Oudomphone Guesthouse 2

Of all the listings for Huay Xia, I chose this place for two reasons - others' comments about the yummy pork sandwich and their ability to book slow boat tickets with guaranteed seating in front of the boat. They delivered again on both these recommendations in addition to having a wide variety of menu selections to pack for take away munching on the boat. The very large facility is interesting in design and architecture and the family who owns this are absolutely the nicest, sweetest people! I arrived with a nasty head cold and stayed an extra night to sleep, recover before the boat trip. For anyone with extra time, it's worth the short walk to the hilltop historic french fortress for excellent river views.

The rooms are everything other reviews mention, both the good and the bad. The pretentious will find plenty to complain about but otherwise this place serves as an excellent choice for starting the 2-Day Slow Boat journey down the Mekong River.

Wonderfully helpful staff and good location.

Good location and lovely staff

Close to city centre, big rooms. Guy from the night reception is unfriendly and pays more attention to his phone than customers, the lady in the morning is super sweet.

The whole thing hasn’t had much love in the past years. Everything looks a bit dirty, broken and faded.
