For the price, this place is excellent. The location couldn't be better, and having aircon and a private bathroom for near-hostel prices was great. Most of the hotels in Vientiane in this price range have shared toilets and ceiling fans. The bed was really hard, which I don't mind, since I live in Asia, but head's up for Western travelers who aren't used to more "Asian-style" accommodations. You're right downtown, only a few minutes' walk to the Night Market, with easy access to coffee shops, restaurants, tuk-tuks, and banks/ATMs.
