The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was basic but spotless. My upgraded room had unlimited hot water but a smaller water heater in the basic room was useless. The beds were on the hard side, pillows too large for my liking and I had to ask for TP every second day for 7 days. Finally, the property’s numerous dogs and at least one rooster provided a reliable alarm clock from around 2 am to sunrise.

Sipanya Guesthouse was a real find- the property was spotlessly clean, the room was comfortable and breakfast in the hotel was excellent. Our host Abe was absolutely wonderful. He picked us up at the bus station and made us feel very welcome. We also booked a full day tour of the Plain of Jars and other nearby sights with Abe - it was a great experience. He was knowledgeable, and gave a very full informative tour in English.

Basic, clean and comfortable

I booked this because of the “fabulous” comments. Is it fabulous? If you are not backpacking I guess it depends on what you normally stay at. This guest house is spotlessly clean and the bed is comfortable but the facilities are basic. It is near the market and the owner gives you a list of restaurants (we tried two and they were very good). He can also arrange a minivan to the plain of jars which includes lunch (again basic). Most people seem to stay only one or two nights passing through. The coach station is nearby, you can walk to it. For the price it is good and we would probably stay again.

The guesthouse is on the edge of the town, so quiet but a nice walk into tge main street. The local wet market is really close - its a walled market with two gates, so is actuslly a short-cut between the guesthouse and the town. Take a torch with you in the evening. Breakfast can be had at the market (noodles) or wander to Cranky Tea for a European breakfast.

Clean, simple, quiet guesthouse in a convenient location. The owner of this new property was very helpful. The beds are extremely firm and the showers use wall mounted electric water heaters so the flow of warm water is modest. Overall, for the price, we were quite satisfied.

A very pleasant stay

We have stayed at Sipanya Guesthouse for three nights. We were picked up at the airport and driven directly to the guest house by the very friendly owner Abey. During our stay he organized and drove us for two full day tours in and around Phonsavan. He really gave us a deep insight into Lao Living and Culture. We got to see all the highlights of the region. In addition, we had homemade Lao breakfast every morning One evening, when we had finished dinner in town, the guest house picked us up as the rain poured down. All in all a pleasant stay
