DK Eyewitness "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
