This little guesthouse is Ideally located, quiet for sleeping, yet close enough to walk to all the old town sights (less than 10 minutes to the night market) and the Old French Bridge too. Breakfast can be eaten from the balcony on the upper floor with a view of the Mekong. Breakfast is basic, eggs in a range of ways, and despite oranges being in season, the juice wasn't real juice.
The room isn't fancy but spacious enough and has all you need- good towels, small pkg of generic shampoo and soap. Water temperature varied. I stayed in 2 different rooms. A small downstairs windowless room, where the water was a bit too cool for my liking, and an upstairs room, with a, window, where the water was fine. Note: this is a guesthouse, not a hotel, so expect a toilet/shower combo.
Some might find the mattress hard, but if you are used to backpacker travel in Asia, it is a typical matress, and more comfortable than some I have had in China, for example. The wifi was strong and reliable.
Coffee (powered) coffee and tea available in the main reception area 24/7. I had hoped for some real Laotian coffee for breakfast. The food/drink options was why I rated the 'amenities' only a 3.
Service was friendly and helpful (I needed help cleaning a shirt stained with oily soup - they prevailed!). Note: for laundry you pay by the kg.
All in all, I would definitely stay here again. I felt safe, it was very clean, and you can't beat the location. Very good value for money.
