Top 5-Star Hotels in Luang Prabang

Environment: rice fields, cicadas chirping, but no mosquitoes beside the paddy fields. Waking up early to bask in the warmth of the swimming pool with a hint of coolness in the morning, looking at the green rice fields, the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance, the clear blue sky and white clouds, I felt that there was a vivid memory on my life list. Room: The air conditioning is sufficient and there is no noise. There is also a fragrance system, and the high roof space makes people relax. The equipment is well-equipped and very new. I fell asleep on the first night without much fuss as I was in an area where bed trouble was most common when I was on a business trip. Service and breakfast: Very welcoming. There was a problem with the hot water on the first night. I called the front desk and sent someone to fix it immediately. There is a free shuttle to town. The breakfast is rich, especially the local millet noodles. Overall review: :) I don’t want to give a good review, because I’m afraid you might raise the price next time if you know more.

When our driver pulled up to the hotel by a rickety bridge over the river, we were a bit nervous as the hotel looks tiny from the outside. What we thought was the hotel was actually the lobby and the hotel is actually quite large and sprawling with buildings and bungalows scattered next to the river. The hotel has a lovely infinity pool by the river with a lounge chairs, beach towels and an affordable pool bar with snacks for sale. The rooms were spacious with large balconies. The toilet was by the front door so you had to exit the WC walk around the corner to the bathroom to wash your hands - sort of a weird set up, but did help in the morning for 2 people to get ready. This was the only hotel we stayed in with dual sinks and a long vanity so excellent for 2 travelers and a big plus! The shower was a walk in so east access. The hotel also has a restaurant where breakfast (included) is served in the morning. Unfortunately it was a buffet with limited options and the food that was supposed to be hot was always cold and unappetizing. The hotel uses tiny candles to try to keep the food warm but this method does not work at all. The hotel no longer has a shuttle to town which is a negative as you need to walk across a scary rickety bridge to get to town. The hotel does not have a gym which is a requirement, in my opinion, if you want to be a 5 star resort. My only other comment to management is to find a few better English speaking employees as we had difficulty communicating with staff. Yes we know we are in Laos and should learn to speak their language but I feel when you cater to tourists you need a few people in each area to speak the universal language for business. We did enjoy our stay and can recommend this hotel to others.

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.

The Azerai Long Bobon Hotel was once the residence of French officials. It was once built as a new brand Azerai by Aman founder Adrian Zecha. It was later withdrawn. After the withdrawal, the discerning Minor Group took over the hotel and On March 1, 2018, it was officially renamed AVANI+ Luang Prabang. ”AVANI+” is a brand of Minor Hotel Group. Hidden away in the city, Avani is right at the entrance to the night market. It is in a strategic location. You can easily explore the world heritage town of Luang Prabang whether by bicycle or on foot. The hotel provides free shuttle tutu service within 2 kilometers. The entrance to the hotel is the only way for monks to pass by, and the hotel will also provide free sticky rice to guests who want to experience alms. The room arranged by the hotel was an upgraded open-plan suite, which was very spacious, with a huge garden, a large portion of welcome fruit, and homemade wine at turndown time. It was originally a perfect check-in experience, but in the end, a small flaw was left by the carelessness of a front desk clerk: when I checked in, it was confirmed that I would check out at 4 pm the next day. At around 12 o'clock the next day, the waiter called to urge me to check out. house. Many plugs in the room are loose and unusable, and they probably need to be replaced.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the Sofitel team in Luang Prabang for creating such a warm, welcoming and accommodating stay. Across all departments, the staff went above and beyond, and collectively set a new standard for Service. Most notably Vard, Leng, Mr. Kao and Youth at the front desk, Mr. Umni, Keili and Souk from F&B and Mr. Anshul Sharma, the hotel Manager, who has done an exceptional job at leading the team and making the Sofitel, Luang Prabang a must stay haven in South East Asia. The hotel grounds were picturesque and serene, the rooms tastefully designed with ample space to luxuriate, the food (particularly breakfast) at Governors Grill delicious and fresh. But above all, the service was unlike any hotel I have stayed. From remembering the small details of our personal preferences, to recommending the best activities and experiences, to assisting with a medical emergency - my partner and I felt truly cared for. I am deeply grateful for such a beautiful and memorable Christmas and New Year, and we already look forward to our return!

The hotel room facilities and scenery are very good, and the service is also very good. Since the hotel reservation cannot be canceled, I bought cancellation insurance. Huatai Insurance is a scam company and it is useless. I remind everyone not to be fooled. Stay away from Huatai Insurance.

A true museum of a hotel! It combines comfort with refinement. Big, light and airy bedrooms tastefully appointed, charming and helpful staff. Its location offers good views on the Nam Khan river and its annex on the opposite bank is equally charming. Owner Ivan Scholte produces some wonderful wines and tips for off-track excursions. It is close to temples, shops and other entertainment without compromising its quiet and peaceful atmosphere. My family and I spent an idyllic week there. Not to be missed: Laos Buffalo Dairy and the Living Land ricefield trip (where you get to go through all the stages of cultivating rice, down to eating it!)

The design, decoration and layout of the entire hotel are very Southeast Asian. The bedding is also very comfortable. One of the two swimming pools is shallower and warmer, and the other narrower swimming pool is deeper and colder. The service was OK when checking in, and we also gave a tip. Everything was OK until I had breakfast and found out that one of the waitresses in the restaurant was discriminatory or pretending to be smart. I communicated with her in English throughout the whole process about what I ordered and consulted about what I didn't understand. As a result, the food I was served was short of weight, and the food I ordered was not the same as the plate. The whole experience was the most regrettable experience, which ruined so many good experiences. And later I found that there was a Chinese menu, but the service staff did not take the initiative to give it to us. Lao people feel shy or something. Anyway, the waiters who received us were enthusiastic and some kept avoiding us. It was inexplicable. On the first day of going out, I found that 300 yuan was missing from my wallet in the room on the same day. Although I am not sure whether it was taken by the hotel staff, I still remind people who go there to pack up their valuables. When you go out shopping, you must be careful when you meet people who can speak Chinese, whether they are compatriots or foreigners. They think that Chinese people have a lot of money and are stupid, or they are too generous and will rip you off. Secondly, you can bargain at night markets and morning markets.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at Amantaka in December this year. The whole city has just bounced back from the pandemic so I had a little expectation when coming to Luang Prabang this year. However, everything at the resort was exceptional, from the moment we were greeted at the airport, to when we were warmly greeted by the members of staff as we arrive at the moment, and when we left the resort. The property was converted from a historic building but was very well maintained. It has a classic and subtle charm and feels very cosy and intimate. Don't forget to use the Bath House that with a private pool, steamed room and sauna. Thank you Amantaka team for exceptional hospitality and I will be back again!

Facilities: Formerly a member of the SLH Hotel 🏨 group, with top-notch hardware configuration and French design, it is very comfortable even without air conditioning at night. Hygiene: Stayed for three nights in a row. On the second night, the cleaning was sloppy. The trash cans were not cleaned. Paper towels and mineral water were not replenished in time. If pointed out, improvements could be made immediately. But this should not happen in a hotel of this caliber. Environment: The small hotel is small in size and well-equipped with all the necessary facilities. The restaurant, swimming pool and garden are all good. Mosquitoes were handled very well and there were almost no bites during the stay. Service: Although there were some hiccups during the stay, they were all resolved perfectly in the end. No one can make mistakes without being a sage.
