Great river view, beautiful terraces for breakfast. Clean room with fancy enclosed shower with multiple jets. but shower leaked and flooded the bathroom, bathroom floor drain is not in lowest spot, so that was awkward. Otherwise very nice.

Fantastic family owned villa with restaurant views over the Nam Khan. Delicious breakfast included, which was almost as good a surprise as the space age shower with massage! There's heaps of accommodation closer to the action, but I found this a perfect oasis in a friendly and safe part of Luang Prabang. Value for money when you want to treat yourself to something really comfortable without breaking the budget.

Great hotel in a quiet part of town overlooking the river. Close to the night market and lovely garden restaurants. The breakfast is good and served outside right by the river. The owner is fantastic - he picked us up after we got lost trying to find the hotel and told us lots about his life and family and Vietnam's history. He also runs a project to encourage education and schooling in the surrounding area. Really enjoyed staying there, thank you very much!

The location is great as you can watch the monks passing in the morning from the end of the road, collecting alms. The view of the river is lovely. The owner is very friendly, and conversed with us, explaining many things about Laos. Breakfast was fine.

Very nice guesthouse close to the night market in Luang Prabang - 10 mins walk. The staff are helpful and friendly, the breakfast is great and the rooms were clean and very nice. Perfect place to stay in Luang Prabang but to be avoided if you have a tight budget - there are much cheaper options available when you arrive in the town.

Very nice and clean guest house. There are tons of guesthouses in the area, but we wanted to book online to have a place to go upon arrival. Owner is super nice and very helpful and a good person. Breakfast was good (eggs, omelet, toast, tea, etc). We got a river view which was a nice touch. Wifi worked in lobby area, not in room. Laos does not have good general internet except for internet cafes.

Giant rooms, with a staff that makes you feel like a king. Best banana pancakes around in the morning for free with views of the Khan. Perfect location and easy-to-book tours. Highly recommended!
