Sokthavy Inn, Laos

Sokthavy Inn, Laos

Situated along the Mekong Riverside, the Sokthavy Inn is a perfect option for those not wanting to spend a great deal of money on a hotel but still want some character to their stay. The hotel is incorporated into a traditional Lao wooden house and oozes Indo-china charm.

The owners have tried to create an elegant appeal to the building, with sparkling hardwood floors that glisten during the day and create a more romantic and nostalgic feel at night. The hotel looks and feels more pleasing to the eye at night, when the glare of the day has ceased and the lanterns and candles have been lit.

The hotel is situated not far from the Morning Market and the Night Bazaar in town, making it an ideal place to use as your point of base for this part of Laos.

Furthermore, the staff offers genuine and unparallel smiles to guests throughout their stay.

Rooms:

There are 12 rooms to choose from, all modelled on the traditions of old Laos. There are two types of rooms, standard and deluxe; the standard has nondescript but comfortable rooms buoyed by great views of the town plus air conditioning. Even the deluxe rooms are fairly simple but the owner’s keep them all fastidiously clean. Each rooms are equipped with cable TV and modern showers.

What appeals the most about the rooms, both standard and deluxe, is the fact that the owners have managed to create a more personal feel to them than most other hotels in the area.
