Small family run hotel, well located with shops, ATMs, restaurants nearby. Room was amazingly spacious for the price, holding all my bags, lots of useful furniture, wardrobe, side table, two bucket chairs ... Floor was gleaming clean. Large comfortable bed with medium pillows. AC not too loud. TV quaint 24" but a surprising range of channels including sports. Reception staff excellent.

Set in Ban Khonkèo, 1 Min to Slow Boat Guesthouse offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The nearest airport is Tachilek Airport, 99 km from the guest house.

My experience at the 1 min to Slow Boat Guesthouse was excellent. The location is ideal for travelers catching the slow boat, with the ticket office less than a minute away. The surrounding area is bustling with an ATM, market, restaurants, coffee shops, and other convenient spots like a pharmacy and massage shop. The guesthouse is clean and well-maintained, and the bed was very soft and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the beautiful walkway along the Mekong River. Highly recommended for its comfort and convenience!

    We stayed here before the Gibbon Experience and returned again after. Great location near the slow boat pier and the city center, and friendly staff. The rooms on the side of the road are bigger and nicer in terms of appearance, but the rooms on the riverside are more quiet away from the street noise, and you get a nice patio with view over the river.

    Simple accommodations, but great host. She also knew everything about the gibbon experience and let us keep our luggage in her place and booked us matching bus tickets to cross the border to Thailand directly after our return from the trip. Best value for money.

    It's the best that you can get in Houy Xay for this price. Compared to another hostel that we stayed at in Hoay Xay before the Gibbon Experience, this was much cleaner and quieter, with more space and more shelves where we could actually put our stuff. The staff was super nice and helpful. recommended!

    Great location (25 metres from Gibbon Experience) and a very helpful and resourceful host. Accommodation is basic (as the area in general) but functional and of great value.

    I have spent a nice time at this lovely guesthouse. The room was clean, the matress was good and every comodity was at a walking distance. The guesthouse is situated in the main area and the city center nightlife. They arranged the booking of the slowboat, even got me a front seat as I requested and a meal for the journey. The hostel staff was very nice, always happy to help : they made everything really easy.
