We House Guest House

Convenient location, almost in the center. View of the river. Fast check-in. Almost all food is spicy for breakfast.

A very decent hotel for the money. Situated in the centre, right on the embankment, two minutes from the morning market. You can really see the river from the room overlooking it. The staff is friendly but unobtrusive, and responded promptly to my requests. The room is large enough if you spend most of your time outside. There is a kettle and a hairdryer, TV and WiFi. I never turned on the first one, though. There is a socket by the bed. The air conditioner worked properly. The bed linen and towels are of excellent quality. It lacks a small refrigerator. The breakfast is weak. Purely Asian - noodle soup, egg, spicy cabbage salad and watermelon. Some porridge or yogurt would be nice. For a price of up to $25 per night, I definitely recommend it.

Yes, the boss is from Northeast China, but the waiters try to make them learn Chinese or simple English.

The free breakfast was very delicious. And I was grateful for the bathtub. It was cold so I was able to warm up. It's rare to find a room with a bathtub at this price. It's the best! Unfortunately, I stayed for 3 nights and there was no bed making or cleaning. When I asked, they only took out the trash and replenished the water and tissues. I wish they had cleaned it properly. Also, the mold in the bathroom was terrible, which was hard for someone with asthma. The smell of sewage was extremely bad for the first two days. I was originally scheduled to stay for 4 days, but I had to cancel one day due to a train schedule, and I didn't complain because they were kind enough to cancel, but please at least clean up the mold. Even just spraying it with ethanol makes a difference. The smell of sewage suddenly disappeared on the third day, which was good. Maybe it was because I turned off the exhaust fan that I had left on. The hotel is located right in front of the Mekong River. It's conveniently located near restaurants, markets, and alms-giving. The bed was comfortable. There is a TV but no remote control and it's broken so you can't watch it. Even if there was one, I wouldn't watch it so it's not a problem. There was a teapot in the restaurant but I didn't touch it because I didn't know if it was OK to drink it. The service was a bit distant, but maybe that's just how people in Laos are. I'd like to come again if it wasn't for the mold and smell!
