The staff are very helpful, and the rooms were spacious and clean but a bit worn. We had booked a double room aand were given two singles, which we have noticed is the trend in Laos, we were only staying one night so didnt mind, as we had checked in early.
The pool is fantastic, along with the bar area. We had an early morning train and left before breakfast was served, so unable to comment on that. Plenty of restaurants around the hotel and a night market. The location is very central.
