Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge

Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel with rooms overlooking the Mekong River. Rooms are lovely, spacious, very clean and comfortable with balcony. Swimming pool also beautiful (but bear in mind there are about 150 steps to get to it!). We had dinner at the hotel which was very nice and bfast was set, probably because we had an early transfer. Hotel rooms and views are so beautiful, i wish we'd stayed a few more days. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend. "
