I stayed at Symoungkoun Guesthouse for 4 nights in July 2009 with my girlfriend. Our room was good but basic - we had a bed for two, a private bathroom, a TV and an air conditioner. We found everything to be very clean and safe, and the staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful in general. Contrary... more

I second all the previous reviews: quiet yet relatively central location, cozy rooms, very clean. Symoungkoun lost points, though, due to the sporadic availability of running water. It felt like there were more times without water than with, making it sometimes difficult to wash our hands, brush our teeth, and take showers. Symoungkoun lost even more points due to constant... more

Overall, this hotel is clean, cheap, and nice as all the other reviews have said. The AC in the rooms work well and the satellite TV is a nice perk to have in a foreign language since there is not much to do here at night. There isn't a big party scene here.

The staff were also exceptionally friendly and accommodating in every way, including booking local day trip tours, helping us get... more

It started out great with great communication via email on confirmation and above board assistance booking our airline flight into Laos - totally impressed and looking forward to our arrival. With no worries as we had paid for in full airport and... more

Our month long trip to Indochina was highlighted by a week long stay in Luang Prabang at the Symoungkoun Guesthouse. The location was excellent, one street up from the Nam Khan river and a three minute walk to all the shopping and restaurants on the main street in the old quarter. The resident "student" monks living at Wat Sop directly... more

The staff are all friendly and approachable to ask any queries. Its uniquely designed, very traditional yet modern and provides a very local feel with quality service. And its well within budget for travellers such... more
