"Probably the cheapest place in town, with spartan rooms ranging from fan singles to triples with either attached bathrooms or shared facilities."
Lonely Planet
"This is one of Vientiane’s cheapest guesthouses. The rooms are clean, but very basic, and the atmosphere is very laid-back. It’s popular with backpackers, particularly Japanese." Full review

"Among the best hotels in Vientiane during the 1960s, Lane Xang took on a decidedly Stalinist feel after it was nationalized in 1975."
Rough Guide
"It has a charming retro appeal, and the rooms are large, clean and quirky, with impressive bedsteads."
Lonely Planet
"Built in the 1960s on the site of a prominent Lan Xang–era wat, this hotel facing the Mekong was once the classiest place in town. It...retains a certain socialist-era feel." Full review
