When we booked this hotel, it was still the Shinta Mani, affiliated with a property in Siam Reap (Cambodia). By the time we arrived, it had just re-launched as the Luang Prabang View Resort. Despite everything (and everyone, it seems) being new, the staff were incredibly welcoming and eager to please. There were a couple of things which impressed us... More

It is impossible to fault the Shinta Mani. A superb 5 star hotel in a breath taking location. The accommodation was superb. Unfortunately, the room safe was too small for my laptop. The hotel provides a shuttle into town, and that is where we ate out. The whole experience was great.

What a disaster! The only good thing about this hotel is the view, if you can see through the haze of smoke. The service is terrible and quality of food really not worth it. The pool area on the very top of the hill is so hot that you really cannot enjoy it - it has concrete all around the... More

Shinta Mani hotel in Luang Prabang is a knock out. The hotel sits atop a small hill overlooking the outskirts of Luang Prabang and affords a breathtaking view of the nearby mountains. The hotel design is beautiful. There is a central section that houses reception, cafe and restaurant, and an immense swimming pool. Our room was large and luxuriously furnished.... More

If you choose to stay downtown in picturesque Luang Prabang then there are many good small hotels and guest houses to choose from- but mostly without swimming pools and perhaps a little cramped. Out-of-town (10 mins by shuttle bus) THE place to stay is at the Shinta Mani! Set on a hill-top with 360degree views of the valley and surrounding... More

We loved the room, the view, the pool, and had a terrific valentines dinner. Everybody is as friendly as can be. But. . . I'd still prefer to be in town, perhaps along the river, just to make it easier to enjoy the ambience of this charming, laid-back place that shows off all the pluses and minuses of how 21st... More

We enjoyed this hotel. The staff was very helpful, attentive and darling. I just can't say enough good things about them. While this was a little way out of the action of the town area, it was quiet for sleeping (no Motos buzzing by your room at all hours) and as it is up on the hill, cooler for sleeping.... More
