Tumtum Cheng Guest House
Mellow hideaway

What we say: 
Rooms are small and a bit dark at this quiet spot close to Wat Xieng Thong, but some will appreciate the hippy hideaway vibe. The house has a small collection of doubles and one family room and there's a mellow common area with a collection of art and books plus free tea and coffee for guests. Rooms are nothing to write home about, but all have air-con, reasonably soft beds, and attached bathrooms with hot shower and Western toilet. A well-kept garden and outdoor seating add to the calm vibe and make great spots to lounge about with a cup of tea.

Disappointing!!
We stayed a week having booked and paid in advance and for the price we expected more! Clean but drab rooms where EVERY sound from adjoining rooms echoed through the building! Nonchalant staff and frequent losses of power and water, and at the time of our stay the noise from surrounding building sites was incessant. Pleasant location but a quite a long walk to the central area of LP. Win some lose some.

Friendly?? I think NOT
Booked well in advance and received email confirmation a few days before arriving. After an 11 hour bus trip from Luang Nam Tha the slimly guy on the front desk told us we hadn't made a booking. Unfortunately for him we are not totally stupid and could see the board with reservations and our room (no. 7) with a reservation written it. Basically he called us liars and when we pointed out the reservation on the board he said he would find us somewhere to stay (now 9.30pm). He managed to find us the most disgusting rat infested S%$#Hole in LP and for $15us. We moved to Sayo the next day and loved it. To be honest Tum Tum looked like a daggy overpriced motor inn so we were glad we stayed somewhere else anyway.

Nice and Good Value
Nice and good value. However, not located on the main street of activities. Gotta turn round a corner to get to it. My female friend dare not walk back to the guest house herself during the night. Overall, nice and quiet place to stay. Only US20 for double.

Perfect location!
Very good and quiet area just opposite Wat Xieng Thong.From the 2nd floor verandah you can hear the every evening monks-chanting(18:30!Don´t go there before, because you´ve to pay the admission!)Staircases on the Mekong river banks lead to small boats, which bring you to Pak Ou Caves and Whisky Village, but choose them carefully!The guesthouse itself is very clean, big bathroom and friendly staff.Wat Sibounheuang is situated on the back and you can hear the early morning Gooong to wake up the monks through your small window!Well furnished, tiled floors everywhere,AC,no TV. Paid just 20$ for doubleroom in Highseason!Highly recommended!!!
