Hotel 4-Star di Oudomxay, Laos

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 hotel appeared to be very quiet - not many other guests were there. The fridge didn’t work & I was unable to turn off the bathroom lights unless I switched off all the electricity. The toilet had dirt around the water level as though it had not been used for a long time. There was not much to do in the town On the plus side I found a great little restaurant just across the street

Great place, extremely relaxing in this month of April. Being outside the tourist season and in an extremely hot period we were able to take advantage of the swimming pool, great on the banks of the Mekong. It's actually not very far from the main street of Pakbeng. We were even able to see the elephants bathing opposite. If you stay long enough, go and spend some time at Mekong Elephant Park, it's a magnificent project.

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.
