Rooms are clean, bathrooms nice (loves the sinks!), friendly staff. Low water pressure in the shower. Free wifi. Great location. I would give it a 5 if the room bad been in the $15-20 range but at $25 for a double (2 of us) without breakfast (just free bananas!) it is overpriced compared to other hotels in LPB, which there...

The Lao Lu Lodge is an OK place but despite some previous comments I thought that it was overpriced for what it provided. I was charged 200,000 dong (US$25) and an additional 20,000 or 30,000 a night for air-con. This is for a very basic room with no TV, no fridge etc. The bathroom is big, although the water pressure...

We didn't know about this place until we actually found it one day while walking around the Morning Market and liked it so much we decided to switch the next day and spent a couple of nights here.. We got a fan room which we didn't even use since it was just the beginning of the warm season...everything was clean... More

This was our third visit to Luang Prabang in as many years but Lao Lu Lodge would have to be our best guesthouse experience so far. Arriving by slow boat from Huay Xai via Pak Beng we were gratified to find that Lao Lu was only a short 5 minute walk away from the boat ramp, located on a small... More

The owner speaks French and is very helpful and nice. The guest house is very well located between the Morning Market and the Mekong. The only drawback is the quite noisy environment with barking dogs and morning market rumors.

We stayed at the Lao Lu Lodge twice on our trip through Laos - the first time rather by accident, the second time, because we liked it so much. Lao Lu Lodge is located in a colonial style complex with light rooms, comfortable beds, pretty bathrooms with hot water. The river boats up and down the Mekong leave pretty much... More

As I am writing this I have extended my stay at the Lao Lu four times. I came across the place from a review and found it by walking around asking people where it was. It is tucked in between the Mekong and the morning market and not touristy at all - and it doesn't have a website. The rooms... More

Lao Lu Lodge is a little known place as it does not have a website, and reviews about it are few. We came across it while meandering around and it was a real find. It was cheaper than our previous accommodation, Thatsaphone GH, and offered better value. The location may be a little way off the main street compared to... More

Lao Lu Logde is ideally located between the morning Market and the Mekong River. The lodge is very clean, quiet and pleasant. We return to LP every year and always stay with a continued satisfaction at Lao Lu.
