“Stay in town instead”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is a very average hotel. It had been booked for us and pre-paid, otherwise we would have moved to a guest house in town. The public interior areas of the hotel, particularly the open courtyard, are promising, but unfortunately the rooms do not live up to the promise. Room was drab and a bit shabby (mould in bathroom, dirty marks on the paint), which was made worse by the curtains being fixed so that they could not be opened fully to let natural light in. Very few guests, staff seemed surprised to see us. On the plus side it is easy to get a tuk tuk into town from outside the hotel, and the wifi worked well.

“Excellent hotel and staff but a bit far from town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel was great. Love the classic open floor plan with lots of wood and public places. Staff was great. Rooms were nice size and comfortable. Internet service (wireless or otherwise) was terrible which made it hard to get work done.

Location was great for sleeping but far away from town which made a walk into town on a warm day a long one. Tuk-Tuks were always available and inexpensive.

Resturant was more than sufficient. Food was fresh and well priced.

Nice place if you want to be away from the city center and crowds at night.

“It grows on you”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A very average looking hotel with an average restaurant serving brekky. The lobby doesn't really exude a feeling of warmth, which was what we really wanted after a cold morning exploring Luang Prabang. The staff are nice but quiet. Most of the hotel (e.g. corridors) is outside so it can get really cold. Our room decor was not inspiring either - a drabby blue and grey and brown. It also took a while to heat our water for bathing - around 10 mins of leaving the tap on. Takes 15 mins to walk to main street.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it really grows on you because it becomes so familiar. As it is so modest, it feels like home and at the end of a long day, there's nothing more than driving up to the lobby, greeting the staff, and hopping up to the room for a shower and good night sleep in the beds. The beds are incredible and I had the best nights of sleep there - helped me get over my flu. There's also free wifi & wide range of channels on TV. Good housekeeping too - room was spotless when we returned each day.

We had a buffet dinner on NYE at the restaurant. Although a very quiet dinner (we were the only guests there), staff were very nice. They had their own little staff party afterwards, which was sweet.

Although a nice, humble hotel, I'd recommend staying closer to the main street if you aren't already on a tour with a personal driver.

“Three nights in Luang Prabang”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2010
3
people found this review helpful

I did not have a lot of time in Laos so I booked the hotel based on what I could read on the internet. Manoluck Hotel sounded good and it was pretty much what I've expected. The room was small but tidy and nice, the shower worked and it had a thermos of hot water for coffee. There is a very nice, very hidden, temple close by where I spent a lot of time and the monks not minding me taking pictures as well. If you are not looking for a fancy pants hotel but not for a backpacker's either, Manoluck might just be the place for you.

“VERY CLEAN & COMFY WITH GREAT STAFF”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

person found this review helpful

I loved this hotel - good breakfasts, very comfortable, clean rooms, powerful showers and lovely staff! Only slight downside for tourists is its distance from town centre but a tuk tuk is 10,000 kip - 80 GB pence.

There is an excellent restaurant [better than many in the tourist areas] a few doors down on the same side and a good laundry also a few doors away - both very well priced.
