Pakse Hotel
Great views
What we say: 
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 and superiors are far better value, with some on the top floor boasting fine views over the surrounds. If you're after a room with a view, be sure to say so. Staff are friendly and professional, making this a fine mid-range option. Deluxe rooms -- the fourth grade on offer -- have bath tubs.

ok
we stayed here for one night because we arrived very late and didn´t bother to look around for a cheap and nice guesthouse. we had a room without a window and even though it was furnished quite nice we found it to be far too expensive. nice breakfast though.

Colonial vibe
Nice hotel with bell boy, lift, air con room. $28 dollar room had a view of a very large tin roof and other buildings, which although isn't postcard stuff is very interesting. Decent size room, bath is great but Asian length! Staff mostly friendly and helped out with checking our bus pick up was going to arrive. The rooftop bar and restaurant is lovely to watch the sun go down, a bit pricey though for every night. Location is excellent in the centre of Pakse next to the market. The rooms are pricey at $28 however the cost does reflect the facilities and standard.

Outstanding in Every Way
We stayed here on 3 different nights in the course of bouncing around southern Laos. This is a totally excellent hotel. We stayed in the standard double rooms (now priced at $23). Very attractive room with good quality wood furniture, fridge (with drinks), efficient a/c, 41 cable channels (mostly Thai). The bed isn't exactly spacious for two people, but will do. Our 4th floor rooms had good views over the town. The included breakfast was generous; the buffet included, fruit, muesli, pastries,sausage, ham, and sauteed potatoes. Eggs are cooked to your order. The staff were uniformly sweet and efficient.

Outstanding Hotel
I stayed at Pakse Hotel with my boyfriend in October 09 and LOVED IT! I can't say enough about the excellent service and friendliness of the staff! They were more than accommodating. We ordered room service a few times and our tea was brought up promptly, always with a smile. We stayed in a room with a window, though I can't remember whether it was a standard or deluxe room. The room was absolutely spotless and cleaned every morning. The rooms were tastefully done, a little smaller than some we'd stayed in, but certainly large enough. We spent three months in Southeast Asia and traveled throughout Bali, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and I can easily say that this was one of my favourite hotels we stayed in. Highly recommended.

clean, well-kept rooms, good service
This past Nov, we stayed a couple of nights in a very nice standard room (rates now $23, still not a bad value for the quality and standard of service), would have preferred deluxe but they were all booked out. Nice big bathroom. Very busy with mostly European tour groups, we could not get a room when we returned after a few days in Champasak. Also disappointed that the rooftop bar/restaurant was closed during our stay due to high winds, we did go up to check out the splendid panoramic views, a shame as it seemed like the perfect spot for a relaxing sundowner. very friendly staff, good breakfast buffet in the conference room (made to order johk moo with hot Chinese doughnuts was excellent), but we never ate at Le Petit Pakse restaurant in front as it was a bit out of our budget and did not seem like it would have been worthy of the relatively steep prices. Free internet.

Excellent choice
Stayed at the Pakse Hotel for several days -- six, if I remember correctly -- off and on during May-June 2008. It was a very good choice. We enjoyed the views of town from our room as well as the 360 degree evening views on the rooftop restaurant. The food and the service at the restaurant were very good. The hotel's staff and management are extraordinarily helpful and resourceful. The hotel can offer private tours and other arrangements with adequate notice, and the hotel website offers an information email address with which to make reservations and inquire about other arrangements. They accept VISA here! Rooms are spacious and well-cared for. And come in several grades of amenity, view and price. The place seems to be a common destination for academics, ngo groups, as well as in-the-know flashpackers. That is to say that the other guests are knowledgeable, well-travelled and pleasant. The hotel is near a night market, which bubbles (quietly) until late. Lots of interesting people and things. A short walk to the Lankham Hotel finds you at the main motorcycle rental place in town. The Lankham area seems to be the main vortex of traveller/backpacker activity, with several restaurants (including two Indian restaurants) in the immediate vicinity. By contrast, the street in front of the Pakse Hotel is quieter and more sedate, with a friendly and well-priced Lao massage studio and small restaurant across the street and a couple of sports-equipment shops just down the street. The river is about 3-4 blocks away, while the Mekong a little farther. The river fronts are pretty peaceful, except the area near the confluence with the Mekong which occasionally had some raucus and noisy [for Laos] bar and restaurant nightlife on a street that parallels the river. Pakse has received some serious new street-paving, sidewalk installations, and drainage infrastructure in recent years and has a little bit of a 'new' feel to it. It's possible to perambulate comfortably and without restriction. We very much enjoyed our stay and to making the Pakse Hotel the fulcrum of future Southern Lao travels.

Very nice
Stayed here 2 nights. The atmosphere is very nice, rooms very clean, and the staff polite and efficient. Good travel agency in the hotel that can arrange local tours. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I was paying for hot water, and none appeared!

Comfortable & Friendly
Stayed at the Pakse Hotel about six nights total in May and June 2008. The manangment and the staff of highly resourceful and gracious people. They can arrange or direct one to local tours and advise on forward travel. A lot of interesting people stay at this hotel... from ngo-types, to academics, to very seasoned travellers. Lobby wi-fi is heavily used. Good breakfasts included. Great restaurant on the roof... wonderful food. The Pakse has a range of rooms from the Economy rooms to the larger rooms with panaramic views. All clean and well-appointed. When in Pakse, I will stay at the Pakse Hotel again. On a index of comfort, friendliness, and convenience, I rate this hotel right at the top.

Mid range choice
We stayed here twice. The first time was because our bus broke down and we didn't arrive in Pakse until 11:30pm and we were too tired to wander the streets trying to find a backpackers that would have a room. The first time we stayed in one of the cheapest rooms, $18, which didn't have a view but was big and clean with a hot shower, AC, cable TV, and a fridge - just what you need when you're hot and tired and want a beer in bed in front of a Premier League match. We styed here again when we came back through Pakse and they only had the $20 rooms available - the only difference in the rooms was that the $20 room was on the third floor - but still no view. We didn't think much of the breakfast but then we only turned up about 10 mins before it finished so maybe everything nice had gone or gone cold. The staff were helpful, the location was good. All in all very like a cheap western business hotel. There is a nice bar/ restaurant on the roof but I found the waiters over attentive.

Would stay again
Pakse Hotel was fine. Well located. Room wasn´t too bad and the view from the top was impressive. I´d probably stay in Champasak next time though.

Everything was clean and worked. Room a bit small. Rooftop restaurant provides extensive view of Pakse. Would stay again.

A great place
We stayed twice at the pakse hotel. Its a great place to stay. Full of charm and the manager and staff were excellent. Very good value for money, and the roof top restaurant must not be missed.

clean and friendly
Very comfortable & clean room. Wonderfull views from the roof. Staff was very friendly and helpfull...best in our entire month in the Laos. Price was a little steep by Lao standards, but worth it for a ''treat''.

Bon accueil, agréable, bien placé et confortable.
Les chambres supérior ou deluxe ont une vue dégagée sur la ville. Situation centrale. Staff agréable. La seule critique serait l' impossibilté d' obtenir à la réception des informations cohérantes sur les trajets en bus au départ de Paksé vers les iles du sud ou vers le nord.
