Independent in Kok Klang from NZ$18

"I think this is my fourth or fifth stay at The White Inn. My first stay was April 2018, and my last was just before the pandemic in September 2019. I've been travelling to Cambodia since 2022 but decided to switch back to Laos for a change. After my first stay in 2018, I recall posting something along the lines of "I can't see any reason why I'd stay someone else in Nong Khai." And I haven't. Lift has improved in speed and the cleanliness, room comfort, quietness, and staff professionalism is still five stars. I arrived earlier than expected so I left my passport for the well spoken receptionist to scan and went for lunch at one of the local restaurants. Came back. All ready to go. It may sound odd, but I'm fairly sure I've stayed in that same room at least twice before. Anyway, a comfortable, enjoyable experience with bottled water, good water pressure, and a hard comfortable bed. And the pricing is spot on, too. 700 or so Baht a night. Will return again next year."

"Great staff but resort very run down and poorly maintained and not presented very well. Wouldn’t take much effort or expense to make it a lot more presentable. Breakfast buffet was limited but very good what they did have for options. "

"This property is a mixed bag. Started off well when manager bought a hit water kettle for morning coffee when I asked about one in my room. But problems built over two weeks. Key cards failed 3 times. Air Con failed in last night. BTW I lost one of the key cards through a hole in my pocket, and was charged a ludicrous 400 baht for it. On two nights, neighbors packed in an adjacent room had loud drunken parties late into the evening. Eventually management did quiet them down, but, having already had to change rooms due to loud wrecking ball construction outside my window, I wasn’t in the mood. There is no elevator to the upper floors. The “balconies” are just a 2x2 outdoor space where smokers can do their thing - no chair, no table, and definitely no view. The price was reasonable, but it’s quite easy to find better for the same or less. The location is very good, a short walk to great little riverfront walking street, 7/11, ATMs, and excellent night street food."

"I have stayed here many times now and am always happy, safe, and comfortable here. Breakfast is good and the lady working there in the morning is very accommodating to requests. Front desk personnel are also outstanding. Location very good and one street away from activity so much quieter than other nearby hotels. It's not a 5-star hotel so have reasonable expectations. Very good value for the money. Highly recommend."
