Number one on my list of importance in the guest house is the Wi-Fi. And the Wi-Fi at this guest house is super.
The staff is friendly and very helpful.
The rooms are spacious and freshly painted. The building might be a little older, but it is kept in wonderful condition. I love this guest house. Furthermore it is so close to the markets.

Quiet guesthouse only two minutes walk to many riverside restaurants and five minutes walk to the night market. Room was comfortable and cleaned daily. Staff wasn't overly friendly but they were always very helpful with our questions and making bookings. We found some of their tour/transport services advertised to be quite overpriced while others were right on so just make sure you look around at one or two other places before booking anything.

Try to be polite but many things to be repaired

They fill up water and towers every day, but many things need to be repair. especially air condition was only half worked so I had to turn on the ceiling fan, some part oak decorations are fall apart. For this part they cannot fix but I wished balcony for each room they offer.

They charge for the city map

It was the first time we had to pay for a map. The staff did not speak English and was kind of rude.

Location, location, location

Great Guesthouse in a good location in the old quarter, close to the river, night market and other 'must do' places in Luang Prabang.
There was an initial mix up with our room, but once this was sorted out, all was fine.
The young men working the reception desk were friendly, knowledgeable and had good English skills. They were happy to help out at all times.

Ripped off and run out of town

The room itself was fine, but I was disappointed that the hotel was helping taxi drivers to scam tourists. Instead of charging by the person or by the carload, they charge by the stop. That means I had to pay full fare for the cab--50,000--and so did the people I shared the taxi with, who paid 80,000 for four people. They were only staying a block away from me, so the taxi driver did a big circle--four right turns in a row--and then stopped at the same street where he stopped when he dropped off the other passengers. I tried to get help at the hotel but the staff totally backed up the taxi driver and told me that is the way things are in Laos. Actually, it was my third visit and I had never run into this before. What staff needs to understand is that in my culture this sort of thing is extremely disrespectful and insulting. Much, much worse than wearing shoes inside. The same thing happened with the taxi on the way back--about $20 US to go four kilometres in a beat up tuk tuk. As well, one staff member was very rude to me. I noticed that there were many free seats on the plane on the way back. If people want to fill those seats, they may want to start treating paying customers with a little more class and respect. In general, prices are double those in Thailand. Sometimes this is justified because most things have to be imported, but sometimes it is not.

Disappointing Stay

I stayed there for a while on my visit. They messed up reservations for a night and had to put me up in another hotel for a night (which, as a traveler, was exhausting and frustrating). The WiFi was finicky most of the time, and one day I had to work a full day in the hotel the internet was out completely and I had to rent a room at another hotel for the day to do my job. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the rooms were decent and situated well in the city, but I was so frustrated with the administrative problems that I would rethink staying there again.

Value for money

I had an enjoyable stay in the guesthouse.
- they have better tour rates vs others ( even bike rental at 10k Kip vs others at 15k kip )
- the room was just right, there was free water and they changed the towels every day
- the bathroom may seem old but it serves its purpose, hot water was ok
- the location is really good, I just walk to the corner to watch the morning alms-giving

Quiet, but close to everything.

Perfect position for the night market / main road area, but just the right distance away to be quiet and still close to the Mekong and a good selection of eateries. All the tourist places just a short walk away.
All tours etc booked by hotel went perfectly.

Short stay

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for just one night. We would of stayed longer if the hotel wasn't fully booked. Obviously it's a popular choice this time of year. The staff didn't seem very switched on but we didnt have a much time with them. Overall the room was nice and clean with ok wifi and the location was great.

guesthouse recommandable

Hôtel très bien placé, au coeur de la ville mais dans une ruelle calme. Accueil plus ou moins sympathique selon les jours... Peu d'informations intéressantes à attendre du staff.
Chambre très propre, avec serviettes de toilette et gel de douche à disposition + eau chaude + climatisation (un peu bruyante) et ventilateur. Nous étions seuls à l'étage et n'avons pas souffert de la mauvaise insonorisation... Literie confortable. 2 bouteilles d'eau offerte par jour.
Terrasse agréable, avec possibilité d'y prendre les repas.

多くを求めなければ

①夜市の西の端から徒歩7〜8分、同じような路地が多く、夜は迷った。
②部屋は木が基調で冷蔵庫ありOK。
③シャワーはおもちゃみたいで、お湯がぬるく、しかもちょろちょろとしか出ないので、シャンプーの泡が落ちずに苦労した。髪の長い人は果たして洗えるのか疑問。
④スタッフは登記など各自の任務をおえると、私達を気にするよりも自分たちの趣味に講じる(笑)。ローカル情報などを聞いても適当に答え、また趣味に戻り…金を払って友達の家に泊っている感じ(涙)。愛想もなくサービスにはほど遠い。フレンドリーを求める人は多の宿を。
⑤レンタルチャリはがブレーキが甘く、すぐチェーンも外れ、自分でメンテできないとまずいやつが多い。要注意。
⑥街中にたくさん宿がある。他の宿をいろいろと聞いてみたが安くて雰囲気のいいフレンドリーな宿はたくさんあった。
⑦日没後、路地は全体的に街灯が少なく、女性には不向きかも。
⑧孤独や放置されるのが好きな人向け。私は次は無理。

Hôtel basique mais bien situé.

Hôtel avec confort de base. La situation de l'hôtel est excellente car elle est à 2 pas de l'animation mais assez en retrait pour être tranquille. Le personnel est assez honnête pour vous indiquer où louer un bon vélo de montagne plutôt que de vous louer celui en moins bon état de l'hôtel. Bon choix pour le prix.

평타이상! 가격대비 매우만족스러움

위치도 조마베이커리 부근 골목이라 야시장이나 다른 관광지와 가깝고 투어신청하기도 쉽고, 반대쪽으로 걸어가면 바로 강가라 이쁘고, 카운터도 친절하셔서 짐도 다 맡아주시고, 방도 크고 넓고 대체적으로 좋았습니다.
다만 조식이 없어서 조금 아쉬웠고, 선반같은데에 모래가 그대로 있었던거 빼곤 청결도는 크게 나쁘지 않았으나, 개미가 많아서 조금 불편했습니다. 음식같은걸 들고 들어가지않는한은 크게 문제될 정도는 아닙니다.
