Mandala is more like a bungalow or mansion rather than a hotel to me. I felt in love the moment I saw the photos on the website and decided to proceed with the booking.

Mandala has 2 type of Suite Room, 1 with a patio and 1 with a balcony. I really really want to experience both. So upon check-in, I asked the receptionist if I can experience both rooms during my short stay here and to my surprise without hesitation she said "Yes you can." with a smile on her face. Yeayyyyy!! 

Can you see the balcony? That's the room I stayed on our 2nd night onward

This was taken on my final morning here

This beautiful receptionist was the most helpful, attentive and friendly I ever encountered.

The cozy lobby where you can spend your time chilling or reading here

On the first night, we stayed in the Suite with Patio

Funny but true, my heart was stolen by this. And I had spent so much time here, reading

On the 2nd night onward, we moved to the Suite with Balcony

Nice deco along the corridor on the way to the room

Spacious living area which was way too big for us hehehehhe

The coffee house where we had breakfast every morning

Tiny buffet spread  but their homemade yogurt was the bomb!!

Hotel guest are allowed to ride these bicycle for free

I have no regret at all visiting Vientiane.  There are actually a lot of nice places to visit here. For Buddhist, there are few famous temples here. In fact, I encountered many monks from other country visiting and praying at the temples. If you are planning to come to Vientiane, please include Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage City in your itinerary. I did not do a proper research thus we missed that chance. What a waste!

I will blog about the food and interesting places to visit in my next entry.

Have a great weekend!!
