Hotel 4-Star di Oudomxay, Laos

It's supposedly the best hotel in Mengsai, but for Chinese tourists, it's only a three-star standard. The facilities are outdated, and the cleanliness is so-so; the chairs were black even after wiping them with a wet wipe. The shower temperature was also difficult to control, fluctuating wildly. It's barely a place to stay.

Luxury hotel in the Laotian wilderness. We arrived on a slow boat and spent New Year's Eve there. Unfortunately, no festive event was held at the hotel, which was a little disappointing, because there is absolutely nothing to do in the village. More about traveling around Laos in the MarsyTravel tg channel About the hotel itself: – it is located farthest from the pier, upon arrival you are greeted by an electric car, but then if you want to take a walk to the center of the village you will have to walk through the dark and hills for about 15 minutes - hotel on the mountain, there will be a little exercise to go to the pool or restaurant -breakfast is delicious and generous -wonderful bungalow with great view, but limited supply of hot water -the water in the unheated pool is quite cold

The service in the restaurant wasn't always great, lacking attention to detail. The location is truly superb, but it's a bit isolated, which means you're pretty much stuck with the hotel restaurant and its somewhat high prices (for Laos). However, the main takeaway is that it's a wonderful place. It's relaxing, well-maintained, and has plenty to do. The breakfast was excellent. The owner is very friendly, professional, and EXTREMELY helpful. Go there; you won't be disappointed. Our accommodation was superb, spacious, and ultra-clean.
