Champa Palace Hotel

I will recommend it

Intersting and beautiful place to stay. Very peaceful. Lovely pool (big and clean) and absolutely lovely staff. Rooms are spacious, modern, very clean with all amenities. There is also a SPA which is cheap and give very good treatments. Breakfast is plentiful with a lot of choice and dinner menu is very good. However, bearing in mind the hotel is huge, it seems that food is prepared in the breafast kitchen which is opposite to the dinner restaurant, therefore by the time food is ready and staff collects it and brings it to your table, it was often verging on cold. Food did take a long time to come (we had dinner 3 nights there). Something needs to be done to keep dinner food warm from the time it is ready and being served. Overrall, a great stay in a palace (which it definitely is!) Abs would highly recommend.

Probably the nicest, most beautiful, impressive hotel property in Pakse. The breakfast was great, with lots of choices every morning. And the pool area is beautiful, though needs more lounge chairs (there are only 6!... and they don't face the sun). More lounge chairs could be put on the opposite side of the pool to accommodate more hotel guests. Overall, the staff were very friendly, hard-working and helpful. The only reason I can't give this hotel a 5-star rating is because my room wasn't ready at 14:00 as promised because, as I found out, they decided to extend the stay of the previous guests and allow them a late check out. Also, per the website, I booked a room that said it had a balcony (and the pictures were taken in such a way as to make it look like the room had a balcony), but in reality no rooms have private balconies. Rather, the entrances to each room are off of wide exterior verandahs, which is an architectural design flaw in my opinion. If entrances to the rooms were from an interior hallway, each room could have a fantastic, private balcony, which is what I though I was booking. And with all the heavy wooden shutters on the doors and windows, the rooms tend to be very dark and a bit claustrophobic -- unless you open the shutters, which few people do because of privacy concerns.

Friendly staff, wonderful room, amazing breakfast, beautiful palace. Only negative was people staying next door. Some Chinese guests were sitting always outside and drinking all day & night. Did not feel safe with my wife.
