Sokdee Residence

Our time here didn't start well as the member of staff who checked us in couldn't have been less interested or less helpful. After scanning our passports we were instructed to follow another member of staff to our room. We were given no information about anything, for example wifi or breakfast. Our room initially looked very nice..traditional style, nice dark wood and spacious. The balcony was also a really good size and quite private. The shower room however is in desperate need of renovation. It was dirty and quite unpleasant to use. The bed was rock hard as were the pillows. It was like lying on a plank of wood with sandbags as pillows. Undoubtedly the most uncomfortable bed I have ever had the misfortune to lay on. Sleep eluded me. The breakfast was extremely poor and unappetising. I had a slice of water melon the first morning and decided to pay for breakfast elsewhere for the remainder of my stay. Needless to say, I would never stay at the Sokdee again and I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

I highly recommend visitors visiting Luang Prabang stay with Sok Dee Residence. To start off, the owner, Mr. Soulinda, is friendly, kind, and very helpful. He makes sure the guests staying there are well taken care of. Sok Dee also provides various breakfast every day. During my stay with them, they offered breakfast from buffet, noodle soup to continental breakfast. The icing on the cake is the coffee they provide along with the breakfast, which is good quality with a proper coffee machine, not those 3-in-1 types. Besides that, the location is ideal. It is very close to Sisavangvong Road. Probably just 2 minutes of walking. And 8 minutes of walking to Wat Xieng Thong. Generally speaking, it is a very good place to stay and good value for the money. I will definitely stay with them next time when I visit Luang Prabang again.
