Hotellit lähellä Luang Prabang lentoasema

Plussat: The hotel is lovely situated on the Nam Khan river banks, inside a green garden and with a large pool with many sunbeds and umbrellas. I booked a bungalow which ensured a lot of living and storage space, a very stylish furniture, a large and comfortable bed, a frigo bar with also complimentary water, fresh fruit basket on arrival, excellent WIFI and a beautiful terrace. The staff was very kind and helpful all the time. I had no problem for an early check-in.

Miinukset: The hotel was not very close to downtown (20-25 minutes walking) and there were no tuk-tuk in the area since the closeby bridge is only for scooters (tuk-tuk and cars had to do a much longer way). The bamboo bridge, which in principle was the shorter walking way to dowtown, was broken (I had to take a boat to cross the river). There was also a free shuttle from the hotel to be booked about one hour in advance (may it be could be helpful to have it also at least at some fixed hours from downtown). The breakfast was surprisingly quite poor for a 4 star hotel (no local food). There were several small ants in the room, so no food should be left in.

Plussat: A nice hotel with great pool area and with friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms with comfortable beds and nice soft pillows.

Miinukset: Unfortunately our room rate did not include complimentary breakfast. And that $20 US per person for breakfast was a little expensive particularly, as our stay was low season. This made us go elsewhere for most of our meals and all our breakfasts.

Plussat: The location is perfect, view on the river. Breakfast is very good. The personnel and the staff are excellent, very friendly, and they read your questions, so you not have to ask ! This is in my opinion one of the places to stay in Luang Prabang. For me as a frequent traveller this resort is the best I ever visited.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Great resort. We even decided to come back after a trip into the jungle and got upgraded to a separate bungalow. Beautiful big room. Enormous bathroom and wonderful bed. The poon are is lovely and you are right by the river. Restaurant is good too. While you are in very peaceful surroundings at the hotel, town is only a walk away. Think it took us about 10-15 minutes to get into town.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The triple room size with en-suite bathroom and terrace (1/F) was good and bed were comfortable. Safety box, fridge, aircon, outdoor furniture, slippers, bathroom items were welcome. The pool was just great. The restaurant was a nice place with its outdoor terrace. Walking distance to the centre (15 to 20min)

Miinukset: All extra services were expensive (restaurant, taxi, tours, beverage,...) that is why we used other suppliers The men service in restaurant can be improved. There is no shuttle service (or basic arrangement) from hôtel to city center so you need to walk across the old bridge (which can be scary by night or rainy day) or use a 40000tak tuk tuk to be driven there (using another bridge) but it is right there are also free bikes to rent. The night price is quite expensive for Lao.

Plussat: From arrival to departure everything perfect! The team on spot is eager to fulfill all guest needs and requests. The rooms are beautifully decorated, WiFi very fast and the pool just leaves you breathless and makes the perfect holiday. Would book here again.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel fantastic staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, great pool, lovely staff and service

Miinukset: The bicycle wasn’t comfortable to ride

Plussat: Super kind, helpful and friendly staff The pool, the location of the hotel

Miinukset: Nothing much to complain about really

Plussat: It is a wonderful experience when staying at Luang Prabang!!! I am happy to recommend the hotel. Staff is so friendly and care anything for the customer. Although little far to downtone, however, just take a walk a few times or rent-free bicycle. In addition, they also provide free shuttle bus if customer needing. In the peripheral equipment, is so comfortable for the guest room, a relaxed atmosphere. Especially the swimming pool, it has beautiful designing and view. In a word, everything is so greater!!!

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The jungle feel, very authentic experience. The bungalows were beautiful and the breakfast was yummy.

Miinukset: The wifi constantly dropped out. I would recommend that a stronger system is installed.

Plussat: Staff were friendly and helpful The shuttle into city was easy to use. Fantastic breakfast All was great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I would definitely recommend the riverside bungalow. The views are gorgeous and it's very private and peaceful. Breakfast is huge and delicious and there's a lot to choose from. The bungalow is very big and comfortable. Free water refills, free bikes, free shuttle to the center, a refreshing pool and friendly smiles are other perks of this place.

Miinukset: I liked it all

Plussat: We had a wonderful stay at a riverside bungalow here: the surroundings and the garden provide a stunning setting; all staff were helpful and made special efforts to make us feel at home; the room is spacious, super clean, and stylish. Breakfast is served on the patio of the bungalow; and there is a regular shuttle service to/ from the center of town.

Miinukset: If you don't mind a location outside the peninsula heart of town and if the price does not provide an obstacle, then I can see no drawbacks (perhaps with the exception of the mediocre wifi connection inside our bungalow at the edge of the hotel).

Plussat: The cabins overlooking the river were private and it was lovely getting breakfast on the balcony. The breakfast was AMAZING. Free bicycles for use (which I used every day) and free shuttle to/from town. Everything was super clean and the staff were lovely.

Miinukset: They could have offered more information about things to do in town and also practical advice about seeing by waterfalls. They said flip flops would be enough (but you definitely need covered shoes if you want to climb up)

Plussat: The location was peaceful, a bit further outside of Luang Prabang then I anticipated. But the Guesthouse has a free shuttle service which worked really well for getting in and out of town. The bungalows are charming, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is a nice size with a good functioning shower. Breakfast is served on the private terrace of your bungalow. The quality and quantity of the food was good with a nice mix of fresh fruits, bread, eggs and even noodle soup. The people are lovely and go out of their way to help you. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Miinukset: The only minor things are not really the fault of the guesthouse, like the wifi not being strong enough at times. And in June Laos is extremely hot so in the daytime the air-conditioning and fan in the bungalows have a hard time keeping it cool. Though at night the temperature indoors was cool enough to sleep.

Plussat: We had a fantastic stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too hard for them. The breakfast was fantastic and delivered to your room punctually. Great choices should suit anybody. The gardens were lovely and the view from the balcony was great. Out of town a little bit but only 5 minutes in the courtesy bus. Also free use of bicycles was fun. would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Couldn't really fault this place. The pool was across the lane but that wasn't a problem. The pool was pristine. Only issue was that you couldn't really walk to town but it didn't bother us.

Plussat: I stayed at Thongbay with a friend and Could not have been more satisfied with the guest house. Our bungalow overlooked a beautiful garden and every morning we had a delicious breakfast on the porch. The staff was incredibly helpful and organized transportation throughout Luang Prabang for the whole stay. The bungalow was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was a huge plus!

Miinukset: The location is a bit far from the center of town, but they do have a free shuttle that runs several times during the day. It would have been nice to have had a little more flexibility in terms of our ability to get into the main part of town, but we made it work!

Plussat: Breakfast and dinner were delicious and stuffs were kind. Everything is clean.There are a lot of green, and it's near liver. I really relaxed with beautiful environment.

Miinukset: Some geckos came in our room. They are not dangerous but I felt scared a bit.

Plussat: All staffs I met are gentle, and breakfast was big and delicious:)

Miinukset: It’s a little bit far from the city, but they took us to the city by a car. So you don’t need to worry about it too much

Plussat: Great staff location breakfast found a secret hideaway that we will never forget staff beautiful

Miinukset: Everything was wonderful

Plussat: Good location. Easy walk to market street, phousi hill and most main attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and cheap laundry. Right on the nam khan river with sunset views.

Plussat: The staff are friendly and helpful. Very clean and near to shops and mart. Spacious room facing the river

Plussat: The staff were very kind and helpful and the breakfast included riverside deck was fantastic. I would definitely return. John

Plussat: Breakfast is okay, and the bed also comfortable and clean.

Plussat: Very kind service and a good view

Miinukset: Not at all

Plussat: This hotel is around 15mins from the airport and is centrally located to the main attractions of the city. The room was spacious with a great view of river. The staff was really helpful as they will guide you to all the places to visit and goodd restaurants too.

Plussat: Wonderful staff, clean rooms, use of bikes

Plussat: Breakfast is amazing. The staff (even with the language barrier) are very nice. The free bikes are awesome, the location is fantastic and overall the experience in this hotel was sensational! Would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Everything was good.

Plussat: I wish to thank everyone at Merry Riverside Hotel. Madam Khuyen and Mr Dung are the owners and they have a beautiful Hotel. The furnishings in the room are in immaculate condition, their Hotel is clean and the "shoes off at the door" policy not only helps with cleanliness but also keeps to tradition. An excellent Hotel to visit for everyone of any age. Mr Jain is the Head of the staff and is the man in charge of everything. He will greet you on arrival with a "welcome cocktail" and fruit. He will explain the local area and provide you with map. His English is superb and throughout your stay he will help with your every need. He can organise excursions, food delivery, the "free pedal bicycle service" provided by the owners, laundry and all other matters important to you. Breakfast is served on an outside decking overlooking the river. Mr Den is the cook and the breakfast he makes is amazing. The menu consists of a variety of dishes to cater for every taste. The banana pancake with honey was one of my personal favourites. Mr Den prepares each order freshly with an excellent taste. Ms Sen, Jua and Ms Pa are the waitresses, they bring the menu to the table, you relax with a cold or hot drink whilst your breakfast is prepared and they return with your freshly cooked breakfast. The cleanliness of the rooms are of a superior standard, they are cleaned daily with fresh linen, towels and toiletries. Each and everyone member of staff will greet you everyday with a welcoming smile and they will help and advise you with your every need. I have and will continue to recommend this fantastic Hotel to family, friends and colleagues because everything is amazing. Thank you to everyone.

Miinukset: Everything marvelous No complaints. Amazing Hotel

Plussat: location was a little far from main street, but overall is still worth the stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Too many housefly

Plussat: Beautiful stay!! Lovely view on the River, staff absolutely kind and efficient, room and bathroom very comfortable and clean, very good breakfast. I want to come back!!

Plussat: Siisti paikka, terassilta kaunis näköala. Hyvä palvelu mm. ilmainen lentokenttäkuljetus.

Miinukset: Aamiainen ulkotiloissa, nyt ainakin oli viileä kokemus (13 astetta. ) Toki aamiaisen olisi saanut huoneeseen ja vaatteitakin voi aina lisätä

Plussat: The staff was amazing. They were extremely friendly and willing to help in any way possible. Some of the best service that you can get from a hotel.

Plussat: This hotel is beautiful. A careful upgrade of a colonial house, the rooms are tastefully decorated. The place is spotless with the double level mezzanine bed area giving it a romantic feel. The hotel has a superb deck next to the Mekong which provides a lovely spot to sit and have a drink and watch the river boats drift by. The old town in Luang Prabang is like a postcard and this hotel is one of the highlights. A mention to the lovely staff who were friendly, helpful and effiicnet in recommendations and bookings. The food in the hotel is also worth the visit.

Miinukset: Take care coming down the stairs from the bed at night

Plussat: Great service, excelent location, very good breakfast with an amazing view. This place, as well as Luang Prabang itself, was way above our expectations. We will def be back and will most def book again in this Boutique Hotel.

Miinukset: If you are of light sleep, make sure you have a good wine glass before going to bed as you will hear noise from outside and walking within the hotel. Honestly, not the worst of things for us, and def not to miss the opp of staying here.

Plussat: Just about everything. The staff was fantastic. Breakfast was exceptional. The room opening to the sidewalk gave it an apartment feel. The view of the Mekong was relaxing.

Miinukset: It was warm and humid.

Plussat: Excellent location. The hotel is superb and the staff friendly and professional.

Plussat: This little hotel didn’t miss a thing. From a friendly, attentive staff, a great location with fantastic views, free sunset cruise with a complimentary drink, breakfast available all day long so one can enjoy at their convenience, not at a time convenient for the hotel, goodies refilled in the room everyday, providing shuttle service to and from the airport for a small fee to late checkout if they can accommodate are all that made this hotel a gem.

Plussat: Really nice hotel and the terrace restaurant has a great view. Very peaceful and just what we needed following a hectic time in some big cities around Asia. Very helpful stay who were happy to try and accommodate us. The book in the room had lots of helpful hints and tips and really helped during our stay.

Plussat: It was in a great location. The staff were the best!! Very personable.

Plussat: Nice location, nice building, very friendly and helpfull personal. Service with a big smile.

Miinukset: A swimming pool would be nice but is impossible at this location.

Plussat: Absolutely wonderful. I loved my stay! A gorgeous hotel, comfortable, a great location, and very friendly staff. They also gave great tips for how to best participate in the alms ceremony and other tips (the guide they have in the rooms is really helpful). Plus the free bikes and sunset cruise are lovely perks!

Plussat: Beautiful property with balconies overlooking the Mekong River. The staff was so kind and attentive. The pool/spa is a short walk away from the hotel and it is a beautiful pool to spend the afternoon by. Breakfast at the Riverview restaurant is delightful.

Plussat: Location Nice boutique hotel Staff View

Miinukset: Be aware that this hotel is not in an area but includes some separate properties (ie: swimming pool is quite far from the reception, some rooms can be away ~100-200-300 m from the reception and restaurant, you have to go across the road to reach the restaurant...) so it could cause some inconvenience

Plussat: Loved the hotel!! The rooms where lovely and the beds were the best we slept in in Laos!! Location was fantastic!

Plussat: The facilities are lovely and I really want to give this hotel an excellent rating. BUT - see below. The rooms are well decorated and water/tea/coffee provided. All the buildings are done in the style to comply with UNESCO standards. One night there was wine in the garden and it was lovely.

Miinukset: But I did NOT have hot water. I told the staff and they said it was fixed but it was not. Upon checking out I informed them again and he really didn't seem to care and only offered a half-hearted "sorry". This hotel was not cheap and I can't give higher marks. Also, the internet didn't work well in my room.

Plussat: The agreeability of the staff.

Miinukset: The breakfast could have had more choice.

Plussat: Great location by the Mekong.

Plussat: Such a lot of thought has gone into creating this special hotel. The staff were superb - warm and friendly. Delightful location. New spa was excellent

Miinukset: We can’t think of anything negative to say

Plussat: Amazing pearl in the beautiful city of Luang Prabang! Mr. Urban and his lovely team created a wonderful atmosphere and special place to relax and enjoy life! The little restaurant where the breakfast is served gives a stunning view on the Mekong. The food is great and at night time you‘ll enjoy your dinner in the light of little lanterns. The rooms are great and the team is willing to make everything possible!

Plussat: The design was beautiful

Miinukset: The pool was over the river, over a horribly rickety bridge which you had to pay 10k kip to cross.

Plussat: Amazing location on the river. Rooms are nice with outside space not all have river views but they are lovely as is the location of the hotel. The breakfasts are terrific and the seating is on the river with lovely views. Staff was helpful and very friendly.

Plussat: staffs are friendly. Location is good.

Miinukset: At the back of the building is too close to others. not privacy. we cannot see anything.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful surroundings and perfect location.

Plussat: Colonial period room decor evocative of the charm and romance during those times. Hotel has an excellent laid-back atmosphere that allows you to while your time away on its premises or by the river in the lower terrace. Lovely spa on premises. Breakfast comes with a daily special that offers variety and a taste of local flavors. Menu served by the restaurant is limited but of decent quality.

Miinukset: Was given a room on the ground floor that afforded little privacy since tourists and vehicles abound. The windows have to be left open for light to enter the room. Closing the windows gave more privacy but darkened the room considerably. As the room was very near the roadside, it was noisy whenever vehicles passed which happened very frequently throughout the morning and evenings. Service was overall patchy.

Plussat: Hotel provided a different cultural experience everyday, Almsgiving, market visit and cooking class, sunset cruise, cocktails and staff went out of their way to make these comfortable, educational and enriching. Food in the restaurant was excellent, especially the lunch we had on arrival, very fresh, exquisitely prepared and presented. Breakfast was delightful with the special of the day, a local speciality as well as eggs to order, yogurt, fruit, a variety of breads. We were upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the river, such a wonderful view of trees, plants and butterflies. The room was spacious, the wood so traditional, yet the shower in the room itself unusually modern in the French style. Coconut - based toiletries gave us a taste of the traditional materials in Lao culture, the kettle and provided chamomile tea were very welcome.The effort to reduce waste is also very good as we noticed that the use of plastic is minimal. Most of all, the kind and caring staff made us feel special and that they valued our visit and enjoyed sharing their culture with us.

Miinukset: Lighting could be brighter at the mirrors as the shadows prevented us from seeing our faces clearly. We just assumed there was a pool but understand that the Unesco restriction doesn't permit it. Maybe a bathtub is preferable to a shower for a soak in the hot weather?

Plussat: The location is excellent as it is walking distance for all the sights. The hotel has bikes which are an excellent way to get around. We crossed to the other side of the river and explored a bit of the countryside. The staff are absolutely charming. The hotel is lovely and Luang Prabang has a wonderful calm energy.

Plussat: The staff were amaxing! Good breakfast. Very relaxed and elegant environment.

Miinukset: The shower water was very frustrating! It kept changing from very hot to cold. Made having a shower a disappointing experience.

Plussat: Style, spa, staff, location

Miinukset: Bathroom not separated from the sleeping area of the room

Plussat: Staff were really friendly and the location was great. There were lots of activities available such as the cooking class and Alms giving.

Miinukset: I didn’t like the open bathroom style personally. Also our room was quite dark and it was confusing to figure out which switch turned off which light.

Plussat: The design of the room was great. Good location facing Nang Khan river. Breakfast wad great as well as staff were very friendly.

Miinukset: Bathroom was too dark.

Plussat: The room and facilities in general. Very good breakfast

Plussat: Location was excellent and I was very pleased by the staff. Mr. Sone went out of his way to help me retrieve a credit card lost in the local ATM. Many thanks to him and the rest of the staff

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: The staff went out of their way to ensure we were happy and content. There was an excellent spa on site.

Miinukset: I can think of nothing that we didn’t like.

Plussat: Ihastuttava pieni majatalo, siisti yksinkertaisesti kalustettu huone ja oma parveke. Kävellen pääsi helposti keskustaan. Hedelmälautanen ja juuri puristettu mehu saapuessamme olivat ihana yllätys.

Plussat: Lum, the owner, met me when I arrived. Instead of starting the standard checkin most hotels do he said "Please have a seat." Almost immediately a plate of fresh fruit and a fruit shake appeared. Lum said to relax and enjoy. When I was finished, Lum sat down with me and a map of Luang Prabang. He then proceeded to show me many places of interest, places to eat, night market, fresh food market, etc. which he marked for me on the map. This map saved me hours of looking online for info and hours of wandering down the wrong streets. Plus some of the places he recommended I would not have found on my own. Throughout my stay it was like this. Lum, his wife, and staff going the extra mile. They treat you like family. I arrived a stranger, but left feeling like they were my friends. The room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Free laundry is included. The breakfast was yummy and a good selection of choices. The location was great! I will be going back soon!!!

Miinukset: There is a sports pub not far away that plays crappy pop music and is kind of loud at night. Apparently they are violating local noise ordinances, so hopefully it will no longer be a problem soon.

Plussat: Location. Clean rooms. The owners are lovely, they were just never there.

Miinukset: Absolutely no information provided on check in about.. anything. Not ideal when travelling alone. Never anyone on reception which made it impossible to book tours, make enquiries etc. Really loud party across the road the first night, they did finish at 11.30 however. The staff apart from the owners have no English which is fine, but were also really unfriendly. The balcony does not overlook the river.

Plussat: The property is situated on a excellent location. The staff was super friendly and their service was brilliant. They service English breakfast in morning and it exceeded my expectations with the taste and quality.

Miinukset: Everything was more than expected..

Plussat: It was nice and quiet. I loved being able to have breakfast at the table just outside of my room. Very tranquil little place.

Miinukset: I booked a double room online but I was then given a room with two twin beds on the bottom floor. The rate stayed the same.

Plussat: The best thing is the owners and his family. They are so kind, friendly and supported us so well. We did laundry here at the best rate. Highly recommend! And another thing - the location is perfect

Plussat: Staff was lovely. Location was perfect, room was a decent size with a balcony. We also booked a motorbike and a taxi back to the airport through them. They were also helpful regarding information about the town and surrounding activities

Miinukset: The room and bathroom could do with some maintenance.

Plussat: The owner upgraded our room for free, the room is spacy and with a balcony! Drinking water served everyday~~ The owners of the homestay is a Vietnamese family, they are so kind with fluent English, we've had a great relax here, thanks a lot!

Miinukset: The breakfast is so simple that we can't get full. The location of the basin and tolet paper scroll are unfit, but isn't important~

Plussat: A friendly Family operated small hotel. good sized comfortable rooms. full menu choice of breakfast. great value for money. would recommend without hesitation.

Miinukset: nothing to complain about

Plussat: I loved my stay. It was great!!!

Miinukset: No complaints whatsoever

Plussat: Within walking distance to all the major attractions such as Palace museum, temples and rivers. The night market and eatery are within 10 minutes reach as well. So, this place is very convenient.

Plussat: the location is good near to center city , so many rest around the hotel staff also friendly ,breakfast is good , i like specially the ice COFFEE ^^ i like the room, we got the balcony one its really nice just to seat n relax after walking

Plussat: Perfect location. Quiet and restful. Very good staff.

Miinukset: It suited our purpose perfectly. We were not expecting 5-star facilities. It is a small questhouse. It is exactly what we were looking for.

Plussat: Friendly staff and owner with excellent recommendations. Beautiful rooms and garden. Delicious made to order breakfast. Great vibes and location.

Miinukset: Light from skylight in room woke us up early and no way to close it.

Plussat: great croissant & coffee. Staff are friendly and full service mind. room is clean and cosy. highly recommended!

Plussat: Fabulous location, great staff, simple but beautiful room, nice balcony, monks walk right past, great breakfast.

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything. This is our third stay there.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff - free bikes to borrow and great breakfast

Plussat: Great place.

Plussat: It was very clean and the staff was very nice. They let me have an early checkin and a late checkout. Great location, near everything.

Miinukset: Bathroom could be better, but was ok. a little noisy at night.

Miinukset: The quality of the beds

Plussat: Good breakfast, did not seem to be any limit. Excellent fruit salad, eggs cooked as you like and local specialities. Breakfast served in garden.

Miinukset: Complex built to Asia standard i.e. doors not closing easily few power points. To turn off lights you had to go to front door. No reading light over bed. Hanging space four hangers but limited hanging space.

Plussat: Staff, breakfast, greenery, quiet, secluded from street, tuk-tuk drivers know the hotel. (I was traveling with a western female friend who stayed in another room and she loved the place.)

Miinukset: This boutique hotel was clean and cute but it was not functional enough for me: There was no place inside the room to place things on. I had to open up my suitcase on either the bed or the floor. No desk or table to write on. The shower had no water pressure, and the drainage leaked out onto the floor. The wifi in my room did not work. The fridge was cluttered with junk that I did not want.

Plussat: I was at Manicham Guesthouse four years ago and loved this place. Andy and Vênus were so lovely and friendly with me and My friends. Four years later I returned to Luang Prabang and I was sure where is the best place to stay. And again we had a lovely and Nice time at Manicham. Andy and Vênus are amazing and helped us with everything we need (Tours, tickets, information) The rooms are very confortable and clean, the location is perfect, the breakfast is very good (amazing coffee).

Plussat: Great location,nice staff,room is clean ,highly recommonded

Plussat: Superb free breakfast. Andy and Venus are super nice and friendly.

Miinukset: Not applicable.

Plussat: Breakfast made a very good start to the morning: fresh croissants, baguette & sliced bread, homemade jams; A choice of eggs or pancakes for hot breakfast, homemade yogurt, freshly sliced fruit and staff to keep you company if you are alone at the table. Very cozy little place. Quaint. Homey :) Thank you Andy, Ta & Mr Wong and the rest of the Crew for looking after us. <3

Miinukset: Our stay ended :(

Plussat: Great atmosphere, very friendly owner and staff.

Miinukset: Shared bathroom in main house bit messy, lacked basics provided in en suite bathrooms.

Plussat: Loved it, nice clean place

Miinukset: Don’t book your bus tickets here, to expensive

Plussat: In this price range certainly one of the best option in Luan Pragan. Guesthouse is totally glean, even in lowseason they are gleaning garden and table areas all the time. Garden area is big enough and green, nice place to sit and meet others. Location can not be better. Andy and Venus take very good care residents, they are always ready to help and counsel. Breakfast even in lowseason is verygood. Rooms are average size but really clean and no problems with hotwater. Second time in this place, we can be happy to recommend this place to all kind of traveller.

Miinukset: Too short time

Plussat: Breakfast, coffee, staff, and location are excellent for enjoying Luang Prabang. What makes Manichan amazing is the family environment, inclusion, and welcoming nature of Andy and Venus, which translates to the same type of interactions among the guests. They will eagerly help you set up any excursions nearby or help with recommendations in and around town, and their efforts to involve me and others in some of their own plans made this a truly special stay. Highly recommended!

Plussat: Room was bright, clean and close to the terrace. Stuff is very friendly. Breakfast was delicious.

Miinukset: No soap in the bathroom (not a huge problem)

Plussat: Rooms are in an old Colonial style house, Everything was very clean. Breakfast with fruits was very delicious. Relaxed and easy going Atmosphaere. Guesthouse is centrally located near the morning Market, night Market and its only 100 m to the promenade of the river Mekong. But overall, despite the central location its very quiet at night. Next time I come to Luang Prabang, I would stay again.

Miinukset: Andy the owner was very polite to offer welcoming tea and gave valuable hints for interesting excursions to be done.

Plussat: Staff , Ambiance, Rooms , Assistance, willingness to help

Miinukset: I didn’t get to stay longer - not properties fault - thank you everyone

Plussat: Loved the beautiful gardens. We were there a few weeks to early as the resort is being renovated. It will be amazing by mid September when it is all finished. The staff were so attentive, Mr.Sai was always there for us.

Miinukset: We booked it as we thought it had an adult only pool, which it will have in just a few weeks time. I also thought it had a day spa...again it will have very soon. This place will be amazing soon.

Plussat: My husband and I stayed here and, despite being under construction, the property was comfortable, lovely, and hospitable. I can only imagine what it's like once the construction is complete! We highly recommend.

Miinukset: The breakfast could have had more choices for a buffet, but it really was delicious. There should also be phones in the room to connect to the front desk. Otherwise, we had a perfect time.

Plussat: very nice stuff, they provide a shuttle bus to and from the old town, that's convenient.

Miinukset: currently, the hotel is under construction, therefore a little bit noisy and dusty, the food from the hotel restaurant is not very tasty, we ordered a dish with pork, the meat tasted a bit stinky.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our private garden bungalow, it was very cute and very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating! I love the location as it is out of town but not to far that you can rent a scooter for few days, so fun!!

Miinukset: Apart from the works that were being done on the property, having another pool when the second is completed will make it way less crowded! The bathroom doors are the only issue that bothered us, they were very hard to close for privacy!

Plussat: The pool and the bedroom

Plussat: My dream resort exceeded our expectations. The place is beautifully decorated and the environment is just special. The staff went out of their way for my family of 4. They made sure my boys aged 9 and 7 were always having a good time.Everything was easy. We organised all our day tours from the hotel with ease and all well priced. We had the pool villa which was perfect for a small family and having a private pool was a great relief from the heat. It is a little out of the main part of town but we hired bikes to get around and it was easy. And the place offers a free shuttle into town which is great at night. Special thanks to Whan who was always looking out for us. We will be back!

Miinukset: It was in renovation but it didn't really matter. After the renovation is finished it will be even better.

Plussat: breakfast good, bed little hard but good, transport from and to airport - nice service - Thank you

Miinukset: unfortunately there was a noise from construction of kitchen, but i understand it must be done menu not welcoming for vegetarians, not all staff speaking english :-)

Plussat: The staff were super friendly and the family room in the garden was wonderfully quiet with a lovely balcony

Plussat: Lovely rooms with great view of the garden. We had a brilliant time. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We spent 5 days here and had a great time!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: 5-star service

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: All meals at the hotel were excellent and served by friendly staff. Room was very spacious and had all the requisite technologies and features. Would stay there again.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: This was our third stay and it was every bit as good if not better than the first two. We had a large room with big bed covered with mosquito netting. The bathroom was modern but the hotel was wooden and felt like something from the early 20th century. The staff kept it clean. We had a terrace overlooking the garden. The breakfasts were excellent both western and Laotian.

Miinukset: Not much. Staff smoothed over any wrinkles.

Plussat: I likes the service from all staff there. They take care all of our requests. The breakfast is cool and good quality. The hotel location is excellent, close to great restaurant and cafe. There are also Tuktuk park in front the hotel with fair price.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice staff, great location and good breakfast

Miinukset: The wind from air-condition did not reach to bed, I was feeling hot when sleep in bed.

Plussat: Fantastic stay in this beautiful hotel, perfectly situated within walking distances of loads of beautiful temples, both the Mekong and the Nam khan rivers and the National museum/royal palace. Staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful Room was spotless and bed was really comfortable Breakfast was delicious

Plussat: Staff were fantastic. Nor and Bird especially.

Plussat: Souk the breakfast guy remembered me and my coffee order from my last trip. A great team friendly and easygoing.

Miinukset: Can be a bit noisy because of location but aside from that wouldn’t change a thing.

Plussat: This was our fourth trip and every bit as good as the other times we had hoped and requested rooms we'd had before but the staff worked to find us one as good. The staff bends over to make the stay momorable and succeeded. Recommended highly.

Miinukset: Not much. Food was better than last time. The hotel used to have a small shop but that's gone. I had bought great gifts in the past.

Plussat: Location and staff. But there is plenty more hotels in this area with the same and more. Cheaper.

Miinukset: Just not up to scratch.

Plussat: The General Manager who is in charge of the Sofitel and this property was charming.

Miinukset: There were discrepancies or should I say a large differential in prices the hotel quoted and what was available. For example transfer to/from the hotel was @ USD 22 whereas available rate was @ USD 8/10 one way and similarly for the excursions / tours. I can understand such differences in other developed countries but not Laos. Food / cuisine also quite expensive.

Plussat: Wonderful hotel, beautiful decor, very good food and service, wonderful location!

Plussat: Just amazing! From the garden and the pool with the bar area to the room itself. Super clean and comfortable. The staff Speaks very good English and is really helpful for any request. Just wish i stayed more!

Miinukset: The breakfast is very good, homemade cakes and a choice between eggs that the prepare at the moment upon request. It just needs a little bit more variety to keep up with the hotel level. But the food is really good anyway!

Plussat: Our room (Deluxe traditon) was wonderful, clean and beautiful. Wooden floors were amazingly beautiful. In the pool area there was really heretage feeling when the old music was playing. Atmosphere in the pool bar was very warm and nice. Hotel is nere the nigth market and Mount Phusi, you can easily walk there (about 10-15min). Hotel arranged us trip to Khonsi warterfalls and the trip went very well.

Miinukset: Paths made of big stones was very slippery if you use sandals, but those paths were beautiful.

Plussat: The peaceful tranquil vibe of the villas and the gardens made Villa Maydou a perfect place to relax in the middle of our s-e Asia trip

Miinukset: The music - we were looking for music that reflected the Lao culture and couldn’t bear the Anglo European piano pieces or popular songs played round the pool and in the restaurant- great thing was staff changed the music when we raised the point with them

Plussat: Good location, lovely atmosphere in old style houses. Nice bar next to the little pool. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Wonderfully idyllic spot, away from the main part of Luang Prabang, but within easy walking distance. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we loved the private little balcony to sit out on. The swimming pool was lovely for afternoon escape from the heat. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We also liked having a choice of either a fan or air-conditioning in the room and the breakfast was plentiful with good choices.

Plussat: Viehättävä useista rakennuksista koostuva pieni hotelli, jossa pieni uima-allas ja erinomainen aamiainen. Henkilökunta ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Alakertaan kuului yläkerran kävelyäänet ym. Ilmastoinnissa ei pystynyt säätämään lämpötilaa.

Plussat: Hi recomended. Quiet place not far from the night market.

Plussat: Really lovely breakfast, beautiful garden and helpful staff

Plussat: Such a beautiful hotel in one of my favourite cities in the world. Perhaps a touch overpriced for the area, but it was such a pleasure to arrive here after two flights to reach Laos. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The free bikes were a little rusty but did the job.

Plussat: Natural paradise away from the centre hustle. Liked new front office manager Gail. There is a wat/temple just in front.

Miinukset: All ok

Plussat: The staffs were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was the best! The restaurant was the best as well. I love the cozy feeling inside the property. Very greeny. They let me change to another room for free! Really appreciate that.

Miinukset: According to our new room that they changed for us, I saw the toilet bowl had not flushed. It was some misunderstanding as well but the staff sorted out.

Plussat: It is located in the main street just near to Zurich bakery which is my favourite. The room is larger than other "Villas" that I stayed before and it's clean and comfortable. The breakfast is pretty good but always run out of fruits. :-(

Miinukset: With this price, I have no complaint and it's very valuable.

Plussat: Friendly and sincere service. Proximity to restaurants shops and temples.

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Great big family room. Clean. Fast efficient check-in process. Nice breakfast. Great location close to restaurants, atms and night market. The Alms Giving ceremony was just at the end of the little street.

Miinukset: Leak in bathroom ceiling, but not a big deal.

Plussat: The staff was awesome, as was the breakfast

Miinukset: It was all good

Plussat: Location, friendly staff and reasonable price

Miinukset: Wifi signal only common room

Plussat: Location is excellent, at walking distance to most of the places of interests in LPB

Plussat: Central location in the old part of Luang Prabang. Easy to get around.

Miinukset: Initially, the air-conditioning did not work properly BUT it was fixed quickly by the guest house staff.

Plussat: Position is perfect. They help you for any kind of request

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel is well and central located, you are quickly in the beautiful city centre. The room was big and clean. Also there were many options to chose for the breakfast.

Miinukset: The beds were really uncomfortable and you can feel the hard bed springs. We are really disappointed of the hotel staff. The communication was really difficult, they always seemed to be annoyed by our questions, were not willing to help and didn’t really talk to us. We had some situations were they made mistakes (booked the wrong bus although we mentioned it a several times, forgot to book our TukTuk, gave us a raw pancake for breakfast, half of the ordered breakfast was missing) but never talked to us about it, didn’t apologise and didn’t give any other options. We are very easy going guests and don’t have high expectations, but at least the hotel staff should be friendly and make their guests feel welcome which was not the case at all.

Plussat: We stayed for 3 nights and the rooms were spacious, clean, comfy beds and there was aircon and an over head fan. The location was fantastic, very close to the heart of Luang Prabang. We booked transport to Kuang Si Waterfalls through the hotel and used the laundry service. Liked being the able to chose the included breakfast on a menu, rather than it being a buffet selection like many other places across Asia.

Miinukset: Overall a great stay, but we did get quite a few cockroaches in the room which was the only negative.

Plussat: Brilliant location. Very friendly staff. Big bright airy rooms. Really tasty breakfast.

Miinukset: Some laundry went missing but we got it all back when asked

Plussat: Aamiainen oli erittäin monipuolinen. Todella viihtyisä hotellialue, kauniit maisemat. Myös huone todella viihtyisä. Sopi hyvin pitkien lentojen jälkeen jet lagista toipumiseen ja rentoutumiseen.

Miinukset: Hieman kaukana keskustasta, lähellä ei oikein mitään kiinnostavaa, hotellin ravintolaa lukuunottamatta ei ravintoloita lähellä. Bussilipun hankkiminen ei hotellilta onnistunut, vaan tätä varten joutui lähtemään keskustaan.

Plussat: The breakfast was super, western and asian choices, and tasteful. People in Kiridara are very friendly and helpful. The smile are sincere and peaceful.

Plussat: Lovely rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Food in restaurant yummy and not badly priced. Good variety at breakfast. Pool is lovely to finish off the day and watch nightfall. Had a Balinese massage treatment which was great too. Gym was small but sufficient for a mid trip workout.

Miinukset: A little out of the main ‘town’ but the bikes were free and a great way to see the town plus you could grab a lift and pick up any time you want in the morning and afternoon and there are scheduled pick ups and drop offs in the evening.

Plussat: People, location, hotel itself - all fantastic !

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The pool area is beautiful with lots of space and plenty of day beds for guests. Our room was really spacious with a very comfortable bed. Although the property is out of the centre of Luang Prabang, its location means that the views are beautiful and the free shuttle bus in convenient for getting into the centre in the evenings.

Miinukset: The spa services are very expensive and the food on site is also quite pricey, as compared to other options outside of the resort. The gym is also quite basic.

Plussat: The rooms were comfortable and the pool was nice with big cabana beds. Breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The hotel is around a 10 minute drive away from the centre (however the hotel do provide free hourly shuttles in the evening). The hotel was quite expensive for an inexpensive country. There were quite a few insects in the room, but it probably couldn't be avoided considering the location.

Plussat: 1. Cost efficient, one third of the price of Sofitel. 2. Very kind and helpful staff 3. Spacious and well decorated room. 4. Good mountain view 5. Good food 6. Nice swimming pool

Miinukset: Not really

Plussat: The hotel and grounds were beautiful, the views were good , the shuttle bus was very useful, breakfast was good.

Miinukset: There was a smell of drains coming into the toilet as the soil pipe housing was not adequately sealed, unfortunately the smell was also detectable in the bedroom, we had to leave the vent extractor running all the time we were in the room but every time we returned from a trip the smell was back again. There was no ice tray in the fridge and so I had to make one myself. The provision of bottled water into our room happened at random and was unpredictable. The access to our room was up a steep incline with many steps, it was not a problem for us but might be difficult for anyone less active.

Plussat: We were met at the airport by the friendliest driver who gave us bottles of water and cool, damp, flannel wash cloths - how nice is that? All the staff at the Kiridara were so friendly, particularly the front office staff and the drivers who take you in the shuttle back and forth to town. The bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept in. Our room had a little patio out back which looked towards the pool area. The breakfast had plenty of choice and you could eat outside or in. There is a spa in the hotel and I had a lovely massage, the staff there were very friendly. The shuttle was very helpful as getting into the centre of town is a long walk, we never walked it but rather took the shuttle, or a tuktuk. The staff did not mind my daughter and her partner hanging out with us at the pool as it was never very busy. It was nice to have the option of ceiling fan or air con, the room had both. Would recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: I think the shower area might have been better if it was tiled with white tiles as it felt a bit dark, despite the light you could turn on.

Plussat: The pool area is beautiful. The staff are friendly and the pillows are amazing!

Miinukset: A little bit of a walk to town

Plussat: Staff were mostly friendly and attentive

Miinukset: The air conditioning wasn’t cold enough, with a noisy sound as well; the bathroom door wasn’t properly installed with water leaked out after shower; it’s not practical to keep asking for the WiFi password

Plussat: The staff were great; breakfast decent; and rooms were cool as a result of goid design and the old hard wood architectural fixtures. The location is all but unmatched in Luang Prabang. Very quiet at night.

Miinukset: At least one guidebook wrongly describes this as having a pool - the historic properties at this end of Luang Prabang do not as they don't have the space (apparently the fancy suites have plunge pools but I cannot verify this!). Room was fine but wish I'd gone for one with its own balcony. The restaurant/bar however - from which you can see the Mekong - was a nice place to sit early evening.

Plussat: The hotel is aesthetically very beautiful. The staff will do everything they can to make your stay special with lots of thoughtful little details provided in the room. Staff are courteous and efficient and you will fell well looked after. The movie screening every night is a pleasant touch. The location is great with view over the Mekong river and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: There is no pool or gym. The spa is also very expensive, especially when you can walk 2 minutes down the road and have a range of options at a fraction of the price.

Plussat: Good food, good location with a very good staff.

Plussat: It's a place to be.

Miinukset: nothing at all.

Plussat: Great Staff. Lovely room. Many nice touches. Thoughtful people. Very accommodating.

Miinukset: The bed was a little hard for me.

Plussat: very good location, just beside my favorite temple in Luang Prabang, the Wat Xieng Thong, and the hotel restaurant just in front of the Mekong river, very nice view. Victoria Xiengthong Palace used to be a personal residence of the king of Laos, therefore here is a historical place.

Miinukset: the reception services are great, and also the restaurant services are all very nice, but the spa is not very good, the masseuse who massaged me seems was not well trained, most of the time she was just pressing my body with both hands, for a while she probably thought I was falling asleep, so she just held my leg still, I am very disappointed with this massage, it's totally not worth the 80$USD (90 mins), even with the 1 for 1 promotion , still not worth the money, outside the hotel, the normal price average is 8$USD per hour.

Plussat: Beds very good, staff perfect, good food

Plussat: Whats to say.....this is by far one of the best properties I have stayed at in Asia. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially the GM Mr Tuan and his fantastic French Chef JB. Its location is close to a number of very special and beautiful Pagoda Buddist Temples and local small business and coffee shops ect. The Hotel is actually the last Royal residence of the last King who abdicated in the seventies.

Miinukset: Well , there is no pool, this due to the property being a Unesco site and a heratige site so not allowed .apart from that nothing else really...

Plussat: Located toward the tip of the peninsula, I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go. I stayed there during off-season, with no crowds or traffic anywhere, so it may be different at other times, but the booking.com price was about 1/3 the lowest price for a room as stated in Lonely Planet (2017). On top of that, with few guests, the hotel upgraded my room to one with two stories and a private jacuzzi on the first floor! There was complimentary pick-up at the airport, but I was charged for the return trip. But here is the best part: each day two cans of Beerlao appeared in the fridge at no additional charge.

Miinukset: Every night at 7 pm, the hotel shows the 1927 quasi-documentary film "Chang" in one room of the restaurant (or, I understand, outside when it is not the rainy season). I commend the hotel for showing this important film. It is well worth seeing, but it highlights the slaughter of now-endangered species by local people. Moreover, the praises to Buddha in the silent film's dialog text are inappropriate. The film shows no evidence of Buddhist practice among these local people; being rural people from Laos, they would have most likely been animist.

Plussat: -Excellent restaurant and kitchen. Chef Jean Baptiste always goes out fo his way to guarantee our satisfaction. My daughter is vegan. He always had something tasty for her and prepared for her special meals. the breakfast buffet was very good. a la carte dinner was always excellent. If he's not around, we would always have a communication problem with the staff as their English is lower than the required level to deal with tourists. Ask for him if you are there. -All staff was nice and ready to help despite the language barrier. They were very attentive and keen to serve but they just need some English lessons that the management should provide. -Excellent location on the river and walking distance to all attractions. very nice quiet atmosphere. The original fabric pieces on the room walls added a lot to the authenticity. - Very cute spacious balcony. (though some rooms are without balcony, you have to ask for it) - Nice landscape. - Prior to my arrival, communication with the reservation was very good to guarantee that I get what I asked for.

Miinukset: - low level of communication in English. Only the kitchen chef and one or two persons at the reception (who were not there all the time) could speak good English. Whenever I had any request a little bit more than "can I have a coffee or a glass of water etc" or maybe a question about the menu or what a dish contains the staff wasn't able to communicate. I had a relatively long stay so that was a bit bothering. - The quality of the massage in the spa could be higher. This is what we would expect in Laos. - The bathroom was just ok but for this hotel standard it needs some makeover as it's getting old. Same for the sofa.
