There are many guesthouses and inexpensive
hotels to stay at in Vientiane. Vientiane is small enough in that it is
fairly easy to walk around looking for lodging (if you do not have
pre-arranged accommodations).
Tuk-tuk drivers are found all over town - and for a few thousand kip
will take you across town. Be sure to bargain with these drivers - in my
experience they always initially offer a very high price.

Hayasoke Guest House is a clean, comfortable, &
affordable guest house located at 083/1-2 Hengboon St - several blocks
in from the Mekong River. Its within walking distance of the river
front, Internet cafes, and the main center of town. There is a room on
the ground floor (3 beds) - and of course more rooms on the upper
floors. For more information please visit email them at haysok@hotmail.com or

River View Hotel is about $10 a night for singles - ask for a
room with a view of the Mekong - as a lot of the rooms here do not have
views. For more information call 216244.
