7.9/10
A comfortable central base whose friendly staff outshine its dated rooms.
City Inn is a straightforward 3-star in central Vientiane, and a good pick if you prioritize room space and helpful service over fresh interiors. Recent guests on Booking.com, Expedia and Trip.com repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. That Dam, cafés and the Ban Anou food market are within walking distance. Breakfast is generally considered sufficient rather than special, making this a practical base for a short city stay.
The recurring drawback is dated décor, with some guests also reporting unreliable TVs or awkward shower-temperature controls. Don't book it for an on-site pool: listings mentioning swimming refer to access nearby. Hotels.com lists a 4% credit-card surcharge. Construction noise was reported in 2025, but its current status is unconfirmed; light sleepers should check before booking. We'd skip it if modern finishes or resort-style facilities matter most.
