“A good 3 star hotel, clean and quiet.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

For a 3 star hotel it was perfect. We didnt book any accommodation before we arrived in Luang Prabang and we just kind of stubbled across this place and we couldnt have been happier. The Hotel Manager welcomed us in and sorted out a room for us (even though they were also dealing with a bus load of people who had just arrived).

Room: Our room was clean and a decent size with a balcony which had chairs on it. The bed was massive and very comfortable. The room also had a mini bar which had softdrinks and beer lao. Our air conditioning unit was rather noisy but we didnt have any trouble sleeping with it on. The shower was always hot.

Food: There was a restaurant/bar at the hotel but we only used it for breakfast which was included in our room price. The breakfast was very tasty however it didnt quite fill us up (we do like to eat lots for breakfast on holiday as we often skip lunch). When we did ask for extra bread or another piece of bacon they were more than happy to get it for us. I remember the coffee was really good aswell.

Pool: We only used the pool once as we went swimming at the waterfalls most days. All I remember is the pool was very cold.

Location: this hotel is just out of the main drag of Luang Prabang but was fine for us. We walked to the markets/bars/restaurants and it took us about 10mins. If we were coming back late at night a tuk tuk from the night markets cost us about US$2.
In the morning when we would head out for the day it was sometimes hard to find a tuk tuk as they are not always waiting outside. This was not too much of a problem as we would ask reception to call us one or we would wait around till one drove past.

This was a good hotel and we had no problems staying here. I would recommend this to people who want abit more than a hostel/house but who dont want to pay the price of a 4-5 star hotel. Also people who like peace and quiet and who dont want the main street noise.

“Great pleasant stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

Muang Luang Hotel has a very special architectural style that is quite large and fad, which belies its very quiet and homey atmosphere. The hotel rooms are high quality and the service is very super friendly and efficient. though it is not in the 'center' of Luang Prabang for tourist area, it is a pleasant walk away, and the local neighborhood is still very interesting.

I would stay here again. Cons - The pool area is a bit suburban rather than resort like, it is a nice place to stay.

“Faded Glory”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2010

A lovely old Colonial style building, set in pleasant gardens with a good sized swimming pool. The rooms were disappointing, beds were comfortable, and all was clean,but room and bathroom desperatly need refurbishing. Some rooms have verandas or balconies, ours had a view of a wall, and a footpath ran right outside the window, so had to keep curtains closed. Mini bar, hairdrier and air con were all there, but no kettle. Breakfast was fine, a good selection of fruit, juices, eggs sausages, bacon etc. Evening meal was disappointing.
Safe boxes are available on reception, but only the manager has acceess, but not often there. Most staff had some English and tried hard to be helpful, suggesting a time for access, but often didn't happen.
On the plus side the hotel is very quite, and an easy walk to the night market and other attractions, it was ok for what we needed.
Good massages can be arranged through reception.

Stayed March 2010

“Very very average”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010

We stayed here and depsite it being the most expesnive on our travels it certainly was not the best.

The rooms were okay and the hotel in general looked like it hadn't been updated for about 20 years.

A major gripe was the lack of hot water, half of the time we had none and the other half had to wait 10 minutes for it to hear up. All very frustrating.

On the plus side the ppol and garden area where nice and very relaxing but not enough to sway it in my book.

“Peaceful & Quiet w/a nice pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2010

Our room just adequate but the restaurant and pool area very nice. Short walking distance from the Night Market and other shops, restaurants or elephant adventures to book.
