We stayed here for a single night on 17th March, and have to agree with most of what's been said before. The condition of the rooms is pretty un-cared for, with gaps in the walls where the timbers have come apart. We had to order dinner when we arrived at 4pm so that the ingredients could be sourced from the... More

Great views and I thought the place was very quaint and I was happy to stay for a couple of days - if only because the alternatives are so limited. Having said that, comfortable beds, fabulous views and hot water (albeit slightly idiosyncratic and probably dangerous) made for a good stay for me.

If you are travelling to see the Plain of Jars take your sense of humour with you. The hotel selection is very limited, indeed this is not a popular tourist destination. Other reviews of the hotel tell the sad story of the conditions. We felt we were going to fall through the floor boards when we walked on them. We... More

The hotel was terrible! no wi-fi in the room, hot shower is controlled by LPG ( and you can see the tank outside) too far from the city centre. Lucky we only stay one night here otherwise I'll get crazy! Not very good value for money, you pay 69 USD in Luang Prabang or Vientiane and you get better hotel... More

A draught through every window. A creak from every door. Meagre food and badly cooked. "Do you mean you want some more?" Disintegrating staircase. Cold water faucet basin. Garbage on all the pathways. No tea or coffee making. Worse! No phone to call the boss, Who don't seem to give a toss. If you liked Boot Camp - you'll love... More

The best you can say about this spot is it is a place to sleep. We unfortunately spent two nights here. Irrespective of the hotel there is little reason to stay in Phonsavan after you have visited the Plain of Jars and a silk operation. The hotel may have been charming at one time but now it is just tired... More

This is the Auberge de Plaine des Jarres but by another name. So I am reviewing it too. There are three good things to say about this place, the willingness of the charming staff, the fireplaces and the view. Apart from the nice, reasonably priced carafe of wine unfortunately dinner was a deep disappointment. Husband’s filet steak was more of... More

In writing this review I must say I almost gave it a "Terrible" rating, as our experience was pretty bad. The service rating of "average" is given because the young male staff were very helpful and eager to please, otherwise the service rating would have been "poor", too, as the cabins were awful and not maintained to a reasonable standard....

Its hard to know how to rate this hotel as there is really no good lodging available in Phonsavan. It's said to be one of the best places in town, but if I were to rate it against hotels in Luang Prabang or Vientiane it would barely earn one star. Saying this place is rustic is being generous.
