Sanga Hostel is set in Pakse, less than 5 minutes' walk from Wat Luang and just 10 minutes' walk from the Kong River. A highlight of the area is the Pakse Golden Buddha, which is situated across the river on a hill, just 4 kilometers from the hostel.

Such a lovely place and such a lovely staff! Breakfast was delicious and filling. Coffee, Water and Tea are provided for free all the time. Rooms were spacious and clean. We left our bags for a night and took shower after we got back from the loop. The owner even gave us a lift to the Bus Station when we were leaving Pakse... The service was just outstanding!

Set in Pakse and within 300 metres of Wat Luang, Chato Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is situated 2.5 km from Champasak Stadium, 2.9 km from International bus station KM 2 and 10 km from Phu Salao Golden Buddha. Some units at the property feature a balcony with a city view.

Chato is by far a more relaxed place. Quiet but in the middle of restaurants and cafes. Situated in front of the night market, ATMs , Korean food, even a Thai coffee shop . Chato is your best option . Skip the trendy , pricy places, as they are not always the best. Sleep well at Chato .

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A hostel with more natural space than the average. Backpacker’s hostel has multiple options for accommodation such as private rooms, family rooms and soon to have camping tents. This hostel is a nice mix between camping yet with access to restrooms, restaurants, bar and assistance for trekking or transportation services. A very relaxed and friendly environment ran by a lovely family who takes care of their community as well as their guests. Definitely recommend.

    Best stay EVER! They let me check-in at 9am after my sleeper bus! The bed was very comfy, even with a mixt 10 beds dorm I slept like a baby. Loved the curtains, towel, free ice-cream everyday !!! The bathroom right outside the dorm was perfect. Sewing kit to fix your clothes if you need. Everything was clean. The receptionist is a fabulous lady, always lovely, smiling, ready to help. She gave me some food for my 12 hours bus to siem reap. That I booked with the hostel for cheaper than 12go by the way! Best place in Laos.

    The beds are large and incredibly confortable, and despite being in a dormitory, we each had some good privacy thanks to the curtains. After 2 months traveling in Asia, felt good to have a nice closed shower that is not above the toilet and that has hot water! And finally, their breakfast buffet in the morning is tasty so overall good experience here. It’s a very nice hostel I recommend before going to do the loop (they will keep your bag, and you can shower when coming back)

    clearly one of the best hostel in Asia so far. Any backpacker I met in Laos who had been in Pakse recommended to stay there and I understand why. The ladies are so nice, everything is made simple for you from transportation, tours organisation. I was there during Christmas and they even offered the Xmas eve dinner to all guests ! Besides all this, everything is very clean, bed very confortable and laundry super fast (less than 12 hours for no additional charge).
