GUESTHOUSE $
Phonetip Guesthouse
( 084-211084; Th Saykhong; r 50,000-120,000K; ) Simple, central and clean by budget
standards. The cheapest options are just beds in boxes but there's a pleasant road-facing
communal area upstairs, if you can grab a seat.
Phonevichith Guesthouse & Restaurant
( 084-211765; houayxairiverside.com ; Ban Khonekeo; r 600-1000B; ) Colourful fabrics, fans
and kitschy lamps add a little character to the smart rooms, which come with piping-hot
showers and air-con. A new wing offers the smartest beds in town, which are verging on
'boutique' standards. The main attraction is the Mekong perch and handy proximity to the
slowboat landing.
GUESTHOUSE $$
Riverside Houayxay Hotel
( 084-211064; riverside_houayxay_laos@hotmail.com ; deluxe/riverview r 600/900B) Located just
off the main strip and overlooking the mighty Mekong, this is the most upmarket hotel in
the centre of town. Rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. Hot water is on tap, plus
there is satellite TV and a minibar.

Eating & Drinking

from.
BAP Guesthouse
(Th Saykhong; mains 15,000-35,000K; ) Run by English-speaking Mrs Changpeng, this way-
farer's fave has an inviting restaurant dishing up snacks, vegetarian dishes and Lao
staples. It's one of the closest spots to Lao immigration so it's good for some arrival or de-
parture fodder.
