Hotels near Mekong River, Luang Prabang

My wife and I stayed at Villa Oasis in March, during Pi Mai (Lao New Year). We stayed twice, for a total of almost two weeks. We loved it. The villa complex is built alongside a swampy little lagoon (with no mosquitos, surprisingly), just a 10 minute walk from Phousi Hill, Sisavangvong Street, and the Luang Prabang Night Market. We chose it because Villa Oasis (and nearby Villa Mahasok) are two of the only mid-range hotels near the Old Quarter that have pools. As it happened, Luang Prabang experienced a heat wave in March 2023, so we were exceptionally glad we had the pool to cool off in. The villa is very close to a supermarket, there are many cheap restaurants close by, and you are only a 10 minute walk from the tourist night market, with lots of eating and drinking options. Two Little Birds cafe is only 5 minutes walk and has fantastic smoothie bowls. The rooms were comfortable, with traditional wood decor and small balconies. Breakfast in the open air restaurant was predictable but good. The villa offers free bicycles, which is handy if you want to get to the main restaurant and bar area of the Old Quarter, on the mid section of Sisavangvong Street, or to the restaurants along the Mekhong riverbank. Easily the best thing about Villa Oasis was its staff, who couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. They were absolutely lovely and would do everything possible to make your stay more comfortable. They were quick to arrange airport transfers, taxis, train tickets, river boat tickets, or anything else needed. Nicest was the complimentary refreshing fresh fruit juice that would magically appear in your room or delivered to you poolside when you arrived back from exploring Luang Prabang.

We spent 3 nights in this small hotel. The rooms are correct, clean but very spacious. The staff is very nice and despite the language barrier, try to satisfy us as best as possible. We have to order the evening if we want eggs. Otherwise we are a group of 12 people, the only on the hotel, and a certain lack of organisation despite the good will of the hotel. The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable. The hotel is located along a street, so a little noise but the location is interesting for walking, visiting etc.. correct stay

I am a solo traveler in my 50s. Most hotels in Laos are small-scale. The staff are very friendly. Kuang Si Falls join van reservation 100,000,000 kip I booked a new motorcycle rental for 250,000 kip per day at the hotel. This hotel has a semi-basement, so if you book a cheap room, there is a high chance of being booked in the semi-basement. Even just idling at the table in front of the hotel seems emotional. Breakfast is plain bread and coffee. The location is good, with many shops nearby and close to the Mekong River (1 minute walk). Hmong Ahi Market is also close by (5 minutes walk). There is also a Miniso nearby, but it doesn't have many items. I bought sunscreen and a band next to the Miniso pharmacy. Currency cannot be exchanged at the hotel. The room is not that clean by Korean standards. Some complaints are covered up by the kindness of the staff.^^ It seems like a lot of European travelers stay here. Overall, I am satisfied with the price.

“This hotel’s bed is incredibly comfortable! The mattress is perfectly balanced, providing an excellent night’s sleep. The quality of the bedding is also very high; the sheets and duvet covers are very soft and cozy. The hotel’s breakfast is also delicious, made with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable sleep and a tasty breakfast!”

Excellent Hotel in Luang Prubang,recently refurbished so all the facilities are clean and well presented. Staff at the hotel are extremely helpful. The selection and quality of the Breakfast is good too. Highly recommend this hotel

Immerse yourself in the cultural tapestry of Laos, surrounded by the rich history of UNESCO-listed sites. The location, a stellar 5-star, ensures every corner explored is a journey through time. The staff's warm embrace, earning a solid 5-star, makes each guest feel like a cherished part of Luang Prabang's narrative. While the facilities garner 3 stars, this budget haven offers unparalleled value for money. Breakfast, a delightful 4-star affair, sets the tone for a day of exploration. A pocket-friendly masterpiece in the heart of heritage.

I came here with my friends. On the way, I heard someone say that this store is a great value. The same room across the street costs more than 500. The boss gave me a huge discount. You can also rent a battery car from the boss and exchange it for Lao currency. It's also clean and has a big garden. The boss also introduced delicious restaurants. Opposite is a temple attraction, and next to it is the French-built iron bridge, which is very historical. It is said that the house is an old house built in the colonial period and renovated. Highly recommended!

I chose his house because of the awesome retro style, In addition, the reviews of his hotel in Phuket are not bad, Booked without much hesitation. When we check in, we plan to charter a boat to cruise the Mekong River. The manager on duty asked enthusiastically if he needed to order some food, And can help to arrange, Another older lady saw me hanging the camera, took me to their wine cellar, let me take some pictures, He also said that he could choose a red wine to bring on board. After reading the MENU, we felt that we didn't like it very much. It just means chartering a boat is fine. The attitude of the duty manager immediately changed drastically. Since the room was not ready at that time, We went out for a walk, When I came back, I happened to meet him enthusiastically sending away a group of white residents. See us come back for another dramatic face-changing, Turned around and said ”304, 305” to the front desk and walked away. The front desk is quite enthusiastic, Helped us send our luggage to the room, and gave a detailed introduction to the room, This is the first unpleasant experience in this hotel. Since his SPA is very famous in Luang Prabang, I booked a package with SPA when booking, When checking in, the front desk did not ask if an appointment was required. Then I remembered to make an appointment with the front desk, I was told that the appointment was over for the day, Because we will leave Luang Prabang at noon the next day, So I made an appointment until 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, In the end, he came to us that night and told us, It was full the next morning, Can only choose noon, So we don't have time to do this project, The front desk said that his authority was powerless, We can communicate with the manager the next day. We raised this issue with the manager when we checked out the next day (turns out the lady was the manager yesterday), She offered to give us a bottle of red wine, I feel that she is really obsessed with red wine, Although his family's wine selection is not bad, But this treatment is not satisfactory. We said we don't need this bottle of red wine, And we are two rooms, She also offered to take us to the train station as compensation. Due to time constraints, I don't want to be too entangled, can only agree. Before she left, she asked me for a photo of yesterday in the wine storage room, It turned out to be waiting here. When having breakfast in the morning, We are an unsolicited menu, After we sat down, two white men came to the next table, The same waiter delivered the menu enthusiastically, And kindly asked them how their day was, That flattering look made me feel a little sick. The female manager was also in the restaurant at the time, When the food is served, the whole face is expressionless, The sound of placing the plates is very loud. This should not be the quality of a hotel manager. In short, This hotel licks white very badly, I saw that many domestic residents had similar experiences in his home, Send it out to let everyone avoid the pit, His price and service are very mismatched, There are a lot of good hotels in Luang Prabang, There is really no need to spend money at his house to find happiness.

It was our first time in Luang Prabang, and we picked Kiridara based on other reviews. Rest-assured, it was a smart choice. The location was great. While not in the center, there is a market super close and a supermarket about 10 minutes away. For the rest the hotel offers a free shuttle which is on call until about 9 pm, and takes you more or less everywhere you need to go. The rooms were clean, nicely layed out and offered everything you need. If something was wrong, it was fixed quickly. The pool was refreshing and offered a great view. The drinks from then pool bar were delicious. The highlight was the breakfast. There was a small, but nice buffet plus a menu. The a la carte menu was the biggest plus. You could pick up to four dishes, each from one category, like eggs, hearty or sweet. Be sure to eat yourself through all the options, while you stay - it‘s worth it! All in all a great stay, and we will come back to Kiridara for sure for our next stay.

I took a half day emountain bike this morning with 2 other people. I was super excited having paid $75 for it, had high expectations... The bike itself looked fine, however it could not handle steep hills. I asked another guest on the tour to test it as I was really struggling. He said it had no oomph or power on the steeper hills. He too ended up pushing it which he didnt have to do at all on his bike at any point. The others were motoring through pain free and they were older than me. The guide tested and said it was fine. Of course. The climbs were steep and it was exhausting. We never got to stop for photos or admire the scenery and it felt like an endurance test. We were then taken on a hike to some caves but I couldn't manage it after the exertion of getting there. The guide never checked on me and just let me go down alone. There was a van with three men in it (at this point I didn't know they were going to take my bike to the next village). As a solo traveller my first thought is my safety. Here I am waiting (no phone signal) in the middle of nowhere with these three young men there. The woman in my group observed there was 'bedding in the back'. It was unacceptable. I was then deposited I'm a village somewhere (alone) and waited for the others. Please note I am fit, lift weights and play badminton in a league. I have also played semi professional football. I gave them the opportunity to make it right but as ”the guide said it was fine” it clearly was, fine. Breathtaking. I also felt the reply had a degree of judgement in it ”difficulties completing the course” like I'm a 39st unit! There are no managers/decision makers on site. A premium price for a basic product- should have just hired a mountain bike for a tenth of the price. I hate giving bad reviews and if it had cost a bit less then I probably wouldn't but I really think people should know they are rolling the dice with this company. Absolute waste of time and money. Lunch was ok. Avoid. I feel so mugged off.
