You were being pampered all the way from the moment you checked in until the time you checked out. The staff are very friendly, attentive and professional. Rooms are big with a balcony. Although there are quite a lot of mosquitoes around, the hotel provides a mosquito net around the bed so you can sleep in peace at night. We... More

Myself and my girlfriend arrived in the evening with our friend who was staying here. Even though we were not guests to start with, we were treated so nicely as if we were welcomed into their home with open arms. We were told that there was a room available so that we could stay with our friend here rather than... More

Beautiful, restful, large and gorgeous rooms, great views, excellent staff and easy access to this charming World Heritage designated town -- what more could one ask? Oh -- not to overlook this -- the food at the hotel is excellent; breakfasts are more than we expected -- go for the mango crepes! I'd come back in a heartbeat.

We have just recently returned from our trip to Luang Prabang with our two teenagers and my husband and I both made the comment that this hotel was the best that we have stayed in. The management and staff of the hotel are highly professional and very friendly and could not do enough to advise and help. The hotel is... More

La Residence Phou Vao meets all of the criteria one should expect from a 5 star property but the thing that truly stood out during our three night stay were the staff! The management has a detailed focus on training and building a team that not only is professional and knowledgable but also exceedingly friendly. From the General Manager down... More

One of the nicest places I've stayed at. Loved the rosewood furniture, the infinity pool, the view from our room of Phousi rising in the mist. Friendly staff. Only downside is that its away from the city, but this allows for more of a quiet relaxing environment too. Food was excellent. Loved Luang Prabang- an enchanting city, a wonderful hotel.

When we booked this hotel we did not know that it would end up on the top ten list of T&L mag. The price was great and if you include the free dinner for two nights and the everyday breakfast it is hard to imagine the how they could make it work. The spa great and not overpriced and 2... More

We stayed for two nights. This is a very nice hotel, well-managed, with outstanding service. Our room was spacious, well-furnished, and had a good layout (including a recessed balcony). To our great surprise (given that it is Laos...), WiFi was very fast (and free). We also appreciated the flexibility of the staff in terms of transfers from/to town (also free).... More

This is a wonderful place, typical of Asian style. Lose your way in stairs and paths to admire the marvelous garden with so many exotic flowers. Have a rest, after a great moment in the spa nearby the small pool side and then admire the splendid and quiet landscape made of hills, forests and mist. Do not forget typical massages,... More

The service was exceptional. We had a wonderful time in Laung Prabang, the reason being La Residence Phou Vao. The rooms are well appointed, free shuttle service was well organised. The concierge planned exceptional day trips for us. I Highly recommend this hotel.
