Phonsavan attracts a more adventurous crowd so good chats can be had. Lots of hot water. Central location for ATMs, bakeries, coffee, Lao and western food, markets.

I wanted to visit the Plain of Jars in Laos, which led me to Phonsavan. Staying at The Hillside Residence was an absolute stroke of luck. I was contacted in advance regarding pickup, as I was arriving late by bus. They also brought me to the airport at the end of my stay. Every morning, breakfast was freshly prepared for me at the exact time I requested the day before. They even arranged my preferred tour directly from the hotel, providing lots of information as well as unexpected highlights I hadn’t known about. I was shown how jewelry and souvenirs are made from old war remnants — something I would never have discovered on my own. The hotel owners truly took care of everything. I have never felt so well looked after. The room was lovely, and I slept incredibly well. My stay in Phonsavan was perhaps the highlight of Laos for me, and the hotel owners played a huge part in that. I can give nothing but an unconditional recommendation. Thank you so much!

Loved the friendliness of all staff. They were helpful in booking tour to Plain of Jars and transportation to Vang Vieng. Mr. Souk is a true asset as his tour was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and his English is terrific!

I absolutely loved my stay here at NARIXAY hotel. The room was perfect , clean , big , great bed, great value for money etc.. I would also recommend Phet the host as a tour guide if you plan on visiting THE PLAIN OF JARS. I had a lovely day with him and his family visiting the various sites. He was very helpful booking onward travel arrangements also. I highly recommend staying here 10/10 for sure.
