Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were great with a fantastic view over the river, very clean, quiet, and comfortable, featuring lovely shiny wooden floors, good sheets and towels, and good lighting. The service was beyond helpful, going out of their way to make our stay perfection. The location was peaceful, a bit further outside of Luang Prabang than anticipated, but it had a touch of magic expression with morning birds waking you up and night snores of geckos lulling you to sleep. The hotel offers a range of facilities to enhance your stay, making it a great choice for both leisure and business travelers.

Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spotless and spacious, each with its own porch overlooking the lush garden and lotus pond, offering a private retreat. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff who organized a memorable tuk-tuk trip to Kung Si Waterfalls. The location, although a short ride from the town center, was peaceful and surrounded by lush tropical plants. The dining experience was a real treat, with a delicious menu served directly to your veranda. Overall, a great value for the money.
