Residence Sisouk — Hotel in Champasak Province

Old hotel in a central location. Large room, terrible shower, malfunctioning a/c||After checking in you need to take the elevator. The elevator has grilled doors on both sides, and only one person with their luggage can fit at a time. I did not know how to operate this elevator, or wanted to use such an old elevator, so reluctantly chose to use the stairs.||Room is large and dated. Hard uncomfortable mattress. Shower is tiny and badly designed. The shower head was placed too high so that when you turn on the water the shower head spreads water all over the bathroom and not on the person taking the shower. I had to use my towels to dry the puddles of water on the floor.||The worse part was the air conditioning. The air conditioning was working but not cooling the room. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating and could not go back to sleep.||Breakfast staff does not speak English. They served me an egg, baguette, jam, water, cut up banana and papaya, juice, and coffee, no espresso drinks.||I don’t know if there are better options in Pakse, but I would not want to...

My only complaint was that the shower was only luke warm. The internet has several different WiFi signals which seem to vary in strength during my stay but I usually found one which worked and was able to make phone calls home.| Food is a bit limited and for Laos is expensive, however opposite is the Parisuen cafe which had a more extensive menu and is cheaper.| The staff were friendly and helpful and nearby there are a few small food shops and o couple of ATMs.| All in all I would...

This is a four storey colonial building with an antique lift that can only fit one person & a suitcase at a time for the very slow ride to the required floor. But it’s part of the old world appeal of this hotel.||The rooms are massive in size with a big four poster double bed, a lounge, TV with a good selection of channels, airconditioning, wifi & a balcony overlooking the river & the town. The bathroom is also a good size with a walk in shower.||Breakfast is included served on the fifth floor with great views. Breakfast is not a buffet but individually served & includes hot & cold western dishes. ||The town of Pakse is nothing to get excited about. It was my first night before going on a Mekong River cruise. It’s certainly a comfortable...
