Stayed in the Gold Orchid Hotel for two nights, I found the hotel not so appealing. It is not located at the city centre, and not close to any MRT or BST stations. Taxi is the only way to get to any hot sightseeing or shopping spots. And the hotel itself is small--though a little pool is available--that it is a place nothing more than a place to stay.
The hotel, however, is located rather close to the airport with an expressway leading to Duo Muong standing right at the front of the hotel. The modern settings make it quite a comfortable place to stay with limited budget.
