Ban Anou Night Market

The hotel was in a good location, close to the night market and lots of temples. When I checked in I was given my key, but wasn’t told about when breakfast was served or where. I found a cricket in my room after 30 minutes of it chirping and woke up to my power not working in my room. The guy at reception when I checked out was very friendly and helpful though.

Me and my partners spent 4 nights here and we love it. The room is clean and good service and love the free breakfast. The only thing I not really happy is the laundry is a little too expensive.

Right in the middle of the riverfront, this French colonial–style gem is one of my favorite hotels anywhere. The courtyard and pool are stunning, and most rooms come with big balconies overlooking the peaceful setting. Evenings are a treat too—their drink menu is surprisingly sophisticated for Laos and makes winding down after a day of exploring even better.
