Villa Oudomlith

+good services, always provide us with juices. Good location, you are next to some famous eat around there - it’s old and sound proof is not that great.

Very friendly staff! By far, one of the best we met in Lao. However, the bathroom window didn’t close, making it cold at night. The hot shower was also tricky. There was another problem regarding booking a bus through the hotel. The bus to huay xai was advertised as a 12 hour ride, departing at 5pm. When we arrived at the station we met other groups, each thinking the bus was schedule to a different time. It departed at 18:30 and it took almost 15 hours. There was no problem on the road, just poor time estimation.

It’s great to see something, pop back to the guesthouse for a coffee and then out again an hour later to see something else and at this place you can do that. Room was clean and pleasant enough, but I didn’t have a view of anything so kept the shutters closed all the time which wasn’t idea. Still, if you’re here to see as much as possible and get your head down in the evening, then this might be for you.

The best part of our stay at this guest house was the young manager, Krung (not sure how to spell his name.). What a delightful and helpful gentleman. He went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. The location is great. The made to order breakfasts were good. When you would come back from a day of sightseeing they would bring you a fresh fruit drink. The rooms are big and relatively comfortable if not a bit dark as there are no Windows to the outside. If you are a light sleeper you may have a bit of trouble as it can be a bit noisy as the sound proofing is all but non existent. All in all we really enjoyed our stay here and recommend the manager, Krung, get a big raise.

Service was brilliant, couldn't fault their willingness to help. We received fresh fruit juice on arrival and each afternoon. The rooms were beautiful, all old dark wood, and it's a great location. Unfortunately, the layout of the guest house is a little odd. The only window looked out onto the corridor which meant we had no natural light. Also, there was no lobby or communal area, which meant other guests sometimes socialised in the corridors, making it quite noisy at times. The shower occasionally struggled to get hot, but the bathroom was clean.
