Lovely owner who was verry helpful! Good breakfast! Nice looking rooms - too bad it smelled like mold and the air in the room was damp even with fan on. It was a ok stay for one night. Mold smelling hotels/ hostels is quite common in Laos.

It is some time ( not often ) the smell from the public canalization but it is far away from us. The wind could take it around. It is sorry about this. Better close the door and window for that time it will take only a few our. when the guest have some case like that please tell us we will check as soon as we now. We wish all our guests have a nice stay with us.

Great breakfast (try the banana pancakes!). Clean, awesome shower, etc. Merry is also very helpful if you want to take some excursions out of town.

Had a lovely stay here, however, by Laos standards it is very expensive. No complaints about the accommodation itself, however as backpackers we decided to move to a place one-fifth of the price for the remainder of our stay in Luang Prabang, where we were ultimately just as happy. Would definitely recommend this to those without such a strict budget, who are happy to pay the extra dollars.

I really enjoyed my stay in this guest House.Amazing location.Luang Prebang is a great city and not too big and the guest house is just 10 mins walk from the city centre.I loved the breakfast with the yammi pancake and the tasty fruit. .The room was very comfortable and clean.I would reccomend this place for the ones who enjoy relax without seeking for luxory.Great Value for money.

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.
