For the majority of visitors, Pakse international Airport (PKZ) is the primary and most convenient entry point. Located directly within the city of Pakse, it provides the fastest and most budget-friendly access to the city center. While it serves both domestic and limited international routes, it is the only airport situated in the city itself. Travelers arriving at Ubon Ratchathani International Airport (UBP) will find themselves in the neighboring city of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. This airport is a major regional hub and often serves as a practical alternative for international travelers who prefer flying into Thailand and taking a cross-border bus or taxi. Finally, Savannakhet Airport (ZVK) is located in the nearby city of Savannakhet, Laos, and is typically only considered by travelers already exploring other parts of Southern Laos. Choosing between these options depends largely on your starting point and comfort preferences; for efficiency, PKZ remains the superior choice, whereas UBP offers better international flight connectivity at the cost of a longer, multi-hour overland transfer.

Très bel hôtel / les images ne mentent pas !
Piscine très agréable et bien entretenue/ qualité des transat +++
Chambre standard spacieuse/ confortable/
Nous avons pris nos repas sur place : plutôt correct et du choix
Petit bémol : pdj à la carte / pas de buffet/ 1 article par personne : donc si vous prenez un bol de céréales
vous ne pouvez pas ajouter autre chose ( le bol est très petit !)
Assez bon rapport qualité/prix au final
Petit bémol : une lampe de chevet imposante pour les lits jumeaux/ j’aurais aimé un petit éclairage individuel pour lire

Pakse City Center Pakse|0.74km from city center
This was the only hotel I ever stayed at in Pakse, so don't have a way to compare it to other places, but it was priced as high or higher than most other places in town. Setup was a little strange, felt like someone's home that got converted to a hotel. Also felt like it wasn't originally designed as a 5 story building but rather that floors were subsequently added. Staff speaks little to no English with the exception of one older lady that seemed to be translating for everyone. The breakfast room at the top floor was nicely setup with beautiful river view. Breakfast was basic but nice. My room was a little dated and very basic. It had everything I needed, just everything felt super old. Curtains couldn't be properly closed all the way and the room could not be kept dark in the mornings. I also had a problem with ants in the bathroom, in my toothpaste, my shaving cream and on the towels. Overall not a bad place to stay, but when I return to Pakse I will probably try some other hotels before returning to this property. FromUS$38

The bed was standard soft, but the room was HUGE with lots of usable space.
**Location:**
Excellent! Right on the Sedone River, and not far from the market or restaurant area in Pakse. Very convenient for getting around.
**Breakfast:**
Not a lavish, five-star spread. Mostly simple options like fried eggs, toast (the Lao khao jee was delicious!), coffee, and fruit. The taste was average, enough to fill you up.FromUS$32

In the same size city as the small town of Base, this Sengoalang is already the top of the local area. Although I can't complain about 😂😂😂, according to the national conditions of Laos, third world countries, we can't have requirements, hahahahaha...because there are requirements and it doesn't help...People are on that condition. ...One person at the front desk can speak English, and the others speak Thai (~ can translate software to wait, signal 2-3G... Hahaha... often disconnected the network... Don't say it... Hahaha... Make up for it yourself 😅)...FromUS$35

This hotel has an excellent location, with plenty of ATMs and restaurants nearby. The staff provided great service and care, and the room looked clean and tidy upon entry. However, I have to deduct stars because I encountered many inconveniences during my stay:
1. The TV didn't work at all. I couldn't watch any channels. Even after calling reception for help, it still didn't work.
2. The TV remote control had no batteries.
3. The air conditioner was leaking so much that even the staff member who came to fix the TV noticed it.
4. The refrigerator was not working. I tried plugging it into every outlet, but it still didn't turn on.
5. There was no chair in the room as shown in the pictures. When I brought food in, I had to sit at the bedside table to eat.
6. In the bathroom, the water didn't drain at all when showering. The water level rose all the way to the toilet.
7. The room was not soundproof at all. I could hear every conversation from people walking outside the room. Plus, someone knocked on the neighboring room's door in the morning, startling me awake because I thought it was our room, but it wasn't. Also, the noise from the air conditioning or what sounded like construction in the back was very loud.
I hope this feedback is constructive for future guests and the hotel. I really liked the staff; they were very helpful and spoke Thai very well.FromUS$16
