Passed Craters pub on the main road in town, this stalwart of the accommodation scene in Phonsavan has a good reputation. The rooms are clean and spacious. All rooms come with air-con, cable TV and hot water. The beds are large and comfortable and the hotel is kept immaculately clean. The staff are friendly and help, speaking excellent English. The only downside is the ridiculously small bathrooms. You can book tours and trips at reception. This is a good mid-range option if you are looking for comfort on a budget. Be warned though, the rooms fill up quickly because of its popularity.

Happy at Nice - 27th September, 2009
The staff at Nice Guest House were friendy and helpful. They can arrange Jars tours. The room I had was upstairs, with a good view from the balcony. My room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was fine. Good location.
