The guesthouse is located right beside the evening markets, next to the museum, and is surrounded by cafes, restaurants, tour shops, and small stalls selling to the tourist market. The room was simple and small, but perfectly functional. The bathroom appeared to have been recently renovated and was of a good size. From the street front you walk to the... More

I was very pleased with my stay at the Phounsab Guesthouse during a recent visit to Luang Prabang. From the street, the entrance to the Guesthouse is one of those "blink and you miss it" places. It really doesn't look like much. You check-in and enter the PG through the dark reception area, and come out into an open-air courtyard,... More

After the initial shock of the entrance, we find our self in a small courtyard that is simply wonderful. The room is quiet nice and comfortable, there are bigger rooms for those ho wish. Free cafe/the and fruits in the morning. The staff was most agreeable. But the best feature is the fact that the hotel is in the centre... More

My room was nice and the hotel itself is beautiful and centrally located. It's quiet so you don't get woken up by chickens or monks like I've heard might happen at other hotels. The staff (including the owner) were not very friendly or helpful. Many things in my bathroom (shower head, drain, toilet, hot/cold water) were broken. I found it... More

Located on the main street, just 20m from the Night Market. Very helpful and nice staff, clean rooms, very nice bathroom. Laundry available in the hotel (10.000 Kip) - price same same as everywhere else on this street. There was a problem with internet connection (very often the connection was lost). Two days in a raw there was a blackout... More

I stayed here for four nights in mid-January. The Phounsab has an excellent location on the main street that runs through Luang Prabang, less than a half block from the start of the night market. There are travel/tourism agencies, restaurants, cafes, money exchanges, shops, and internet cafes surrounding the Phounsab. The National Palace Museum is one block to the west... More

The Phousab Guesthouse is in the center of everything. On the main street, next to the night market and a lot of restaurants and shops. We stayed almost two weeks in Phounsab guesthouse and liked it very much. Room with own balcony on the backside. Reception very friendly and helpful. The wooden floors looks like mirrors by the very intense... More

Many times in Luang Prabang and I found just this last november (2011) the place where to stay in Luang Prabang. From the welcome till the room discovery, Phounsab Guesthouse will enthusiasm you. Big and clean room with nice furniture. A comfortable mattress, the charm of the wood, air con, cleaning everyday, a quiet but central place. The owner is... More

Stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed the overall experience. The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, hot water running, and very close to the night market/phu si/other attractions, yet quiet enough to sleep in. The morning alms procession is also right down the street! We got the rooms to the back of the guesthouse, so that may have lended... More

Great little guesthouse right in the heart of Luang Prabang. Very convenient and comfortable. We moved here after 3 nights at Thongbay. Thongbay was very nice but less convenient as we had to take a tuk tuk back or wait for the shuttle. Love this little guesthouse for the service and very reliable hot water. The room was clean and...
