Oldy but a goody

What we say:

Much like Sabaydee Guesthouse across the road, Oudomphone has been around for years offering simple clean rooms to travellers. Rooms come with a TV and hot water bathrooms and a smattering of free WiFi – it works in some rooms and not others. There's also a choice of air-con rooms here, but you won't need that in the cooler months. The owners can usually be found sitting out the front in the attached restaurant and are pleasant enough. Good location, close to centre of town.

Could be cleaner

Stayed here for three nights in two different rooms. Both rooms could have been cleaner (don't try to move the bed...), and the bedding could be better too. The rate was 60,000 (we make it a habit to pay everything in kip in Laos, it's far cheaper!) for the fan room (you don't need air-con in Nov - Jan). Laundry was 15,000k per kilo, which is quite expensive.

Comfortable and clean

Family run including a restaurant. The accom. building is set back from the street. The daughter understands english and is very helpful. Room was clean,TV,ensuite(good hot water),wardrobe,table & chairs. Quiet at night. I watched 4 travellers canvass at least 3 other guesthouses before checking in to Oudomphone. A/C-500B/120,000kip. Fan room was 350B/85,000kip. No safe deposit box but they looked after my valuables.

A good find

Checked out Thavaveesinh Hotel (Guesthouse?) and a couple of other places beforehand. This was much better - newer and fresher. USD5 for fan room and USD10 for air conditioning. Very friendly owner (family run a restairant overlooking the Mekong).

Great Place

Stayed here for one night before crossing to Chiang Khong. Nice people and a good clean room with hot hot water and A/C. Does not get as good rating as it should on here IMHO.
