Hotel Dengan Bar di Champasak, Laos

Stayed here for two nights in February 2024. Pros: 1) The location is good. It is a short walking distance to the market and shopping area. 2) The view from the rooftop restaurant is the best in the city. 3) The lobby/common area is very spacious and tastefully done. 4) The front desk staff is efficient and spoke decent English. Check-in/check-out process was fast. 5) There is a dedicated travel desk and they helped book all our transportation needs. 6) The WIFI is free with good speed and connectivity. 7) The breakfast is served early and the spread is decent. 8) The room and bathroom were clean. 9) The tariff is cheap. Cons: 1) The food at the rooftop restaurant is terrible. We tried the bruschetta, the pizza, the pad-thai and all were remarkably insipid. 2) Our room was tiny and so was bathroom. There were not enough space to move around in our room.

This hotel is in need of a little TLC which is currently taking place but all the important stuff is there. Soft comfy bed, good aircon, good shower and plenty of hot water. Great views of the river and bridge. Great pool and breakfast in a lovely indoor restaurant. The evening restaurant has fantastic views over the river and a good selection of local and international dishes. The building itself and lobby is very impressive and is immediately visible when entering Pakse. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and attentive, particularly the girls on reception who were very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and it was our favourite hotel in Laos yet very competitively priced.

Joli Hôtel au charme désuet . Le hall d'entrée est chaleureux avec le bois. La chambre est fonctionnelle mais pas de décoration donc aucun charme. L'hôtel est bien placé, proche de toutes commodités.

Un hotel pequeño, muy pocas habitaciones. Un ambiente muy tranquilo donde relaj**** es obligatorio. Unas vistas al rio Mekong con unos amaneceres..... Desayuno correcto al estilo occidental y las habitaciones miran todas al rio. Muy bien. Cenar es una buena opcion con vistas al rio. Pueden organizarte excursiones por los alrededores y llevarte al aeropuerto.

We rented a floating room with a terrace on the Mekong, which could have been simply sumptuous. The problem is that the owner takes no care of his establishment and is content to maximise his current monopoly position on the island. Indeed, the hotel is the only establishment currently (July 2022) open for the whole of Khone Island and Det Island (the 2 islands communicate via the French Bridge) and also has the only restaurant open on both islands. The bathroom is not clean (like the rest of the hotel), one bed smells of urine and the springs of the other one are coming out, the arrival to the room by a small bridge is simply littered with plastic bottles that the owner does not even bother to fish out. The service in the restaurant is very slow (45 minutes waiting time for each of the 3 meals we had there per day as there is no other restaurant open on the two islands), the portions served are very small and some dishes are downright bad, the best ones not exceeding the ”ordinary” note. The restaurant is lit with white neon lights, the tablecloths are dirty, and the owner just shakes the dirt on the floor. For a so-called sunset inter-island tour (the pilot told us at 17.30 that the sun was hidden behind clouds, while sunset was at 18.30 and the inter-island ride was limited to a standard super slow crossing to the port from where we had left to reach the hotel on the day of our arrival) he charged us 360000 Laks, which is exorbitant. The bikes he rents have no brakes, no bell and have badly inflated tyres. I'll stop the list of my complaints here, but for every other service, we got a terrible price-quality ratio. We are all the more sorry to give this opinion as the place could be superb with a minimum of involvement from the owner, as well as respect for his customers.

Very convenient location( 2mins to the big market, clean and very comfortable bed. Wifi is ok. Staff vey nice. Price very reasonable. I have made a mistake in my reservation date that is non refundable, i called the hotel and the kindly accept to change my date. It was for 3 rooms. Thank you. Hotel needs is to be taken care a little bit. Parking spot is kind of limited. Recommend it!

Super clean rooms, very nice breakfast and superb food. But the host she is probably the most friendly and helpful woman in this world. Once arrived there I got infected with Dengue fever and ended up in the hospital for a week. She brought me food and drinks 3 times a day and helped me with translation and transport for my entire stay at the hospital, all free of charge. I can not thank her enough for what she did to me as she was the light in a very difficult period. I would highly recommend this place and whenever I am back in Pakse, there will be only 1 hotel I will stay in. Thank you so much for everything!!!!!!!

Un hotel pequeño, muy pocas habitaciones. Un ambiente muy tranquilo donde relaj**** es obligatorio. Unas vistas al rio Mekong con unos amaneceres..... Desayuno correcto al estilo occidental y las habitaciones miran todas al rio. Muy bien. Cenar es una buena opcion con vistas al rio. Pueden organizarte excursiones por los alrededores y llevarte al aeropuerto.

Nice place, great for relaxing. Nice sunrise. Room is nice. Just location is a bit far from other things and a bit run down. They offer bycicle free of charge. Complimentary breakfast and othe food very tasty.

We had a fabulous stay at Residence Bassac. We loved everything about this hotel. The rooms, gardens, dining and lounge areas were perfect. It is situated in a beautiful setting where you can gently watch the local life passing by. The service and staff were exceptional. Everything was done with a smile. My husband left a pair of trousers behind and they arranged for them to be sent onwards, by plane, to our next destination. Now that is first class service. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. You will not be disappointed.
