Things to do in Southern Laos
1. The River Resort
Overall Ratings
5 based on 655 reviews
The River Resort is located on 400 meters of naturally landscaped Mekong River frontage in the south of Laos, close to the renowned Wat Phou UNESCO World Heritage site. The Resort's architecture and decor are contemporary Southeast Asian. 22 of its 28 guest rooms have stunningly beautiful, panoramic views of the Mekong River; and the other 6 have fine views of beautiful evergreen rice paddy, flowering trees and tranquil ponds. Each guest room has an indoor and an outdoor shower and other high-standard amenities. The Resort’s open-air Dining Sala, overlooking the Mekong, includes a restaurant offering Western and Laotian/Thai cuisine, alfresco dining on its Riverfront lawns, a cocktail/juice bar, and a rooftop lounge for private meetings. Two infinity swimming pools and the Resort’s onsite Spa complement a relaxing stay. Its two private Riverboats offer casual journeys on the Mekong and sunset cocktail cruises, including - when the Mekong is at ebb - spectacular sunsets viewed from a soft sand beach on a remarkable uninhabited, sandstone island offshore the Resort. The River Resort is an ecologically and environmentally responsible hotel, committed to the use of replenishable bamboo for most of its furniture, organic and hydroponic "farm to table" gardens, recycling of inorganic waste, composting of other waste, as well as solar heated hot water for its kitchens; and is also committed to the improvement of the education of its local staff and the livelihood of its local community.
Beautifully designed and in a perfect setting
Reviewed By youers_ausThe resort is set on a beautifully and carefully crafted block of land next to the Mekong and only a few minutes drive away from Champasak town. The resort is tastefully decorated and designed with maximum privacy in the 2 story villa setting (2 rooms per villa with separate entrances). The rooms are spacious and generates a feeling of calm and serenity. We stayed in the river facing rooms on a recent promotion which was had a 50% discount from standard room rates. Well worth the money and the view of the sunrise overlooking the Mekong from the comfort of our bed is remarkable and mesmerizing with full floor to ceiling windows. The vast amount of trees provide shade in the heat of Southern Laos and the cooling natural breeze that flows through the Mekong provides a surreal experience. This is definitely the place to relax and get away from it all. The only downfall is the water pressure - hardly any which made it difficult to shower and impossible to try out the outdoor shower. The rooms are very clean however, given the setting, there are of course lots of bugs around which didn't bother me at all. The breakfast was very solid from a more western focused a la carte menu. We didn't eat otherwise at the hotel. There are also two pools to choose from and lots of space for the kiddies to run around. At only 30 min drive away from Pakse city, I would definitely recommend this place as an alternative away from the hustle and bustle.
2. Residence Sisouk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 341 reviews
Residence Sisouk Hotel The Residence Sisouk Hotel welcomes you all year round with our warm and charming atmosphere.

Right next to the hotel’s lobby is the famous Sinouk Cafe where you can taste coffee grown nearby in the lush Bolaven Plateau.
Excellent stay
Reviewed By ArnoRnoFor your next trip to Pakse, Residence Sisouk is such a great place! Beautiful old building, nice and welcoming staff, rooms are having an excellent standard and the best is the breakfast in this wonderful space on the 5th floor! Home made cakes, fresh and crispy bread, home made strawberry jam from local farmers, eggs, bacon, fresh orange juice, very good coffee! Perfect to face the day! I definitely recommend this place and I hope to come back soon again!
3. Pakse Hotel & Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4 based on 760 reviews
Pakse Hotel & Restaurant is ideally located in the historical heart of the city. Pakse is your gateway to southern Laos. French colonial buildings, evening- and day markets, shops and services (banks, airlines, money exchange, ...), as well as Mekong and Sedon rivers are just around the corner from us. Built in the early 60's by the last Prince of Champassak, Chao Boun Oum, completely renovated in 2003 it now reaches International standards whilst the traditional colonial influence/feel is preserved. The panoramic restaurant atop the hotel has become meeting hub of the city, serving traditional Lao, Western and fusion food, complimented by great wines, cold beers and fancy cocktails. The restaurant is set in a wonderful open-air green environment, away from mosquitoes, air-conditioners and traffic annoyances. The view of the city and the Mekong from here is all but stunning.
Finest Hotel In Pakse
Reviewed By yssamteIf only I can give 10 stars for this hotel I would!!! The place is far from the highway there you can really have a good night sleep! When you wake up the freshly cooked breakfast is already for you on the 1st floor of the hotel, do not miss out the Pho! They have the best Pho in Pakse! The housekeepers are very kind and cleaned the room everyday! Had the best burger in Le Panorama Restaurant in the rooftop that will give you a 360 degree view of the city! I would like to commend Ms. Nang of the Front desk, (I am not sure with the spelling of her name tho) She is always available for our questions and she helped us a lot! The company must be very lucky to have you! We will be back soon! Much love, Daiki and Kissa

Good location, comply beds, nice restaurant
Reviewed By 425bethwWe stayed here twice, the night before we started the Bolaven Plateau motorbike loop and the night after we finished. Good location to the bus station and right next to Miss Noy's motorbike hire place (which we highly recommend). Beds were really quite comfortable for Asia. Shower good and warm. TV didnt work but I doubt there would have been a channel we would understand. Make sure you get a room near the back of the hotel though as the road is really noisy! (I'm partially deaf and wore earplugs and it still had me awake most the night on our first stay!) Also a 6am check in which we loved after we got off our sleeper bus at 6am!!
7. Tadlo Lodge
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 181 reviews
cabin in the woods
Reviewed By Dino WAs the sun went down we had to look for a hotel. The Tadlo Lodge looked nice from the street so we went there. Unfortunately the good impression soon faded away: Besides the manager nobody of the staff speaks any English. After a long wait the manager confirmed that they had vacancies (although from the approx. 10 cabins, only 3 were occupied) and one of the mopish employees showed us the cabin which stands in a small forest. The dinner in the hotel's restaurant was okay. On the next day we spotted two very sad-looking elephants chained to trees in the hotel's park. If we knew that they promote elephant riding we would have avoided this place.
8. Xuanmai Garden Resort

Reviewed By Mark0545This is a lovely boutique hotel set in a beautiful garden with a great eating/common area overlooking the garden. It almost felt like you were eating in a tree house.

Good Property on the banks of the Mekong.
Reviewed By Steve BTogether with 25 other Anglo-Thai Society members, my wife and myself spent last night at the Sala Done Khone Hotel. We were allocated one of the Garden Villa-style rooms which was spacious with a large bed and nice shutters fitted with mesh - important as there are a few mosquitos around (pleased to see that a coil was lit up on our balcony. The bathroom was fine as was the shower for which there was no shortage of hot water. On the F & B front, both Breakfast (which the Manager kindly agreed for us to have at 0630 hours rather than wait until the usual 0700 hours start) and the Group Dinner were at the a Restaurant overlooking the Mekong River. The quality of food and service for both meals was very good. All in all - and despite the early morning call from the resident cockerel - we much enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend the property to others.
