Returned to this hotel. My flight was at 5:45 PM, and I arrived in Vientiane from Pakse at 8 AM. So, I booked a room again to rest, store my luggage, do laundry, and shower. Since I hadn't showered for two nights on the bus, it was a huge relief when the hotel immediately washed my clothes. By the time I checked out at 2 PM, everything was dry.
I called the hotel and spoke to someone at the front desk who spoke Chinese. I was able to arrange an early check-in for the morning (my flight was the night before) and a late check-out until 2 PM, for which I paid the standard fee. When I was checking in, the other staff members didn't seem to understand and kept searching for today's booking, saying they couldn't find it, and initially refused the late check-out. Luckily, a Chinese guest I had met during my previous stay was still there and helped communicate in English. They eventually allowed me to check in but still insisted on a 12 PM check-out. However, I didn't actually use the bed, so they didn't need to clean it; I just took a shower and sat in the lobby until 2 PM.
This hotel offers great value for money, and the food is delicious. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Vientiane.
