3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 NEW

I paid 50,000 a night for a dorm room on the roof level. There were 4 flights of stairs and a shared bathroom. Despite the non-luxuries, the location of the guesthouse was 20 seconds from the river and right in the centre in the midst of the action. The staff were very helpful and the wifi in the foyer made... More

We asked the staff who have visa-service to arrange Cambodiavisas for us. On return it turned out they took 15 US dollar per person for the service. That is too much for such an easy service. Making money too easily seems to be their tendency. More

I had a bed in a 3-bed mixed dorm. Basic but comfortable with 3 individual ceiling fans. Bathroom facilities shared with whole floor but I never at any point had to wait for a toilet or shower. The location is great and there's some good cafes and restaurants nearby. The staff were really cheerful and helpful. Overall, great value for... More

Another example of a hotel that gets a good review then decides it doesn't have to do any work from then on. We had a water heater in our room that they didn't fix even though we asked several times. Had to use the shower in the hall but of course there is no discount for the having a shower... More

Room was a nice size and fairly clean although the trash hadn't been emptied in the bathroom and the drain was clogged. Not a big issue as it's not a four star place! Staff were friendly enough and helpful, we asked for directions and booked tickets with them. Wifi is not the best but you can get it around town... More

Had the smallest room ever with fan (the AC did not work). The hot water did not get hot and there were mini bugs in the bath. The breakfast was one egg. Pass on this one. More

Prices seem to have risen since my Lonely Planet guide was published in 2010. However, for 55'000 kip I got breakfast, by far the best bed I have seen in Laos and a very clean dorm with clean bathroom and shower. Both staff and fellow guests have been very friendly. More

Stayed in the guesthouse in a dorm room for 2 nights. The room was clean and the beds comfortable, included breakfast I found to be great and the staff were all very friendly. The only negative for me was the price. Reading tripadvisor i was led to believe it would be about €1 - 4, however the cheapest possible option... More

It's got the the 3 C's and definitely worth staying in -- You might need to climb some stairs with your bags but that's about the only negative thing I can say about this place. And, yeah -- some of the staff can be a bit unfriendly (but perhaps they're just a bit shy). More

Perfect for anyone looking for a simple but accommodating hotel. Stayed here twice while traveling around Laos and have nothing but positive things to say. Great pricing and location makes it a popular choice and rooms fill up quickly. There is also a Mixay II close by if it is full. The rooms are simple but clean. Hot water, clean... More
