A really nice place to stay! Very attentive service, nice rooms and a peaceful atmosphere with a relaxing pool - great combination
A very charming 40 room hotel in Luang Prabang. It is a 15mn walk from the main touristic attractions. Angsana spa ( best massage in town ) is next door. Staff is very nice. There is a nice swimming pool. They have a lot of bicycles you can borrow. The breakfast is very good with a choice of international and local dishes. French owners and french speaking staff at reception - in case you need. Restaurant is not bad either. Maison Dalabua is a very fine and well run hotel.
Great hotel in LP. Amazing view of lotus pond and great hospitality
Nice hotel scenery and setting. UNESCO recognized lotus ponds. Friendly staff and spacious rooms. Bathrooms becoming a bit worn out but satisfactory. Breakfast delicious and again, nice setting from where to have meals.
Finally - a hotel that is as good as it says it is. This is a delightful hotel where most rooms, especially on the upper floor, have great views over water (lotus ponds or a swimming pool). The staff are very accommodating and speak OK English.
The rooms are very clean, good quality, tastefully decorated, and staff do a turndown service in the evening. The food is a mix of Laos and French influence, both of which are of very good quality.
It is possible to hire a motorbike from reception for US$20. Airport transfers are US$7. The hotel is located only a short walk 5-7 min stroll) into town.
We really enjoyed our stay. A definite recommend.
Hope this helps :-)
Lots to write about, overall a nice place to stay.will break down review:
Things we loved;
1. The restaurant and bar area, surrounded by a big pond, lots of greenery is just so beautiful. I don't think you would find much better.
2. The staff are as you can imagine very friendly and helpful. They organised a driver to take us to and back from the Khung Si waterfall, which is a 45 minutes drive each way and wait for us for 3 hours.
3. It's in an ideal location, just 10 mins walk from the hustle and bustle of the main streets, so it's quiet but not too far away
4. It's not over priced. We had a 40 minutes massage for $20. While it wasn't the best massage in the world, can't complain much for that price
5. Free bicycle's to use at your leisure, which I recommend for at least 1 day
Things that can be improved;
1. The restaurant and hotel are not connected money wise. Meaning if you eat dinner or have drinks there (outside of complimentary breakfast) then you cannot put on your room
2. The room is nice, although needs a few things changing. There is a big window in the bathroom that allows you to see the bed and whole room. It only has a translucent blind, meaning if you look, you can see the person on the toilet fairly well
3. There is no master switch for the lights and the ones next to your bed are not very close, making going to bed a bit annoying
4. Breakfast is 'ok'. Only option for cereal is cornflakes. Only eggs are creamed scrambled. Lots of local breakfast options which is great for the adventurous. But would like a bit more western breakfast options for those less inclined to eat rice/noodles/curry for breakfast
5. No snack options at the pool. Even for drinks you have to walk to the bar (not next to it) and order drinks to come back to the pool
6. The WiFi is very very erratic no matter where you are in the hotel or room
Overall these are minor-ish issues, but ones that would bump it up in my rating. Would happily recommend and no major issues
beautiful garden. Organic foods. 10 minutes walk from the centre
The place le WONDERUL it is a paradise on darty. Great service with english and french speaking staff. Rooms are very clean, tidy, big with awesomely confortable beds. Bathrooms are chic. Highly récompenses. Just beware or overbookings
Gorgeous hotel in a quieter part of town. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Love that we could borrow bicycles to cycle to town (10mins walk) and there's always tuktuks available to hail (as alternative). Our room was spacious and we had a lovely view of a lotus filled pond.
The only complaints are that 1) they do not provide bedroom slippers (strangely); 2) turn-down services was only offered on the first night (we stayed 3 nights); and 3) the air conditioning was erratic no matter what mode we tried.
All said, we really enjoyed our stay.
Amazing setting. Very pretty. Lilley ponds everwhere that are protected. Staff were very helpful and nice. The breakfast was included but it was rubbish. Would def recommend
Great experience in this charming hotel constructed in the middle of ponds. Staff very nice and helpful.
Rooms are of very inconsistent quality. A bit out of the main town. Ran into a few problems with the staff that you wouldn't expect of a hotel at this price point.
Beautful hotel!
Loved this place. Clean room, professional and friendly staff and very enjoyable pool space. Of the three places we stayed at in Luang Prabang it was definitely the best!
The restaurant is very yummy dishes and the presentation is high-end too.
Very comfortable hotel in Luang Prabang with very friendly and helpful staff.
When I stayed the wifi was only available in the common areas, though.
Very nice hotel. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Comfortable rooms. About a 20 minute walk from the city center. One of the better hotels I've stayed at.
Beautiful hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing gardens. Central location.
I think I should state that I don't think our stay was typical for this place. That said, we were incredibly disappointed. The staff are wonderful, very kind and helpful, the place is GORGEOUS, the food and drinks we had were great.
But my husband and I stayed for Valentines and a bit into the afternoon music started to play from next door that was so loud it shook the windows and didn't stop until 10:30 PM. We asked the staff about it and they apologized and said they couldn't do anything about it. But trying to relax was nearly I possible with the noise so my husband and I fled our room for a cafe and some quiet. We also found a dirty pair of pants left in the room from someone else and gave them to the front desk, perplexed.
For how much you pay I would recommend somewhere else, especially if it's a holiday, as it seems that's when next door celebrates. Oh and the beds are hard as rocks. Oh well. Again, other aspects of the hotel are wonderful, but we were more than happy to leave.
