After looking around a few other guesthouses/hotels which were either booked out or not so nice we found Royal Pakse Hotel and decided for the price it would be sufficient. We stayed for one night, checked out to do a tour, and then returned for another night at the end of our stay in Pakse. Friendly staff at front desk, they helped arrange our onward bus ticket (was the same price as the other tourist shops). The restaurant did not appear to be open when we stayed. Our room was a reasonable size, air-conditioner worked well and bed was average. TV had no English channels but shower pressure was good and hot. Very close to lots of cheap and delicious restaurants. For the price I was happy with the standard of accommodation, there were many others that were a lot worse!
