Hi,

I am in Lao now checking on multi entry visas and other bits for this Country, it is a great place to be and to hang out in my opinion.

Anyone wants anything doing or checking, send a message!

Also, The AV Hotel is great. Centrally located for everything. Huge room, great wi fi signal, LCD TV, big comfortable bed, new linen, recently refurbished.

No lift or swimming pool being the drawbacks against Chanthapanya Hotel. I much prefer the rooms here though. Staff cuter at Chanthapanya as well but you can't have everything. This is for $35 per night including breakfast which I can't comment on as I have never made it yet.

I would definitely say if anyone is in town on budget or longer stay, this place is adequate.

If you want to pamper yourself in a smaller hotel but classy at around $80 a night, it's got to be Salana Hotel.
