    The only thing I didn’t like was that there was no fly screen in the windows so when it cooled down, I couldn’t open the windows for fresh air because of mosquitoes. But the combination of aircon and / or fan was sufficient.

    Little friendly hostel makes a very good first impression. I was greeted with a smiling face and enthusiastic Mr Lee. He provided all the information needed quickly and efficiently. The room is simply appointed but has everything listed including TV, fridge, air-conditioning, fan, PowerPoint next to the bed, a hairdryer and ensuite bathroom. The pool is absolutely beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious a la cart (not buffet). There are only a few rooms so it is quiet and feels boutique for a budget price. Luang Prabang is a gorgeous city with relatively wide tree lined streets and attractive architecture. The location is a short walk to the main attractions. If you are taking a tour they will pick you up so that is ok.

    Bathroom had a moldy smell. One lounge chair next to the pool was broken. The windows don't have screens so may let bugs in if opened.

    Breakfast was fantastic, cooked to order (not buffet style) with fresh juice! Pool area is nice. The staff were incredibly friendly. We were able to rent a scooter through the hotel, very hassle free process!

    Wish they had healthier or vegetarian options on the breakfast menu. Smoothies and juices had lots of sugar

    Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Loved having access to the pool. Location was good and walking distance to many restaurants and supermarket

    i liked being a bit away from the touristy region. a short walk to the night market was fine... many other hotels & guest houses were right in the middle of endless parades of tourists...

    There is only one trash can in the room and bathroom, but it's not a big issue, have one more would be better

    I highly recommend this place. The owner is very friendly and can help you a lot, such as rent motorbike , call minivan, buy a cruise ticket, etc. He will call to help you communicate. The room and the yard are very clean, and the swimming pool is well maintained, suitable for adults and children. The point is that the location is also very good, and it is very quiet to sleep at night. You can see Tak Bat on the road at the door without go to the crowded tourist area. The nearby supermarkets, ATMs, and pharmacies can be reached by foot. Motorbikes are a must in Luang Prabang, so it is also convenient to go to other places.

    Room: No Glass in the window - So couldnt have window open at all due to the Mozzies and NO natural lighting. Our room was on the ground floor so your milage may vary with the top floor rooms No light switch near bed Bathroom was quite dated, and the drain for the shower would often smell so keep the door closed. Pool: Did not look the cleanest, but seen others swim and they suvived so probs fine

    Staff: Amazing and friendly Staff DO sleep in the Hallway, this does not inhibit you leaving or entering early/late but just dont be supprised Room: No Noise from other guests or surrounding place AC was good - But in some rooms, if left on over night would be noisey Water Pressure was good and hot Bed was comfy but firm Pool: Pool was quite big Plenty of space to chill around the pool with friends Backed onto breakfast area Outdoor space: Plenty enough tables to work and chill in the mornings Good enough breakfast fresh drip coffee Fresh chilled beer in the fridge for very reasonable prices Location: Immediately next to - Scooter Workshop - Local Housing Not to far from town 5-10 min walk, plenty of local shops near by (Reccomend Rabitory Cafe for a quick coffee) Facilities: Pool Beer fridge Laundry Service (would recommend) Communal toilet and washroom by the pool

    The bathroom was very poorly cleaned. The walls and floor need a good scrubbing. Get in those corners!

    Very friendly staff and great service. Good quieter location than more central guesthouses, yet very near the centre/night market. Good breakfast and lovely pool which unfortunately we couldn't use as the weather was too cold.

    Windows don't have glass panes, just wooden shutters. That didn't bother me, as I put up my own moskito net. Fresh fruit with breakfast would have been nice.

    Super friendly staff - in particular Julien, the French manager, who does everything to make you feel like at home, and is a great source of interesting information about LPB and Laos in general. The room was comfortable and clean, so was the bathroom. After 4 weeks in LPB, I moved here because of the swimming pool, to have a relaxing break on hot days. The pool is really good, not big, but very clean and well maintained, with umbrellas providing shade. The perfect spot to recharge your batteries in between activities in town. Good coffee for breakfast - the usual bread, butter, jam and eggs.
