Lao Wooden House lives up to its name with richly panelled rooms and dark woods galore. Surprisingly, this isn't overwhelming and the place is positively gleaming with polished surfaces. White bedding provides an aesthetic contrast to the deeply coloured walls, and windows let enough light in to help brighten things up. Sparkly bathrooms are ample and well-outfitted with plush white towels. Upstairs rooms have cushy carpeting and share a wrap-around balcony with other double-decker guests. Downstairs, floors are hardwood, but rooms are otherwise the same. The included breakfast is served on a tiled patio dotted with creamy umbrellas and later on you can enjoy a drink from the small bar. Rates seem a bit up for discussion so it wouldn't hurt to ask for a discount.

Favourite place of the trip! - 16th October, 2009
Ah we already miss our little wooden house! We stayed here 4 nights and have nothing but good things to say about it. Service was fantastic, staff were lovely, rooms were beautiful and clean. Great location and the breakfast on the patio was something to look forward to. Excellent!

Very nice !! - 5th June, 2009
wonderful hotel in a prime location with a very nice staff. The rooms are very clean and nicely furnished. Even a safe deposit box is available. For longer stays you should buy your own jam otherwise there is every day strawberry. Internet and WiFi are also available in each room. Highly recommended.
