Hotel Dengan Pools di Oudomxay, Laos

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.

Great location. Great view from the balcony of the room and from beside the pool.  Everything very clean and room was stylish.  Staff attentive and spoke good English.  Ate at the bistro which was not too expensive.  Decor in the bistro was not very inviting.

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.
