Anouxsa Guesthouse

Top Spot! - 19th February, 2010
Anouxa is one of those places that feels like a million miles from Monday morning, with a well-kept garden, hammocks, and restaurant right on the river bank. It has more of an upscale air, getting more than its share of small-scale tour groups, but don't let that discourage you, as there are plenty of backpackers staying here as well. Either way, it makes for a good spot to meet others travellers. Rooms are expensive, ranging from 30,000 kip for a very basic room to 150,000 kip for an enormous, deluxe riverview room with a large veranda. Perhaps the best value are the gardenview fan rooms with attached hot-water bath for 60,000 kip (100K with A/C). Even at these prices, the rooms are a good deal, particularly given the grounds and the atmosphere. The friendly family that runs the place rents bicycles and can also help arrange for the bus or boat trip to Pakse. Bring a book and enjoy your time here.

great Mekong sunrises! - 16th January, 2009
Loved waking early to watch the sunrise over the Mekong--sublime... we had one of the concrete bungalows with veranda, great place to relax in the evenings with an icy Beer Lao. Food was pretty darn good as well. And plenty of Beer Lao on hand. I had fun with one of the proprietors catching crickets to feed the ever-hungry catfish in the pond. Hired bikes and rode out to Wat Phu, I really was not expecting such an amazing setting, we stayed for a few hours soaking it up. Very friendly and helpful hosts, arranged a boat for us over to Don Daeng where we did a homestay for a night--took bikes with us and explored, then spent the evening with our warm, amiable host family--highly recommended! There's a brand new, stylish Lao restaurant in town near the circle, great cocktails and very good food, but cannot recall the name...

nice location/ helpful staff - 21st January, 2008
perfect location by the river and at the end of town with a boat landing. Very nice and helpful staff. Organized the boat to Pakse for us - 5 people for 60.000 kip each. great boat trip! Anouxa is one of the places that has profited a lot from all the positive remarks on different travel guides. They have to be careful not to fall back. For me 150.000 kip for a riverfront room was highly overpriced: broken mosquito windows,smelly bathrooms. As I didn't see any other place in town, I couldn't say BEST IN TOWN.

Lovely family run place - 31st August, 2007
We really enjoyed our stay here, The family looked after us well, the food was great and it felt more like a homestay than a hotel. We were really sad to move on !

Good Place, Location a Bit Remote - 13th March, 2010
We sprang for one of their top rooms, for 150,000 kip. The room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. It had a big double bed and a single. The only complaint was the lighting; of the six light fixtures in the room, five were non-functional. When I complained, the owner replaced a couple of the burned out bulbs willingly enough. But for this kind of coin, that kind of detail should be looked after without waiting for customer complaints. The biggest drawback to Anouxsa is the location; it really is a long, long walk out from the center of town. The restaurant also features a very limited menu. On the upside, it's only about a 10 minute walk towards town to reach the wonderful Frice & Lujane restaurant. The restaurant is in a pretty garden behind a 1958 Lao-French villa. The menu is Italian. I had a scrumptious aubergine lasagna; my companion went for mushroom lasagna. We shared a very generous mixed salad. Coming upon this place in Champasak was a delightful surprise. The owner told me he is in his second season of operation. With luck he'll still be there when you arrive.
