If the building wasn’t painted fluorescent green, you’d mistake Khammouane Inter Guesthouse for a dated government department building — even the name sounds oddly authoritarian.

Rest assured, it is a guesthouse and this joint boasts gleeful amounts of unintentional retro charm, complete with Escher-esque floor tiles, padded leather sofas and a 70’s colour palette of pink salmon, teal and orange.

The small single rooms (sporting a single bed) are good value for a solo traveller on a shoestring budget in want of a private room with bathroom, and air-con is just 10,000 kip more. These rooms are small, a touch more cheerful than a monastic cell—the effort with a single tiny framed picture above the bed made us chuckle. The rooms with double bed are more spacious and come with hot water, air-con, minibar and cable TV.

It’s dated, decently clean and in front there’s a private shady garden full of tables and benches to relax on. WiFi is available in rooms on the ground floor and lobby. Best of all, it is walking distance to the night market, river and motorbike rental shop. Southida Guesthouse is more modern and comfortable, those really counting every dollar can save a few here.
