Tranquilidad
Pros:

La habitaciĂłn muy amplia y cĂłmoda. La ubicaciĂłn frente al rĂ­o Mekong, excelente, cerca del centro y muy tranquilo. La atenciĂłn del personal muy buena.

Cons:

El desayuno, se sirve en un restaurant frente al río, pero que no forma parte del hotel. Es bastante básico, eso podría mejorar.

Eine tolle Unterkunft
Pros:

Der Service an der Rezeption war herausragend. Auch die Lage ist einfach ideal. GegenĂĽber auch noch ein tolles Restaurant. Die Zimmer sind groĂź und sauber

Cons:

Im Bad waren Fliesen lose oder weg. Der Eindruck der Fotos war etwas anders als die Realität. Ich hatte erwartet, in der Villa zu sein.

Memnun kalacağınız bir tercih olur. Temiz ve merkezi
Pros:

Çok merkezi bir yer sahilin hemen yanında ve buradan sunset cruise turlarını ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. Gördüğüm en temiz küvete sahiplerdi. Resepsiyondaki personeller çok yardımcı.

Cons:

Kiraladığımız motorun içerisinde benzin yoktu. Nasıl bulduysanız öyle teslim etmenizi öneririm çünkü yarım depo benzinle bırakmamıza rağmen bize bir ücret ödemesi/ indirim yapılmadı.

Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Hinterhaus. Frühstück gibt es in einem Restaurant etwas die Strasse runter auf einer Terrasse direkt über dem Mekongufer - traumhaft.

Very basic but nice location.
Pros:

The location was nice right on the river.

Cons:

The breakfast was outsourced to a nearby cafe/restaurant which was only average - very limited choices. The cleaning staff did not make the bed or change the sheets at all and we were there 4 nights. We had to ask for more toilet paper.

Cons:

Baustellen auf beiden Seiten des Hauses, dadurch ist der Balkon de facto nucht nutzbar gewesen. Die Unterkunft ist extrem hellhörig, ohne Ohrstöpsel geht nichts. Das Frühstück wird in einem Restaurant 5 min entfernt angeboten und ist sehr einfach gehalten.
FĂĽr dad Gebotene ist fie Unterkunft viel zu teuer.

Tágas szoba, jó helyen
Pros:

Szuper helyen van, közel a Mekonghoz, bár a mi szobánkat tartalmazó épület nem a recepcióval egy épületben (amely épület nagyon hangulatos), hanem egy házsorral beljebb volt és a bekötőutca másik oldalán. A szoba nagyon tágas, rengeteg ablaka van (nincs folyóra nyíló kilátása) és kényelmes, hatalmas ágy van benne. A fürdőszobában kád, ami nagyon ritka Laoszban. Buszjegyet foglaltak nekünk rendes áron másnap reggelre. A svédasztalos reggeli pár percre, egy Mekong-parti, kilátással rendelkező étteremben van, bár sétálni kellett odáig, nagyon élveztük a helyet.

Cons:

Nem tájékoztattak minket arról, hogy máshol van a reggeli, így a recepciónál vártunk sokáig, ott pedig nem volt senki reggel.

Large room with a convenient location
Pros:

Convenient location, very helpful staff, large family room. Good for a quick two night stay.

Cons:

A basic room considering the price (similar to the one stars we stayed at in other cities in Laos for significantly cheaper). I liked sitting on the balcony but just know there is a road right below you and trees obstruct some of the river view. And you get the noise and music from the river boats. Poor breakfast.
