Nam Ou Guesthouse and Restaurant

Prime location - 25th January, 2010
When the bus trip from Vietnam blew out to 12 and a half hours with 38 people in 21 seats, and we arrived in the dark, we were in no mood for looking around - Nam Ou was offering rooms and we took them. The guesthouse is right by the river, but it's still a bit of clambering around to get up to the rooms. We took a double with private bathroom for 50000 and a single without for 25000 both in the old building. The rooms were OK with comfy beds, but the electrics were a bit scary. I didn't manage to get hot water to work. The balcony restaurant was comfortable and served great food & drink at a good price. About 10pm the town power cut out, but they seem to have a secondary supply which at least keeps some lights going.

A good place - 21st January, 2010
We stayed here for 3 nights in Dec and had stayed before 2 years earlier. Other places in town look good too but this has the advantage of the balcony with stunning views of the Nam Ou and riverside life. It seemed slightly less friendly than 2 years earlier - we wondered if the reduction in numbers was a serious worry - but it's still a good place with decent food. After the first night in the old building we moved to one of the new rooms on the balcony beside the restaurant - good, reliable hot water and a western style loo.
