Description
If you want genuine colonial flavour, the Salachampa is your only choice in Pakse. While comfortable, it is overpriced when compared to other options in town -- you'll get cable TV, hot showers, and air-con for a few dollars less elswhere. On offer are rooms in the old building along with others in an annexe at the rear and to the side of the hotel. The former get very good reports, while the latter are spacious and have good hot water showers but come with noisy and uncontrollable air-con and no fan, meaning if you open your windows for fresh air, you'll get the TV blaring from the restaurant at all hours. We also suffered from threatening rodent noises in the roof, which knocked off a few points as well. The small restaurant on site does breakfast. A popular choice with tour groups.

we met the owner, speaks fluently french, was born in the house, it belongs to his family for several generations.
the first night we had the suite mentioned by Lother. the rooms are very big, with nice old furniture, something special!the only drawback with the downstairs rooms is the lack of privacy if you want to keep the window open. we got a slightly smaller room upstairs (there's 3), very stylish with old furniture, polished wooden floors and a nice and spotless bathroom, well worth it's price! (so we stayed more days just so we could enjoy this properly). the upstairs terrace is accessible to all the guests but we hardly saw anybody there.
Expensive, okay choice -

Arriving late in Pakse we wanted some place to stay for the first night quickly. The only room available was an enormous triple room for $20. It was nicely furnished and very clean, no complaints there. Not such great value for Laos though and nothing that special.
stayed one night & left -

we stayed here one night & then got out. We had a noisy room on the ground floor. The staff was not friendly at all. Breakfast was way overpriced. we found way better places to stay in Pakxe then this.
Nice looking -

Haven't actually satayed there coz the only available downstairs room at the villa had no windows (there was a window but covered from outside). Rooms at the villa are now $17, in the newer outside building $12

The centrally-located and sparkling Sang Aroun is a relative newcomer to Pakse, offering clean and very pleasant rooms, all with air-con, hot water, fridge, cable TV and some good views. The rooms are all a bit on the small side, and the prices have been creeping up in recent years, but it's still... more
Pakse Hotel
Road 5, Pakse
This is the largest centrally located hotel in Pakse. All rooms are spotless and have air-con, TV, minibar, hot water and sanitary devices -- though we couldn't work out what this meant -- perhaps they mean bathrooms. Their cheapest eco grade rooms have no windows and are overpriced. The standards... more
