“A touch of Luang Prabang”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

The property where the hotel is located belonged to the last royalty of Laos and is full of charm and separated into several buildings. The reception is extremely gentle and warm and when you get in the room you can feel a pleasant lemon scent and also a soft background music playing in iPod dock. It's very cool. The rooms... More

“Ayu Spa and Restaurant”

Reviewed 23 May 2013

I haven't been staying here but have used the Spa twice in two days. The service is outstanding and more professional than a lot of the other more shady massages places in town. They had a 20% discount on when I went, everyone likes a discount!, which was helpful as the treatments aren't cheap, not exactly expense but not cheap.... More

“Great Hotel, Not Centrally Located”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

I feel bad not giving this place five stars. The staff is exemplary. The location along the Mekong and behind Wat Xiengthong is beautiful. They serve and excellent breakfast. The only drawback is its a five minute walk to the center of town. That might not sound like much, but I was there during the hot season and those few... More

“If it's good enoughfor royalty then it's good enough for me.”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

I stayed in this hotel for two nights in March and also stayed two nights in Satri House. ( I like to stay in two different hotels in one place as I feel that it gives a different perspective to any city.) I have to say that while Satri was nice enough I really wish I stayed my four nights... More

“Great Ambience and Service”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Great hotel with lovely ambience and fantastic location - and our room was just lovely. It is just beyond the bustle of the night market and city centre but within easy walking distance. Also right next to the Xienthong temple - the most beautiful of the Luang Prabang temples. To top it all, the monks pass by right in front... More

“Three nights in Luang Prabang”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

This is an excellent hotel in a prime location; the terrace dining facility is especially wonderful with views of the Mekong - and little circulating trafic; and what there is is quiet. It is such a shame though that the hotel does not have a swimming pool (due to its ex-royal palace grounds). The accommodation we had - a suite... More
