Luang Prabang hotels near Royal Palace Museum

Pros: Breakfast was amazing, staff very kind !! The place is beautiful and peaceful

Cons: There was a shooting of a movie during the weekend, we couldn’t use the main pool.

Pros: Staff, location, ambiance and decor.

Cons: Same breakfast every day, poor attention to detail and more reactive than proactive approach.

Pros: Satri House is exceptional. Human nature is to find fault but they are faultless. The staff were like family and nothing was too much trouble. The army of staff worked from sunrise to sunset to make everything immaculate. It s v close to the centre and free bikes made it a quick trip or 10 mins walk. 2 pools! Fancy being on your own then go to the second pool. Didn’t try the spa (bit steep for my budget) but looked amazing. I have nothing to gain in this review but it’s a superb hotel. Can’t rate it highly enough. I m planning my trip back to L P on the back of my stay at the hotel. I hope it’s not discovered by the multitudes before I return! It’s honestly out of this world.

Pros: Stunning French colonial complex, tastefully decorated with great staff and delicious food. Located in a quiet bit of Luangprabang with an easy walk into the centre. Highly recommend!

Cons: I'd be clutching at straws but the lock on our door was a bit stiff and hard to work.

Pros: Staff was incredibly kind and nice. I could feel how much they love their hotel and how sincerely welcome guest with their heart whenever I talked with them. They even prepared a souvenir when we checked out. Room was exactly the same as the pictures and hotel was very antique but cozy. Loved the overall interior.

Cons: not at all.

Pros: Dailek and Banthi were wonderful and very helpful. They made the stay feel like we were not outsiders. Additionally, the pool is gorgeous and the afternoon snacks were delicious.

Cons: There was an issue with the A/C in our first room and it took a while to figure out it was broken which was poorly communicated. Though it happens that A/C breaks down, I was fairly disappointed that a high end hotel like this one they did not change us to a better room or offer some complementaries as a result; we ended up getting a room that was not as nice (and they kindly offered to let us sleep in one and move to another the following night but it was all a tad too complicated for a short stay). That said, this is in the details and a lovely hotel overall! The only other thing is that laundry is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE and you can get it done next door to close to nothing with lovely locals.

Pros: Building style and resort layout including room decor and size plus lovely gardens made Satri House a special place to stay

Pros: It’s a beautiful building and grounds, very nicely decorated. Swimming pool good size and clean Breakfast was terrific Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed very comfortable, A/C worked well. It was in quiet neighborhood a short walk to center of town.

Cons: Would have been nice to have an exercise room. The chair in the room small and not very comfortable,

Pros: This was a lovely, lovely place to stay. Super, friendly staff. Lovely ambience at breakfast.

Cons: We only spent four days there.

Pros: Enjoyable, quiet retreat with beautiful gardens and pools. Excellent service by the staff, who were so helpful even after I checked out of the hotel (for example, they let me use showers when I came to pick up my luggage after a day of elephant brushing). Delicious food and great rooms with their own balconies or private patios. The two swimming pools, though small, were well-maintained and great for wiling away the hours reading a book. There are lots of seating areas for just quiet relaxation. Has very special touches: each day they give you a little Laos treat in your room, like rice desserts and coconut pancakes. You're guaranteed a safe neighborhood too: it's right across from the local version of a police station.

Cons: I think my only complaint would be the rather dim rooms. I stayed in a lower-floor deluxe room and the sunshine wasn't getting in too much so I had to use the lamps quite a bit. If you want to be close to the night markets or temples, it's a bit of a walk away, but manageable.

Pros: Beautiful property with balconies overlooking the Mekong River. The staff was so kind and attentive. The pool/spa is a short walk away from the hotel and it is a beautiful pool to spend the afternoon by. Breakfast at the Riverview restaurant is delightful.

Pros: Location Nice boutique hotel Staff View

Cons: Be aware that this hotel is not in an area but includes some separate properties (ie: swimming pool is quite far from the reception, some rooms can be away ~100-200-300 m from the reception and restaurant, you have to go across the road to reach the restaurant...) so it could cause some inconvenience

Pros: Loved the hotel!! The rooms where lovely and the beds were the best we slept in in Laos!! Location was fantastic!

Pros: The facilities are lovely and I really want to give this hotel an excellent rating. BUT - see below. The rooms are well decorated and water/tea/coffee provided. All the buildings are done in the style to comply with UNESCO standards. One night there was wine in the garden and it was lovely.

Cons: But I did NOT have hot water. I told the staff and they said it was fixed but it was not. Upon checking out I informed them again and he really didn't seem to care and only offered a half-hearted "sorry". This hotel was not cheap and I can't give higher marks. Also, the internet didn't work well in my room.

Pros: The agreeability of the staff.

Cons: The breakfast could have had more choice.

Pros: Great location by the Mekong.

Pros: Such a lot of thought has gone into creating this special hotel. The staff were superb - warm and friendly. Delightful location. New spa was excellent

Cons: We can’t think of anything negative to say

Pros: Amazing pearl in the beautiful city of Luang Prabang! Mr. Urban and his lovely team created a wonderful atmosphere and special place to relax and enjoy life! The little restaurant where the breakfast is served gives a stunning view on the Mekong. The food is great and at night time you‘ll enjoy your dinner in the light of little lanterns. The rooms are great and the team is willing to make everything possible!

Pros: The design was beautiful

Cons: The pool was over the river, over a horribly rickety bridge which you had to pay 10k kip to cross.

Pros: Amazing location on the river. Rooms are nice with outside space not all have river views but they are lovely as is the location of the hotel. The breakfasts are terrific and the seating is on the river with lovely views. Staff was helpful and very friendly.

Pros: The architecture, a mix of French colonial, situated in spacious, well designed gardens makes for a nice place to come home to each day. But the staff make the place - nothing is too much trouble. They are attentive, kind, warm people that embody the beautiful Laos culture. They anticipated your needs and already had it solved before you knew you needed something. They were also on hand to welcome you back after a day out. The pool makes a delightful oasis to retreat to. The detailed finishes in the suites are of a high quality. Bedding was lovely and we had a great night sleep every night. I could go on but you get the idea ;)

Pros: My wife and I stayed at this property for a quick get away, it was by far the best hotel experience we have ever had. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. The General Manager came to chat with the guest each morning providing a personal and warm feeling. The room was beautiful French colonial design with a balcony that opened up to the pristine hotel grounds that was covered in the most beautiful trees and gardens. The room was clean and bed was super comfortable. The food is beyond words, the chef at the restaurant has the perfect touch, combining French and Laos influences into some of the best dishes we have ever had in Asia (we have been living in Asia for 3 years). The bar is also wonderful emanating old French vibes, the pool is tranquil and calm -- with cocktails and food poolside which are to die for! We cannot recommend this property enough.

Cons: Not one single thing!

Pros: Excellent ambiance, wonderful & helpful staff, great breakfast.

Cons: They hide behind booking.com to justify that they overcharge us. Without even trying to help finding a solution. Not very service oriented for a 5 stars property.

Pros: One of the nicest hotels we have stayed in ever. Fantastic tropical and authentic atmosphere, very professional and nice staff, big and very stylish and cozy rooms. The kitchen is likewise outstanding. Pool area superior. The Hotel is like a warm family home where we wanted to stay longer! ... and now top of the list of hotels we want to re-visit.

Cons: Not much to complain about. This is truly a great small luxury hotel!

Pros: Absolute phenomenal experience!!!

Cons: Couldn’t be any better !!

Pros: amazing breakfast, wonderful rooms, helpful staff

Pros: the spacious colonial style suite

Cons: the house keeping don't replenish the amenities in the room.

Pros: Delicious breakfast, soft silky bedding, attention to detail, small gifts, great staff and service, big rooms, beautiful views, well-kept gardens, free bicycles, vegetable garden and incredible pool

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The breakfast attendants who speak English well and the drivers who took us to the old town were always professional, but the others were not.

Cons: I have stayed in some hotels of SLH before.Therefore, I choose this hotel this time and look forward to this stay But the experience was rather disappointing： 1.Didn't turn on the air conditioner in the car and let us in the car at the first time that Employees are busy preparing work that should have been done before we arrived 2.The receptionist made us wait for a long time but forgot to check in with us Just ask a staff take us to our room because they were serving for two handsome men from Europe. They just remembered after they see us when we need use the car to going out 3.The bedding used in the hotel was of poor quality like guesthouse to use making sleep uncomfortable. 4.Daily cleaning only change rubbish bag and change bath towel, the floor was not cleaned and the bed is not well made. 5.Breakfast is easy maybe there aren't many guests. placemat is dirty you can see the dust on the it and it's plastic. 6. hotel staff have breakfast in the guest dining area at Breakfast time. Most of the staff lack basic training, are lax and lazy, especially the older receptionist in this hotel.If such a hotel can be called SLH that have many here even some guesthouse. We originally planned to stay for 5 nights, but we booked for 2 nights first. Now I feel this decision is right.I wanted to change hotels the first day I arrived

Pros: 5-star service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All meals at the hotel were excellent and served by friendly staff. Room was very spacious and had all the requisite technologies and features. Would stay there again.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: This was our third stay and it was every bit as good if not better than the first two. We had a large room with big bed covered with mosquito netting. The bathroom was modern but the hotel was wooden and felt like something from the early 20th century. The staff kept it clean. We had a terrace overlooking the garden. The breakfasts were excellent both western and Laotian.

Cons: Not much. Staff smoothed over any wrinkles.

Pros: I likes the service from all staff there. They take care all of our requests. The breakfast is cool and good quality. The hotel location is excellent, close to great restaurant and cafe. There are also Tuktuk park in front the hotel with fair price.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very nice staff, great location and good breakfast

Cons: The wind from air-condition did not reach to bed, I was feeling hot when sleep in bed.

Pros: Fantastic stay in this beautiful hotel, perfectly situated within walking distances of loads of beautiful temples, both the Mekong and the Nam khan rivers and the National museum/royal palace. Staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful Room was spotless and bed was really comfortable Breakfast was delicious

Pros: breakfast was excellent

Pros: Staff were fantastic. Nor and Bird especially.

Pros: This was our fourth trip and every bit as good as the other times we had hoped and requested rooms we'd had before but the staff worked to find us one as good. The staff bends over to make the stay momorable and succeeded. Recommended highly.

Cons: Not much. Food was better than last time. The hotel used to have a small shop but that's gone. I had bought great gifts in the past.

Pros: Location and staff. But there is plenty more hotels in this area with the same and more. Cheaper.

Cons: Just not up to scratch.

Pros: The General Manager who is in charge of the Sofitel and this property was charming.

Cons: There were discrepancies or should I say a large differential in prices the hotel quoted and what was available. For example transfer to/from the hotel was @ USD 22 whereas available rate was @ USD 8/10 one way and similarly for the excursions / tours. I can understand such differences in other developed countries but not Laos. Food / cuisine also quite expensive.

Pros: Wonderful hotel, beautiful decor, very good food and service, wonderful location!

Pros: Beautiful settings, exceptional location

Cons: Very well located although out of town

Pros: Perfection does exists. This is a magic place to stay in Luang Prabang. Peacefulness and elegance with wonderful staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Room is clean.

Pros: Staff so friendly and helpful. Amazingly beautiful setting above the Mekong River. Good shuttle bus service into town but also short cheap tuk tuk ride. Lovely gardens with peacefully grazing buffalo which belong to the hotel.

Cons: Bitten by mosquitoes in the room at night despite good aircon!

Pros: Scenery, room facility, staff friendliness.

Cons: Airport transfer should be included in room rate.

Pros: The hotel must surely have one of the best locations in the whole of Luang Prabang, with panoramic views of the Mekong River from the restaurant and many of the hotel suites. The gardens are very tranquil and the free shuttle service into town very convenient.

Cons: Whilst the room was attractively decorated, the bed was rather hard and the decorative wooden frame noisy even when sitting on it. Other than that the room was fine.

Pros: Location is fine but when traveling in May you have a lot of air pollution due to the farmers burning their land (grey skies). I would recommend to go another time of the year.

Cons: Location is fine but when traveling in May you have a lot of air pollution due to the farmers burning their land (grey skies). I would recommend to go another time of the year.

Pros: View from the balcony was just perfect. Mekong River and beautiful nature. The pool is also good, room (suite) was nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time there.

Cons: Internet was not very good, but we found the spots in the room where it was OK.

Pros: Our room had a good view of the Mekong River.

Pros: The view and the look of entire estate. Beautifully designed and decorated.

Pros: 1. The property provides 2 bottles of water for guests on arrival. There is a water refill station at the hotel where guests can refill their bottles at no charge. This is to reduce plastic waste. Those previous guests who could not see the refill station are clearly blind. 2. I spent a month living here while teaching & the cleaners knocked on my door EVERY DAY to clean the room, supply toilet paper & refresh the towels. 3. Paying extra for air conditioning is common in SE Asian countries. This gives guests the choice between having a cheaper room with a fan (for those on a budget with minimal needs) or a more expensive room with AC. Sometimes environmental consciousness needs to hit the hip pocket first. If people have to pay for extra electricity to run an AC maybe they will decide that they can in fact do without and still survive long enough to write a review. Opening a window is always a good option. 4. The breakfast menu was great with many variations: boiled. scrambled, poached, fried eggs with toast & fruit. Savoury omelet with toast & fruit. Noodles with salad, egg & fruit. Pancakes with honey banana & fruit. Tea/Coffee. All the food is cooked fresh as per guest order. 5. The staff were always kind, friendly, helpful & accommodating.

Cons: I love this place & would have stayed for a further 2 months but needed to move closer to the school.

Pros: Very friendly staff, good location, good breakfast.

Cons: The room without AC can be a bit warm.

Pros: Simplicity of it

Cons: They have been so genuine and respectively lovely. Its a quiet little treasure this place!!

Pros: Breakfast is good. All stuff is friendly and kindness.

Cons: I get free drop to airport but I have to pay when I get there. Be careful of driver asking for fares.

Pros: The staff was SO friendly!!!! Especially the lady at the front desk. The breakfast was amazing and so was the location.

Pros: Sally the manager and her assistant Dee were fantastic and answered all our questions accurately.

Pros: Good location, friendly staff, helpful owner, drinking water available all the time, breakfast in several options to choose from, fast Internet, hot water and mini cosmetics in the bathroom.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 1. the lovely managers. 2. the beautiful room. 3. the amenities such as bar fridge, water, breakfast, toilet paper without having to ask, daily room cleaning. 4. the balcony with seating. 5. lovely soft bed. 6. crispy white linen & towels. 7. tasty breakfast with plenty of variety...THE PANCAKES...YUM! 8. great fast wifi. 9. lovely flat-screen TV. 10. Choice of AC or fan depending on your budget & needs.

Cons: loved everything about Mekong Moon

Pros: Close to the river

Cons: If you stay more than one night the rooms aren’t serviced. Also you get one bottle of water for your stay and no more. The receptionist spoke good English, but had the disconcerting habit of not looking at you.

Pros: Everything, from location to staff, bed, breakfast,...
