Description
If you're wearing a backpack and looking for a room, the tuk-tuk drivers will take you to the Thakaek Travel Lodge. If you've got a suitcase, they'll take you here. It's a bright-blue, four-story, arch-shaped building overlooking the Mekong river, and constitutes the best pick in town for comfort-travellers and those here on business. Elsewhere in southeast Asia this would be a two-star place -- the atmosphere isn't exactly scintillating, but the rooms are clean and well-supplied with furnishings and amenities. All the bathrooms have hot water, most have tubs, and all the rooms but the fan rooms provide cable TV. The doubles increase in price according to size and views of the river -- the only place in town that offers them. The top-of-the-line VIP rooms are huge, with two-bedrooms, two bathrooms, and somewhat cheesy decor. Still, an excellent deal for the money. There's a good restaurant on site that offers Lao, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine.

Just my style, nicely worn out but sparkling clean. Interestingly according to their own blurb there are 61 standard plus 2 VIP rooms available. The door pattern suggests a certain uniformity. Also, no rooms have Mekong views, but the balconies do! all necessary toilet equipment provided, including a comb and cotton buds. what more can you ask for?
