Residence Bassac

Had lunch here a few days in a row whilst in the area overlanding in our Land Rovers.. Lovely place, and the food was 10/10. Rooms looked nice, but i was in another place. But i would look at this for our next bigger overland trip next year. The girls were all helpful.

I had a wonderful stay with friends. The rooms are gorgeous, comfortable and quiet. It’s right by the Mekong and a terrific location if you’re going to see the temples at Wat Phou, or just want to relax for a a few days. Great food as well.

Address essential enough in the center of the village of Champassak (so-called historic part) to sleep in quite appreciable comfort. Beautiful room with bathroom and separate toilet, indoor sofa and terrace, ventilo, air conditioning, internet TV, wifi... nothing missing for an even prolonged stay. We were able to test the restaurant at lunch with a choice of 3 formulas: Western, American or local .. all being very well served in quality and quantity. On the food side, we only took a "pizza" break to break the routine of Laotian and Thai food. Correct, but nothing memorable in the choice of trim... The rest of the menu is a higher level in terms of price and out of step with the local atmosphere we will say... The small terrace by the water is nice to see the Mekong River flow. The property can provide tuk-tuk and driver to visit Vat Phu and/or other nearby sites. The union fare seems to be relatively flat at $25 a round trip... but taxis and others are rare in Champassak. You can nevertheless find a boat on request at the local tourist office, either to reach Paksé or for a walk on the Mekong... The "colonial" atmosphere of the place is pleasant. Payment CB
