“Sehr günstige Unterkunft am Mekong”
The room was huge, with an extra bed. The view looked out over the Mekong, and from the balcony you could see both sunrise and sunset :) Contact was smooth, handled directly via WhatsApp. The reception was warm. We were picked up by Dee’s son at the bus station and arrived at the opening ceremony of the nearby massage salon. Dee handed us a beer and chatted with us. The bed was uncomfortable, but for the price it was fine. Wi‑Fi was poor. The windows couldn’t be opened or the curtains seemed glued. Service fell short: the directions to the Kong‑Lor cave by public transport were inaccurate, and there were no travel agency recommendations. Quietness came later because we could hear music from the night market, and the massage salon’s opening party ended after 23:00, even though the hostel enforces a 22:00 curfew. The attached massage salon was the biggest drawback. On the second night we booked a spontaneous one‑hour foot and shoulder massage, but it finished after 50 minutes, was far from relaxing, and in parts was simply awful.
