It's hard to imagine a hotel this size thriving in a place like Attapeu, and the fact is, it doesn't. It's changed hands and been renamed numerous times in recent years, and is now under the ownership of Attapeu Travel. The grounds are still pretty crummy and overgrown, but we saw signs that improvements were being made -- including a swimming pool -- and the new management has big plans for the place. In the meantime, it has some of the best rooms in town, with a decent variety of options in the mid-range, and attracts a steady trickle of visitors who wouldn't be caught dead in a guesthouse. The hotel is very service orientated with a polite and welcoming staff -- English, Vietnamese and French are spoken. It's home to the only travel agency in Attapeu where tour can be arranged locally -- Attapeu Travel -- though tour companies in other area can arrange similar tours. Motorcycle hire is US$10 a day, and bicycles are US$5 a day. One Travelfish user describes the restaurant here as 'dire' and we definitely agree -- the complimentary American breakfast is awful, and for the rest of your meals, you'll want to head to Ban Laek Tee Neung. Between having the only travel agency in town and the only internet access in town, this place may wing up being your base of operations, whether you stay here or not.

Great value - 8th January, 2008
Stayed two nights in an enormous double room with air-con, TV and fridge for US$12, breakfast included. Staff were helpful. No pool sighted. Breakfast okay, otherwise did not eat here. Would definitely go back again.

Very average - 29th September, 2006
Couldn't get excited about this one. I didn't notice the upgrades mentioned above. The restaurant was dire.

Great value, not much soul - 27th February, 2008
Agree wholeheartedly with most of Don's review above. Room quality can be pretty variable, and apart from Mr Yae (can't remember the spelling exactly) the staff are, well, underutilised (but probably best kept that way). And yes, engaging the kitchen is not for the faint hearted. But still, the rooms are excellent value and they do have probably the best rent bikes in town. Other places are more personal, but you shouldn't be too disappointed here. Oh, almost forgot -- this place is the town wedding reception centre, so on weekends be sure to get a room at the rear.
