Beautiful view; we chose a Riverview room. Coffee service setup was provided just outside our room and the breakfast buffet was great in both quality and selections. Very peaceful, and a short walk from multiple dining options. Staff was very attentive and helpful.

Great location and friendly staff! The rooms had nice views, but a few too many bugs for me. I know sometimes hard to control in Laos, but my first room had tons of ants. They moved me to another room which ended up having even more ants, which they sprayed, and it partially helped. There were also a couple geckos living in the room as well. I think the patio doors just need some better sealing!

Great view and breakfast but poor staff service
Room was good and loved the breakfast, especially with the great view on the river. Wifi non existent in the room. It loose 2 stars because of the staff. More precisely the evening staff. They were not helpful in any way. Once we want to book a tour to the falls but since we have a cooking class after at 4pm, we ask if it is ok timing wise. We were the day before. The guy tells us yes and that we can book next morning. Then we come the next morning the lady said we should have booked the day before. Luckily they had space so we managed to get a spot. We ask again about the cooking class. She said it’s ok. But then once we reach the falls the driver said to come back at 3:30pm, by the time we reached it was almost too late for our cooking class. Second time we wanted to book a shuttle to the train station. The guy from the evening said ok then, when we come the next morning same thing! The lady tells us we did not book so we need to take a tuktuk on the spot. The evening staff needs to be trained because right now it’s bad.

It's within walking distance of the main streets and has an enormous amount of dining options. The room was spotless with a fantastic view of the river through a wall-sized window—plenty of light with comfortable beds. But the service and attention were the best features!

One of the room had molds smelling very strong, the owner said if she changes the room, I have to pay more. I told her, the room is smelly very bad, not good for health. If she continued having me pay more I will cancel all 3 rooms I booked; then she changed the room. I had one big room with 2 king beds, but smelling a bit molds. Another room with 2 twin beds, the beds have bedbugs bitten my husband and my son’s ankles.

Had to cancel a week before I was to arrive. Hotel wouldn’t communicate at all. Not with me. Not with Expedia. Nobody. I’m aware of the cancellation policy but they refused to talk to anyone. No answer when called, emailed or messaged. Just took the money and ran. Disgusting. Piss off.

Good Place to Stay in Luang Prabang
Great location and this particular room #105 had a nice view of the river and mountains. Friendly staff, adequate breakfast, walking distance or a short tuk-tuk ride to everything in town. The property is a little bit dated cosmetically speaking and the Wi-Fi crashed frequently. Comfortable bed, but the pillows were much too thick.

Lovely hotel with a good river view breakfast and best showers in Asia)). While another 200-300$ hotels in town have got just a very few guests in Feb 2020, this place is quite busy on a good way. Recommended.
