    “Disorganised ”

    Basic room but not very clean. Owner had ‘forgotten’ our booking on arrival. Luckily we had a Lao guide with us who could translate the conversation. The next day, our guide translated that the owner wanted us to pay again as he no longer dealt with Agoda. Thus followed calls and emails to Agoda who did sort it but it ruined the time in Phonsavan. No apology or acknowledgement of mix up on check out. To be honest, glad to leave.

    “Cheap, perfect location. That's about it”

    Pro: location, cheap (9 euro), free water refills Cons: not friendly staff, no wifi in the room, very uncomfortable bed, not dirty but not clean either, holes in the duvet, tour guide changed price after we booked. Overall it's not a place you really want to stay, but i think it's hard to find better in Phonsavan

    “Excellent value for money”

    I have stayed at this hotel several times and this time was able to spend a full month and get to experience the Hmong New Year festivities. The hotel complimented my experience - its central location, walking distance to market, restaurants, short ride to airport and generally a clean and inviting space. Some of the reviews here don't seem to see the positive. Laos in winter is kind of cold, yes, but the comforters provided are large and fluffy and suitable. The bathroom water was hot (if you didn't want the ultimate pressure) - the room was cleaned every day by friendly staff, even after I would track in the dust of the day just after they had mopped the hallways. Everyone smiled and the owner certainly speaks fluent English and will accommodate in any way possible. I consider this hotel a "find" and will stay there again this season on my travels in Laos.

    “Excellent”

    Basic accomodation very reasonably priced. I happen to love the firm mattresses so prevalent in SE Asia, so no problem there; a typical American might find them hard. This is my second stay at Namchai, and I'd book again. The WiFi can be iffy. I tethered my laptop to a Lao Telecom phone when that was an issue, which was no often this time. AC works; bathroom is typical for the area (spoiled Americans hate it), worked fine and was clean.

    “Average hotel”

    Phonsavanh is not a place to stay eternally so for 1/2 nights the accomodation does not have to be special. And this is what Namchai GH serves. We had a nice and clean room with a good bathroom and bed. The WiFi does not work in the rooms so you have to go to the ground floor for going online. The owner offers a pick-up service which is nice and offers to boom some tours. Staff helps if help is needed and you can fill up your water bottles or drink coffee all day. Recommended for a short stay on the small town!
