Oulayphet Hotel

The breakfast was included and gave me a good start before work: coffee, tea, toast, eggs, jelly, rice, vegetables, sausages, and more. It saved time in the morning, so I could sleep a little longer, which I needed while settling in, meeting new colleagues, and having some Beerlao with them. I really enjoyed my stay at Oulayphet Hotel and would happily recommend it, especially over staying in a hostel. I came from Germany for a three-month internship and booked two weeks at the hotel in advance so I wouldn't have to search for accommodation, a motorbike, and initial bearings at the same time. It turned out to be a good choice. After a 15-hour flight, arriving in a clean, air-conditioned room and taking a warm shower was a relief. The owner speaks good English, as do his wife and the employees. They were all friendly and tried to help me find my way in the new surroundings. Laundry costs only 15.000 KIP per bag, and you can rent a motorbike there for half the usual price at other places. As a hotel guest, I didn't have to hand over my passport or a large security deposit for the bike. That made it much easier to explore the city, visit apartments, and look for my own motorbike independently.
