Residence Bassac

Good service and staff friendly.

This is a lovely peaceful place to stay with magnificent sunrises available from several bedrooms and at the lounges by the river. The staff were ever helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Residence Bassac. I do however recommend that if you partake in the alms giving ceremony to the Buddhist monks, that you find out the cost beforehand. I found it unreasonably high and would have rather given the money straight to the monks. Otherwise thank you Residence Bassac for a gracious, delightful and memorable stay.

It's a beautiful hotel with fantastic staff. Our room was very comfortable with all possible amenities. They have good bicycles you can borrow, so you can easily cycle to Wat Phou. There are several restaurants near the hotel as well as their own restaurant. The only minor remarks we have was that our garden room was outside the wifi range. And we would have preferred to pick and choose breakfast options rather then have a set menu.

I loved this hotel in Champasak. It was so tranquil and friendly. Loved going to the back garden and sitting on the Mekong river to read. The staff were friendly and so helpful. The food was amazing, with a good mix of western and local food. I would definately recommend this little gem of a hotel for pure relaxation and enjoying your time in Laos. Visiting Wat Phou early in the morning was a must, and I would have liked to visit Si Phan Don, but that was expensive as I was by myself so I will plan that for next time as its another 2-2.5 hours away. They have a good mix of bedroom styles, and I had a suite which had a very comfy bed and a seperate lounge area so I could watch the goings on along the street. The prices for everything were in USD, which is fine but things are more expensive overall here compared to other parts of Laos I have visited. This I can understand as everything has to be brought into the region. I would recommend that the hotel considers putting in a swimming pool in their back garden, as this would be a fantastic bonus based on the heat/weather. After exploring its so nice to have a cooling dip, or a lovely area to chill with a good book. Thank you to the wonderful team for such a beautiful stay and experience in Champasak!
