Champasak Palace Hotel
Kitch 50's classic
Southern Road 13, Pakse
T: (031) 212 263; F: (031) 212 781;(031) 252 131This place was once described quite accurately in one guidebook as looking like a giant wedding cake, but a recent paint job and renovation have brought out the lines of the classic French ... Read the full review of Champasak Palace Hotel.

Pakse Hotel
Great views
Road 5, Pakse
T: (031) 212 131; F: (031) 212 719This is the largest centrally located hotel in Pakse. All rooms are spotless and have air-con, TV, minibar, hot water and sanitary devices -- though we couldn't work out what this meant -- perhaps ... Read the full review of Pakse Hotel.

Sedone River Guesthouse
Great riverside location, very plain rooms
By the river, Pakse
This is probably the best budget place to stay in Pakse. It's sometimes hard to scare up the staff here, but once you do you'll be offered a very decent room for the price, and it's the only ... Read the full review of Sedone River Guesthouse.

Narin Thachalern Hotel
Spotless
Road 21, Pakse
T: (031) 212 927;This spotless shopfront in a central location has a handful of rooms which are all very spacious and are well looked after. While the shared bathroom rooms are overpriced, the others are fair value. ... Read the full review of Narin Thachalern Hotel.

Vannapha Hotel
Nothing great, but worth the price
Road 9, Pakse
T: (031) 212 502;This is really the only 'out of the way' option worth seeking out if you want to get away from the crowds. It's in a good location to patronise the food stalls along the water where the fish farms ... Read the full review of Vannapha Hotel.

A friendly mid-range option
13 Rd, Pakse

Phonesavanh Guesthouse
A reasonable choice
Pakse
T: (031) 212 842;The Phonesavanh Hotel is a bit of a hole, but the associated guesthouse down the road to the east is one of the top choices in town. It loses in the popularity sweep-stakes to the Sabaidy 2 up the ... Read the full review of Phonesavanh Guesthouse.

Lao Cha Leun Hotel
Average value
Road 6, Pakse
T: (031) 251 333; F: (031) 251 138Situated opposite the Salachampa Hotel, this multi-storey hotel is average value compared to some of the other offerings in town. Their small rooms are cramped while their flasher offerings, though ... Read the full review of Lao Cha Leun Hotel.

Sabaidy 2 Guesthouse
Top traveller's spot
Road 24, Pakse
T: (031) 212 992; F: (031) 212 992By far the most popular backpacker choice in town, Sabaidy 2 has clean and comfortable rooms with shared facilities or with private, hot-water bathroom. The rooms are smallish, but in a nod to taste ... Read the full review of Sabaidy 2 Guesthouse.

Road 10, Pakse
T: (031) 212 273; F: (031) 212 646If you want genuine colonial flavour, the Salachampa is your only choice in Pakse. While comfortable, it is overpriced when compared to other options in town -- you'll get cable TV, hot showers, and ... Read the full review of Salachampa Hotel.

Thaluang Guest House
An overflow option
Road 24, Pakse
T: (031) 251 399; F: (031) 212 206On the corner near the Sabaidy 2, the Thaluang is in a good position to catch the overflow when Sabaidy 2 is full, which is most of the time. But it has no atmosphere, and the rooms we saw here ... Read the full review of Thaluang Guest House.

Lan Kham Hotel
Pokey rooms
Road 13, Pakse
T: (031) 213 314;The cheapest rooms in this central four-storey hotel are so pokey that the washbasin doesn't fit in the bathroom and is in the bedroom instead. They're also on the top floor, which requires a climb ... Read the full review of Lan Kham Hotel.

Phonesavanh Hotel
Badly rundown
Road 13, above the Nazim Restaurant, Pakse
T: (031) 252 912;Last time we visited this place we were praying they would refurbish it. They have, sort of -- a coat of powder blue paint over all the time-worn woodwork. Looks OK, but it also means that until the ... Read the full review of Phonesavanh Hotel.

Souksamlane Hotel
Dingy
Road 6, Pakse
T: (020) 563 2077;This is another of Pakse's central but dingy hotels -- we actually thought it was an abandoned building until a sleepy but friendly clerk arose from behind the bare front desk to greet us. Like the ... Read the full review of Souksamlane Hotel.
