I enjoyed my stay at Villa Sisavid. I was in Vientiane for the first time, doing a visa run, and hired a bicycle to get around, which I recommend doing.
The location is reasonably quiet but there are shops nearby for food, drinks,etc.
The pool is lovely and kept very clean, definitely a big plus! Sitting near the pool and having a drink at the end of the day was very relaxing.
The rooms are a little run down. The bed in particular was old and needs to be replaced with a new one.
The walls need a new coat of paint and some cracked tiles should be replaced.
I would say that with a little work done, Villa Sisavad could go to a 3.5 rating but at the moment it feels a little run down so I would give it 2.8
