Description
A selection of stand-alone wooden/bamboo and adjoining concrete bungalows either air-con or fan-cooled are available at Anouxsa. All are in spotless nick and the concrete bungalows are particularly spacious with verandas, suitable for sprawling on during steamy afternoons overlooking the river. Friendly family owners make this easily Champasak's best choice. Well-shaded hammocks are strung by the river and bicycles are available for hire. All the rooms have private, hot-water baths. Located about 1km north of the traffic circle, it isn't too far from downtown.

nice location/ helpful staff -

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 -

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 !
Great Spot -

Stayed in a double air-con room US$15 per night. We caught the boat from Pakse to Champasak (50,000 kip p.p) which dropped us right at the Anouxsa. Staff very helpful and they also have pushbikes and 2 scooters for hire. Scooters were US$8 and US$10 respectively. There is now an internet cafe across the road heading away from town. Great spot to break the journey from Pakse to the 4000 islands.
Friendly, helpful, relaxing -

Hi, stayed with my partner and our six year old boy. After a day or two in Pakse it was lovely to arrive to this clean, chilled out place, nestled in the shade on the banks of the Mekong. Staff were really helpful, and did all they could to help. Stayed a couple of days after having planned to just pass through.
A haven -

Just in case you've missed my Travelfish comments, I'm an older person travelling In Loas. This guesthouse was lovely, food OK and peaceful. They will organise tuk tuk to junction for you and the beer is icy.

Souchitra Guest House
150m from the roundabout, Champasak
The Souchitra Guest House has a good mix of budget and upmarket accommodation. The rooms are clean and new -- it's a well serviced complex. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which is a good spot for breakfast as it sits right beside the river, though is not owned by the guesthouse.... more
Vong Pasued Guest House
Around 400m south of the roundabout
This very friendly, family-run spot has a bunch of cheap rooms in a longhouse. Rooms are very basic, though they all have private bathrooms -- the cheapest ones have squat toilets and no hot water. The food here gets very good reports. You can eat in the restaurant by the road, or behind the... more
Khamphouy Guest House
80m south of the roundabout, on the western side
This has excellent bamboo bungalows with concrete floors that would be close to the pick in town if they were on the riverbank. Set on the other side of the main road, there is little to observe from your room aside from the steady stream of ducks and geese that make up most of Champasak's traffic.... more
Dok Champa 1
South of the traffic circle, on the inland side, Champasak
The floors and walls of the sort-of-spacious rooms here are concrete, and there's not much furniture aside from the beds. Overall this place is rather grotty and basic, and the bathrooms are slightly scary, but still, we know some of you will head straight here when you see the... more
Saythong Guest House
65m south of the roundabout
This is a popular choice, in a good location, with a fine restaurant on site. Nevertheless, the room we saw was pretty shabby, albeit airy, with a sort of crappy bathroom. Some of the staff speak English well. Bicycles can be hired here and chartered boats to Pakse and Don Khong can also be... more
Khaemkhong Guest House
Ban Wat That, 3km from the roundabout, enroute to Wat Phu
On our last visit we found this place deteriorating badly, and the physical appearance of the place is still pretty shabby. The thatched bamboo bungalows are still there, with their sticky doors, cruddy bathrooms, and peeling fake linoleum floors. However, the management are making an effort:... more
Boulivan Guest House
2.5km south of the roundabout
Like it's neighbour the Khaemkhong down the road, this place doubles as a brothel. It's an absolute crap pile -- a shabby exterior, cramped rooms with squat toilets, and a staff that's out of a Lao version of the movie Deliverance. The only reason we can think of to head out here is if every single... more
Dok Champa 2
North of the traffic circle, riverside
Like it's sister establishment, the Dok Champa 1, this place has rooms with cement floors and dingy cold-water bathrooms. Crappy, but we would say acceptable, if you're an adaptable traveller looking to save money. Some of the rooms are triples for the same flat rate, so groups of three can make... more
