Description
This attractive series of buildings has a much better atmosphere than the Souriya, it's popular neighbour across the street, and there's a restaurant on site. There's a good selection of rooms, starting with two cheap fan doubles in the reception building, but we were disappointed to find the air-con rooms we saw a bit dank and smelly. We reckon it's worth a look, though -- there are 39 rooms, and some of them are bound to be better than others.

Aounekham Guest House
3km south of the roundabout, Lak Xao
We were hoping to find a hidden gem out here on the edge of town. The outside looks attractive, and it gives on to a pretty patch of woods -- but unfortunately the rooms offer no views and felt cramped. All the toilets are squat style, but at least the showers are all hot-water. Really not worth... more
Souriya Hotel
100m south of the roundabout, Lak Xao
This is probably the most popular places in town. We found the atmosphere here a little dead, and it's too bad they don't have a restaurant on site. But the rooms are reliably clean, come with TVs standard, and even the air-con versions are easy on the nose. Some of the cheaper rooms have no... more
Phonechaleun Guest House
300m east of the roundabout, Lak Xao
This place was completely empty on our visit, but we were able to dig up a staff member to show us the rooms. They're basic, but clean, with fans, some small furnishings, and private, cold-water bathrooms with squat toilets. It's worth a mention for you bargain hunters because the rooms are the... more
Souki (Suki) Guesthouse and Restaurant
Downtown, Lak Xao
When we visited, this place was mostly a vacant lot about to undergo a large construction project. There were also (literally) one hundred yellow cases of empty Beer Lao bottles stacked in front of the guest house. A testament to the popularity of the on-site restaurant as a late-night drinking... more
