Traveling to Laos? Find Champasak hotels

We were on our way on our motorcycle to the 4000 islands. Drove past a advertising board of The River Resort in Champasak and we thought we check it out. We booked the two day package as a consequence we didn't get to the Islands. From the lovely check in staff to the lady picking up the leaves, everyone treated us like royalty. The rooms are first class so is the gardens and the two stunning infinitely pools. We went on their sunset river cruise which included wine and canapés. Our hostess was very charming and watching the sun set over the mountain range was sensational. Breakfast was adequate though a lityle more Thai/Lao food would have made my wifes day. As we live in Thailand we are only 110 kms from The River Resort so we will be back before long for sure. Spoil yourself and stay there!!

This hotel was great. Super calm and very nice area to relax for a whole day if you want. - Strong wifi - Cold AC in rooms - Shower was nice and warm Overlooking the Mekong River, so peaceful and relaxing. A bit far from the town center but owner has bikes for rent which helps. The road in Champasak is paved and flat so very easy to bike around. Would definitely recommend staying here. We really enjoyed our stay.

great stay. amidst pure nature. it's like a serene hideaway that's nestled in the middle of green fresh rice field. everything is unpretentious. buffaloes are walking to work at dawn. no television and refrigerator so it's a disconnection from the world we are used to. nice stay but a bit too many insects and lizards, which really can't help. bring a good book with you. you will have plenty of time. very far from any attraction in champasak town. i think the hotel should arrange the transportation to get there from the main road. we were a bit lost and didn't know how to get there.

We love eco-friendly hotels! This place has a 3-stage water filtration system that filters ALL water to the faucet, showers, and toilets (you can drink out of them!). We love that they refill water for free (another hotel in Laos actually charged). So you can bring your own water bottles and refill instead of using multiple plastic bottles. Also, the waste water gets filtered and used for the plants and gardens. They also have a free shuttle service to and from the city center in Pakse! Just let them know what time you are going to arrive. The beds were very comfortable and we liked how they have them on the floor - Japanese style. We used to sleep like this back home before we quit our jobs and sold everything to travel. The hosts and staff are very friendly and the restaurant they have there is exceptional (try their Tamarind fish). We don't use motorbikes so they rented out their own car for us for a good price. They also clean the showers and toilets and rooms daily.

This hotel was our favourite by far after a two-week trip in Laos. Ronald the manager was incredibly helpful and professional and helped us on numerous occasions with tricky transportation problems. He runs this hotel de charme with such efficiency and positive, calm energy. The staff is so attentive and friendly. The design of the modern duplex rooms is stunning, the space and decor is elegant and colourful, marrying the old existing colonial building with modern design in an effortless manner. The delicious wood fired pizza with a nice (house wine ) French Cabernet Sauvignon was a real treat after 10 days of rice and noodles! The Laotian menu is delicious too. Gardens were gorgeous and you cannot beat watching the sunset and sunrise on their terrace overlooking the Mekong. A fabulous stay!

I spent two nights in the guesthouse, that is very conveniently located (2 mins from tourist office and atms) and is a sort of meeting point for travelers. The owner is extremely helpful, he arranges boats to islands, buses, changes money, shares information and most of all he keeps a warm smile even when very busy. All the family is welcoming. There is a very small market with cold drinks, and they offer also simple breakfasts and motorbike rental. I stay in two different rooms. The rooms on the first floor in the main building are spacious, but beds are rock-hard and you’ll hear the noises from ground floor and street. Also, the shared toilet are very basic and not that clean. there are better rooms for cheaper in other hotels. Instead, the rooms in the detached building are really good value, very clean, comfortable bed, hot shower, privacy. All in all I recommend this place for the welcoming attitude of the owners and to meet other travelers.

Host helped us with onward travel and a lovely trip to wat pu ;) his wife cooked lovely food, a huge menu with many thing not available, maybe a smaller menu to help staff as they didn’t speak much English but we did not find it a problem. The food we did have was lovely x Champasak is a sleepy town and the local spa was very good value for money. Comfortable spacious rooms Would stay again

champasak guesthouse is a nice place in the sleepy champasak town. the guesthouse is quiet like the rest of the lethargic town, but that's what people come here for, so don't expect a pulsating party. people come here to chill; gather ones thoughts, observe and watch the mekong flow by. my room is spacious and very clean, although the bed's a little harder than what i'd prefer, but it isn't bad at all - just a personal preference. the bathroom is also spacious, dry, nice glistening tiles; warm shower when you need one. the guesthouse has 8 rooms; i stayed in room 3 facing the mekong. no television, but then i didn't go there to watch tv. there's no front desk to speak of, but the affable owner is always available when you need information, a good conversation (speaks good english), or you want to hire a motorbike to visit tomo temple or wat phu champasak. he even offered me a bicycle - for free - just to roam the town. the same guy owns the beautiful, wind-swept chamapask restaurant just beside the guesthouse, fronting the roundabout fountain in the center of town. you can sit there for hours and watch the locals go about their daily lives. i loved staying here. ask the owner foryour transport needs or transfers (to pakse or the islands of siphandon).

Simply run down, very unclean/unhygienic rooms. Mosquitos and cockroaches in rooms a problem. Flip flops are a must for the bathroom and walls paper thin - to the point where the light from the adjoining bathroom will light up your bathroom in middle of night! Staff are super friendly and speak good English but I think this backpacker favourite has had its day - you can get much better in Laos/Champasak nowadays for similar price. A plus is the elevated riverfront restaurant alfresco, but it doesn't invite you to eat there. And the Inthara restaurant across the road is sublime, even if no river view (which is just blackness at night anyway).
