A very good stopover.
Located 1 minutes walk from the ferry, next to the shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was large and comfortable and the WiFi was good.

Nice clean room, friendly staff, we also had a nice view of the Mekong river over the rooftops across the steet. Reasonably quiet and very close to the dock. However, our next door neighbour was smoking alot on the narrow common balcony/walkway, and our room smelled of cigarette smoke, even with windows closed. Would be alot better if there designated smoking area away from the rooms.

Clean large rooms close to boat dock. Really friendly manager who speaks excellent English. We also had a nice breakfast there. This appears to be the best choice if you are a traveler who likes to stay in places that are are “very good but not too expensive!”

Ok for 1 night but overpriced
I chose this guesthouse for the convenience of location and the overall good reviews. In fact, the guest house is one of the closest to the pier, and this is a very good advantage if you have to carry your luggage to the top. The room I stayed had decent size and was clean, and so as the bathroom. However, instead of hot water I had slightly warm water; because the weather was cold, this made a difference (I would rather shower in warmer water). More importantly, after checking around in the village I'd realized the cost charged of this guesthouse was way above the standard in Laos, specially because it did not even include breakfast. While the stay was comfortable, I would not stay here on a return trip and would find a more affordable place with breakfast included.

no pick up at the pier
After a long day on the boat and finally getting old of our luggage, we were surprised to find nobody waiting for us at the pier. Since the climb is fairly steep, help would have been welcome. Other then that, the room was clean, good mattress and plenty of hot water. Everything needed was provided. I would stay there again.

Nice hotel in a boat stop over town.
A nice clean hotel in Pakbeng - this town is just a stop over for the Mekong boat trips so not much there at all. This hotel has a lovely frontage where you can sit and watch the world go by. Small menu at hotel - didn’t try the food. Service very good. Don’t expect much of the wifi but didn’t expect any in the middle of the Mekong. The hotel will pack your breakfast if you catch on early boat. It looked the nicest hotel in the town.

Clean, simple
DP Guesthouse is clean and a good choice if you are en route on the Mekong River. It is very simple with a nice coffee shop/seating area on the main street. If you can afford a more expensive place in town -- go for it. If this fits your budget and you are there for a night -- it is just fine (and I am fussy).

Great location
This hotel is about 200 yards up the hill from the board. It is on the main street and is surrounded by restaurants, bars, food stands and little stores catering to river travelers. This little family run hotel also serves a good simple breakfast.

A Wonderful Place to Stay on the Mekong River.
This was the nicest place I stayed at during my time in SE Asia. It is in the town of Pak Beng or village if you will located on the Mekong River. Not sure if there are roads in and out of Pak Beng as I arrived on the slow boat from Houi Xai. The shower was nice and warm, the bed very comfortable. Beautiful rosewood flooring and furniture throughout. The proprietor has decent English. He answered all my questions and was very fair with me. Thank you.

Best stop in town
Best location, clean, tasty breakfast and great owner for a very reasonable price. Basic room on the main street is all we needed as we were just there for the overnight slowboat stop. If you can would suggest staying for an extra night and get the feel of a small town.

It was a nice room with a very nice bathroom and a terrasse to the street where you can sit. The room was very small and it was very noisy from the street (drunken people and motorbikes/cars). In general I would not recomend to stay there! It is way too expensive for what it is! No breakfast included (you pay 5$ extra for that). 10min walk from the slow boat pier was next very handy & the boss was friendly. Rooms where clean. In Pak Beng you can get twin bed rooms spontanous from 5$ a night, no need to book anything in advance:)
