Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to TVS Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the top floor (likely 4th or 5th) facing away from the main road. These will have less street noise and better airflow in Vientiane's heat.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or reception — street noise from motorbikes and tuk-tuks will carry. Also skip rooms directly above the breakfast area if the hotel has one on the ground floor.
Best views
Rooms facing the courtyard or side street offer a quieter outlook over neighbouring buildings or gardens, not the main road.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above, ideally at the rear of the building.
🔊 Noise notes
Traffic from Vientiane's main arteries (e.g., Rue Samsenthai or Rue Setthathirath) can be loud until late evening. Early morning garbage trucks and market deliveries may also occur near the hotel if it's close to the morning market.
Insider tips
Request a room on a higher floor at booking — 3-star hotels here rarely have lifts, so you'll avoid stairs noise from other guests. If arriving by car, ask about free parking (often limited to a few spots out front). Check if the hotel offers a minibar or fridge — useful for keeping water cold in the humid climate.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
