The 10 best Lodges in Luang Prabang, Laos

May 6, 2023 Elouise Mccaul

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the former capital of Laos, and you'll see everything from golden-roofed temples to vestiges of colonial French architecture here. Buddhist monasteries abound in Luang Prabang, and early every morning, monks process through the streets collecting alms (their food for the day). If you want to watch or participate, though, ask your hotel for a brief etiquette lesson first—you have to distribute the food in a specific manner.

Wonderful stay

This is a unique spot just outside Luang Prabang. Very clean, private rooms, and eco-friendly. Lovely herbal sauna and pool, a fire to gather around at night and great food. Very happy with our relaxed stay and could return to take advantage of the many hikes available.

Value for Money

Reviewed By Vikas G

Positive 1.) Location, close to Night Market, Mekong River side, Post Office, located at nice, quite green alleys. 2.) Cooperative staff 3.) Daily replenish 2 water bottles 4.) Tea kettle with sugar, coffee, tea etc. 5.) Price very competitive 6.) Breakfast value for money, Fruits, Toasts, choice of eggs, Jam, coffee or Juice etc. Negatives 1.) Linen (specially bedsheets, pillow cover and duvet) doesn't feel fresh or nicely washed. 2.) Reception staff not able to help much arranging activities or providing options, may be english speaking capacity is the hurdle. 3.) Aircon started dropping water at middle of night, but not able to arrange service next day also. 4.) Look and feel inside the room not very appealing. Overall At this price, its ok

Nice little guest house

Reviewed By James E

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a pleasant stay. We had a room with two beds, so the room was more spacious compared to rooms with just one bed. The staff were friendly and even though we did need our room cleaned daily, they still gave us water and toilet paper when needed. There is no breakfast but there is a coffee/tea station upstairs. I was up there every day preparing my morning drinks. It was a nice touch. It is basically what sold me on the guesthouse while shopping online. We used the upstairs balcony every day for coffee in the morning and beers in the evening. The location was great. I would highly recommend this area. Super convenient to everything. There are multiple money exchanges, a convenience store, a few restaurants, and a few western cafes within a 0-2 minute walk. Night market is less than a 2 minute walk. Need a taxi? 10 second walk.

Experience Laotian Spa Expertise

Reviewed By mummblingme

An unassuming bungalow of teak wood reveals a menu of more than a dozen varied traditional massage services. My Laos massage ($20 including tip) was relaxing as well as therapeutic, (with little jet lag after this hour of massage), expertly given by one of the staff. Little English is no problem--just point to what you want, then pay upon leaving. Easy.

Really nice staff

Reviewed By estelmandri

This is a Chinese style hotel a bit out of the city center but very convenient if you plan to rent a motorbike. Rooms are spacious, with air-con and wifi. Beds are huge and hard, Chinese style. Breakfast is simple but there’s both western and asian options, fresh fruit, coffee, hot chocolate and tea. The staff are very nice, sweet and helpful.
