Description
Originally intended for rental as a private house, it was swiftly converted into a guesthouse after someone noticed that they had forgotten the kitchen. Beautifully done rooms with unusual attention to small details. All bathrooms are lovely, with hot shower and western toilet. Some rooms are tiny, although clean and simple. Rooms 1 and 3 are the best on offer, with several windows, more space and large bathrooms, which even boast baths. Prices are a little high for the standard, but Pack Luck is still worth considering. Previously known as Semiya Guesthouse.

Good location -

The guesthouse is strategically located: only a five minutes walk to the main street - Sisavangvong Street. In addition, it is plonked right in front of the temple where you can catch a glimpse of the alsmgiving process every morning without getting out of your room (should you so choose to do so!) The rooms at level one are crappy with no view; but the corner rooms on level 2 offer good lounging out balconies for you to chill out. A word of caution: the morning prayer - real early - can be quite loud. The good thing is that it doesn't last for more than 10 mins.
Price Rise - No rating given

We checked out Pack Luck. Downstairs room had gone up to $45 per night in January, no breakfast included. Room looked lovely, and mattresses reasonable ( big issue in Laos where they are mostly rock hard), but better value can be found.
Great Place ! -

I didn't find the staff here useless at all. I stayed in room 4 (double bed and en suite) for $20 a night and it was clean, great aircon, fridge in room and en suite BATH TUB(with shower) Have since recommended it to friends and will stay here again next year.
