Khamphouy Guest House

A cheap choice
80m south of the roundabout, on the western side
Champasak Province
Tel: (031) 252 700, (020) 583 1889

Description
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. Very friendly, and the rooms are spotless.

Great place to stay -
By shinealightnyc ( total comments: 3   )
It's not the Four Seasons but it's clean, cheap and well maintained. The owners are quite nice and there's a stocked honor bar inside the main house (beer lao!). You can't get much more central than this place. I picked the back corner room and it was nice and quiet. I ended up meeting plenty of people here.

Great bargain -
By GillianB ( total comments: 4   ) Stayed here 12/2007
We were given the choice of three bungalows set in a small garden, all at the bargain price of 20,000 kip per night. Our room was very clean and quiet, with a (cold water) bathroom attached, and came with a mosquite net and basic furniture. Little extras, like free Lao coffee, soap, towels, toilet roll and coat hangers (!) were unexpected at this price. The owner is very helpful and friendly, and has good bikes available for rent. There's also an indoor seating area and an informal book exchange available for guests' use.

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

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
