Opposite the Phongsali Hotel, in the western part of town, the three storey Viphaphone is notable due to its yellow exterior. If cleanliness and comfort are your priorities, then this is your best option in Phongsali. Rooms are large and clean, although the floors in some rooms need a sweep, and have comfy beds and a window with a view. Private bathrooms are pretty clean too, some with a western toilet and all hot shower. Foreigner prices are not cheap, but in the low season you should ask for a discount. A large room on the ground floor is occasionally used for functions and can get pretty noisy. Compared to family-run places, it's a little cold and unfriendly. Discounts on the room rate are available if you ask. Not much English is spoken, but the communication is reasonable.
