Lovely Lao-style accommodation with lots of wood, louvred shutters on the windows and doors, Lao art. Our room was large, the bed comfortable, and the plumbing facilities obviously new. Very friendly and helpful staff, and a decent breakfast. I particularly liked that they didn't charge extra for another cup of coffee. The inn is located on a quiet street at the west end of town, only a few blocks from Wat Xieng Thong, on the route of the monks' alms walk. My only relatively minor complaint was about the rather strange bathing/shower arrangement. There's a large stone tub in the middle of the room, with ceiling and hand shower attachments. Worked pretty well, with excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water, but I found it hard to get in and out of the tub and to avoid spraying water outside the waterproofed area. Also, I think this arrangement made the room a bit humid.
