Overall this is a delightful little property. It is located on the Nam Khan River, not the Mekong River. It isn’t far from where the rivers converge. The view from balcony rooms are fantastic . The view has to be the best part of this place. Perhaps nicer views than some of the hotels near the center on the Mekong. The property is located in a small local neighborhood. If you don’t mind walking, you can walk to the center of town. It is hump in my opinion. However, I have mobility issues, so I needed to take a tuk tuk or taxi. The place is very tastefully decorated. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are nice, although the photos of the rooms with bathtubs are misleading. They are not full size claw tubs. They are actually half the size of a regular tub. I did manage to squeeze myself into the tub, but I would have like to have known it was a mini tub. The staff are very friendly. However, other than one of the main hosts, the staff’s English was limited. This was frustrating when I needed directions or to ask questions. There did not seem to be anyone who spoke good English in the evenings. The breakfast they serve is fantastic. I really enjoyed having my lovely breakfast on my balcony each morning. There is also a very nice outdoor area on the river downstairs for everyone. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a restaurant for other meals. There are a couple of small places nearby that will deliver, but the food was pretty basic. The other thing to be aware of is the noises in the area. Sometimes it is just beautiful and serene. At other times, you have rowdy noises from the restaurant nearby or loud music from the restaurant across the river at night. You also have roosters waking everyone up first thing in the morning. In addition, when I was there, there was one night when the monks, at a local temple chanted ALL NIGHT long. It didn’t happen every night. Also, on my last night, a neighbor in the next room complained that they could hear me talking on the phone in my room. The sound travels between the rooms. I managed to deal with the noise, but it would be a bit much for some people. On a positive note, I really enjoyed Luang Prabang and I wish I had stayed longer. I was there only 3 nights. The region is beautiful and I wish I had more time to explore. Also, the hotel arranged for my airport transfer round trip, which was great. They even advanced me a bit of local money until I could make it to an ATM. I had a great private local guide and driver named Jimmy (Anglo name).
