Definitely one of the nicer places in town. It's not on backpacker alley, so the noisy 20-something crowd and cheap eateries are far away. Sadly room 101, a king bed, is the first room adjacent to the check-in counter and dining tables for breakfast. By 7am, you'll hear a lot of clinking of cups and plates from the included b'fast....

I booked through the hotel website which required me to open an account with a third party booking service and pay for the rooms using my visa. I did this and received confirmation from the company that I had paid; however, I did not receive confirmation from the hotel. I emailed the hotel and was told I would have to... More

A lovely guest house on a quiet and clean street conveniently located near the night market. The rooms were very clean and well maintained with beautiful wood paneling and comfortable beds. Helpful staff. Breakfast ok.

Lovely wooden guesthouse centrally located just off the river in Luang Prabang. The rooms are very tastefully finished, and our room had a gorgeous balcony. As others have mentioned the showers are superb. The staff are very helpful and went out of their way to find me help with my car when it had problems. For those driving here ten... More

Reserved this hotel through Agoda beforehand as we knew we'd be arriving very late into the night and didn't want to take the time to check-out multiple hotels. At $55 (incl taxes and service charges), it was a little more of a splurge knowing that there are many cheaper options in LP, although we felt it was still good value.... More

This hotel is new and so everything clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ask them anything and they will provide within 30 sec. A short walking distance to the Mekong River on a quiet lane. 5 - 10 min. It is quiet in the evening and still close to restaurants, bars and massage parlors. Would recommend as quiet,... More

Satyed here for 7 days and could have stayed a lot longer. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to help out. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well furnished and had a great shower. Our room (201) had a large balcony with a partial view of the Mekong. The location is perfect. A 1 minute... More

Great location Great staff who are very friendly and keen to speak to you to practice their English! Breakfast: Very basic. Rooms: Dark and noisy as wooden floors and doors throughout & guests are very inconsiderate to others!! Shower is amazing! They just need to do some sound proofing of the rooms & it would be much better!

Found this hotel after looking on line. The room was fantastic, beautifully decorated with teak floors, green glass tiles in the bathroom and attractive lights. We booked for 4 night at $45/night but had to move after one night because although they charge high season rates, its still low season and this means that building work started on another part...
