in quiet part of town but still walkable to everything in the town area. Great pool, great breakfast but we did have to ask for some items that weren’t immediately offered.

    The Setta Palace is far and away the best hotel in Vientiane, and one of the best in Southeast Asia. The grounds are lovely, the rooms, the dining room, and other common areas have that classic, old luxury hotel feel. Yet the prices are competitive with the newer, sterile-feeling chain hotels now opening as the economy expands.
