The easy to miss Sensaly is run by a lovely family. Just as you turn the corner (from the bus station end of town) on the main road running through town, the Sensaly is on your right. There is a small compound with a few trees. The entrance is their house, and access to the separate guesthouse buildings is via their open kitchen. Rooms are simple, smallish and homely but clean, with a mosquito net and tiny bathroom with squat toilet and cold bucket wash. Every night, the family will bring a thermos of hot water which can be used to make tea with the supplies provided in the room or to warm up your shower. A shared front balcony looks over Phongsali, while the back windows look out over mountains. It has a really comforting atmosphere, even though it's not the best in town.
